Backlash 

leads to 

Show Day 

event 

floundering 

in Lyttelton 


A PLAN TO hold a Show Day 

party on Lyttelton’s main street 

appears to have floundered after 

a backlash from businesses and 

residents. 

Multi Events Ltd had planned 

to hold the ticketed ‘Long Lunch’ 

on London St, which would have 

seen it cordoned off from 7am to 

6pm on November 15 – one of the 

busiest trading days of the year. 

The event management company 

proposed placing a row of 

tables along the road from Oxford 

to Canterbury Sts, and hospitality 

businesses were encouraged to 

participate by creating their own 

set menu. 

However, a city council 

spokesman said the traffic 

management plan required 

to close the street has been 

withdrawn by Multi Events Ltd, 

and it has not heard from them 

since. 

The move comes after the city 

council received 26 objections to 

the planned event from businesses 

and residents.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

get in touch 

from the editor’s desk 

I’M NOT surprised there was widespread 

opposition to closing London St on Show 

Day (see page 1). 

An events company wanted to set up a 

party of sorts between Canterbury and 

Oxford streets, which would see that part 

of London St closed. 

Called the Long Lunch, hospitality businesses would have 

tables with set menus. 

Not a bad idea, but there was one big snag. 

Lyttelton bars and cafes were unhappy if they took part in the 

event with a set menu, they would not be able to sell alcohol. 

Parking too was gong to be a big problem for other businesses. 

Said SuperValue owner Rob de Their: “It made us really unhappy, 

it would have killed business. Even though there are car 

parks below us they would have been taken up.”

We’re getting ready for a busy 

tourist season in Akaroa 

Here’s what we’re doing to support the township and community 

through the busy summer tourist and cruise ship season. 

Managing traffic flows 

to improve safety and efficiency – especially when many people are 

on the move. 

Trialling changes to our traffic plans for 

cruise ship days 

such as monitoring bus idling and bus parking, and asking tour operators 

to arrive closer to pick-up times to avoid congestion. We’ll make further 

changes if needed. 

Opening new public toilets at Place de la Poste 

and installing new signage at Akaroa Wharf to direct visitors to the 

nearest facilities. 

Maintaining public spaces and parks 

including emptying litter bins in Akaroa and Little River. 

Installing six solar-powered Bigbelly rubbish bins 

at key spots around Akaroa that take five times more rubbish than 

standard bins. They have smart sensors to detect when they need 

to be emptied and some also have free public wifi. 

Distributing freedom camping information 

and we’ll also be out and about monitoring freedom 

campers throughout the summer. 

Repairing Akaroa Wharf 

so it remains open for commercial 

and recreational activities. Concept plans 

for the new wharf are being developed 

and we will be seeking public feedback 

on the designs next year.

CROWDED: About 130 residents from Sumner and nearby 

areas attended the ‘Future Sumner Community Meeting’ 

last Tuesday to hear speakers from multiple agencies give 

presentations on relevant issues. 

the village centre, evacuation 

methods, Richmond Hill 

footpath and road upgrades, 

public safety and an update on 

Linwood College were among 

the topics discussed. 

All information from the 

meeting is being collated and 

will be available on the SCRA 

Facebook page next week. 

Presentations were given by 

city councillor Sara Templeton, 

and representatives from the 

city council, police, Linwood 

College, Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade, Land Information NZ 

and SCRA on issues relevant to 

their organisation. 

Each presentation incorporated 

questions which were sent 

in by residents in the lead up to 

the meeting. 

SCRA co-ordinator Charlie 

Hudson said knowing what is of 

concern and interest to residents 

will enable the association to 

“work more effectively on the 

communities behalf.” 

“[The association] will continue 

to be involved with groups

and residents assisting with 

advocacy and communication 

support where needed,” Mrs 

Hudson said. 

City councillor Sara Templeton 

spoke on the current status 

of the Sumner Masterplan, a 

vision for the centre’s redevelopment 

which was created after the 

earthquakes and has the ability 

to be refreshed. 

