Demand for homes pushes 

up peninsula property values 

• By Jess Gibson 

PROPERTY VALUES have shot 

up across the Bay Harbour News 

area, with Akaroa receiving the 

highest increase. 

New figures released by 

Quotable Value show the average 

change in capital value across 

Banks Peninsula has risen 9.7 per 

cent from 2016, based on market 

sales from August 1. 

It showed properties in Akaroa 

have jumped 

14.1 per cent, 

sitting at an 

average value of 

$686,600. 

Akaroa-based 

Bayleys salesman 

Rob Berry 

Rob Berry said 

he has noticed 

a “dramatic increase” in the 

demand for homes and baches 

compared to this time last 

year. 

“We’ve been getting up to 

eight or nine bidders at 

auctions, whereas a year ago 

we would be lucky to get one or 

two,” he said. 

He said he has been getting 

about $100,000 more for the average, 

mid-range Akaroa property 

than a year ago. 

“There is a serious interest in 

everything we list right now. A 

lot of listings used to pass but we 

have sold everything under the 

hammer this year with only one 

exception.” 

However, he said the jump 

was not surprising, as it “had 

to happen” at some point 

following the global financial 

crisis in 2008, which left a lot 

of waterfront property markets 

flatlining. 

In Lyttelton, an increase of five 

per cent has bought properties up 

to an average of $542,200, while 

its bays have risen slightly more 

at 5.3 per cent, now averaging at 

$571,100 a property.

GOOD NEWS in many ways for property 

owners across Banks Peninsula and 

suburbs on the flat (see page 1). 

Property values have increased across the 

board after a lull for quite some time postearthquakes. 

Akaroa has had a big jump, 14.1 per cent, the largest of any 

area across the Banks Peninsula/Christchurch rating area. 

THe average property is now valued at $686,600. 

Said Bayleys salesman Rob Berry: “We’ve been getting up to 

eight or nine bidders at auctions, whereas a year ago we would 

be lucky to get one or two.” 

Mid-range Akaroa properties are now fetching $100,000 more 

than they did a year ago. 

But of course there is a downside to higher property values – 

what you pay for rates.

Extra time needed for clock tower 

REPAIRS TO the Scarborough 

clock tower will take longer than 

expected. 

While contractors have been 

working on the restoration of 

the historic structure, they have 

found the concrete is in a worse 

condition than initial engineering 

investigations suggested. 

Restoration work was meant to 

be completed in January but will 

now continue until February. 

Sumner Community Residents’ 

Association coordinator Charlie 

Hudson said the group would 

have loved for the repairs to be 

finished sooner, however, she 

does understand they have to do 

them properly. 

“It’s a heritage building and 

with that comes complications.” 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said more 

extensive testing has revealed the 

need for extra repairs to the clock 

tower, as well as New Brighton’s 

clock tower. 

The landmark along the esplanade, 

which dates back to the 

1930s, has been fenced since early 

last year. 

It suffered structural damage 

during the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. 

Moisture from the elements 

and decades of exposure to 

a harsh coastal environment 

has penetrated these areas and 

caused significant corrosion to

ROAD WIDENING STARTED 

The intersection of Sumner 

and Evans Pass roads is being 

widened to allow more room 

for large vehicles. The work, 

which includes line marking 

and bollard relocation, started 

yesterday and is expected to 

last until next Thursday. Hours 

of work are between 7am and 

6pm. For more information visit

WHARF REPAIRS 

The Diamond Harbour Wharf 

will be partially closed until 

December 20 to allow the 

installation of two piles and a new 

timber brace below the waterline. 

The two piles were identified as 

rotting at the seabed in a recent 

dive inspection. Work will not 

affect the functionality of the 

wharf and the ferry will run as 

normal, although it may dock on 

the northern stairs temporarily. 

PLAYGROUND UPGRADES

• HAVE YOUR SAY: How do these valuation changes affect you? Email your thoughts to jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi 

Buyers compete for limited stock 

• From page 1 

Residential property values 

across the city and Banks Peninsula 

had risen an average of 

about one per cent since the last 

district revaluation in 2016. 

In contrast to the increases 

seen across the Bay Harbour 

area, property valuations in 

some inner-city suburbs like 

Upper Riccarton and Sockburn 

decreased as much as seven per 

cent. 

Quotable Value general manager 

David Nagel said the 2019 

revaluation changes have created 

“somewhat of a rebalancing of 

the residential market. 

He said following the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

there was a lot of demand for 

“safe” homes in Sockburn and 

Upper Riccarton, with buyers 

competing for limited stock, 

forcing prices up. 

But that demand had now 

dropped as house hunters went 

elsewhere. 

The new values will apply to 

rates from July 1. 

