Rising sea
levels
increase
tsunami
impact
– study
• By Jess Gibson
RISING SEA levels will see tsunamis
have an even bigger impact on
Lyttelton and Akaroa harbours.
A study by the National Institute
of Water and Atmospheric Research
shows a tsunami triggered by an
earthquake in Peru would impact on
bays within the harbours if sea levels
continue to rise due to climate change.
The extent of the tsunamis
predicted in the report are almost
entirely within the existing tsunami
evacuation areas, but 12 additional
Banks Peninsula properties will have
to be added to the areas.
City council head of civil defence
and emergency management Rob
Orchard said staff engaged with a
handful of property owners on Banks
Peninsula “to make sure they’re
aware of the new information and
ways they can stay safe in the event of
a tsunami flooding their land.”
The simulation study presented
the potential flooding risks from a
tsunami triggered by a magnitude
9.28 earthquake in Peru, an event
predicted to happen once every 500
years on average.

THE SPOTLIGHT will be on city
councillors post election – over their pay.
On page 3 today, we reveal a change in
the way city councillors are remunerated.
They will receive money from a fund
called a governance pool. They will set their
own salaries, including any increase, and how community board
members, including those representing Banks Peninsula, will be
funded.
The issue of what Banks Peninsula members get paid has been
a hot topic during this current term, and I fully agree with their
concerns.
Community board pay rates have previously been based on
population. But Banks Peninsula members have big distances to
travel to get to meetings and carry out local body business that is
more time-consuming than city board members.

THE FUNDING of the Banks
Peninsula Community Board
will lie in the hands of city
councillors following the
October local body elections.
City councillors will vote
on how much of a $1,843,200
governance pool will go towards
increasing their own salaries
and decide if any should be put
towards increasing the remuneration
of the Banks Peninsula
Community Board and other
community boards.
Elected members will vote
on the allocation of funds and
make a recommendation to the
Remuneration Authority, which
will have the final say.
In spite of receiving a pay rise
of $194, the Banks Peninsula
Community Board is still paid
less than half of what inner-city
board members are.
As it stands, Banks Peninsula
Community Board members
are set to receive $9864 and the
chairperson $19,729 after the
elections.
Whereas members of the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board will receive
$24,580 and their chair $49,160.
They say what they are paid
fails to account for the time and
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
Funding review after elections
travel that the role requires.
The current remuneration
model is set by population, so
community boards with bigger
populations get better remuneration.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board member Jed O’Donoghue
thought they were paid a pittance
for the work they were
required to do.
He said the low level of remuneration
contributed to his decision
to not stand for re-election.
Half of the board have said
they may not seek reelection
because of what they are paid.
“I think to attract more candidates
and make the democratic
process better you would need
better remuneration,” he said.
Deputy Mayor and Banks
Peninsula councillor Andrew
Turner said he would like to see
some of the governance pool
used to increase the funding of
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board.
“The work of a community
board member is not solely
driven by the population that it
represents. A lot of the work of
a community board is driven
by the environment and on the
Banks Peninsula we have a lot of
environmental issues,” he said.
Andrew Jed
Turner O’Donoghue
City councillor James Gough
agreed there needed to be more
consistency in the remuneration
of community board members.
However, he thought it was
also important city councillors
were paid their fair share.
“You would be mad to not
appreciate that remuneration is
going to factor in the attraction
of quality candidates,” he said.
Councillors will receive a
minimum base salary of $97,280
– $5120 less than what they are
currently paid.
But the mayor will get an
increase, receiving $195,000 – a
$1901 rise from the current
$193,099 the role pays.
Funds from the pool could
be used to increase the base
salary of city councillors
and additional pay could be
allocated towards roles with
extra responsibilities, such as the
mayor, deputy mayor, chairs and
deputy chairs of committees.