Plans to have an alcohol-free 

village, especially around 

Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre 

and skate ramp, are being investigated 

and can be submitted 

to SCRA as part of the Master 

Plan refresh. 

Residents were advised that 

the best way to co-ordinate an 

emergency response to a tsunami 

was at a community level 

with the help of the city council 

on how to investigate, establish 

and communicate local emergency 

response advice. 

Sumner Volunteer Fire brigade 

chief officer Daryl Sayer offered 

evacuation advice, which was for 

those in cars to proceed as far as 

up the hill roads as possible to 

avoid congestion and to organise 

a plan to stay with friends if 

possible. 

Senior Sergeant Roy Appley 

spoke about how police are 

working in communities 

across Christchurch, including 

Sumner. 

He said Sumner has relatively 

low numbers of burglaries and 

domestic harm compared to the 

rest of the city and encouraged 

residents to report everything to 

police.

In Brief 

WATERMAIN RENEWAL 

Work on a watermain renewal 

on Libeau Lane, Akaroa, will 

start on Monday and will 

last for seven weeks. The 

existing system has reached 

the end of its life and requires 

replacing. Contractors will be 

on-site from 7.30am to 5pm 

Monday to Friday. There may 

be times when vehicle access 

to properties is restricted, 

however, contractors will 

door-knock beforehand so 

residents can move vehicles 

if necessary. The work may 

also result in increased dust, 

noise and vibration. For more

Last week Bay Harbour News 

reported that a playground 

was due for a refresh at Radley 

Park, which is on Riley Cres in 

Woolston. However, it is Radley 

Playground, on Radley St, 

which is set to receive upgrades. 

Public consultation is open 

on the playground’s renewal 

until November 6. To have

Plan to close London St withdrawn

The objections raised 

concerns over the potential 

loss of income for shops, a 

lack of access and parking 

for residents and issues 

with noise. 

Some businesses were 

also unhappy because 

there would have been

Lyttelton 

Harbour Business 

Association chairwoman 

Vicki Tahau-Paton said a 

meeting was held several 

months ago between 

businesses and Multi Events 

Ltd to discuss the proposed 

event. 

She said business owners 

supported the concept but 

wanted the ‘Long Lunch’ to 

be held on another day. 

However, Multi Events 

Ltd still went ahead with 

its application to hold the

event on November 15. 

Ms Tahau-Paton said the 

company did not contact 

the businesses which would 

have been impacted by 

the event and did not tell 

them it was still planning 

to hold it on November 15. 

Instead business owners 

and residents learned 

about Multi Events Ltd’s 

application in a newspaper 

notice on October 7. 

When Ms Tahau-Paton 

posted the city council 

notice to the Lyttelton 

Facebook group, many 

business owners and 

residents said it was the first 

time they had heard the 

planned event was still set 

to go ahead. 

“The idea is great, but at 

one of the busiest times of 

the year, it’s just unfair,” Ms 

Tahau-Paton said. 

The notice said people 

had until October 15 to 

email their objections to 

the city council, which 

were passed onto the event 

organiser. 

However, the city council 

spokesman told Bay 

Harbour News it was the 

responsibility of the event 

applicant to decide whether 

to consult with businesses 

and people who may be 

affected by the event. 

Ms Tahau-Paton said she 

visited 90 per

sector, told

have been “devastating” 

for his business. “It made 

us really unhappy, it would 

have killed business. Even 

though there are car parks 

below us, they would have 

been taken up.”

TRICKY: The Redcliffs Residents’ Association is trying to figure 

out the best way to remove rocks which have come to the 

surface at Clifton Beach near Shag Rock. 

No history of beach rocks 


A WELL-KNOWN Redcliffs 

historian is disputing claims that 

piles of small rocks are natural 

to the beach near Shag 

Rock. 

Two weeks ago Bay 

Harbour News revealed 

debris has come to the 

sand’s surface following 

the construction of the 

Coastal Pathway, which 

caused concerns for the 

Redcliffs Residents’ Association. 

City council delivery transport 

manager Lynette Ellis said it will 

not be removed as it is “naturally 

occurring.” 