They do not affect the total 

rates collected by the city 

council, which are yet to be set 

through the Annual Plan, but 

they do influence how much of 

the total is collected from each 

ratepayer. 

Residents have until January 

24 to object to new property 

values. 

MID-RANGE: A listing on L’Aube Reserve, Akaroa, is going for 

$36,000 below the average property value of $686,600. It 

has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 960 sq m of land 

area. 

BALANCE: A four-bedroom property in Diamond Harbour is 

selling for $590,000, which is more than the average price of 

$571,100 for a home in the area.

Genevieve 

Robinson 

THE BANKS Peninsula 

Community Board has become 

involved in the saga over piledriving 

in Lyttelton Harbour 

and hector’s dolphins. 

Members want to know 

whether more can be done to 

ensure the endangered species 

are protected while Lyttelton 

Port Company builds its new 

cruise berth. 

A letter 

will be sent 

to Minister of 

Conservation 

Eugenie Sage 

and Environment 

Canterbury 

this 

week to bring 

concerns to 

their attention and to question 

the procedures being followed 

during operations. 

It comes following a presentation 

by Genevieve Robinson 

of Māui and Hector’s Dolphin 

Defenders, who spoke to the 

community board on behalf of 

concerned residents at its most 

recent meeting. 

Ms Robinson addressed 

increased sightings of dolphins 

in the inner harbour and 

the risk of them either being 

trapped for the duration of the 

piling or risking re-exposure 

to piling noise while trying to 

exit. 

Said community board chairwoman 

Tori Peden: “We are 

advocating to the minister and 

ECan to make sure things are 

being taken care of. We want to 

make sure that the processes are 

being followed.” 

“[The dolphins] are very special 

to Banks Peninsula 

and someone needs to look 

out for them. That is what 

Genevieve is asking us for and 

that’s why we are forwarding her 

concerns.” 

Ms Robinson remains unconvinced 

a 25-page Marine 

Mammal Management Plan 

developed by LPC, Cawthron 


News 

Further concerns for dolphins’ safety 

Institute, Blue Planet Marine 

and the Department of Conservation 

is adequately protecting 

the dolphins. 

The plan includes having a 

monitored 450m marine mammal 

observation zone that if 

a dolphin enters, piling shuts 

down to allow dolphins time to 

evacuate the harbour when work 

starts. 

The zone extends southwards 

into the harbour but does not 

include the inner harbour. 

Ms Robinson believes LPC 

should extend its MMOZ zone 

until the end of piling, which 

is estimated to be completed in 

about two weeks. 

However, LPC has maintained

its stance 450m zone is sufficient. 

Said strategic engagement 

manager Phil de Joux: “The 

location and extent of the zone 

is based on hectors’ dolphin’s 

sensitivity to noise and modelled 

underwater noise levels caused 

by piling. This modelling 

showed a zone of 450m was required 

for the main wharf piling 

at the cruise berth.” 

Ms Robinson has requested 

a list of dolphin sightings, 

including during active piling, 

within the shutdown zone and 

validation of LPC’s modelling. 

Her requests have been 

forwarded to LPC by the 

community board.

Two injured 

on Purau 

walking track 


PAGE 5 

THE DIAMOND Harbour 

Volunteer Fire Brigade was called 

out to two incidents near Purau 

on Friday and Saturday after 

people had fallen on the same 

walking track. 

Chief fire officer Bob Palmer 

said a woman in her 60s had to 

be carried out of the track from 

Diamond Harbour to Purau on 

a stretcher at about noon on 

Friday after fracturing her leg and 

ankle. 

He said she had been there for 

about two hours before other 

walkers found her and called the 

brigade. 

On Saturday, a 25-year-old 

woman who had injured her leg at 

about 5.30pm was also carried out 

on a stretcher. 

Both incidents happened at 

similar locations on the track 

which is narrow and has a lot of 

thistles. 

Mr Palmer said the first 

callout was a good example of 

why people should always take 

a cellphone while walking on 

offroad tracks, as well as fluids 

and food.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT is being 

made make Lyttelton safer. 

Vicki Tahau-Paton is trying 

to expand the harbour’s 

Neighbourhood Support group 

to help ward off boy racers and 

other offenders, which have been 

of ongoing 

concern for 

residents. 

The policealigned 

organisation 

aims 

to create a 

well-connected 

community 

which helps to 

improve the 

safety, resilience and well-being 

of residents. 

There are currently 14 out of 

59 streets involved in Neighbourhood 

Support in the harbour, 

and 27 individuals. 

To compare, in Parklands 

there are 49 streets, consisting of 

299 individuals and the Kirsten 

Pl group has 78 households. 

Ms Tahau-Paton said she 

wants to get at least one person 

from each street in Lyttelton on 

board with the group. 