Akaroa under fire on Facebook
• By Jess Gibson
A WEEK after Lyttelton was
targetted by the notorious
Facebook page Sh** Towns of
New Zealand, Akaroa has come
under fire.
A satirical review of Akaroa
which was posted to the page
last Tuesday attracted more
than 200 comments and 50
shares.
Sh** Towns of New Zealand,
which humorously writes about
“all the best places not to go on a
holiday,” is followed by more than
125,000 people.
“The Banks Peninsula outpost
of Akaroa had the misfortune of
being settled by the French and
has been filled with pretentious,
foul-smelling weirdos ever since,”
it read.
Akaroa resident and Frenchman
Steve Le Lievre does not
have Facebook but has read the
post and said it was “way the hell
off from the truth.’’
The 71-year-old is a well-known
identity in Akaroa as he is the
town crier and has lived there his
whole life.
The page took several jabs at
the town’s French history which
dates back to 1840 when the first
group of settlers landed.
Mr Le Lievre is a direct descendant
of one of those settlers,
Francois Le Lievre.
The post read: “French
origins are still evident in the
inhabitants’ laziness, aversion
to personal hygiene, unnatural
lust for baguettes and eagerness
to surrender at the first possible
opportunity,” it read.
“Oh god, it’s rather strange
to me. It has no bearing on the
history of Akaroa,” Mr Le Lievre
said.
“It’s bloody crazy, I know the
history because I’m part of it,” he
said.
The post also served a backhanded
compliment at the town’s
attractive views.
“Akaroa’s main claim to fame
DESCENDANT:

crier Steve Le
Lievre is not
impressed
with a harsh
write-up on
his home of 71
years.
is its supposed ‘picturesque
charm’, which is pimped out
twice daily when hordes of
norovirus-afflicted cruise ship
passengers descend on the
hamlet to buy dodgy croissants
and take a picture next to an old
lighthouse,” it read.
Mr Le Lievre said he loves
“everything” about Akaroa
including the bustling tourism
scene.

New study shows
impacts of tsunami
•From page 1
Different sea level rise
scenarios are considered –
ranging from 19cm to 1.06m –
over the next 50-100 years.
Lyttelton has a steep
topography on the coast
protecting most of its shoreline
from a tsunami but low-lying
bays in the harbour, like Purau
Bay, Charteris Bay, Governors
Bay and Head of the Bay, are
more exposed to inundation.
Using 2018 seas levels,
NIWA discovered during the
magnitude 9.28 earthquake
scenario the inundation at Head
of the Bay would reach 1.5km
inland with a maximum depth
of 7m.
The inundation depth for
Head of the Bay is expected to
reach 8m with 2065 sea levels,
and 9m by 2120. It would extend
about 90m inland in both
scenarios. Port areas see severe
damage to infrastructure.
Low-lying areas in Akaroa
Harbour are the most likely to
be affected in a tsunami, namely
Wainui, Akaroa, Takamatua,
Duvauchelle Bay, Barrys Bay and
French Farm Bay.
In a 9.28 earthquake with 2018
sea levels, the inundation depth
in Akaroa would be more than
5m and reach as far as 250m
inland, flooding most of the
historical town.
In a 2120 sea level scenario,
it shows inundation would
increase in Akaroa by 100m
inland. In Takamatua with
2018 levels, inundation would
reach beyond the Christchurch-
Akaroa Rd as far as 440m inland
with a maximum depth of 6.5m.
In 2120, flooding would have
increased by 60m inland.
Scenarios with higher sea
levels also amplified inundation
in other bays.
“Modelling like this is so
important in allowing us to
better understand how tsunamis
flood the land. In turn, it allows
us to make the best-informed
emergency management
decisions,” Mr Orchard said.
“We are always growing
our understanding, and as we
learn more, we will update
information in our tsunami
evacuation zones,” he said.
The modelling was done by
NIWA at the city council’s
request as part of a multi-hazard
analysis project.

How to Escape from Prison
by Paul Wood
The Remarkable Story of How One Man Defied the Odds
At 18, Paul Wood thought he had lost everything. He
had committed an act he knew would send him to prison
for many years. To a young man like Paul, it might as
well have been for the rest of his life.
Plunged into a nightmarish world of extreme violence, solitary
confinement, gang allegiances, drugs, vindictive wardens
and regular stabbings, Paul spent the next 11 years confined in some of New
Zealand’s toughest jails.
Based on an account of his experiences he wrote while still inside, How to Escape
from Prison chronicles Paul’s road to redemption and a new life as a doctor of
psychology, helping others strive to fulfil their potential and develop the resilience
to flourish, even in adversity. This is a gripping read about a man who sank to the
depths of despair, before scaling the heights of true freedom.
‘Paul’s transformation is unbelievable. We are sometimes brought up to think
a zebra can’t change its stripes. Paul Wood’s story is proof that anyone can
change. It gives you great courage that you can do anything.’
- Sir John Kirwan

has spiralled out of control. And the fallout will lead them into the Appalachian
mountains, to the terrible truth about really happened to Michelle, and to a remote
compound where a radical group has murder in mind...

