Lyttelton residents 

up in arms over 

Ōtautahi 

flags on 

port streets 

• By Samantha Mythen 

LYTTELTON residents are 

concerned over the new 

Ōtautahi and Christchurchnamed 

flags lining the port’s 

streets. 

The flags were recently put 

up as part of ChristchurchNZ’s 

overall city image work. 

ChristchurchNZ is the city 

council’s tourism, marketing 

and economic development 

arm. 

People say the flags should 

reflect the area with wording of 

Lyttelton and Ōhinehou, Lyttelton’s 

te reo Māori name. 

Feedback from local residents 

grabbed the attention of Banks 

Peninsula Ward city councillor 

and Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner. 

Turner has lived in Lyttelton 

since 2003. 

“Lyttelton is distinct 

from Christchurch, both 

geographically and culturally; 

it is a Banks Peninsula town 

not a Christchurch suburb. It’s 

similar to Akaroa, despite 

being part of the wider 

Christchurch City Council 

area,” he said. 

The most important issue 

to Turner is respecting Māori 

culture.

Walkway accessing marina open 

YOU CAN now walk, cycle, 

run or scooter directly from 

Norwich Quay in Lyttelton to 

Te Ana Marina. 

The pathway from Norwich 

Quay along Sutton Quay 

includes two pedestrian 

crossings. This creates a 

direct link from Lyttelton to 

Te Ana Marina, Canterbury’s 

only walk-on floating 

marina. 

The new development is 

part of Lyttelton Port Company’s 

commitment to open 

the west side of the harbour 

as a space for the community 

to enjoy. 

When the project was announced 

last year, Deputy 

Mayor and city councillor for 

the Banks Peninsula Ward 

Andrew Turner said he was 

excited to see the Lyttelton 

community gain additional 

access to the waterfront. 

“Whakaraupō/Lyttelton 

Harbour is a special place to 

many people. 

“I’m looking forward to 

seeing more families and 

visitors down on the waterfront 

this summer – this is 

the perfect spot for a picnic, a 

walk along the promenade or 

a chance to take in the stunning 

harbour views.” 

LPC’s general manager engagement 

and sustainability 

Phil de Joux said since Te 

Ana Marina was opened by 

the port in 2018, it has been 

fantastic to see the community 

use the recreational area as 

a space to connect and enjoy. 

“Before the pathway was 

in place, there was no pedestrian 

access from Sutton 

Quay to Te Ana Marina, 

meaning people either used 

the stairs from Simeon 

Quay to the back of Te Ana 

Marina, or walked down to 

Godley Quay. 

“We’re thrilled to be able to 

make accessing Te Ana Marina 

that little bit easier for the 

community and visitors to 

Lyttelton, and look forward 

to seeing more people enjoy 

the waterfront.” 

Due to the construction of 

the pathway, the Sutton Quay 

gate has been relocated. This 

gate is used by a number of 

port operators to access inner 

harbour operations such as 

fishing vessels. 

Vehicles will still use Sutton 

Quay to access the port 

and users of the walkway are 

being told to follow signage 

in place and to stay alert 

when using the crossings. 

CONVENIENT: Lyttelton resident 

Annabel, 10, (right) who lives on the 

west side of the harbour, can use 

the new path to walk to school, as 

well as visit her friend Lulu, 10, who 

lives in Lyttelton. 

Retaining wall 

work to start 

ROADWORKS along Simeon Quay 

and Coleridge Tce in Lyttelton are 

set to cause disruption for the next 

few months. 

Work will start early next month 

to replace the ageing retaining wall 

that supports part of Simeon Quay. 

A new concrete wall will be put in 

place and the quay will be partially 

reconstructed. It is expected to take 

between four to six months to complete, 

weather dependent. 

City council head of transport, 

Richard Osborne said: “The 

contractor is going to have crews 

working around the clock on the 

project. On some nights, Simeon 

Quay will be reduced to one lane 

and traffic will be controlled by 

stop/go signs. This will cause 

delays, particularly for west-bound 

traffic.” 