It is one of several efforts 

which residents have taken in 

response to claims of a lack of 

policing in and around Lyttelton.

SECURITY: An attempt is being made to lower crime in 

Lyttelton. 

Private security company 

Tactical Response Team was 

running free night patrols in 

and around the harbour until 

November 19. 

However, director Shannon 

Mudge shut them down as he 

felt their resources were no 

longer required. 

Part of the reason was that 

one of Community Patrols 

of New Zealand’s vehicles 

would soon be stationed in 

Lyttelton – another attempt to 

lower crime. 

The patrol is currently seeking 

volunteers. 

People who join Neighbourhood 

Support would receive 

emails and alerts with news 

from community partners, 

including CPNZ and police. 

They would also gain tips 

and resources to improve their 

household and neighbourhood 

safety and learn how to be better 

prepared for emergencies. 

A “contact tree” would be 

set up on participating streets, 

which provides residents with a

that’s got a neighbourhood 

support sign and stickers 

they better think again’

list of nearby occupants to call 

or text during an event to notify 

them it is happening. 

“Rest assured if a criminal 

wants to go down a street that’s 

got a neighbourhood support 

sign and stickers, they better 

think again,” said Ms Tahau- 

Paton. 

Neighbourhood Support 

regional manager Murray Mc- 

Gusty said statistics show that in 

areas with “effective neighbourhood 

support groups, reported 

crime rates were shown to be 

substantially lower.” 

Senior Sergeant Roy Appley 

said police were supportive of 

the action. 

“It’s communities getting 

involved in their own safety and 

that’s always a good thing.” 

Senior Sergeant Appley does 

not think crime is any worse in 

Lyttelton. 

He said while there are issues 

which happen from time to 

time, particularly damage or 

theft involving cars parked on 

the road, incidents have not 

increased. 

Call for surfers 

to wear 

board leashes 

endorsed 

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury’s 

deputy harbourmaster Guy Harris 

has endorsed a call for surfers to 

wear leashes on their boards this 

summer. 

It comes after a Bay Harbour 

News article on November 20 

about a head injury nine-year-old 

Ryder Townshend received when 

a surfer’s board came loose and 

crashed down on him. 

“It is part of the global ‘Surfers’ 

code’ and is mandatory in many 

parts of the world. Whilst it is a 

requirement of the Canterbury 

Navigation and Safety Bylaw that 

stand-up paddleboards wear a 

leash whilst surfing, it currently 

is not for surfers, as it is generally 

felt that it’s so obviously a good 

idea that it doesn’t need to be 

explicitly stated.” 

After nearly 40 years of surfing, 

some of the most serious incidents 

he has come across have been due 

to surfboards hitting people. 

“Leashes are cheap, hardly 

noticeable when worn and have 

practically zero effect on your 

surfing – perhaps other than to 

give you some confidence that 

you won’t lose your board and 

potentially ruin someone’s day – 

or even their life.”

Marina hosts historic vessel fleet 

A FLEET of historic vessels assembled 

at Lyttelton’s Te Ana Marina to celebrate 

250 years since the first onshore 

meetings between Māori and Pākehā. 

The Fa’afaite, Haunui, Ngahiraka 

Mai Tāwhiti wakas and the Spirit 

of New Zealand were hosted in the 

harbour for Tuia 250 on Saturday and 

Sunday. 

The crew was hosted overnight by 

Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata, before 

a pōwhiri at Rāpaki that officially 

started the proceedings. 

During the event, the Tuia 

Mātauranga Roadshow provided an 

interactive experience focusing on 

Pacific voyaging and New Zealand 

histories and gave the public a chance 

to meet with crew and Ngāi Tahu 

members.

Further feedback on Peninsula names 

Readers respond to the 

plan to add Maori names 

to locations on Banks 

Peninsula 

Donald Couch, Rāpaki: 

It is unfortunate that the 

original article on Whakaraupō/ 

Lyttelton Harbour place names 

proposal did not explain the 

background or put the suggestion 

in context. 

There is a detailed and specific 

process to make placenames 

in New Zealand legal. We have 

been behind in being aware of 

and getting onto this for Māori 

placenames. 

If the New Zealand Geographical 

Board approves the proposal 

regarding formalising 11 of these 

names, the Pakeha names currently 

in use will remain for 

continued use by those who 

prefer them. 

May I respond briefly to the 

responders (Bay Harbour News) 

of December 4. 

To Ray O’Rourke, your ancestors’ 

placenames and heritage 

will not change – they remain. 

We will simply have our heritage 

and our ancestors equally 

recognised. 

To Costa Harris, we had never 

looked at our proposal in your 

terms of ‘white guilt’ and ‘colonialism’. 