However, Sumner Redcliffs 

Historical Society honorary 

secretary Topsy Rule has 

checked old photos and records 

Topsy Rule 

at Matuku Takotako: Sumner 

Centre’s museum and stones did 

not appear anywhere. 

Mrs Rule has lived between 

Sumner and Redcliffs for the 

past 80 years and has 

never seen rocks at the 

beach. However, she said 

they may have formed 

after the original tram 

embankment in 1916 

before being washed out or 

covered by sand. 

Meanwhile, RRA 

secretary Pat McIntosh said 

members are still trying to figure 

out the best way to remove the 

rocks before the rocks spread 

and the task becomes too hard. 

THe Redcliffs Residents’ 

Association is concerned that 

the amenity of the sandy beach 

has been affected by the debris. 

Tram shelter deemed unsafe 


A HISTORIC quake-damaged 

tram shelter in Sumner has 

become a safety hazard – but the 

city council has no money to fix 

it. 

Council staff will consult with 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board and other 

interested parties over whether to 

remove or repair the 97-year-old 

tram shelter. 

Depending on the option 

chosen, funding will need to be 

requested for the work in the 

next Long Term Plan. 

The structure has continued to 

degrade since the earthquakes 

and has become unsafe. 

Resident Alisdair Hutchison 

has concerns over a big rock 

which has been sitting on the 

cliff near the shelter after it fell 

two years ago. 

He is also concerned about the 

roof, which is in danger of falling 

as one of the concrete beams 

holding it up is sitting half off its 

pillar. 

“It’s an absolutely life-threatening 

situation,” Mr Hutchison 

said. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member Darrell 

Latham sent a request to the 

city council on August 1 asking 

for information on when the 

tram shelter would be fixed on 

REPAIRS

shelter has 

deteriorated 

since it was 

damaged by 

earthquakes. 

behalf of Mr Hutchison. 

A response said the tram shelter 

would be assessed and fixed 

by August 15. 

However, while vegetation has 

been cleared away and the fence 

was removed for a short period, 

Mr Hutchison has not seen any 

repairs to the damage. 

A city council spokesperson 

said the tram shelter has been 

fenced off to prevent access, 

limiting risk to the public and 

residents. 

But Mr Hutchison said it 

would be better to have the 

shelter repaired as the fence was 

an “unwelcome reminder of the 

earthquakes.” 

However, the city council 

spokesperson said staff will have 

to consider, in consultation with 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board and other 

interested parties, whether to remove 

or repair the tram shelter. 

Said Dr Latham: “The tram 

shelter is a delightful and historical 

reminder of a bygone era and 

should be retained.” 

Meanwhile, the Moncks Bay 

Tram Shelter has still not been 

repaired. 

City council manager of transport 

operations Steffan Thomas 

told Bay Harbour News in April 

the 85-year-old structure was 

expected to be open before the 

end of September. 

However, Redcliffs Residents’ 

Association chairwoman 

Christine Toner said it had 

not been fixed and was still 

surrounded in fencing.

Young entrepreneurs make

The group also won the 

opportunity to present JELF at

on December 4. 

Finn said the members put 

their heads together at the start of 

the year in a bid to invent a new

studies 

project. 

He said as 

they discussed 

their ideas,

However, 

it ended up 

being the 

laminated paper itself which 

sparked their product idea. 

The awards were held at Ara, 

where the finalists pitched their 

ideas in front of a panel of judges 

and fought for the title. 

There were 132 teams entered 

in the competition, which was 

narrowed down to six finalists. 

Along with the top award, JELF 

also won the Powell Fenwick YES 

Regional Excellence Award for 

Sustainability. 

Finn said the accolades felt

Victoria University next year but 

said he will continue to focus on

his teammates. 

“At the moment we haven’t

The group is also looking to 

create other products such as

UPGRADES: Akaroa Community and School Library will be 

closed for four weeks from November 18 while improvements 

are made to the building. 

Repairs planned for library 

THE AKAROA Community 

and School Library will soon 

be closed for repairs and 

refurbishment. 

The building at 2 Selwyn Ave 

will be closed for about four 

weeks from November 18, while 

work is done to modify the 

library’s layout and improve its 

energy efficiency. 

