Boat safety 

group 

concerned 

over draft 

breakwater 

design 

• By Samantha Mythen 

THE BOAT Safety at Naval Point, 

Lyttelton group has expressed 

concern about the area’s $27 

million development draft plan, 

and has asked the city council to 

still consider its feedback on the 

breakwater. 

In November last year, the draft 

plan was approved by the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board after 

two development options had 

been released for public consultation 

in July. 

During these consultations, 

support for option two with a 

fixed breakwater, connected to 

the spit, featured strongly in the 

feedback. A breakwater is a structure 

constructed near coastal land 

which protects a launching and 

receiving area from harsh weather 

and water drift. 

However, in the draft plan, a 

design was chosen featuring a 

smaller breakwater with two exit 

and entry points. None of the affected 

groups had been consulted 

on this new design.

To be sold by deadline sale by 29 Jan (unless sold prior) 

3001m² section - Listing no. OPA24724 

Enjoying a supreme situation on the lower slopes of Richmond Hill, 

this magnificently proportioned approx 3001m section serves up 

spectacular ocean views and provides buyers with an exceptional 

array of opportunities. Following the demolition of the venors 

previous home, the site is essentially a blank canvas and now only 

hosts the home’s old footprint, a double garage and a portion of 

retaining walls (being sold “as is, where is”). The 180-degree vistas 

are sublime, covering Pegasus Bay and beyond. Better yet, this 

parcel of land is exceptionally private, soaked in sunshine and cannot 

be built out which provides significant appeal for those wanting to 

construct their very own residential masterpiece. 

Properties of this scale, and in this location are a genuine rarity, and 

their scarcity should encourage your earliest enquiry.

New parking restrictions soon 

In Brief 


BOAT SHED owner Hayden 

Yessev has had enough of 

vehicles illegally parking by the 

Duvauchelle public boat ramp. 

He said he has seen some 

vehicles overstay 

the 10min parking 

restriction by up to 13 

hours. 

Yessev has been lobbying 

the city council 

for clearer parking signage 

for nearly a year. 

Steffan 

Thomas 

Care & 

Compassion 

We pride ourselves on the 

very highest level of service 

Over the Christmas 

period he saw a car overstaying 

the limit almost 

every day. 

This is creating issues for 

others wanting to access the 

space. 

The parking restriction is 

next to the Duvauchelle boat 

ramp and has the short time 

duration to allow marine users 

to efficiently access the water. 

Said city council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas: “The parking restriction 

is in place to provide opportunities 

for boat ramp users 

to load and unload equipment 

and passengers before parking 

elsewhere.” 

“The boat ramp is a busy 

facility that is subject to high 

demand at peak times for access 

and parking.” 

Yessev’s persistent campaigning 

appears to be paying off. 

On November 16 last year, 

the decision was made by the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board to decrease the parking 

time limit to 5min and 

to design the area as a 

loading zone rather than 

a parking area. The city 

council approved this 

change and new 5min 

loading zone signs are 

soon to be installed with 

new road markings also 

put in place. 

A city council spokesperson 

said traffic operations 

staff had visited the site on numerous 

occasions to investigate 

the issue prior to the board’s 

decision. 

“The P5 loading zone will 

reinforce that it is not a place 

to park for extended periods 

of time and that users must be 

actively loading and unloading 

within the space,” Thomas 

said. 

“I suspect it’s not always the 

boat owner parking there, but 

their mate who is new to the 

area who doesn’t see the sign. 

Hopefully, the new signage 

and clearer road markings will 

make it more obvious,” Yessev 

said. 

SOLUTION: The 10min parking restriction will soon be changed to 

a P5 loading zone. Inset: The boat ramp is a popular parking area. 

Wishing you all a Happy New Year 

and the very best for 2021

Youth a priority for community board 


ENVIRONMENT and youth 

– these are the top priorities for 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board in the 

coming months. 

But their number one priority 

for the beginning of 2021 is finding 

a deputy chair. 

“We are 

looking for 

someone who 

has the time 

and drive to 

take this position 

on,” said 

chairwoman, 

Alexandra 

Alexandra 

Davids 

Davids. 