It has everything to do 

with current and future generations 

who will continue to live in, 

DIVIDED: Readers have expressed mixed views on a proposal 

to add Maori names to 13 existing Banks Peninsula places 

including Dyers Pass, which could soon also be known as 

Pukeatua 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

or associate with, Te Rāpaki o te 

Rakiwhakaputa. 

To Ken Duncan, the proposed 

Ōmawete is in recognition of a 

Ngāti Māmoe rangatira Māwete. 

To Hilary Anderson, the 

existing names (in English) will 

indeed remain as they are. 

To Lynne Clark, yes, we belong 

to the other party who signed 

the Treaty of Waitangi which 

recognised us at the time as ‘British 

subjects’ (now NZ citizens). 

As such, we also have some rights 

under NZ law including those 

covering placenames. 

To Murray Stuart, these are not 

new names – they are actually 

older than those currently in use. 

To Wal Remu, we haven’t made 

any suggestions regarding the 

Sign of the Kiwi. 

We would be happy to discuss 

the proposal further and seek the 

support of those who regard this 

as a positive development for our 

communities. 

Norma Powell: 

I wish to endorse every letter 

in the last issue. The trouble with 

Maori names is that you have no 

idea where the place is. Maori 

folk can enjoy speaking their language 

amongst themselves but we 

are an English speaking nation so 

please let us have names that are 

relevant to the majority. 

In reply to your correspondent 

from Heathcote, a year ago 

I had a theft from my garden 

and although I knew who the 

culprit was the Police were not 

interested. I was told it has been 

recorded. 

Ron Williams: 

I agree with all those writers 

opposed to changing current 

European names to Maori 

names. Maori only have a written 

language because the English 

settlers gave them one. I am sure 

when Maori arrived and slaughtered 

the Mori Ori, (driving the 

survivors to what is now known 

as the Chatham Islands) they 

didn’t consider their rights. 

Jane Robertson & Russ Harris: 

We live in Whakaraupō/Lyttelton 

Harbour and look out across 

Kaitangata/Mansons Peninsula 

to Te Ahu Pātiki/Mt Herbert. We 

use both Māori and European 

names interchangeably to refer to 

the landscape in which we live. 

We are fully supportive of the 

recent proposal made by Te Hapū 

o Ngāti Wheke to restore the 

original Māori names of features 

in and around Whakaraupō as 

well as to retain existing names 

which have been in long term 

use. Personally, we prefer more 

melodious and more descriptively 

meaningful Māori names. 

Exactly how much do most of 

us know about Sidney Herbert 

or George William Lyttelton, 

neither of whom set foot in 

Aotearoa/New Zealand. However, 

for those who fear the loss 

of familiar European names, it is 

not a case of either/or but of both, 

and we will be culturally and linguistically 

richer for the change.

FINAL 

WEEK 

Preparing for Xmas 

IT’S STARTING to look a 

bit like Christmas 

It was a busy weekend at 

our place over the weekend, 

ushering in Christmas 

month. 

This time of year is also 

the start of kids’ birthday 

season for us, thanks to 

Vittoria being a January 

baby. 

Our first was on Saturday 

and Vittoria was her 

typical vivacious self, running 

about and munching 

on birthday treats. 

She even managed to 

borrow another friend’s 

wooden bike as we were 

leaving – I mean convincing 

a toddler to give up a 

toy when you have your 

arms full is a tall order. 

Later that night, Vittoria’s 

godfather Codey 

arrived from Australia for 

a lightning fast whānau 

visit and stayed with us for 

the night. 

Vittoria was fast asleep 

by the time he arrived so 

I waited until later in the 

morning to take her into 

the room and see him/ 

shock him awake in petty 

retaliation for not doing 

the dishes when we were 

flatmates. 

I had thought finding a 

grown man asleep in her 

room might have surprised 

her at least a little, but 

as soon as she saw it was 

FESTIVE: Have you ever 

seen concentration like 

this putting a star on a 

tree? 

Codey she just lit up and 

was happy to giggle and 

babble away to him. 

Watching the two of them 

together while he was at 

our place was awesome. She 

hasn’t seen her godfather 

since her first birthday, but 

she was straight back into 

playing with him like it had 

only been a day or two. 

The top game of the 

morning? Riding the 

borrowed bike through 

Codey’s legs, hunting him 

down if he wanted to stop 

playing and eat.

Award for enterprising students 

AN IDEA born on a sports 

field sideline has won two 

budding entrepreneurs a 

top national award. 

Wayo Whyte, of Lyttelton, 

and Riley Flanagan, 

of Governors Bay, are 

two of four Cashmere 

High School students to 

bag Company of the Year 

at the Young Enterprise 

Scheme national competition. 

