Land sale
off the
cards
for now
• By Samantha Mythen
THE CITY council has listened
to the Diamond Harbour
community’s opposition to the
sale of land in their area – and has
removed it from
the Long Term
Plan.
This means
the community
will be consulted
before the land,
running between
village housing
and Bay View
Rd, described as
27 Hunters Rd Tori Peden
and 42 Where
Ave, is approved for sale.
Said Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman Tori
Peden: “It is great this is now going
to the community and we look
forward to being a part of that
consultation process as well.”
The board supported residents’
requests that separate consultation
with the community be
undertaken before the potential
sale of the land. Originally, the
land was set for fast track disposal
without further consultation.

GOOD LUCK to those
brave souls known as the
Scarborough Dippers who
will be going for a dip or
swim every day during July
(see page 8).
And we’re not talking a
dip at the New Brighton hot
pools. Yes these hardy, brave,
admirable souls or whatever
else you would like to call
them target the real deal –
the sea.
The group has about 40
members and founder Kerry
Newton expects there will be
20 regular starters during its
annual Wet July Challenge.
They raise money for good
causes like the Taylors Mistake
and Sumner surf clubs.
Newton says there are
many health benefits from
cold water swimming. Those
benefits have gone up many
notches this week as the
temperature plummets.

A 12-MONTH trial for a nonpowered
vessel area in Rāpaki is
likely to be imposed to protect
swimmers and shellfish beds.
On Monday, with the support
of Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke
Rāpaki and the Harbourmaster’s
Office, Isaac Fahey, on behalf of
the Rāpaki community, brought
this proposal to the Banks Peninsula
Community Board.
Fahey said they would like to
see the same ban imposed as seen
in nearby Cass and Corsair bays.
He said it was a safety issue
with the area seeing an increase
in motorised vessels such as jet
skis, which often disobeyed the
five-knot speed limit within
200m from the shore.
“We do not want a death in
our waters,” Fahey told the community
board.
He also said that motorised
vessels were disturbing shellfish
beds, an important source of
food gathering.
They are recommending
the area to the left side of the
Rāpaki boat ramp to Pony Point
become a non-powered vessel
area.
“This is the best decision for
Rāpaki,” said Fahey.
All members of the community
board supported
Fahey’s proposal and the
board said it would write
a letter of support to Environment
Canterbury.
Once ECan receives
this letter of support, it
will decide whether to
put the ban in place.
Navigation safety
officer of the Harbourmaster’s
Office Gary Manch told the
meeting the ban needed the

support of the rūnanga and the

Fahey’s deputation at the community
board meeting was to
garner the community’s support.
“As the community board is
representative of the
wider community, we
look to them for either
support or not for
the area in question,”
Manch said.
If the community
board supported the
idea, Manch said ECan
could move forward on
recognising the area.

In Brief
FIRE CONCERNS REMAIN
Neighbours of Urumau Reserve
near Lyttelton are still worried
about the reserve’s fire risk and
have not seen any response to
the concerns they raised with the
Banks Peninsula Community
Board at the start of March.
The board confirmed it is in
ongoing discussions with the city
council. The board has requested
a progress update from the city
council about its original request
to investigate the neighbours’
concerns.
•Urumau track, page 13
TRAPPED IN VEHICLE
A vehicle crashed at Gardener’s
corner, an s-bend on the road
from Governors Bay to Rāpaki, at
3pm on Saturday. The car rolled
and a person was trapped in the
vehicle. They were assisted by the
Governors Bay Volunteer Fire
Brigade. The person had minor
injuries.
FAIR FUTURE UNCERTAIN
Orton Bradley Park is waiting to
see whether it will be able to host
its annual spring fair. In 2020
funding of $10,000 was provided
for the fair but was not available
this year. An application for
another source of funding was
made to the city council’s events
and festivals sponsorship fund
and a decision is expected back on
July 8.

SPEED LIMITS on Lyttelton’s
streets are likely to be lowered
from 50km/h to 40km/h in a bid
to make the area safer.
This is part of a wider Banks
Peninsula speed limit review
project, with many more roads
in Banks Peninsula also likely to
see changes.
The Banks Peninsula Community
Board approved the
city council’s recommendations
to make these changes to road
speed limits on Monday.
As part of its discussions, the
board has requested Norwich
Quay, which is State Highway
74, also be reduced to 40km/h
for consistency in the port. The
decision on its speed limit lies
with Waka Kotahi New Zealand
Transport Agency, separate to
Lyttelton’s other streets, due to
its state highway status.
During the meeting, Lyttelton
subdivision board member
Tyrone Fields said the speed
reduction of 10km/h would
only add a few more seconds to
driving time.
He also mentioned people usually
cannot drive at 50km/h due
to hazards.
Lyttelton Community Association
chairman Ken Maynard
said the decision would be a
poor use of resources.
“People don’t drive to the
speed limit in the narrow streets