The search 

for a full board 

comes after Davids survived a 

leadership coup late last year 

by five fellow board members 

representing themselves as the 

Labour-aligned People’s Choice. 

Davids was first elected to 

the board in 2013 and since 

April 2019, she had worked as 

chairwoman. This was after the 

resignation of Sally Buck, one of 

Christchurch’s longest-serving 

elected members. 

The People’s Choice members 

Jake McLellan, Yani Johanson, 

Michelle Lomax, Jackie Simons 

and Sunita Gautam faced public 

PRIORITIES: Children at the temporary skate park facility in Sumner. Designs for a 

permanent skate park and green area received public feedback last year. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

backlash for their calls that Davids 

step down. They eventually 

revoked their plans. 

Once a new deputy chair is 

found, focus will turn to the 

board’s long term plan and setting 

priorities for the rest of the 

year. 

This includes continued work 

on the Sumner park and skate 

area with community consultation 

taken into consideration. 

From October to November last 

year, the board heard from 141 

individuals and groups on development 

of the area. 

The village green site has since 

be included as part of the design, 

meaning the space will be a 

place for the entire community 

to enjoy. 

The board will be contributing 

to a climate change workshop on 

February 24. 

“This will help us to decide on 

where we can best put our efforts 

to help make some positive 

tangible change,” she said. 

An exciting event for young 

people based in the Linwood and 

Ferrymead area is planned for 

March. The board has partnered 

with Youth and Cultural Development 

and the Eastgate Mall 

to host the Ball in the Mall high 

school event. 

Because most high schools 

had to postpone their functions 

and ball events in 2020 due to 

Covid-19, the mall saw a need in 

the community to nurture their 

youth. The board is assisting 

with some of the financing and 

staffing of the event. 

Manager of Eastgate Mall, 

Louise Ledger, is also setting up 

a pop-up store in the mall to 

help students with their formal 

attire. 

“I am definitely very hopeful 

for 2021. I think last year proved 

that having a positive outlook 

and always believing that things 

will be better in the end is 

essential,” Davids said.

CONCERNS: Members of the Boat Safety at Naval Point, Lyttelton 

James Ensor, Roger Allen and Eden Husband are hoping for a long 

breakwater, connected to the existing spit, to be put in place with the new 

developments. 

PHOTO MONTAGE: GEOFF SLOAN 

Group worried that further 

problems would develop 

• From page 1 

The Boat Safety at Naval 

Point, Lyttelton group expressed 

concern over why 

this idea was presented 

when there was unanimous 

support and feedback for 

option two with the fixed 

breakwater. 

“We decided on the best 

option and then this came 

out as something we’d 

never seen,” Roger Allen, 

who has 73 years of 

sailing experience, 

said. 

“We give credit to 

the council because 

the consultation process 

was quite good 

and they did have options,” 

member Eden 

Husband said. 

“But then they proposed 

their own venture with a 

reduced breakwater.” 

The group, which has 

been campaigning for 28 

years for development of 

the public boat ramp and 

surrounding marine area, 

strongly argued for the 

fixed breakwater during 

the consultations. 

“The critical thing with 

boating is to protect the 

area that you launch and 

retrieve your vessels, and 

to have an area for boats 

to congregate safely while 

they are waiting to get off 

the water,” Husband said. 

They are worried that 

if the draft plan design is 

chosen for the final plan to 

be modelled off, it will only 

create more problems. 

Allan explained that 

having two entry and 

exit points may result in 

dangerous traffic issues 

and congestion, aggravated 

by those who do not fully 

understand boating rules. 

The protected area would 

be smaller, meaning less 

boats would be sheltered 

from the bad weather and 

the launching area would 

not receive sufficient 

coverage from the 

winds. It would 

also be harder 

for larger sailing 

boats to launch 

safely. 

“The general 

concern of the 

public is modelling 

of the shorter 

structure is inadequate for 

the needs of the environment,” 

member James 

Ensor said. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board chairwoman 

Tori Peden told Bay 

Harbour News that what 

was passed as the draft 

plan would not be the final 

design, hoping to reassure 

the likes of Boat Safety and 

other concerned groups. 