The group of year 13 students, 

which also includes 

Josh Dalley and Luisa 

Birkenhake, invented Pivot, 

the world’s first instant 

ice strapping tape. 

By combining two sporting 

necessities – strapping 

tape and ice packs, the 

students have developed 

an instant ice-cold sports 

strapping tape which will 

enable athletes to ‘rest, 

recover and return faster 

than ever before’. 

Their company was 

awarded $3000, as well as a 

$5000 scholarship for each 

student to put towards 

study through Massey

the YES regional finals. 

Last Wednesday they attended 

the national finals 

in Wellington and once 

again impressed with their 

innovation and entrepreneurship, 

beating 20 other 

regional champions. 

Said Pivot marketing 

manager Wayo: “Our idea 

stemmed from a problem 

we had all faced. 

“United by our love of 

sport we recognised an 

inconvenience that had 

plagued all of us at different 

times – ice packs and 

strapping tape just don’t 

mix well and no one likes 

sitting on the sidelines 

watching their team play 

while they’re waiting on an 

ice pack to make a difference.” 

With this idea in mind, 

the students approached 

their school’s chemistry 

department. 

“We wanted to create 

a strapping tape with 

a chemical embedded 

within that goes cold with 

the application of water. 

We wanted our product to 

be something you chose to 

activate, and water was a 

no brainer.” 

Their product combines 

the support of strapping 

tape with the cooling of 

an ice pack, allowing the 

user to recover faster while 

avoiding the immobility 

caused by an ice pack.

Hopes for bittern boom 

Environment 

Canterbury’s 

councillor Vicky 

Southworth 

writes about 

bitterns, a critically 

endangered bird which lives 

at Lake Ellesmere 

I spent a recent Saturday night 

listening out for bitterns booming 

on the fringes of Te Waihora, or 

Lake Ellesmere, about an hour’s 

drive from Christchurch. I was 

part of a volunteer team helping 

Emma Williams from the Department 

of Conservation with her 

research on the elusive bittern. 

Male bitterns don’t tweet, they 

boom. They are advertising to 

passing females that they have 

found a great nesting spot - pop 

in and settle down! A good 

nesting spot has dense raupō, or 

bulrushes, which offers a hiding 

place from harriers overhead. 

There were two circling overhead 

while I watched the lake – and a 

food source close by. 

Large flocks of bittern were 

reported in the past, and males 

could stay in the territory of 

just a few hectares during the 

breeding season. Recent research 

using GPS shows that these days 

individual males roam widely, 

probably in search of food. This 

change in behaviour is thought 

to be due to degraded habitat. 

Bittern feed using sight to catch

their prey, meaning they need 

shallow water that is sufficiently 

clear to see into. They are vulnerable 

to predation if low water 

levels force them to feed away 

from the vegetated lake edges. 

Only 10 per cent of New 

Zealand’s original wetlands now 

remain, and much of what’s left 

is degraded. The female birds 

struggle to both protect and feed 

their brood and the population 

nationally has declined rapidly in 

the last 40 years or so. Sadly, the 

species is now considered critically 

endangered with less than 

1000 left in New Zealand. Understanding 

more about these birds 

and what they need will help 

improve habitat management 

around the lake and hopefully 

support an increased population 

of bitterns.

boom check out nzbirdsonline.

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

THE AMAZING native 

Bar-tailed Godwits breeds 

in Alaska. And each 

September, when the harsh 

Alaskan winter sets in 

they fly an astonishing 

12000 km non-stop at an 

average speed of 70 km/h to 

Australia and New Zealand 

estuaries where they spend 

our summer here with us. 

Our Avon-Heathcote 

estuary/Ihutai host just 

over 1500 birds this year. 

Numbers are unfortunately 

slowly declining. 

Godwits feed on small 

cockles and pipi, crabs, marine 

worms and small insects. 

Each year in March they 

return to Alaska for another 

breeding season with only 

one stop along the way in 

estuaries around the Yellow 

Sea to feed before continuing 

to Alaska. A journey of 

some 14,000km. Godwits 

are among some of the longest 

distance migrating birds 

in the world. 

How can we help these 

very shy birds? Keep dogs on 

the lead when walking near 

the estuary and pick up litter. 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon- 

Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit 

organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of 

New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. 

Each week she introduces a new bird found 

in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the 

understanding of the values and uniqueness of 

the area.

Are you winding up or 

winding down? 

As the end of the year draws nearer (just two more 

Saturdays until Christmas!) I’ve often wondered should 

we be winding up or winding down? I suppose winding 

down means we are slowing down, getting ready to 

finish, have a break before starting again in the New 

Year. Arguably, winding up means exactly the same. 