ANOTHER five peacocks
have been shot as a
neighbourly dispute in
Lyttelton continues to
escalate.
In February, Brenchley
Farm owner Sue Stubenvoll
sent a legal letter to her
neighbour Janelle Wills,
who feeds the wild
peacocks. It said she had
the right to shoot the birds
under the Impounding Act.
She gave Miss Wills four
weeks notice of what would
happen if they came onto
her property.
In May, Ms Stubenvoll
arranged for someone to
shoot five of the peacocks.
Last week, she had
someone shot another five.
She said it is possible
more may be killed.
Ms Stubenvoll said she
had eaten some of the
peacocks.
“They are pretty tough so
sometimes I give bits to the
dog,” she said.
The cull comes right in
the middle of a relocation
effort to move the peacocks
out of harm’s way.
There are now only
four peacocks left.
Seventeen have been
relocated.
There were originally
more than 30 peacocks in
the area.
Miss Wills said the
TARGETED:
Five more
peacocks
have
been shot
before they
could be
moved off
a Lyttelton
property.
Five more wild peacocks
shot – and some eaten
peacocks that were shot all
had new homes and were
about to be moved.
“I don’t get it when they
have all got homes they are
set to move in to. Why kill
them when you can save
them?” she said.
She wants more time
to relocate the remaining
peacocks.
Ms Stubenvoll said she
killed the peacocks in a bid
to protect the rare geckos
and skinks that live on her
farm.
However, Miss Wills
does not believe her.
“The reason she has done
this is because she wanted
to eat them, it has nothing
to do with geckos.”

McArthur received a Gold Star in
1998 for 25 years service to the
Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade.
• By Jess Gibson
AFTER 25 years, volunteer
firefighter Marty Stanley still
gets an adrenaline rush when the
sirens go off at the Governors Bay
station.
Since joining the Governors
Bay Volunteer Fire Brigade in
1994, Mr Stanley has responded
to a range of call-outs in
the community and across
Christchurch.
But he said his biggest feat “by
far” was the Port Hills fires in
2017, where he helped out for
more than a week.
Now the 60-year-old has been
recognised with a gold star pin,
which represents 25 years of
service to the brigade.
“It was a pretty awesome
feeling. The years have gone really
fast, that’s for sure,” Mr Stanley
said.
“Working for the brigade is
great and it has been an amazing

Remembering a veteran

his retirement in 2000. Jim was
made a life honorary member
of the brigade in 1985, but the
pinnacle of his service was
when he received his Gold Star
for 25 years service in 1998.
The function for this was held
at the Sumner RSA. I seem to
recall a night of rock and roll
and dancing.
Not all of Jim’s fire brigade
activity was within the Sumner
brigade.
He had active roles in both
the Canterbury Provincial Fire
Brigades Association and the
Mid-Canterbury Fire Brigades
Sub Association, serving as
president of each (at different
times) and being made a life
member of each. Jim has
remained a firm supporter of
these organisations, and of
the Sumner Volunteer Fire
Brigade. He was always a
regular attendee of AGMs and
social events.
Last month we had our
annual AGM, which celebrated
125 years of the brigade’s
existence.
To mark this historic
occasion, we had speakers
relate their experiences of the
Sumner brigade. We had the
treat of hearing Jim speak
about some of his experiences
in the brigade, which in
hindsight turned out to be
excellent timing.