“What was passed by the 

board is not set in concrete 

and we are now consulting 

with engineers,” she said. 

“The draft plan was just 

one step in the process and 

it shows roughly where 

everything will go. We are 

still yet to finalise aspects 

such as the number of car 

parks and the breakwater 

Tori Peden 

length.” 

However, Boat Safety are 

concerned around why the 

majority supported option 

for the longer breakwater 

had not been included in 

any engagement from the 

council since. 

They are worried that a 

sticking plaster approach 

will be taken to the project, 

having seen many failures 

since they first started 

campaigning. 

“We would like to see 

more design and modelling 

around the second option, 

which is what everyone 

supported. The community 

using the facilities needs to 

feel safe and secure,” said 

Ensor. 

Anthony Whitely, who 

has worked as deputy and 

regional harbour master 

for eight years, also supported 

a new longer breakwater 

moulded into the spit 

currently in place. 

“This gives more protection 

from the winds for 

vessels in the area of the 

slipway and allows for 

more room to manoeuvre,” 

he said. 

“Our argument as always 

been before you build the 

asset, protect it,” Husband 

said. 

Peden confirmed that 

further testing of the 

proposed breakwater 

layout will be carried out 

ensuring the best possible 

option is chosen and safety 

of the facility users being 

paramount.

New Year, New 

Opportunities! 

Is this your year of change? Did you 

put your feet up over Christmas and 

think about what 2021 might bring? 

New house, new career, change of 

direction? All of the above? We know 

life is full of opportunities and change 

is our constant companion. Some of us 

embrace it and some are happy with the 

status quo. Where do you fit in? 

There is plenty of evidence to suggest 

the real estate market is going to 

continue to be buoyant at least for 

the first part of the year. Interest 

rates are still at an historical low and 

are continuing to drop, Kiwis are 

returning home in droves and there is 

unprecedented demand for housing 

in all price ranges. Multiple bidders at 

auctions and multiple offers on deadline 

sales are very much the norm in the 

current market. Is this your year to sell? 

Or, is this your year to enter real estate 

as a career? If there was ever a time 

to get into the business of real estate 

then it has got to be now. Invariably at 

this time of year we get enquiries from 

people from all walks of life looking at a 

change of career. If it is something you 

have been contemplating or are keen to 

know more about then we would love to 

hear from you.

Surprise accolade for Sumner’s Finnish recruit 

• By Chris Barclay 

KALLE VALIMAKI has an 

unexpected addition to his 

sporting CV as he embarks on 

his first pre-season with new 

club Sumner, the promising 

prop was surprised to learn he is 

Finland’s latest rugby player of 

the year. 

Valimaki, who spent four seasons 

with Methven in the Mid- 

Canterbury competition before 

targeting the step up to Christchurch’s 

Metro Premiership in 

2021, discovered last week he was 

recognised in Finland’s equivalent 

of the Halberg Awards. 

“I woke up last Thursday and I 

had a message from Dad (Simo) 

saying: ‘Congratulations my son’ 

and I was like, my birthday was 

in December’,” Valimaki said. 

A quick scan of his old rugby 

club’s facebook page confirmed 

the accolade, meaning had he 

been back in Helsinki – and 

Covid-19 was not an issue – the 

26-year-old would have been 

mixing with elite ice hockey 

stars, footballers and Olympic 

class skiers. 

Ultimately the gala was scaled 

back so Valimaki, who works as 

a chef in the Arts Centre, was 

content to be back in Covid-free 

Christchurch. 

“It was a pleasant surprise, I 

never got any heads-up,” said 

Valimaki, who was introduced to 

rugby as an 18-year-old. 

He preferred indoor hockey 

and football before a chance 

meeting with a Dutch rugby 

player at a party, who suggested 

he had the build for the front 

row. 

“I remember my first training 

session, it was in a horse stable in 

the winter because it was -25 deg 

C outside. 

“I remember running into 

contact for the first time thinking 

this is pretty exciting. I just 

fell in love with the sport.” 