City council head of 

libraries and information 

Carolyn Robertson said the 

improvements are aimed at 

making the library a more 

comfortable space for both 

customers and library staff. 

“Because the library is only 

going to be shut for about four 

weeks we have made the decision 

not to set up temporary 

library facilities in Akaroa. 

Instead, we are encouraging 

library members to borrow a 

month’s load of items before the 

library closes. 

“While the library is closed, 

customers will be able to return 

borrowed items to the Service 

Centre in Akaroa. They will 

also still be able to access our 

full range of digital resources 

including e-books, e-magazines, 

and digital newspapers,’’ Ms 

Robertson said. 

It is expected the Akaroa 

Community and School Library 

will reopen to the public on 

December 16. 

During the library’s closure, 

the nearest libraries for Akaroa 

residents will be Little River 

Library and Te Hapua: Halswell 

Centre.

Rare bird 

spotted near 

Birdlings Flat 

A TINY and very rare Arctic 

wader has been spotted near 

Birdlings Flat. 

It was one of just five recorded 

sightings of the bird ever in New 

Zealand. 

The little stint or calidris 

minutus (above), which is 

smaller than a sparrow, was seen 

at Kaitorete Spit by Keystone 

Ecology ornithologist Niall 

Mugan. 

City council ornithologist 

Andrew Crossland said the 

unusual sighting is a case of 

“migration overshoot” and the 

bird is about 12,000km from 

home. 

“This sighting is pretty awesome 

and it really cements the 

legend of Lake Ellesmere in the 

ornithological world. It’s such an 

amazing place for wildlife.” 

Mr Crossland said Lake 

Ellesmere is one of New 

Zealand’s most important sites 

for migratory birds from Siberia 

and Alaska. 

Timeball light designer recognised 


KEVIN CAWLEY designed the 

lights at Lyttelton’s Timeball 

Station to make an iconic 

structure become a beacon of 

pride to the community at night. 

And now, the lighting designer 

has been recognised for his work 

with two awards 

of excellence at 

the Illumination 

Engineering 

Society lighting 

awards on 

October 18. 

After 5pm every 

Kevin 

Cawley 

night, a “shaft of 

light” accentuates 

the difference 

between the two types of stone 

on the 143-year-old structure, 

which is one of five working 

timeballs in the world. 

Mr Cawley who took on the 

lighting project after being 

asked by Heritage New Zealand 

director for the southern region 

Sheila Watson. 

His aim was to “respect the 

architectural integrity of the 

tower and enhance the beauty of 

the structure by night.” 

At the awards, Mr Cawley 

received one award from 

IES and one from the Royal 

Astronomical Society of NZ 

for efficiently, effectively, 

sustainably protecting the night 

environment. 

“I was stoked. I felt extremely 

proud,” he said. 

Built in 1876 to a design by 

architect Thomas Cane, the 

timeball signalled the correct 

time for ships in Lyttelton 

Harbour until 1934. 

THe reconstruction of 

the station after it was 

destroyed in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake was completed 

in October last year. 

Mr Cawley has lit up some 

of Christchurch’s most iconic 

buildings, including the 

Isaac Theatre Royal and the 

Christchurch Casino.

Back to swimming after a long absence 

YOU KNOW how I said I missed 

the whole co-sleeping thing? 

Well on Tuesday I woke up 

to Vittoria breaking the laws of 

physics by putting her entire body 

weight onto my face through her 

face while lying down. She was also 

singing in my ear. 

It was way too early to make 

me miss waking up like that. No 

amount of adorable singing is 

enjoyable before sunrise. 

Laura flat out denied inserting 

a toddler between us, so I have no 

idea how she got into that position 

either. I’m not sure if I was woken 

up earlier and grabbed her into bed 

to settle her, if she jumped up on 

her own accord or if she has actually 

mutated the ability to teleport. 

Hell, can you imagine if it was 

the last one? Absolute nightmare. 

Beyond face-based wrestling 

moves, we finally started back to 

swim classes last week. 