In other words, we’re finishing things off and bringing 

activities to close before taking that well earned 

break. Or, does it mean we’re staying busy, keeping 

active, creating new opportunities and preparing to hit 

the ground running when 2020 rolls around? That’s 

certainly my preference. There’s no doubt that a break 

is something to look forward to, but invariably over 

the holiday period people are taking time to think over 

their options for next year. Buying, selling, securing 

an investment property, trading up or trading down. 

So, with that in mind, it’s important to know there are 

sales consultants working, properties available and 

information on hand for when the 

New Year rush hits, usually around 

mid-January. 

So you might think you’re looking 

forward to winding down for the 

year but we are very much in 

the mode of winding things up. 

It’s actually a great time to have 

everything in place so you can hit the ground running next 

year. In fact, as I write this, we have two local homeowners 

in our office doing the paperwork to have their property 

available to view from mid-January. A number of other 

property owners have also made appointments with us to 

do exactly the same thing. And the good thing is, once that’s 

all done, those property owners can then look forward to 

winding down for Christmas! 

Come and talk to us today about getting things in place so 

you can hit the market early in the New Year.

Your Local Views 

A big shout out to volunteers 

Port Hills 

MP Ruth 

Dyson writes 

about the 

hard work of 

volunteers 

in the 

community 

THE SURF patrols have started 

on our beaches, the visits to 

people living alone in their 

homes continue, the hot, cooked 

lunches are served in our local 

churches, our fire brigade members 

are alert – and hundreds 

of other actions and activities 

happen which keep our communities 

and our residents safe 

and happy. 

Sometimes we take their presence 

for granted. They are there 

when we need them. But we 

shouldn’t take them for granted. 

They are volunteers who add 

their service on top of their daily 

lives. So to all those people – 

patrolling our beaches watching 

out for swimmers who get into 

bother, our Lyttelton Community 

House team, St Johns and 

Linwood Ave Union church who 

provide meals for so many people, 

Lyttelton and Sumner Fire 

Brigades, Age Concern visitors, 

Sumner Bays volunteers and so 

many others – thank you. 

Some countries don’t have the 

culture and spirit of volunteering 

that we have in New Zealand. 

It’s part of our DNA and 

one that we should appreciate 

and nurture. These volunteers 

give up a lot of their leisure and 

family time so that our residents 

have a better life. That’s pretty 

special. 

So heading into the Christmas 

and New Year period which is 

often a time of reflection on the 

year past and the year ahead, 

let’s all take a moment 

to acknowledge and thank 

those who make our place a 

great one to live and play in – 

people who go the extra mile for 

others. They give us a gift that 

tops most Christmas presents 

BRAVE: 

Volunteer fire 

brigades deal 

with all types 

of callouts, 

including 

motor vehicle 

accidents, fires 

and medical 

rescues. 

and they don’t do it for thanks 

or glory. But they deserve 

both. 

These volunteers are a big part 

of why we have such special and 

strong communities. I hope that 

their summer is not all work 

and that they also get some time 

to spend in the sun with their 

families. 

SPORT 

New football 

coach appointed 

ALAN WALKER will guide 

Ferrymead Bays in next year’s 

Mainland Premier League after 

being unveiled as the club’s new 

head coach. 

Last year Bays 

were coached by 

Joe Hall and Neil 

Murphy following 

the departure of 

Danny Halligan 

to Christchurch 

United. 

Alan Walker 

Walker has a 

wealth of knowledge 

and experience in football, having 

spent 10 years leading Mainland 

Football as federation development 

manager. During his time at Mainland 

Football he was head coach for 

the Canterbury United Youth side 

in seven National Youth League 

campaigns, winning two titles and 

finishing runners-up twice. 

He has lived in Chistchurch for 14 

years, originally moving to Sumner 

and starting coaching with Rangers 

FC before coaching Coastal Spirit 

in their inaugural season, prior to 

moving on to Mainland Football. 

Born and raised in Manchester 

as a Manchester City supporter, 

Walker achieved UEFA B Licence 

in his late 20s and has gone on to 

become a New Zealand Football 

advanced coach developer, as well as 

holding a Oceania/NZF B licence, 

with A licence pending.

Wine 

Red wines to enjoy in the warm weather 

• By Mark Henderson 

FOR RED wine lovers pinot noir 

can be the ticket to happiness on 

hot days. 

Drunk cool, not cold, their 

wonderful fragrance and lighter 

frame can be exhilarating rather 

than exhausting. 