anyway,” he said.
“But the badly behaved drivers
will break the rules anyway. This
is just legislating what should be
people’s good behaviour.”
Lyttelton Harbour
Business Association
chairwoman Vicki
Tahau Paton agreed
and said it is difficult to
drive along some of Lyttelton’s
streets at even
40km/h.
Community board chairwoman
Tori Peden said the project has
been a several stage approach,
with the motive behind it to
increase road user safety in the
multi-hazard areas, as well as providing
a more consistent approach

both 60km/h and 40km/h speed
limits introduced.
Kukupa, near Pigeon Bay, will
have a speed limit reduction to
40km/h from 100km/h.

roads’ will also be set to 60km/h
and 40km/h depending on the
specific road.
The Western Valley Rd route,
Puaha Valley, and roads along
the Southern Bays will all be set
at 60km/h.
Akaroa and Akaroa’s
backcountry roads will be set
at either 40km/h or 60km/h
depending on the specific street
or road involved, including a
standard 40km/h through the
village itself.
The initiative has been
undertaken to support the Waka
Kotahi New Zealand Transport
Agency speed management
guide and its overall road safety
strategy for the next decade.
Consultation on the speed
limit of State Highway 75 and

Centres to
remain open at
reduced capacity
• By Samantha Mythen
THE AKAROA and Lyttelton
service centres will remain open
as decreed in the city council’s
10-year budget.
During consultations on the
city council’s draft Long Term
Plan, it was recommended that
$24,000 be allocated annually to
each of the centres.
This would allow face-to-face
customer service to continue at
half its current capacity.
Said Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman
Tori Peden: “It is great for the
communities to still have these
face-to-face services.
“We are happy with the compromise.”
She said the decision also
meant the community board,
Akaroa community and city
council could look at business
models to help create a service
hub in the village’s service centre
building.
The recommendation comes
after 113 submitters opposed the
service centres’ closure.
Said Christchurch Mayor
Lianne Dalziel: “We have listened
to our community. Some very
clear themes came through in
the submissions which have
influenced the recommendations
I am making.”
SAFER SPEED REVIEW
Christchurch to Akaroa
Have your say on safer speeds
Speed on impact determines if the people in a crash are
killed, injured or walk away unharmed.
Through Road to Zero – New Zealand’s road safety
strategy – we’re working towards a future where no-one
is killed or seriously injured on our roads.
Christchurch to Akaroa is Canterbury’s highest-risk route
– in terms of personal safety – and in New Zealand’s
top 10% where we can make the greatest difference in
reducing road deaths and serious injuries.
Do traffic speeds affect how you use the road?

FOR THREE days in July, the
pride lands of Africa are coming to
Diamond Harbour.
Diamond Harbour School is performing
The Lion King, with four
shows running from Thursday to
Saturday.
Acting deputy principal and the
production’s director Sally Craw
said The Lion King was chosen for
its great songs and the massive
buy-in from the pupils.
It also provided all 130 pupils
with the chance to get involved
with the massive ensemble.
“We have really strong senior
singers and performers and we
wanted to provide the opportunity
for as many kids as possible to
show off their skills,” said Craw.
The junior school is acting
out the grassland scenes and the
middle school is acting as Simba’s
friends, singing alongside him, in
the classic, I Just Can’t Wait to Be
King.
The senior school is in charge of
the lead acting roles and the larger
ensemble.
Craw said the Diamond Harbour
community rallied together
to help produce the show.
“It has been so amazing, the
whole community has pitched in.
Local artists painted the backdrops,
a student’s architect father
built an amazing pride rock, many
parents have helped with sewing

costumes, a photographer mum
has taken photos,” she said.
Craw’s mother helped sew the
costumes of the leading roles, including
three male lions with their
mane’s stitched on one individual
strand at a time, 12 lionesses and
Pumba.
The school sent out a basic pattern
to other parents, “who were
brave enough to volunteer,” and
help sew other costumes, Craw
said.
Homewares store Spotlight has
also given the school discounts on
fabric.
It is the first production
Craw has been solely responsible
for.
“It has been so busy and a big
learning curve. The kids are amazing,
they are so talented and so
motivated and so hard-working,”
she said.
The production has been a part
of the school’s art curriculum.