A specialist loosehead, Valimaki’s 

Kiwi coach in Finland 

encouraged him to further his 

development in New Zealand 

and he ended up in Methven in 

early 2017, two years after debuting 

for the national side. 

“I didn’t really know where 

Methven was but I had just 

finished chef school and there 

was nothing holding me back. I

late last season, the club he will play for 

in 2021. 

decided to overseas to play rugby 

for a year and now I’m living 

here permanently.” 

Valimaki has 15 caps for 

Finland, his most recent test was 

in 2019 when he was flown to 

Vienna for their first-ever test 

with Austria. 

“It was a round trip in a week 

so I was pretty shattered, 30 

hours there and 30 hours back,” 

he recalled. 

Still, the trip was worthwhile 

as Finland edged the European 

Nations Cup clash 32-29. 

Valimaki also had a memorable 

2020 once the global pandemic 

curtailed a backpacking 

trip around Europe with his 

partner Emma Petersen. 

They returned to New Zealand 

from Italy via Finland last 

March, enabling Valimaki to 

feature in Methven’s triumphant 

march to the Watters Cup. 

Valimaki then learned Sumner 

was struggling for numbers in 

Christchurch’s Metro Premier 

grade so he made himself available 

at the tail end of a challenging 

campaign. 

“I played about five minutes off 

the bench in Sumner’s last game 

against Marist Albion. Even 

though they had a tough season, 

the atmosphere was good,” he 

said, looking forward to contributing 

to a resurgence. 

Work commitments limit 

Valimaki’s ability to catch Crusaders 

or Canterbury games live, 

though he does keep a watchful 

eye on premier All Black loosehead 

Joe Moody. 

“I’ve actually met Joe, we had 

a bit of a chat. We’re about the 

same height, he’s a bit stockier, 

which is understandable, he’s 

a professional athlete. I was 

sort of sizing him up,” he said, 

acknowledging: “I’ve got a wee 

way to go.” 

Edith Cavell Corner 

The beautifully refurbished gardens are ready to be enjoyed by Edith Cavell’s residents. 

Gardens set for 

the “Wow” factor! 

Looking after Edith Cavell’s much-loved gardens is Head 

Gardener, Dave Milne. A lot of his career was spent working 

at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, one of the most 

prestigious botanical gardens in the world. 

Dave says he loves the atmosphere at Edith Cavell, “It’s so lovely 

and quaint, and quiet with lovely surrounds.” 

He’s excited about bringing lots of colour, brightness and joy to 

the refurbished gardens at Edith Cavell. You may have already 

noticed the new burst of colour at the entrance. “We really want to 

bring the ‘Wow factor’ to the village gardens,” says Dave. 

Dave says the established trees, such as the Weeping Elm and 

Tulip Tree, are special features and he wants to build on the 

existing garden by creating layers of canopies. He says the 

gardens are a wonderful place for residents to walk around and 

spend time in. “I want to make sure there’s year-round interest in 

the garden. Something new and lovely to look at every month of 

the year,” he says. 

Dave also enjoys seeing what the residents in the villas do with 

their own individual gardens, 

“I’m all for it, and we’re always ready to help if they want anything 

ripped out or moved.” Dave says the Sumner community will enjoy 

the developments over the next months, including new gardens on 

Dryden Street, “Watch this space!”

HABITAT: Mt Pleasant School pupils learning about ecology during a 

survey of the Drayton Reserve Stream, under the supervision of local 

freshwater ecologist Kirsty Brennan of EOS Ecology. 

Encouraging a greater 

emphasis on ecology 

Dave Bryce of the Redcliffs/ 

Te Rae Kura Eco Village 

group says it is focusing on 

biodiversity and ecology 

during January 

WE ALL KNOW something 

about economics, but 

what do we know about 

ecology? 

Both words come from 

the Greek word “oikos” 

meaning “home”, in an 

holistic sense. 

Economics is the study 

of the financial behaviour 

of humans, as the 

management of individuals, 

households, cities or 

nations. 

Ecology, however, is the 

study of the full behaviour 

of all organisms on 

earth over billions of years, 

and yes, that includes us 

humans. 