A retaining wall supporting 

Coleridge Tce will also be replaced 

starting in February, expected to 

take around 16 weeks to complete. 

During this time, access to the terrace 

will only be via the west end, 

by London St. 

A traffic management plan will 

be put in place and road users are 

being told to expect delays. 

“If you live in Lyttelton or travel 

through the area, please bear that 

in mind as you may need to factor 

some extra journey time into your 

plans,” said Osborne.

Extra care called for after rescues 


BEWARE OF rips. Swim 

between the flags. Know your 

limits. 

That is the message from the 

Taylors Mistake and Sumner 

Surf Life Saving Clubs as temperatures 

soar this week. 

It comes after two people 

were lucky not to have died in 

separate incidents at Taylors 

Mistake on Sunday, 

January 17. 

Instead they 

were saved by 

the quick thinking 

of the club 

team members. 

Tisha 

Bradley 

The first 

rescue happend 

in the early 

afternoon, with the conditions 

changing drastically as the tide 

went out. The second rescue 

happened at 4.50pm, with 

10min left until the volunteers 

usually retire for the day. 

In both instances, the swimmers 

were taken to hospital by 

ambulance. 

After the rescues, the 

lifeguards carried out 

preventative actions; moving 

the flags, advising swimmers 

of where the rips were running 

and working in the water to 

direct people away. 

Surf club captain Tisha Bradley 

said: “These actions mitigated 

the risk of mishap and 

the need for further rescues. 

“We are hugely proud of the 

work of the rostered patrol 

team on Sunday, as well as the 

additional members who recognised 

the growing risks on 

the beach and joined with the 

existing patrol to ensure that 

we had an increased capacity. 

“This was a wonderful example 

of the club coming together 

as one to keep our community 

safe. We are a humble wee club, 

but in these moments we 

are super proud of how our 

volunteers respond in difficult 

situations.” 

The club would also like to 

thank the public who acknowledged 

their efforts on Sunday. 

“It means a lot to us when 

the community acknowledges 

our volunteers and the valuable 

work that they do,” said 

Bradley. 

Meanwhile, Sumner Surf 

Life Saving Club was awarded 

second place in the BP Rescue 

of the Month awards for a 

rescue in December. 

Twenty-seven swimmers 

were rescued from a rip in 10 

minutes. 

The winners are selected 

by the national lifesaving

vouchers. 

Further water 

restrictions 

WATER restrictions have been 

increased from level 2 to level 

3 for Akaroa, Duvauchelle and 

Takamatua as increasingly hot and 

windy conditions put pressure on 

water supplies. 

Level 3 restrictions means 

hand-held hosing only on alternate 

days, with no outdoor water 

use on any day between 3-9pm. 

Unattended hoses, sprinklers, and 

garden irrigation systems are not 

permitted at any time. 

Akaroa’s cumulative rainfall this 

year is the lowest it has been in a 

decade, putting extra pressure on 

the town’s water supply which it 

shares with Takamatua. Its current 

total rainfall for the year sits at 

about half the 10-year average. 

Water is being used from backup 

bores and from streams. 

“But in order to ensure a fair 

and uninterrupted water supply to 

people living, working and visiting 

in the areas, we need to further 

reduce the demand by moving to 

Level 3 water restrictions,” a city 

council spokeswoman said. 

Residents at odd-numbered 

addresses can water lawns or 

gardens before 3pm or after 9pm 

on odd dates (1st, 3rd, 15th, etc), 

while residents at even-numbered 

addresses can water before 3pm or 

after 9pm on even dates.

yoga pose 

of the month 

Standing Leg Raise 

Standing Leg Raise is a great pose to build 

balance, posture, length in your hamstrings 

and strength in your hip flexors. 