DEDICATED: Liz Hancock is exhibiting her own art work now that she has retired from teaching.
Ex-teacher focuses on her own art
• By Samantha Mythen
RETIREMENT has allowed
former Sumner art teacher Liz
Hancock the chance to focus
on her own work – and her
first major exhibition in several
decades.
Hancock taught art at Hillmorton
High School for more
than 40 years and led the art
faculty for at least 15 years.
“Teaching art has been a stimulating
path, which has given
me the privilege of meeting and
working with a huge number of
students, colleagues, caregivers
and parents,” she said.
“I have gained so much pleasure
from seeing my students’
love of art grow into wonderful
achievements and it is lovely
when some of them still recognise
me in public.”
However, teaching painting,
design and printmaking to
emerging artists left her with
little time for her own practice.
After retiring at the end of
2018, Hancock has found inspiration
and the right head space
to commit to her own paintings.
“Teaching has been so full-on,
I have exhibited sporadically
over the years, but this is the
first chance I’ve had to be totally
committed,” said Hancock.
This has resulted in One Long
Breath, an exhibition opening
today at Down By The Liffey
Gallery in Lincoln.
“It is quite nerve-racking,”
said Hancock.
“I never really enjoyed doing
exhibitions as I paint for myself,
not for others, but I thought it
was finally time to put my money
where my mouth is.”
Her artwork features
conceptual portraiture and
abstract backgrounds, inspired
by the changing patterns
and lights across the Avon-
Heathcote Ihutai Estuary,
Canterbury Plains and the
Southern Alps – views she can
see from her home.
Hancock has lived on
Panorama Rd since 1985. Her
exhibition features several
artworks, painted on a long
landscape canvas, which
she said relate to constantly
looking out at the horizon. The
exhibition runs throughout
July. It also features work from
sculptor Michael Barrow.

Diamond Harbour resident
Richard Suggate had encouraged
his community to submit to the
draft Long Term Plan, asking for
the land to be removed.
“I am very pleased the city
council has withdrawn the LTP
sale proposal,” said Suggate.
“I note they haven’t said the
land won’t ever be sold and that
if a sale proposal does surface
again, they will
consult in a
meaningful way
with residents.”
The area
was originally
purchased by the
Banks Peninsula
council for future
zoning and it
Richard
Suggate
currently sits as
city council freehold land with
district plan zoning.
Residents were concerned about
the development of the land if it
was sold quickly under the LTP.
Suggate said the sale of the land
could result in 200-300 more
houses being built and questions
remained over how Morgan and
Sam’s gullies would be protected.
He said the sale would affect the
wider community and they need a
say in how the land is developed.

CHILLY: Scarborough Dippers will brave the elements once again this July.
Hardy dippers ready
for July challenge
SCARBOROUGH Dippers
is launching its annual Wet
July challenge tomorrow
and this year, the group’s
chilly endeavours will be
raising money for local
community projects.
This will be the fifth year
the group has undertaken
Wet July, where members
pledge to get into the sea
every day throughout the
month of July wearing
just togs and a smile,
irrespective of the weather
– provided conditions
allow this to be done safely.
Founding member
Kerry Newton, said the
Scarborough Dippers has
grown exponentially over
fifve years, having started
off with just four keen
dippers.
More than 40 people are
gathering for the group’s
dips and she is expecting
around 20 people to commit
to Wet July, although
typically many more join
in over the weekends.
“There has been a
growing interest in wild
swimming and the health
and well-being benefifts
of cold-water swimming,
which the regulars can
certainly attest to,” she
said.
“This is reflected in the
growing number of people
of all ages who are now
joining us on a daily or
weekly basis.”
Last July, the
Scarborough Dippers
raised more than $6000
which was split between
the Sumner and Taylors
Mistake Surf Lifesaving
clubs.
This year, the group has
chosen to support community
projects which include
the upgrade of Sumner
Kindergarten’s playground
and the surfboard library
based at The Goat Shed.
Others are yet to be confifrmed.
Said Newton: “It is
important for us to support
our local community. Most
of us are from the Sumner,
Taylors Mistake, Redcliffs
and Mt Pleasant so it makes
sense that we raise money
to support the community
that supports us.”
•More information
about Wet July can
be found on the
Scarborough Dipper’s
Facebook page.
Bid to retain reserve’s significance
A PROPOSED drat
landscape master plan
for Takapūneke Reserve,
near Akaroa, aims to
acknowledge the area’s
immense historical and
cultural signififcance.
The proposed plan has
been developed in partnership
with Ōnuku Rūnanga
and seeks to acknowledge
the importance of the site.
The landscape design
is founded on Kaupapa
Māori concepts.
Said city council head of
parks Andrew Rutledge:
“The design is intended to
help tell the story of this
land and how it has shaped
our history.”
The plan will be rolled
out in stages as funding and
resources become available.
The reserve was the
scene of a massacre in
1830, ater which the site
became tapu. It also has a
signififcant association with
the European settlement of
Akaroa and the Treaty of
Waitangi and in 2002 was
registered as Wāhi Tapu
(a place of outstanding
historical or cultural
value).
Consultation on the
landscape plan is open and
closes on July 21.