Economics does not 

include the contribution of, 

or impact on nature, of all 

human financial activities, 

and fundamentally therefore, 

leads to unsustainable 

behaviour. 

Ecology, however, is comprehensive, 

is the basis of 

many indigenous cultures, 

and reflects how organisms 

live sustainably with other 

organisms and with earth’s 

resources. 

Surely, we should be 

focusing much more on 

ecology than we do? 

Here are some ecological 

principles to think 

about, along with similar 

old sayings from western 

cultures: 

1 Observe … note and 

understand changes and 

long-term implications, 

before correcting. Slow 

and steady wins the race. 

2 Make sure all changes 

are necessary, timely, selfregulating 

and productive. 

Necessity is the mother of 

invention. 

3 Catch, use, store, and 

conserve, accessible renewable 

energy … solar and 

wind. 

Make hay while the sun 

shines. 

4 Encourage diversity 

… maximise the range of 

species in systems (unlike 

monoculture). Don’t put all 

your eggs in one basket. 

5 Encourage complexity 

… for stability, by maximising 

positive connections 

(co-operation) and allowing 

for negative connections 

(competition). Many 

hands make light work. 

6 Recycle … value all 

resources, respect natural 

cycles. 

Waste not, want not. 

7 Respect natural organisms 

and patterns … 

they have evolved here for 

reasons. The whole is greater 

than the sum of the parts. 

8 Encourage “edges” … 

for greater productivity – 

estuaries, forest margins, 

tiered growing. Nature 

knows best. 

9 Evolve … use and 

respond to changes, cooperation 

and competition. 

All of the flowers that bloom 

tomorrow are in the seeds of 

today. 

10 Respect others … 

people and other species, 

we are all connected to 

each other. One good turn 

deserves another. 

Our pledges on biodiversity 

for 2021 are: 

1 Plant your own native 

habitat on your property, 

or go to community native 

tree planting and maintenance 

days. Check each 

week and note any new 

creatures. Use “i-naturalist. 

nz”. 

2 Pull out and properly 

dispose of all weeds on 

your property. 

3 Trap possums, 

hedgehogs, rats, mice and 

wasps on your property. 

Free computing course 

delivers unexpected benefits 

A simple desire to become more confident 

using computers has opened up a world of 

possibilities for business owner Thomas King. 

For the past 20 years, Thomas has been a codirector 

of a logistics business. Over that time 

he’s seen huge changes in the way business is 

conducted. 

“The world is rapidly changing and to keep 

pace with it, having some confidence and 

competence in computing is crucial,” he says. 

“I realised that I’d have to embrace this scary 

but exciting new tech-driven world sooner or 

later, and now here I am today, loving what I 

once feared.” 

Thomas took his first steps in computing at 

an Ara Connect community hub, one of several 

in Christchurch. Each Ara Connect hub offers 

free, non-assessed computing courses for 

anyone wanting to gain skills and confidence 

using digital technology. 

Thomas says the tutors at Ara Connect 

welcomed him warmly, made learning an 

enjoyable experience and were very supportive. 

“I felt so inspired during my journey and this 

is a reflection of the good folk who work 

at Ara. They’re very attentive and always 

eager to assist. They want you to succeed 

and they encourage you to push your 

boundaries without ever throwing you in 

the deep end.” 

Discovering something new and amazing 

every time he got on a computer was one 

of the things Thomas enjoyed most about 

his time at Ara. “There are some amazing 

apps and software out there just waiting to 

be discovered. I’ve especially fallen in love 

with collaboration tools which can help me 

complete a host of project management tasks. 

What I learned was mindboggling and I realise 

now that we haven’t even really scratched the 

surface of these amazing tools and how useful 

they can be.” 

Having now completed a New Zealand 

Certificate in Computing (Advanced User), 

Thomas is considering further study and 

possibly a complete career change. “I’m keeping 

my options open but a future in IT is becoming 

more likely for me with every passing day.” 