Bid to reduce
freedom
camping
at reserve
• By Jess Gibson
AN ATTEMPT is being made to
address freedom camping issues
in Diamond Harbour by changing
a popular app.
The Diamond Harbour
Residents Association expressed
concerns in May over freedom
campers littering and causing
parking congestion for other
vehicles at Stoddart Point Reserve.
The city council has now
requested an app providing
information about freedom
camping at the reserve change its
wording to help reduce the issues.
CamperMate is a popular
phone app referenced on the city
council’s “know where to camp”
brochure, which lists freedom
camping locations nationwide
and specifies guidelines for those
areas.
CamperMate currently refers
to the city council’s freedom
camping bylaw from 2015 for the
whole of Diamond Harbour.
It states that certified selfcontained
vehicles can park at any
city council-owned site, except
a prohibited area of Purau Bay,
for a maximum of two nights per
month.
The city council has asked
CamperMate to update its
guidelines specifically for
Stoddart Point Reserve to
say “certified self-contained
campervans can stay in this
parking area for up to two
nights in any 30-day period.
Proof of self-containment will
be required. Regular monitoring
and enforcement. Please take
all rubbish with you. Popular
parking area for visitors, and for
locals commuting by ferry.”

Time capsule
found in
school ceiling
A 25-YEAR-OLD time capsule
has been discovered at Okains
Bay School.
A builder found the capsule in
the school’s ceiling. It contained
memorabilia from 1994, such as
newspaper clippings, magazines,
coins, stamps and several letters
from a roll of 19 pupils.
In one of the letters, a group
of senior pupils shared what was
happening at the time.
“New Zealand’s prime minister
is Jim Bolger, for $1 you can buy
a pie or a Crunchie bar, we drive
to school in a 1991 Falcon, 1973
Holden, 1991 Honda and 1981

“We’d like NZ to be clean,
pollution-free and war-free by
2050.”
Principal Colin Hammond
said the discovery was “very
exciting” for teachers and the
school’s 11 pupils.
Mr Hammond was in his
20s in 1994 and said he shared
what it was like to be a “spring
chicken” in those times.
Pupils will create their own
capsule before placing both back
in the ceiling to be discovered at
a later date.

Peninsula
If I never see another road
cone again . . .
One of the many things that
Christchurch folk are over is
road cones and traffic works,
detours and changed street
layouts. Driving in our city is a
bit like adventure tourism – you
never quite know what route you
will be taking or where you will
end up.
But I haven’t detected this
frustration (or at least not quite
as much as other times) with
the extensive road work that is
going on in Sumner Village. I
think there are two reasons for
tolerance.
The first is that every day the
Shag Rock to Surf Club section
of the Coastal Pathway gets
closer to finishing – and it is
going to be such an asset for
Canterbury once the next two
stages are completed.
And in the village itself, the
extensive work is the delivery of
the concept part of the village
masterplan – which we started
working on eight years ago.
It will really lift the look of
the village and I am sure will
be warmly welcomed by all
residents. (And hopefully, boost
the “Shop Local” campaign).

AS PART of the Matariki
celebrations, Vittoria recently had
her first hangi meal.
She loved it so much she started
using a fork on her own just to
eat it. I’m not even exaggerating,
it was literally the first time she’d
used a fork on her own. A fork
she took off Laura.
She was even scooping wee bits
up to feed to her grandparents in
exchange for more chicken.
After munching down on the
stuffing, pumpkin and potato on
her own plate, she was banging
on Laura’s potato with her fork for
more.
Truly, her father’s daughter.
This week has not been so full
of fun however, I’ve been sick with
a cold and a cough, the first time
since becoming the stay-at-home
parent.
I also had my first “concerned
parent” trip to the 24-hour surgery
on Tuesday.
To save those who read last
week’s edition from further poobased
trauma, I’ll quickly summarise
the reason; there was the
stinkyness, ’twas a strange colour
and Dr Google got me all stressed.
I started by calling Plunket, who
informed me that it would be a
good idea to take her to the doctors,
just in case.
As is typical in cases where you
present to a packed surgery with
a fairly benign concern, you wait
– for ages.
Pro tip; a giggling patient who is
comedian? Racism, child abuse,
abortion, sexual misconduct,
rape, family violence, bullying,
and other examples of sensitive
issues, exploitation and misuse of
power.
Comedian Ray Shipley explores

spots, inconsistencies.
Vote with your feet. Keep
staying away from racism.

list.
Needless to say, when I finally
saw the doctor it was a definite
non-emergency. But not wasted
time; I was reassured and what I
was worried about was a totally
legit concern. I am winning at
parenting.
So finally, to the family who
kindly lent me books and toys for
Vittoria to help entertain her and
to the wee lad who chatted with
her through the long wait, thank
you.