A message from
the Board
Tēnā Koutou
It has been a busy time for Marian
College as the planning for the new
school build moves excitingly close to
finally breaking ground. The Diocese
officially took over the land in May and
tender for the build has now closed.
One of the many benefits of utilising
the existing building on site is that poor
weather conditions aren’t expected to
impact the build going forward, and we
are confident the new school will open
in 2023 as planned.
While we have been at our current
site in Barbadoes Street for almost 10
years, the North Parade site has been
a significant part of the Marian College
history and holds many memories for
our Marian College whānau.
We were thrilled to learn that the site
has been sold to The Laura Fergusson
Brain Injury Trust. The Trust, which runs
a residential home and offers services
such as assessments, rehabilitation, and
physiotherapy in other parts of the city,
will centralise its South Island services in a
new facility on the site.
It seems very fitting that there will be
another caring community using this site
which will always remain an important
part of our college’s history.
Although the new build is a key focus,
there is much to celebrate within the
school already this year. We won the
coveted Bishop Lyons Shield which is a
major achievement and highlight in the
Catholic schools’ calendar. Our choir
represented us beautifully at The Big
Sing – the Secondary Schools Choral
Festival, and our hockey, football and
netball teams reflected our team spirit
at Mercy Cup, a sports competition
between Catholic schools, last month.
As well as its academic, sporting, and
cultural achievements, Marian College
is committed to ensuring all individuals
feel respected, safe, and valued, which
it continues to do with its love of faith,
learning, and service within the school
community.
As a Board we look forward to
supporting the continuing success of
our students and staff.

Marian College students support Courageous Youth
Marian College students and staff raised
$3000 recently for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation by putting their paper crane
folding skills to work.
Mazda NZ, recently held the Paper
Crane Project and pledged to donate
$1000 to the Make a Wish Foundation
for every 1000 cranes they received.
Marian College Pastoral Chaplain Olivia
Shimasaki said the challenge aligned
with the school’s focus of ‘Taking
Courage’ this year.
“The young people who receive wishes
from the Make-A-Wish Foundation
show great courage, therefore, we
were proud to support them and the
Paper Crane Project. Our students
took this opportunity with passion
and determination, showing the
difference we can make when we work
together,” Olivia said.
Six former and current Marian College
students received their Duke of Edinburgh
Awards at a ceremony last month.
Among those was former student Caitlin
Fleming who received her Gold Duke of
Edinburgh Hillary Award after three years
of hard work.
Caitlin was invited to speak at the awards
ceremony about her experience.
“I chose to get involved in the Duke of
Edinburgh Award scheme because I really
enjoy spending time with my friends. It
was a challenge to achieve the Gold Award
and I was pushed to the limit to complete
it,” she says.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award consists
of four sections- voluntary service, skills,
physical recreation, and adventurous
journey, with Gold Award participants also
having to do a residential project.
“The highlight has been making new
friends and trying out activities that
challenged me. I had role models to look
up to and, through them, have found
myself being able to help people in my
own groups. Thank you to everyone who
has supported and believed in me,”
Caitlin said.
Current Marian College student Georgia
Woods also received her Silver Award at
the ceremony.
“I decided to take part in the award largely
because of the tramping opportunities it
provided which were not something I’d
had previous experience with. I worked
really hard to push myself out of my
comfort zone,” Georgia said.
Mackenzie Johnston who completed the
Bronze Award agreed.
“Doing this award was a way for me to
test my determination and commitment.
This was a fun way for me to extend my
abilities and leave my comfort zone,”
Mackenzie said.