His advice for anyone else considering 

the computing courses at Ara Connect is to 

just go for it. “You have the chance to add an 

invaluable credential to your CV, and the Level 

3 and 4 certificates are a great way to prepare 

for further study in any subject. Knowing how 

to use computers in a way that delivers results 

can make life so much easier, especially in the 

world of business. I certainly wish I’d taken 

courses like these two decades ago. My advice 

is to pluck up the courage and just go for it.”

Tasty Bites 

Rest cooked meat before serving 

There are very good 

reasons for leaving meat 

to rest. In the cooking 

process, the proteins in 

meat set, meaning that 

the juices all go to the 

middle and the outer 

part effectively dries 

out. When you rest the 

meat it cools just enough 

for those juices to be 

redistributed and the 

outside becomes moist 

and tender again. For a 

200gm piece of steak, 

rest it for six to 10min. 

Leave it uncovered in 

a warm part of the 

kitchen, perhaps over a 

stovetop. Larger pieces, 

such as roasts, rest for up 

to 30min covered with 

tinfoil

Girl A 

by Abigail Dean 

Lex Gracie doesn’t want to think about her family. She doesn’t want to think 

about growing up in her parents’ House of Horrors. And she doesn’t want 

to think about her identity as Girl A: the girl who escaped. When her mother 

dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can’t 

run from her past any longer. Together with her sister, Evie, Lex intends to 

turn the House of Horrors into a force for good. But first she must come to 

terms with her six siblings – and with the childhood they shared. 

Beautifully written and incredibly powerful, Girl A is a story of redemption, 

of horror, and of love.

the chicken legs into drumsticks 

and thighs. 

Rub the pieces all over with 

olive oil, then with cinnamon 

and turmeric and season well 

with salt and pepper. 

Place the chicken in an oven 

pan and drizzle with liquid 

honey. Arrange the lemon slices 

over the chicken pieces. 

Surround the chicken pieces 

with the chicken stock, bay 

leaves and olives. Cover with foil 

and bake for 40min. 

Remove covering and bake 

for a further 40min until the 

chicken is golden brown and 

cooked through. 

Test by putting a sharp knife 

into the thickest part of the thigh 

to the bone – if the juices run 

clear, then the chicken is cooked.

Toyota Hilux a ute for all the team 

DURING THE summer months 

my weekends start quite busy. 

You see, I’m the coach of a team 

of young cricketers, and watching 

the 11 and 12-year-olds playing 

sport and enjoying themselves is 

something I’m very passionate 

about. 

It’s not always easy for the 

parents to be transporting their 

children to the games, and I’m 

often picking up or dropping off 

as circumstances dictate. Just 

recently I had three boys to pick 

up – and all of their kit, along 

with my gear bag. Thankfully, I 

was driving a double-cab Toyota 

Hilux pick-up, the rear deck area 

was well utilised and with four-up 

inside we were all comfortable, 

there’s as much space in a doublecab 

ute as there is any modern 

mainstream car. 

There’s a new Hilux in dealers’ 

showrooms now and it has had 

a fairly hefty makeover for 2021, 

notably more power under the 

bonnet, better economy, and a 

heap of cosmetic changes that 

continue to give the ute buyer 

more of a traditional driving 

experience. 

The latest to come my way was 

the range-topping SR5 Cruiser. 

Hilux buyers of the past will relate 

to the high-grade interior of the 

SR5; the Cruiser adds even more 

spec, it is high on fitment. Major 

items to note are keyless entry 

and ignition, satellite navigation 

(8in touch screen), full leather 

trim with heated front seats, 

electrically adjustable front seats 

and superb JBL audio. There’s 

also a lot of cosmetic detail in the 

Cruiser variant, there are piano 

black trim details, charcoal and 

matte black exterior trim items 

and, of course, Cruiser graphics. 

That’s a package that will lure 

those who like their utes to stand 

out in a crowd, it’s not overly 

invasive visually but it will draw 

attention, the test car was painted 

black as well, and it showed real 

presence. 

A lot of the latter goes to down 

to the big wheels, at 18in they are 

an inch in diameter bigger than 

its SR5 stablemate, and that also 

has grip advantages. 