SUMNER WILL need a miracle
to qualify for the premier metro
rugby competition plate semifinals
after their 15-48 loss to
Linwood at Linfield Park on
Saturday.
The result means Sumner
now have to defeat Sydenham
on Saturday and hope Burnside
and Linwood suffer upset
losses to University and Belfast
respectively.
Sumner showed plenty of
promise in the opening half
against Linwood, with close to
80 per cent of the possession.
However, they found themselves
trailing 7-12 at half-time.
“To have all that possession
and territory and only score
runs came from Millie Junge, Sam
Bailey, Zara Percasky, Abigail
Junge and Neve Majendie.
The senior racing was
highlighted by titles for Lisa
Brignull, David Fitch and Graham
Batchelor.
Brignull was dominant in
the 45-49 women’s 5000m. She
finished more than 40sec ahead of
her nearest rival with a winning
time of 20min 31sec. Fitch was
seven points is one thing. Then
to give them two opportunities
and have them score two tries
was another,” said coach Martin
Dodgson. Sumner scored a first
half try through second-five Willy
Saukura after working their way
into Linwood’s territory after a
dozen fazes.
Dodgson said he couldn’t fault
his side’s mentality in the first half
after their subpar performance
against Burnside a week earlier.
In the second half, Sumner
dotted down for their second try
through fullback Poasa Cama.
After a scrum, Sumner went
down the blindside and Saukura
put Cama in to score with an
impressive off-load. Cama only
recently returned to rugby after
a serious knee injury at Linfield
Medal haul at South Island cross-country champs
even more dominant in winning
the 40-44 men’s 9000m. His time
of 30min 17sec saw him finish
nearly 4min clear. Meanwhile
Batchelor won the 70-plus 7000m
in 33min 3sec.
There were also podium finishes
for Robyn Perkins
in the 55-59 women’s 5000m,
Morgan Strong in the 45-49
women’s 5000m and Alistair Cory-
Wright in the 50-54 men’s 9000m.

know, has these firearms or parts, please go to a collection event to hand them in for buy-back or amnesty.
Park early last year. Linwood then
went on to score two tries in quick
succession and seized the match.
“That’s when our mentality
probably started to drop off a bit.
We started missing tackles and
we conceded two late tries,” said
Dodgson.
From an individual standpoint,
Dodgson pin-pointed the
performance of lock Josh Loader,
who picked up the players’ player
of the match. “He carried the ball
and did his core job really well.
He really ripped into things,” said
Dodgson.
Sumner are now fifth in the
bottom six competition, two
points behind Burnside in second
and the final plate semi-final spot.
Their match against Sydenham at

Embracing the blend – it’s a matter of balance
• By Mark Henderson
THIS ASSORTMENT of wine
eschews the concept of single
variety wines in favour of
embracing the blend.
It is all a matter of balance
and synergy, where two, three
or more ingredients can create
a complete whole, while the
freedom of the blend allows
wine-makers to experiment and
‘’have a little fun’’.
Pegasus Bay’s Sauvignon
Semillon and Millton’s Les Trois
Enfants are old hands at this
game, while the new Vergence
typifies the test-bed approach,
with the Untitled range marrying
a startlingly diverse, multivintage,
region and variety
approach (Back label Lot
numbers will unlock the details).
Game on indeed.

Matchstick and a little wild

Powerful fruit offers breadth on

the fruit. A zesty tangy element
runs like a laser beam through
the wine, to the delightfully long

mouth.

moving into some savoury notes.
Delightfully, bright and zesty, dry
finish that hangs in your mouth.
A neat each-way bet here, both
as an aperitif, or with food.

NV Untitled White Blend
Price: $25
Rating: Very good
Multi vintage, variety and
region blend. Fragrant nose
that evokes tropical fruit salad.
Creamy entry, a crisp, fresh
palate with notes of cooked
apple, pip fruits, toffee and
a refreshing, ripe grapefruit
character that gives zestiness.
Fresh and appealing drinking
with a little wisp of salinity on
the finish that gets the salivary
glands going.
NV Untitled Red Blend
Price: $30
Rating: Excellent
Intriguing multi vintage, multi
region and multi variety wine
with a nose of red fruits, malt
biscuits, wild herbs and a tangy,
resiny note.
This nods its hat to Europe,
its tanginess and juicy,
crunchiness suggesting a Kiwi
Beaujolais.
Fresh, bright, vibrant, nicely
balanced with an appealing
bittersweet element before
flowing to a long, cool, dry
finish.