1. Stand upright with your feet together. 

2. Draw your right knee up towards your chest 

and lightly hold your right knee with your 

right hand. Use the strength of your leg 

more than the strength of your hand to hold 

your right leg up. If you are more flexible, 

bind the outer edge of your right foot and 

extend your right leg straight forward in 

front of you. 

3. Straighten your left leg by engaging your 

thigh muscles to the bone. 

4. Draw the pit of your belly in towards your 

spine. 

5. Expand your chest and upper back. 

6. If you are holding your foot, draw your right 

shoulder straight back level with your left 

shoulder. 

7. Straighten your 

back, hold your head 

high and set your gaze 

straight in front of you. 

8. After 5 breaths, turn your 

right leg out towards the 

right side of your room and 

turn your head to face the 

left. 

9. Keep your hips level in this 

second stage. Do not hike 

your right hip higher than 

your left hip. 

10. After five more 

breaths return 

your right leg straight forward, lower your 

right foot to the earth and repeat the pose 

on the other leg. 

In Standing Leg Raise, build a blend of strength and mobility in your legs, align your body neutrally 

and generate a sense of confidence that permeates from your bones and radiates out to your skin 

and beyond.

As we are right in the

should think about using 

water wisely. Water early 

morning as this prevents 

it from evaporating in 

the heat 

It’s very sunny at the 

moment which means 

plants will be growing faster 

than usual so fertilising 

now is recommended both 

with liquid and granular 

fertilisers.

• From page 1 

“The main issue is the appropriateness 

of Ōtautahi, as the 

name for Christchurch, being 

used beyond the traditional 

Christchurch area and expanding 

into Banks Peninsula, especially 

when Lyttelton is Ōhinehou and 

the harbour is Te Whakaraupō.” 

Turner discussed the community’s 

concerns with ChristchurchNZ 

this week. 

“I asked ChristchurchNZ to 

take advice and consider whether 

the use of the specific Ōtautahi 

flags are appropriate for Lyttelton. 

And if not, then they need 

to decide what flags should fly 

instead.’’ 


AKAROA RESIDENTS are also 

embroiled in a debate over its 

name. 

A call has been made to add 

‘wh’ to Akaroa. 

Ngāi Tahu kaumatua Sir 

Tipene O’Regan said early 

surveyors to the land had been 

unable to distinguish the soft 

‘wh’ and because of this, it was 

often missed when spelling 

Akaroa on colonial maps. 

The original name means 

‘Long Harbour.’

‘The council should have consulted with the local iwi’ 

A ChristchurchNZ spokesperson 

said: “We are looking at 

options in regards to the street 

banners in Lyttelton, and are yet 

to undertake any actions.” 

When asked previously by 

Bay Harbour News if it would 

replace the Ōtautahi flags, the 

spokesperson said: “This activity 

is not budgeted for this financial 

year, nor is the future design and 

installation of suburb-specific 

banners.” 

ChristchurchNZ said it recognised 

“the individual culture 

of Ōhinehou Lyttelton and the 

vibrant community that call it 

home.” 

“However for planning and 

marketing purposes, it is considered 

a suburb of the city of 

Ōtautahi Christchurch.” 

The total cost to manufacture 

the banners to cover core city 

sites was $22,134 plus GST. 

This issue has been a large 

talking point in the Lyttelton 

community. 

Said Lyttelton Harbour Business 

Association chairwoman 

Vicki Tahau-Paton: “The council 

should have consulted with the 

local iwi before putting up a 

generic name.” 

Said Malcome Carne: “I would 

prefer to see Lyttelton on the 

flags. We have our own separate 

identity and physicality. The flag 

issue is about keeping separate 

rather than making Lyttelton a 

suburb.” 

Said Rob De Thier: “It would be 

nice to see the flags replaced with 

Lyttelton and Ōhinehou. It has 

always been the port of Lyttelton 

with its own special identity.” 