2017 Villa Maria Platinum 

Selection Organic 

Marlborough Pinot Noir 

Price: $29.99 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Bright and juicy nose, dusty 

smoky notes, tar, lead pencil and 

savoury nuances. Savoury notes 

continue on the stony minerally 

palate with juicy, tangy red 

berryfruit. A refreshing vein of 

coolness runs through this. Time 

sees the stony, grainy tannic 

backbone become more evident 

with a tangy sweet ‘n’ sour note

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

FROM THE BOARD 

As the school year draws to a close, it is wonderful to see students’ hard work and 

commitment honoured at prizegiving ceremonies. Well done on your achievements. 

This year the Board has been working closely with the Bishop and the Diocese Property 

Group in overseeing planning for our new school at Papanui in 2023. Alongside 

technical work, students and staff have been contributing, through workshops, a 

survey and providing input into the development of our cultural narrative, which will 

be reflected in the new school buildings and grounds. 

While this whole new layer of work progresses, Marian College continues to deliver 

high quality teaching and learning and providing wonderful opportunities and 

experiences for students. Thank you to Marian staff, Marian College Foundation, 

PTA, the Bishop and the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch for your support this year. 

We have been thrilled by the steady growth of Rauru – for past students and staff of 

Marian College, St Mary’s College Christchurch and McKillop College. To reconnect 

with us, please register on the Marian website and follow us on Facebook. 

Finally, congratulations to our 2019 graduates. 

We trust the gospel values will guide you well, 

as you venture forth beyond the school gates. 

We wish you all the very best. 

With blessings 

Jan Paterson, Chair

ESSAY WINNER 

CHRISTMAS HOME BAKING 

Congratulations to Malaika Sequeira who has won the Catholic Agency 

for Justice, Peace and Development prize, senior category. This

to enable communities to ensure the spirit of participation is extended 

to everyone, regardless of intellectual, physical, mental or social 

challenges. She showed a sound understanding of the principles of 

Catholic Social Teaching, such as Human Dignity, the Common Good, 

Solidarity and Subsidiarity. Malaika won a cash prize for herself and her 

class and the Justice and Peace Cup for Marian to appreciate for a year. 

www.mariancollege.school.nz | 03 385 8449 | exec@mariancollege.school.nz 

The giving season lasts all year at Marian, with every student completing at 

least six hours of meaningful service within the school and community. Recently 

some of our Year 9 and 10 students organised gift-wrapped home baking and 

hand-made Christmas cards for families attending the Tafesilafa’i Early Learning 

Centre. Marian College has a long tradition of service – both students and staff are 

actively involved. Pictured here from left are Anna-Naina Aileone, Taylor Poole-

The End of Forever Series, Book #3 by Paullina Simons 

They were ready for anything ... except the end. The must-read conclusion to 

the epic End of Forever saga by Paullina Simons. 

Julian has lost everything he ever loved and is almost out of time. His 

life and death struggle against fate offers him one last chance to do the 

impossible and save the woman to whom he is permanently bound. 

Together, Julian and Josephine must wage war against the relentless dark 

force that threatens to destroy them. This fight will take everything they 

have and everything they are as they try once more to give each other their 

unfinished lives back. 

As time runs out for the star-crossed lovers, Julian learns that fate has 

one last cruel trick in store for them - and that even a man who has lost 

everything still has something left to lose. 

Following on from the heartbreaking The Tiger Catcher and A Beggar’s 

Kingdom, Inexpressible Island is the unmissable conclusion to the epic End 

of Forever saga.

to the hill and maximise the sun and 

stunning uninterrupted views this 1977 

pole house has an air and feel of quality 

and longevity about it. 

Over engineered and extremely strong, 

there are 4 double bedrooms, bathroom 

and laundry etc. on the middle level whilst 

on the 3rd floor lovely large open plan 

living, dining and kitchen flowing on to 

a large North, Northwest facing deck, 

perfect for drinking in those captivating 

and ever changing views. 

Cleverly designed to maximise the 

winter sun whilst giving some relief from 

the summer sun this property is both 

sheltered from the prevailing wind and 

very very private. Is set over 1723m2 on 

2 separate titles which gives the option of 

selling one if required. The properties are 

both beautifully landscaped and planted 

attracting plentiful birdlife and birdsong. 

The lower level of the house is a 

triple garage with excellent storage and 

workshop areas and gives internal access 

in to the house. Classical simplicity with 

floor to ceiling windows, well insulated 

and double glazed, all timbers are treated 

and the property is on mains water and 

sewerage. Good access and off-street 

parking round off a very appealing 

package. 

This is the first time to the market but

BAY HARBOUR 


Plenty of kudos for Holden’s big Acadia 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

HOLDEN’S ACADIA didn’t win 

the 2019 New Zealand Motoring 

Writers’ Guild car of the year 

award. That trophy went to 

Jaguar’s fully electric I-Pace. 

Nevertheless, Holden New Zealand 

and General Motors should 

be buoyed that its big seven-seat 

sport utility vehicle was a finalist. 