Eat healthy using delicious ingredients
Salads never need to
be boring, as seasonal
ingredients are just that
– seasonal. Winter brings
delicious flavours and
textures which go great with
grains. But don’t forget to
add a punchy dressing
Buckwheat with
autumn vegetables and
pomegranate dressing
Ingredients
250g buckwheat groats, rinsed
well
1 bulb fennel, cut into thin
wedges
250g pumpkin, peeled and
deseeded, cut into cubes
1 red onion, peeled and cut into
wedges
¼ cup parsley, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp fennel tops, roughly
chopped
Dressing
2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses
1 Tbsp maple syrup
4 Tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Directions
Heat the oven to 200 deg C.
Bring a medium-sized pot of
lightly-salted water to the boil.
Add the rinsed buckwheat and
cook for 25-35min. The groats
should be tender when cooked.
Drain and rinse under cold
water. Put into a large bowl.
While the groats are cooking,
prepare the vegetables.
Put the chopped vegetables
into a bowl with enough olive
oil to coat them well. Season
with salt and cracked pepper.
Toss to combine. Spread evenly
over a suitably-sized oven dish.
Roast, turning occasionally so
the vegetables cook evenly and
colour all over (30min).
Add the ingredients together
and pour over the dressing in a
small bowl and whisk together.
Add the roasted vegetables to
the cooked buckwheat, drizzle
over the dressing and add the
herbs. Toss gently to combine,
taste and adjust, seasoning if
necessary.
Top off your healthy salad
with a nutritious treat
Hazelnut bliss balls
Ingredients
½ cup hazelnuts
½ orange (juice and grated zest)
1 cup fine coconut
1 Tbsp coconut oil
½ tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp dark cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch of salt
Chunks of your favourite (storebought)
dark chocolate for the
centre of each bliss ball.
Directions
Place all the bliss ball
ingredients (except the chunks
of chocolate) into a bowl and
mix well. Then roll balls out of
the mixture.
Push a chunk of chocolate into
the centre of each bliss ball while
shaping them in your hands. You
can choose how big you make
the bliss balls.