Several people mentioned the 

importance of Lyttelton flags so 

those visiting would be able to 

identify the town. 

Said Sachin Jacob: “The flags 

should say Lyttelton, so everyone 

who visits can clearly recognise it 

as that.’’ 

Said Charlotte Bruce: “Because 

of the strong community perspective 

here, it makes sense for 

the flags to say Lyttelton. It’s a 

destination place. Lyttelton locals 

are proud of their home. 

“It would be cool to see a 

mixture of place names on 

the flags, with both Lyttelton, 

Christchurch and the Maori 

translations.” 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member, Reuben Davidson, 

would also like to see the 

flags changed. 

“Lyttelton has a strong identity 

which we are proud of; both 

locals and visitors want to 

celebrate this. Also, of primary 

consideration, is the need to 

honour the correct Māori name 

for our special place,” he said. 

Call to change Akaroa’s name by adding ‘wh’ 

canvassed Akaroa residents. 

Said Rob Harris: “There 

is no need to change it as no 

one knows it by the other 

name.’’ 

Said Lurlene Roddick: “I don’t 

understand why everything has 

to be changed from what it 

has been known as to a word 

more difficult to pronounce. 

We should understand culture 

and know our history, but we 

are a very multi-cultural 

country.” 

Said Michael Springer: “It 

is time to fully celebrate and 

acknowledge those hundreds of 

years of people living here. You 

only have to open your eyes and 

notice all the fortified hill sights 

to wonder at all the history, 

rather than making it all about 

a brief moment of when it might 

have been French.” 

Said Grant Wylie: “I think it 

respects a place more to call it by 

its original and most meaningful 

version, and not what a colonist 

with a bad ear for the Ngai Tahu 

dialect or te reo Maori more 

generally recorded as is.” 

Said Mal Stanley: “I think we 

should embrace the te reo names 

for all places in Aoetearoa, 

and correct pronunciation is 

something to aspire to for all of 

us.” 

Another resident, Wayne Allan 

Webb, suggested having signs 

with both versions.

Children’s 

learning 

inspires 

artwork 


SUMNER creatives, Alex and 

Andy Collins, are showcasing 

their quirky handcrafted 

wooden toys at the Rock, a 

charitable church community. 

The couple design and craft 

toys and 

then 

display 

them as 3D 

textured 

paintings. 

The toys 

on display are all original pieces 

under their brand Baby Groova 

Goods. 

“We are inspired by our passion 

for children’s learning and 

development, story telling and 

our love for nature and the environment,” 

said Andy. 

Andy is a preschool teacher 

and Alex, his wife, is a primary 

school teacher. They have been 

living in Sumner for two years. 

Pairing Alex’s creative streak 

with Andy’s interest in art and 

wood, each toy is handcrafted. 

The exhibition runs at 10 

Wakefield Ave, until the last 

week of February. 

Community board outlines priorities 


UPGRADING wharves, 

sourcing funding for the new 

Naval Point development, and 

long-term planning are just 

some of the priorities the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

has in the coming months. 

Five main themes are set to be 

prioritised early this year. 

The board 

must finalise 

its Long 

Term Plan 

for the next 

three years by 

June. The city 

council can 

then lock in 

Tori Peden 

the allocated 

budget for the 

area. 

After the Naval Point 

Development Plan was approved 

by the board in December, the 

next step will focus on sourcing 

funds and then deciding how to 

implement the plan. 

The Diamond Harbour wharf 

is set to see upgrades and a 

new flotation structure put in 

place, aiming to solve continued 

accessibility issues experienced 

by ferry passengers. 

Receiving feedback on 

upgrades for the Akaroa wharf 

will also be a priority. The 

UPGRADE: The Banks Peninsula Community Board is looking at options for the Akaroa 

wharf. 

board is looking to put together 

different options for the wharf, 

taking into consideration 

heritage and environmental 

concerns. This will then be 

presented to the public. 