It’d been three months since Vittoria 

had last been in a pool, so I 

was worried her water confidence 

would have waned. 

My ability to handle washing, 

drying and dressing both myself 

and a much less cooperative toddler 

post-swim was also in question 

(mostly in my head). Fortunately 

Laura had the day off so I had both 

change-time support and a photographer 

on call. 

Concerns around (Vittoria’s) confidence 

disappeared as soon as the 

water hit her face and she cracked a 

massive smile. It was like she’d not 

missed a whole term and she aced 

each activity. She even remembered 

the actions to the Aquagym class 

song better than me. 

The only thing I thought had 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

slipped was remembering to kick 

her legs when she did the activities 

designed to introduce her to swimming 

techniques, but she improved 

during the class. 

Unfortunately, time away hadn’t 

dulled her dislike of swimming on 

her back and it still held the same 

risk of being uppercut, hair pulled 

or getting fingers up your nose. 

Of course, her favourite thing is 

to jump off the foam mat into the 

pool, it remained top of the list. 

Hopefully this week the smooth 

sailing continues in the pool. 

Especially as Laura will be working 

and I’ll be having to address my 

concerns for my post swim admin 

ability. 

SMOOTH 

SAILING: 

Big smiles 

being back 

in the pool 

together.

Sculpture unveiled in Teddington 


A DISAPPEARING dress on a 

dissolving staircase at Loudon 

Farm in Teddington explores life 

and the unknown future. 

Sculptor Anna Korver has 

finished her artwork on the 

farm in preparation for the 

South Island’s largest sculpture 

exhibition, Sculpture on the 

Peninsula, which runs from 

November 8-10. 

Korver set off from her studio 

in Taranaki with a dismantled 

steel staircase in the back of her 

van, with plans to incorporate it 

into the Banks Peninsula piece. 

She has participated in the 

exhibition before but this time 

she has been developing the 

staircase theme over several 

years. 

“Disappearing Dress on a 

Dissolving Staircase is part of 

a series of works that focus on 

an undefined endpoint we are 

heading towards,” she said. 

“It has been a theme in my 

work for a long time.” 

Recently back in New Zealand 

after completing a public 

commission in Slovenia, Korver’s 

work features in galleries and 

private and public collections 

around the world. 

She is one of 70 artists involved 

in Sculpture on the Peninsula, 

which is held every two years to 

raise money for Cholmondeley

Cold Storage 

by David Koepp 

When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate 

a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly 

mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. Now, after decades 

of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out 

and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. And only Diaz knows how to stop it. He 

races across the country to help two unwitting security guards – 

one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing 

night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine 

this horror again . . . before it’s too late,

The Sequel To PS, I Love You 

by Cecelia Ahern 

The long-awaited sequel to the international bestseller PS, I Love You! It’s 

been seven years since Holly Kennedy’s husband died - six since she read 

his final letter, urging Holly to find the courage to forge a new life. She’s 

proud of all the ways in which she has grown and evolved. But when a 

group inspired by Gerry’s letters, calling themselves the PS, I Love You 

Club, approaches Holly asking for help, she finds herself drawn back into 

a world that she worked so hard to leave behind. Reluctantly, Holly begins 

a relationship with the club, even as their friendship threatens to destroy the 

peace she believes she has achieved. As each of these people calls upon 

Holly to help them leave something meaningful behind for their loved ones, 

Holly will embark on a remarkable journey - one that will challenge her to 

ask whether embracing the future means betraying the past, and what it 

means to love someone forever....

HARD WORK has paid off 

for Redcliffs resident Shaun 

Halliwell, owner of Merivale’s 

No.4 Restaurant and Bar. 

The business was named number 

one at the Hospitality New 

Zealand Awards for Excellence 

last week. 

The restaurant now holds the 

title of ‘best neighbourhood bar 

and eatery.’ 

Mr Halliwell said it wasn’t the 

first award the business has won, 

but it was the first of such a high 

magnitude. 

“Since we opened No.4 in 

2006, real hospitality has been at 

the centre of everything we do. 