It went up against some pretty 

tough competition – three electric 

cars and other notables. 

Collectively, I don’t know 

where Acadia finished in the 

standings but it certainly scored 

well in my own personal tally of 

points for the COTY. 

The big United States built 

SUV is doesn’t have a lot of 

competition here, sure Toyota’s 

Highlander and Jeep Grand 

Cherokee are well established but 

the Acadia has presence, it is bold 

and captures imagination with its 

styling that is just a little out of 

the mainstream. 

The Acadia comes out of the 

GMC stable, GMC is an off-shoot 

of the giant General Motors conglomerate 

that focuses primarily 

on trucks and pick-ups. However, 

the Acadia distances itself 

from the ute market, it is built 

on a sophisticated monocoque 

floorpan with fully independent 

suspension. 

HOLDEN ACADIA LTZ-V: Four-wheel-drive provides 

substantial cross-country ability. 

Under the bonnet sits a 3.6-litre 

V6 petrol engine which is rated 

at 231kW and 367Nm, these 

healthy outputs are realised tall 

in the rev band at 6600rpm and 

5000rpm respectively. If you 

think these figures look familiar, 

it’s pretty much the same power 

plant that is fitted to the rangetopping 

ZB-series Commodore. 

The Acadia also gets the same 

transmission, it’s a nine-speed 

unit that is characterised by 

smooth shifts and ratios which 

ease the load on the engine so 

that respectable fuel economy can 

be gleaned. 

Because of its size, and weight 

(2032kg), the Acadia needs as 

much benefit in this department 

as it can get. Holden rate it with 

a 9.3-litre per 100km (30mpg) 

combined cycle rating. By my 

reckoning that’s achievable, the 

test car was constantly listing 

around 10.8l/100km (26mpg), 

taking into consideration I did 

a lot of around the city driving 

which is never conducive to good 

economy results. 

On the highway the engine 

lopes over gently at 1500rpm 

at 100km/h in top gear, using 

fuel at an instantaneous rate of 

7.8l/100km (36mpg). 

The Acadia is also a useful offthe-seal 

traveller. It lands in both 

two-wheel-drive and four-wheeldrive 

variants. The test car was the 

top spec – LTZ-V, and although 

the driveline won’t get to places a 

low ratio set-up will take you, the 

mechanicals are perfect for low 

grip situations such as the skifield 

access road, tackling the tracks 

leading into those high country 

lakes, or taking the boat to the 

slipway. For the record, the Acadia 

has a 2000kg tow rating and a 

203mm ground clearance figure. 

It also travels with compliant 

suspension travel. Unlike US 

vehicles of the past which have 

been quite soft in the suspension, 

the Acadia’s spring and damper 

rates are definitely biased towards 

moderate firming, yet comfort 

isn’t compromised. 

Pushed into a corner there is 

just enough steering feel thanks 

to beautiful Continental sport 

tyres, and they are big at 235/55 

x 20in. There is a lot of rubber 

on the road and that promotes a 

secure feeling of attachment. 

Power out of a corner is vivid. 

The quad-camshaft engine is a 

howler, it works through the rev 

band freely but you don’t have 

to have it singing to the red line 

to get performance, the torque 

curve is just broad enough so that 

it utilises the mid-range. 

However, if you like to have it 

breathing freely for a highway 

overtake for example, it hunts to 

the red line willingly, there was 

never a point where I thought the 

wrong gear was selected, the way 

it arranges those nine ratios is 

very clever. On the subject of performance, 

the Acadia buyer can 

expect a standstill to 100km/h 

time of around 7.8sec. 

• Price – Holden Acadia 

LTZ-V, $71,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4979mm; width, 1916mm; 

height, 1762mm 

• Configuration – V6, 

four-wheel-drive, 3649cc, 

231kW, 367Nm, nine-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 9.3l/100km 

As mentioned, the Acadia 

lands here in three specification 

levels, each with the option of 

four-wheel-drive. The entry-level 

model lands at $49,990, while the 

test car with its high grade trim 

and 4WD sits at $71,990. For 

that money it is comprehensively 

equipped – and you’d expect 

nothing less. It is very American 

in the way it is trimmed and 

it does get all the latest safety 

technology that comes out of the 

General Motors’ stable. 

The Acadia makes no pretense 

that it is genuinely American, 

its styling is designed to capture 

attention, and the luxury feel 

inside takes me back to the best 

vehicles that have come out of the 

States in terms of build quality 

and comfort. 

However, the Acadia also gets 

the benefit of the down under 

input. Prior to its release here it 

was tested vigorously across the 

Tasman for our market. That 

development shows, it is an 

involving, spirited car that feels 

very good to be in.