Board chairwoman Tori Peden 

said: “We want to know what the 

community wants to see.” 

The final primary focus for the 

board will be working alongside 

the Banks Peninsula community 

and the ChristchurchNZ 

tourism portfolio to create a 

destination management plan 

for the area. 

“Locals are taking up the 

advice to shop local and explore 

local, meaning tourism is still 

an important resource. I have 

lived in the Banks Peninsula for 

19 years and this summer was 

my first time taking my kids out 

to see the hector’s dolphins in 

Akaroa,” said Peden. 

“We want to use this time 

to investigate tourism in the 

region and how it impacts the 

community, taking a holistic 

view on how to move 

forward.” 

If people would like to share 

your views with the community 

board, monthly meetings are 

held around the peninsula, said 

Peden. 

“Myself and the other board 

members like to get out and 

about as much as possible. Please 

approach us with your cool ideas 

and we can chat about how the 

board can support you.”

A GROUP of philanthropic ex-business 

owners are seeking to help young 

people in schools within the Sumner- 

Ferrymead suburbs fulfil their academic 

achievements with a new monetary 

award. 

The Sumner Ferrymead Foundation, 

a charity aiming to support its local 

community, has created the Te Raekuru 

Puawai (flourish) Awards. 

Te Raekura Redcliffs School was the 

first school in the area to introduce the 

awards late last year. 

Three year 8 pupils, Luke Jansen, Lotta 

Bennett and Maddison Parker were the 

fortunate recipients, each excelling in 

different subjects being sport, reading and 

maths respectively. 

The award money is to be used for educational 

purposes. All three pupils chose 

to put the funds towards the purchase of 

a new computer, a useful choice as they 

transition into high school this year. 

Trustee John Christensen, said: 

“Transitioning from primary to 

secondary school is not an inexpensive 

exercise for parents so if the foundation 

can help with an educational grant, then 

it makes total sense. I am delighted the 

awards are being used for purchasing 

technology.” 

The foundation is hoping to expand the 

award to other primary schools within 

their catchment area. 

Another trustee Jane Paterson said: 

“We want to give kids every opportunity 

so they can flourish and thrive. They are 

the future and it’s about creating a cycle 

where the more mature locals can help 

the young generations. Then in 30-40 

years, they will give back and the cycle 

will continue.” 

The foundation also helped Te Raekura 

Redcliffs School to purchase more reading 

books to be used in their MSL (multisensory 

structured language) programme. 

Internationally, MSL is recognised as the 

“science behind people learning to read”. 

The school had chosen to pilot the MSL 

approach to combat the low literacy rates 

increasingly seen in New Zealand, and 

since its success, it has now been rolled 

out to all pupils. 

While the MSL approach is considered 

essential for more than 50 per cent of 

children (including those with dyslexia), 

even the 40 per cent who find learning 

to read relatively easy benefit from the 

approach too. 

The foundation has a grant system and 

any school or young person can approach 

it and apply for funding of academic or 

sporting goals. 

Paterson said: “Education opens doors.”

Start-up support for Covid-19 

impacted jobseekers 

• By Simon Anderson 

IT’S THAT TIME of year when 

everyone is thinking about what 

they want to achieve in 2021. 

I think we’d all rather forget 

2020 but for some it’s not so easy. 

Many people have lost jobs, had 

to reduce hours or change their 

employment situation and are still 

feeling the blow that Covid-19 

has dealt our economy and 

community. 

As an indicator, in November 

2019 there were 13,656 jobseeker 

support recipients in Canterbury 

compared to 21,057 in November 

2020, an increase of 7400 

recipients. 

If you’re one of these people 

or were unemployed prior to the 

pandemic – and are thinking of 

starting your own business, we 

can help. 

ChristchurchNZ is helping identify opportunities for people to reskill and move into other sectors 

Higher unemployment impacts 

more significantly on those in 

lower skilled roles and our 

vulnerable populations – Māori; 

Pasifika; young people not in 

employment, education or 

training; and our long-term 

How do you start your 

own 

unemployed. 

business? 