BMW X5 – performance with comfort
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
THE LAST place I expected to
see a brand new BMW X5 was in
Cootamundra, a small town near
the New South Wales/Victoria
border.
I had been to a rock concert in
Sydney, and took the train to Melbourne
to have a few days at the
formula one grand prix event.
I spotted the latest generation
sport utility vehicle sitting in a
car park near the railway station
and, although I couldn’t see the
nomenclature it had a remarkable
resemblance to the very car
I picked up soon after my return
home – it was even the same
colour – white.
BMW New Zealand is landing
the X5 here in three specifications
at launch, with other variants sure
to follow. At present there is the
choice of two six-cylinder 3-litre
diesels or a 3-litre six-cylinder
petrol engine. The test car was
the xDrive30d, the entry model
at $135,200. The other variants
are the xDrive40i at $147,900 and
M50d at $177,900. The new X5 is
true to its heritage, it is the large
sport utility vehicle that impresses
with its build quality, performance
and economy.
It is also chock full of specification,
the list is way too long
to detail considering it was also
fitted with many of the specification
items from BMW’s long list
of optional extras.
Personally, I could do without
all the bells and whistles, the X5
is a car with purpose, it is there
for the family car buyer who also
needs practicality, and it does that
well within its design parameter,
even though it is just a five-seater
only. Comfort levels are high,
and the X5 travels quietly and
smoothly.
Much of the latter is due to the
sophistication within the suspension
and driveline. BMW rates
the 2993cc diesel at 195kW and
620Nm; as a performance car
builder, the company has produced
an engine with remarkable
outputs, both developed low in
the rev band at 4000rpm and
2000rpm respectively.
Drive is passed through an
eight-speed transmission to all
four wheels, this process almost
seamless and contributes to the
refinement of the entire package,
it’s uncanny how the gearbox can
harness the high power outputs
without notice. There are also
several drive modes which can be
BMW X5: Serious four-wheel-drive system.
tempered to suit each individual’s
driving preference.
In terms of performance, the
big X5 has a solid turn of speed,
it will accelerate to 100km/h in
6.8sec, and will return a fuel usage
combined cycle average of 7.2-litre
per 100km (39mpg), that fits
with the evaluation car’s readout,
it was showing a constant average
of around 8.8l/100km (32mpg).
It also showed a 5.5l/100km
(51mpg) instantaneous figure at a
steady 100km/h cruise, the engine
unstressed at a lowly 1300rpm.
On the road, the X5 cruises
with much dignity and poise, as
you would expect from a luxury
European car. I drove the fabulous
high country roads taking
in State Highway 72, the scenic
route between Canterbury’s two
main river gorges.
The X5 has handling and control
that is akin to models from
the company that has such an enviable
sporty car heritage. I’m not
saying the X5 is a sports car but it
does have attributes that draws in
that technique as a car maker. The
30d rides on huge 22in wheels
and that contributes greatly as to
how the X5 feels from behind the
wheel, not withstanding that fourwheel-drive
enhances grip in the
first instance.
The X5 buyer can push quickly
into a corner with the knowledge
that it has ability, and offers reassurance
at the same time. While
• Price – BMW X5 30d,
$135,200
• Dimensions – Length,
4922mm; width,
2004mm; height, 1745mm
• Configuration – Sixcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2993cc, 195kW, 620Nm,
eight-speed automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.8sec
• Fuel usage – 7.2l/100km
its handling and surety must be
described as well above average,
it does so without compromising
comfort, body movement is well
controlled without the spring
and damper rates being overly
firmed.
As I’ve alluded to, the X5 is a
large SUV, it sits at just under
5m and it has a wealth of internal
space so that occupants can
spread out and enjoy the associated
benefits. If you think that
comes at the cost of rear load
space, that’s certainly not the case,
BMW claims an 645-litre cargo
carrying capacity, stretching to
1860-litres with the rear seats
folded flat.
The X5 has carved out a healthy
part of New Zealand’s SUV
market, the new model will only
add to its appeal, it’s a versatile,
practical all-rounder, and one
which through its quality build
will serve and last for many years.
I certainly hope to get a drive
with the other engine choices.

This striking executive home makes
an immediate impression and enjoys
an irreplaceable dress circle position
opposite Nicholson Park at the top of
Scarborough Hill. Incredibly positioned
with breathtaking 270˚ views that cannot
be built out over Sumner Beach and the
city with a backdrop of the Southern Alps
and the Kaikoura Ranges.
This spectacular level corner site was a
determining factor in the distinctive design
by acclaimed architect Alick Bellerby which
won ‘house of the year’ on completion.
Spread over a 360sqm of approximate
floor plan with generously proportioned
living areas, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and
level access to 4 car garaging.
The kitchen is the hub of the home
connecting 2 of the living rooms. Warm oak
floors and full height windows flood the
home with warmth and light and optimise
the sea views. A separate downstairs media
room is a great space for teenagers, a work
from home office space or maybe a gym.
Look out over the manicured gardens
or step outside to a private Halswell stone
courtyard and BBQ area. Here you have
the ability to host everything from intimate
dinner parties to large gatherings in a very
private and sheltered setting.
The established and easily maintained
1613sqm grounds include level lawns, rose
gardens, planted borders and offers an
enviable microclimate with total privacy.
Located between Sumner Beach and
Taylors Mistake Beach, allows plenty of
recreational pleasures such as surfing,
boating, walking and cycling right on your
doorstep. While close by in the Sumner
Village you can enjoy the cafes, restaurants,
library and boutique shops.
Sublime design, superior construction
and a prestigious location combine to make
this a compelling lifestyle offering. With
our owner now committed to Auckland
you could secure this home for immediate
possession. Present all offers.

SOVEREIGN PAGE 27
To give you a genuine swimming experience the X-Series delivers stronger
resistance and less turbulence than ordinary jetted swim spas. The design
features five jets - three on top for resistance and two underneath for lift – that
create a smooth, air-free current for superior low-impact, total-body exercise.
Need a spa that fits a narrow patio or backyard? The Sovereign is spacious
enough for 6 adults to relax in comfort and features a more rectangular shape
to fit in tighter spaces. It includes all the luxury features from the Highlife®
Collection with a lounge seat featuring our patented Moto-Massage® DX jet.