We look after our team, and they, 

in turn, stick around, often for 

many years and look after our 

customers. Some of them even 

recall individual loyalty card 

numbers,” he said. 

Mr Halliwell said the award is

Award for restaurant owner 

great recognition of all the hard 

work his staff put into their work. 

“They do a great job, they work 

incredibly hard,” he said. 

He thought the reason behind 

the businesses success is that 

its spaces cater to a range of 

occasions. 

“We can have a rowdy party 

going on in the bar, live music 

outside, and a formal dinner 

in the library, and everybody’s 

happy,” Mr Halliwell said. 

He submitted an application 

to Hospitality New Zealand to 

be entered in the running for the 

award and was pleased with the 

result. 

Head chef Ian Mulling – who 

has been with the No.4 team 

since it ran the Clarendon 

Restaurant on Oxford Tce which 

was destroyed in the earthquakes 

– accepted the award on behalf 

of the team at a ceremony in 

Hawke’s Bay.

Tasty Bites 

Dishes of the world 

These sweet and savoury treats from Russia and Japan are quick to prepare 

and very adaptable 

Russian apple cake 

Serves 8-10 

Ingredients 

6 large apples (granny smiths are 

perfect for this) 

3 large good-quality eggs, at 

room temperature 

1 cup sugar 

1 tsp vanilla 

1 cup flour 

Pinch cinnamon 

Directions 

Grease an 18cm round cake 

tin with removable bottom. Line 

with greaseproof paper. 

Prepare the apples by peeling 

and removing core. Cut the 

apples into small chunks and 

place directly into prepared cake 

tin. 

Using an electric mixer, whisk 

the eggs with the sugar and 

vanilla until thick and airy and 

ribbons form on the surface. 

Sift in the flour and fold 

through until just combined. 

Pour over the apples – the egg 

mixture should end up level with 

the apples. Bake in a pre-heated 

oven for 40-45min or until a 

skewer comes out clean. Cool for

Makes 4 large or 8 small 

Ingredients 

½ small cabbage, very thinly 

sliced 

4 carrots, julienned or sliced as 

thinly as possible 

½ red onion, sliced thinly 

4 leaves kale, cavolo nero, stalks 

removed and sliced very thin 

1 tsp salt 

6 eggs, lightly beaten 

½ cup flour or rice flour 

Oil for frying 

To serve 

2 spring onions, sliced thinly 

Japanese mayonnaise 

Okonomiyaki sauce 

Directions 

Toss all the prepared vegetables 

and salt together in a large bowl. 

Mix through the eggs and flour 

until evenly combined. 

Heat a large fry pan on 

medium-high heat. Coat the 

bottom of the fry pan with oil. 

When hot, add pancake 

mixture. 

Make either four large or eight 

small. These pancakes should 

be thick (½cm) and full of 

vegetables.

Carefully flip and continue 

cooking until golden on the other 

side. When cooked, remove and 

keep warm. Serve with sauces 

squiggled over the top and 

sprinkle with spring onions. 

Optional toppings are pork 

belly slices or shrimps.

Boot goes into exciting Mazda 3 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

IT’S TOO early to be talking 

about the 2019 New Zealand 

Motoring Writer’s Guild Car of 

the Year award, the nominations 

have only just been released and 

judging won’t take place until 

December. 

However, I’m pleased to say 

the new Mazda3 is on the list of 

finalists. I say this because the 

latest generation model has made 

quite an impact on me, it is one 

very fine vehicle. 

Effectively, I’ve driven three 

models back-to-back, two hatches 

and a sedan, and each stands out 

as being competent, quality built, 

efficient and purposeful, what’s 

more it’s such a darn nice car to 

drive and to be in. 

I’ve mentioned many times 

in these columns how I’m very 

much a sedan buyer and although 

I’ve owned hatches and liftbacks 

over the years, I’m always drawn 

to the traditional concept. 

This evaluation surrounds 

the Mazda3 sedan, and it would 

be the car for me if I had funds 

to buy new in today’s market. 

I would settle for the entry 

level GSX at $36,595, but the 

evaluation car – a Limited at 

$48,795 – is a model which 

borders on the luxury car class 

for just a fraction of the cost. 