Start Me Up is a business 

skills kick-starter programme 

aimed at people whose work has 

been impacted by the pandemic 

and are currently, or soon to 

be, registered as unemployed. 

It is also open to those who 

were – school unemployed leavers, prior tertiary to the 

pandemic. 

It has been specifically designed 

to guide people who are thinking 

about starting a business but don’t 

know where to begin. 

Māori From catering and industry. to digital 

marketing to selling handcrafted 

goods, business ideas of all 

kinds are welcomed – but the 

programme is not limited to 

those that have an idea. 

If you’ve ever thought of 

starting your own business, we 

would definitely encourage you to 

sign up to the programme. Even 

if you haven’t got an idea, we 

can help you work through the 

process of coming up with one. 

There are two parts to the 

programme – the first is an online 

short course exploring what it’s 

like to start a business and be 

self-employed. The online classes 

will cover topics such as who 

your customers could be, what 

problem your business will solve, 

how to structure the business, 

how to get sales and measure 

your progress. 

Having completed the online 

programme, 25 participants who 

want to get serious about building 

their business will be selected for 

an in-person Accelerator. 

The Accelerator will follow the 

same framework introduced in 

part 1, but will drill deeper in on 

each component to help create a 

more in-depth business plan that 

can be used to get started, to get 

funding or simply as a guide for 

you in your next steps. 

And what are we doing? 

We are supporting the journey 

for labour market priority groups 

graduates, NEET (young people 

not in employment, education or 

training), impacted workers, 

To ensure work isn’t duplicated, 

and to identify gaps, we are 

mapping the support available 

from iwi, central and local 

government agencies, our 

education providers, charitable 

trusts, and other support groups. 

Impact projects can then be 

delivered to provide support 

where needed. 

It is critical we ensure our 

community has access to the 

information they need, and is 

aware of the help available. 

ChristchurchNZ is developing 

regional information resources 

and working to ensure this gets 

into the hands of those who 

Online classes with local experts will cover the 

fundamentals of starting a business. 

need it. 

Access to the best 

support in town 

Both the online and in-person 

components will give participants 

access to support across the city’s 

network to help make their idea a 

success. 

This will include a team of 

successful entrepreneurs, mentors 

and start-up experts – people 

that have all been there and done 

it before and can share their 

experiences, both the highs and 

the lows with you. 

If you are selected to take 

part in the Accelerator, your 

business plan will be reviewed 

by a Westpac loan specialist to 

see if it is eligible for a business 

loan. If it isn’t, you may be eligible 

for support to get your business 

started from the Ministry of 

Social Development. However, 

there’s no guarantees you’ll 

receive funding as a result of 

taking part in the programme. 

Don’t just take it from me 

Lisa Schmidt has already 

submitted her application for 

Start Me Up and is excited about 

the opportunities the programme 

will provide. 

Lisa is an artist and has a 

passion for creating sustainable 

artwork made from natural 

elements or repurposed goods 

(pictured). When a recent 

business venture selling her art 

didn’t work out financially, Lisa 

realised that working on her 

business skills including how to 

sell and get exposure for her work 

was essential. Lisa is strongly 

connected to Banks Peninsula 

and wishes to continue creating 

her art there and starting an art 

collective with other talented 

local female artists. 

Why are we doing it? 

Start Me Up is a collaboration 

between ChristchurchNZ and the 

Ministry of Social Development 

and is a key action in the 

Ōtautahi Christchurch Recovery 

Plan which sets out the actions 

to make sure our city’s economic 

and social recovery from the 

Covid-19 pandemic is deliberate, 

strong and equitable. 

Give it a go 

Find out more about the 

programme and register online at 

www.startmeup.co.nz 

We are also developing a 

Regional Workforce Plan that 

identifies the skills available and 

needed now and in the future. 