All SR5 models are four-wheeldrive 

capable, in-cabin switch 

gear gives you a multitude of 

options if or when you do leave a 

sealed surface. 

During my testing time I left 

the highway just for a short burst 

alongside the Waimakariri River, 

there’s a nice track that runs 

parallel for several kilometres, 

but caution and awareness are the 

key ingredients for many motorcyclists 

fulfil their recreational 

needs on those tracks. 

Off-road the Hilux’s 

mechanical elements provide 

surety in the loose, and it is 

RUGGED: The Toyota Hilux SR5 Cruiser can handle a 

payload of around 940kg. 

TOYOTA HILUX SR5 CRUISER: Working and recreational role. 

competent and capable when 

elevation is presented. 

Just like the multitude of pickups 

in this part of the market, the 

Hilux gets a leaf spring-located 

live rear axle. While this may 

seem primitive it is by far the best 

suspension for a load-bearing 

model. It works pretty well, there 

is a major articulation on uneven 

ground and that gives the best 

possible chance of keeping wheel 

contact to the ground. 

At city speeds the big Dunlop 

Grandtrek tyres (265/60) soak 

up the bumps and ruts, and 

there are still plenty of those in 

Christchurch, there is a little 

jiggle over the worst of it but, 

by and large, the suspension is 

supple and absorbent and that’s a 

combination hard to get right in 

a model that is also destined for a 

working role. 

On that subject, the payload 

capacity of the SR5 cruiser is 

940kg, and like all Hilux models 

will haul up to 3500kg on the 

towbar. 

Taking care of the load is 

Toyota’s uprated four-cylinder 

turbocharged diesel engine, 

power is now up to 150kW from 

130kW and, more importantly, 

torque has been boosted to 

500Nm from 420Nm, increases 

of 15 per cent and 11 per cent 

respectively and, what’s more, 

the torque pattern has been 

broadened providing much 

greater mid-range response and 

• Price – Toyota Hilux SR5 

Cruiser, $58,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5325mm; width, 1900mm; 

height, 1815mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2755cc, 150kW, 500Nm, 

six-speed automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

10.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.9l/100km 

pulling power. 

Driving through a sixspeed 

automatic transmission, 

the engine feels willing and 

comfortable, it doesn’t throb 

unnecessarily, and even when 

hauling to the red line it is well 

boosted without turbo lag. 

Not only has Toyota got the 

engine to work with a broader 

power spread, it is also far more 

fuel efficient, by 11 per cent to 

exact. 

The 2755cc unit is now rated 

with a combined cycle average 

of 7.9l/100km compared to 

9l/100km of the previous model. 

By my calculations, over time 

that would lead to considerable 

savings if you are a user who 

spends much time on a daily 

basis behind the wheel. 

When I took the Cruiser back 

to the dealership the fuel usage 

readout was sitting at 8.9l/100km, 

which wasn’t that far distant to 

Toyota’s claims, and was good 

given that I spent a lot of distance 

travelling and commuting at city 

speeds. On the highway you can 

expect a 7l/100km instantaneous 

reading with the engine loping 

over casually at just 1800rpm. 

At highway speed the Hilux 

cruises gently and isn’t a handful 

when the long straights run 

out. On 18in wheels there is 

considerable steering feel, and 

that’s a hard thing to get right 

when there’s a host of rugged 

mechanical elements sitting 

underneath. 

Composure in a corner is 

acceptable and stability at the 

rear end is enhanced due to a 

comprehensive traction control 

system. 

Toyota has never sat back and 

let sales take care of themselves. 

As a company it is constantly 

refining and further developing 

product. The Hilux is a classic 

example of that, and while 

it gets the benefits of further 

specification enhancements, 

it has also had the mechanical 

upgrades that will keep it as one 

of the Kiwi favourites in the pickup 

market. 

With 17 models to choose 

from there’s a truck for all 

requirements, the SR5 Cruiser 

tempting the discerning buyer, 

one who likes just a little bit more 

in a ute without going to hyper, 

although I’m sure with Toyota’s 

extensive aftermarket option 

packages that could be arranged.