As opposed to the GSX with 

its 2-litre engine, the GTX and 

Limited both get a 2.5-litre 

four-cylinder engine. Each has 

its merits, and both deliver 

outstanding performance. 

The 2.5 is rated at 139kW and 

252Nm, although the outputs 

are reached a little tall in the rev 

band at 6000rpm and 4000rpm 

respectively, the management 

protocols are structured so that 

effective torque is spread broadly. 

Drive is carried to the front 

wheels through a traditional sixspeed 

automatic transmission. 

In limited form the driver has 

the use of paddle shifters should 

he or she want to get involved in 

the gearchange process. Shifts are 

smooth and satisfactorily quick, 

the engine has no trouble filling 

the gaps between gears but with 

six cogs the ratios are quite close, 

so there are no surprises there. 

The gearing is also structured 

so that the engine isn’t loaded 

at highway speed, at 100km/h it 

is turning over at just 1900rpm, 

quite relaxed and sipping fuel 

at the instantaneous rate of 

5.5-litres per 100km (51mpg). 

That contributes to the efficient 

7.6l/100km (37mpg) dash panel 

MAZDA3 LIMITED SEDAN: Increase in boot space. 

average during my time with the 

evaluation car. Mazda claims 

a combined cycle average of 

6.5l/100km (44mpg), which 

correlates well with my figures. 

In terms of figures, the new 3 

also has a good turn of speed, 

it’s no rocket, but with an 8.8sec 

time to make 100km/h from a 

standstill, it easily keeps pace 

with traffic and disgraces cars 

with a far higher pedigree. A lot 

of that can be attributed to its 

relative lightweight, at 1388kg, it’s 

not burdened, and is a tribute to 

the Mazda engineers who, early 

in the company’s manufacturing 

process, realised how important it 

is to build cars minimising weight 

in all components. 

That also has a beneficial effect 

on handling. The Mazda3 is tight 

and composed when presented 

with quick corners. I took the 

test car on a short hilly burst and 

enjoyed its directional accuracy 

and stability. Saying that, the new 

model doesn’t have the benefit 

of four-wheel independent 

suspension, there are struts up 

front, but the rear is a torsion 

beam-type linking the two rear 

wheels. Nevertheless, I’m yet to 

find a reason why I don’t like it, 

there is solid direction control in 

a corner, and comfort levels are 

far from compromised. 

If today’s new car buyer isn’t 

hell-bent on buying a sports utility 

vehicle, then the next option would 

generally be a hatch or liftback. 

That being the case, the Mazda3 

sedan would probably be a final 

choice for many. However, it’s there 

for those like me who are drawn to 

having good boot space. Yes, the 

load space in the Mazda3 sedan 

is deep and cavernous – 444-litres 

of cargo can be carried there. That 

compares to 295-litres of the hatch 

with the rear seats upright. 

There’s no compromise in 

styling; while the hatchback 

is bold and daring around the 

C-pillar, the sedan is a little more 

conservative, but it still looks 

• Price – Mazda3 Limited 

sedan, $48,795 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4460mm; width, 1795mm; 

height, 1440mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheel-drive, 

2488cc, 139kW, 252Nm, 

six-speed automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.5l/100km 

smart and desirable. 

Limited specification is Mazda’s 

high grade variant, and it misses 

out on nothing. All the traditional 

items are fitted including the latest 

generation i-Activesense suite 

of safety technologies, safety has 

reached a new pinnacle in modern 

cars, and Mazda’s inclusions are 

first class and uncompromised. 

It easily meets the five-star 

Australasian New Car Assessment 

Program criteria. 

It’s been a big year for Mazda 

New Zealand, it has launched 

a raft of new models and I’ve 

evaluated all of those. 

Each stands out for varying 

reasons but the one thing 

common to all is the involvement 

and enjoyment that can be 

gleaned from being in the 

company’s line-up. It is indicative 

of the passion it has for making 

engaging, mainstream cars that 

punch well above their weight 

in terms of where they sit in the 

market.