This plan will inform central 

government investment and 

policy in education, immigration 

and community interventions; 

and will enable us to better 

understand what skills 

Christchurch’s future economy 

will require. That in turn will 

allow us to work with education 

providers to ensure the right 

courses are offered. 

In times of recession we generally 

see an increase in people 

choosing to study. 

This is an opportunity to upskill 

Canterbury’s relatively 

poorly-educated workforce for 

our future economy, to generate 

more and better jobs, to increase 

productivity, and to raise living 

standards and wellbeing. 

We are supporting Ngāi Tahu’s 

development of an iwi skills hub 

that will create stronger pathways 

for young Māori into tertiary 

education and skilled jobs. 

Among other projects, we are 

working with education partners 

and mana whenua to increase 

aspiration and participation of 

students in low-decile schools in

The Footwear Factory in Garlands

Christchurch retail scene for more than a 

quarter of a century. 

Over that time thousands of people have 

flocked to the store to find bargains and

children’s shoes, sandals and school shoes 

to men’s and women’s fashion and casual 

shoes, outdoor and sports shoes, bowls

Launched in a small shop in Papanui, the 

business later operated in Riccarton for 12 

years before moving to Garlands Rd 16 years 

ago. 

Owned by Russ and Jude Day, there you

huge variety of styles and colours for men,

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Flying boats suggested for estuary 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai 

Trust is a non-profit organisation 

formed to protect one of New 

Zealand’s most important coastal 

wetlands. Each week, board 

members will discuss matters 

regarding the estuary, its rich history 

and what makes it unique. This 

week Bill Simpson writes about 

how the estuary could have been a 

flying boat base 

THE BIRDS of the estuary are 

one of the city’s great treasures. 

But 72 years ago there could 

easily have been wings over the 

estuary of a very noisy kind. 

In post-war years, Christchurch 

wanted regular flights to 

Australia. In Auckland, the large 

four-engine Sandringham flying 

boats flew in from Sydney and 

landed in Waitemata Harbour 

close to the city centre. 

The Sandringhams were 

originally war-time Sunderland 

flying boats converted to carry 

30 passengers. Eyes were cast on 

the Avon-Heathcote Estuary as 

a possible South Island base for 

these sea-planes. 

TEAL was upgrading its fleet 

and replacing the Sandringhams 

with Solents; these new planes 

could carry 45 passengers. 

Christchurch desperately 

wanted a transtasman aviation 

link. Harewood could be 

extended, but this would cost 

money for the extra land, or the 

estuary could be used as a flying 

boat base. 

It did not take too much expertise 

to quickly realise that the 

estuary was unsuitable as a port 

for these large sea-planes. 

Although some channels may 

have been deep enough, the 

estuary was generally too shallow 

and there were not enough 

multi-directional channels to 

cope with planes landing from 

the various angles dictated by 

variable winds. 

So the city council bought land 

to lengthen the Harewood strip. 

TEAL used DC4s and then DC6s 

to fly regular services to Sydney 

and Melbourne. 

The future lay with land-based 

planes because they could carry 

heavier payloads at faster speeds. 

MAJESTIC: Christchurch was keen for a transtasman aviation link to Sydney but 

complications arose when the estuary was deemed not deep enough for the 

Sandringham flying boats. 

For aviation buffs the prospect 

of flying boats landing close to 

the city would have been a dream 

come true; but for residents 

wanting to enjoy the tranquillity 

of estuary-side living, just 

the wings of terns, godwits and 

oystercatchers are quite enough, 

thank you.

Ford’s hot hatchback brings back the youth 

I DON’T like being referred to 

as old. 

Sure, as a pensioner, I’m aged 

in the senior demographic but 

I’d like to think I’m still relatively 

youthful, and when I’m presented 

with an exciting sports car to 

evaluate, my persona changes to 

someone much younger. 

Just like when I was presented 

with the keys to Ford’s Focus ST, a 

traditional hot hatchback charger 

that is an absolute screamer when 

allowed to breathe freely. I felt 

well in control of the beast, and 

such is its all-round adaptability 

it also doubles as a useful fourdoor, 

five-seater for when your 

grandkids need transporting, and 

I also think they would feel quite 

proud when seated in the stroppy 

sports car. 

At $59,900, the Focus ST sits 

competitively with other hot 

hatchback models yet it carries 

all of the practicality the Focus 

has as a series, it is easy to drive 

and doesn’t present any special 

challenges. 

The ST gets a 2.3-litre turbocharged, 

four-cylinder engine 

which gets about its job with 

strong engine sound and character. 

I’m not saying it is noisy, it’s 

not; the sound is well isolated but 

it is there to be heard, the engine 

is angry under load and it is a 

sound that encourages throttle 

use, it is pleasant to listen to. 

Ford claims healthy outputs of 

206kW and 420Nm, providing 

the impetus for a 6.4sec standstill 

to 100km/h time. 

As mentioned, you don’t need to 

drive the ST in performance mode 

all of the time, it is happy to dawdle 

traffic and during my weekday 

commute I was comfortable in it 

and felt right at ease, although you 

do get the impression it is keen to 

get some movement going. 

Power is directed through a 

paddle-shift seven-speed automatic 

transmission to the front 

wheels. Shifts are smooth and the 

ratios are also structured to meet 

the demands of fuel-conscious 

buyers. 

Ford claims an 8.6l/100km 

combined cycle fuel usage average 

for the ST. The trip computer 

was showing around 10l/100km 

when I took the car back to the 

dealership. It will also return a 

5.4l/100km instantaneous reading 

at 100km/h (engine speed 

1500rpm), which means you can 

have some fun without scoffing 

vast amounts of fuel. 

I took the test car on a Mid- 

Canterbury loop, they are perfect 

roads for a performance car. 

English Fords have generally been 

regarded as having supple chassis 

balance and the ST doesn’t disappoint, 

it simply dances through 

the suspension. It also rockets 

between corners with a powerful 

surge and swift retardation, 

thanks to a performance brake 

package. 

Grippy Michelin Sport tyres 

(235/35 x 19in) turn in precisely 

with little steering effort but solid 

steering feedback. Gravitational 

changes don’t load the tyres, nor 

does it affect the way the suspension 

operates in a corner; if 

uneven surfaces are encountered 

there is composure and certainty 

within the steering process. 

The ST stands out with its bold 

FORD FOCUS ST: 

Fantastic red 

paintwork and big 

rear spoiler stand 

out and hints at a 

performance package. 

wheels, body kit and spoiler, 

while on the inside Recaro seats 

not only support the driver 

around the mid-riff, but they are 

visual. The test car was painted 

bright red, described by Ford as 

fantastic red, red ST logos embossed 

on the front seats complement 

the exterior colour. 

The Focus ST is a fun package, 

yet has practicality on its side. It 

comes extensively equipped with 

all of the items you’d expect today 

for comfort and convenience, and 

safety. 

If you are up with the play 

• Price – Ford Focus ST, 

$59,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4388mm; width, 1979mm; 

height, 1492mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

2261cc, 206kW, 

420Nm, seven-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 6.4sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km 

technology-wise, the Focus 

as a series also has all of the 

functionality to keep you happy. 

The entire range has just had 

a refresh, there’s more kit for 

connectivity and there is an 

increased level of electronic safety 

spec. 

These features not only provide 

extra value, convenience and 

surety, but they contribute to 

the special feeling you get every 

time you are in the car, you will 

be smiling every time you drive 

it and it will certainly make you 

feels years younger.

is very dangerous. Call us about disconnecting the power, 

it might cost a bit more, but it could well save your life. 

You’re our priority. 

Orion operates, and maintains, the electricity distribution network