GREAT
WINTER
READS
INSTORE NOW!
NEW RELEASES
The Mirror Book
by Charlotte Grimshsaw
Growing up behind the family façade. Brave, explosive, and thoughtprovoking,
this is a powerful memoir from a critically acclaimed writer. ‘It’s
material, make a story out of it,’ was the mantra Charlotte Grimshaw grew up
with in her famous literary family. But when her life suddenly turned upsidedown,
she needed to re-examine the reality of that material. The more she
delved into her memories, the more the real characters in her life seemed to
object. So what was the truth of ‘a whole life lived in fiction’? This is a vivid
account of a New Zealand upbringing, where rebellion was encouraged,
where trouble and tragedy lay ahead. It looks beyond the public face to the
‘messy reality of family life - and much more’.
Tikanga
by Francis Tipene & Kaiora Tipene
Living a fulfilling life rich with tradition, connection and te ao Maori Following
on from their bestseller, Life as a Casketeer, Francis and Kaiora Tipene share
how they bring the traditional values of tikanga Maori into day-to-day living,
what they know about whanau, mahi and manaakitanga, and how they live
a life rich with the concepts of te ao Maori Known for their warm hearts, grace
and humour, the stars of the wildly popular series The Casketeers show how
the traditions of tikanga shapes their lives juggling five sons, three businesses
and a television show - all while sustaining a life filled with joy and connection.
Jacinda Ardern: Leading With Empathy
by Supriya Vani and Carl A Harte
Jacinda Ardern: Leading with Empathy is a major biography of one of the
most important and inspirational leaders of the twenty-first century, based
on interviews with the New Zealand Prime Minister herself.
Jacinda Ardern: Leading with Empathy carefully explores the influences
– personal, social, political and emotional – that have shaped Ardern.
Acclaimed peace activist and journalist Supriya Vani and writer Carl A Harte
build their narrative through Vani’s personal interviews with Ardern, as well
as the prime minister’s public statements and speeches and the words of
those who know her. We visit the places, meet the people and understand
the events that propelled the daughter of a small-town Mormon policeman
into a committed social democrat, a passionate Labour Party politician, and
a model modern leader.
Kiwi Farmers’ Guide To Life
rural Tales from the Heartland by Tim Fulton
Kiwi Farmers’ Guide to Life does just that, telling stories of New
Zealand farmers, agribusiness entrepreneurs and even a couple
of scientists. Each one knows about sweat, quick thinking and the
importance of a sense of humour in the world of agriculture. From
a dive into farming history to a probe of modern agri issues, Kiwi
Farmers’ Guide to Life shows farmers at their finest and in some
cases - at their most vulnerable. At heart, these stories explore why
farmers do what they do, rather than how. So, put on your gumboots
and let’s take that road less travelled.
Knock Knock: Confessions of a Kiwi Interviewer
by Trish Palmer
Extraordinary stories from a lifetime spent conducting interviews. This is the
world of the dreaded door-knock from the other side of the door. Trish Palmer
has been working as an interviewer and area manager for market research
companies for over 20 years, invited into the homes and private lives of an
astonishing array of folk from every lifestyle imaginable. Her experiences on
the job entail everything from bare bottoms to angry cats, the desperately
struggling to the well-off, and everyone in between. There is comedy and
sadness, surprises and the downright odd, from witches to boat-builders,
dope growers and more. Poignant, hilarious, and always thought-provoking,
this is a highly entertaining read.

THERE WILL be further
progress on formalising a track
in Urumau Reserve by August.
Joshua Merriam, on behalf

the Banks

at a meeting in

Community board chairwoman
Tori Peden said they were
waiting for the city council head
of parks Paul Devlin to come
back to them with a report
outlining how to move forward
with the track’s formalisation.
This report will include time
frames and a budget to make
the track “wider and more user-friendly,”

They are due to receive the
report by the beginning of
August.

the group was meant to formally
recommend to the community

Frustrated by their inaction,

the track be formalised himself.
“This really shows their patterns

the meeting.
The track is a component of
the 2018 Urumau Development
Plan and its formalisation has
been a long-time coming.
The community board approved
the plan in August 2018,
including the entrance track.
However, the track has remained
classified as a “proposed
track,” in spite of being used by
both mountain bikers and walkers
alike to access the track.
Inaction from discussions
with the LRMC prompted
Merriam to take this project to
the board in March, including
a petition with more than 100
signatures for formalising the
track.
Approving the track would
allow for increased engagement
with the reserve and it
would complete the entrance
connection from Foster Tce to
the Urumau traverse track.
Native trees planted in a bid to attract tūī
• By Samantha Mythen
MORE THAN 3600 native trees
have been planted at Living
Springs by 100 local volunteers
as part of the Tūī Corridor
Project.
On June 19, the “tūī
tucker” was planted in the
hope of bringing back tūī to
Christchurch backyards.
Canterbury’s tūī population
died out in the 1970s, most likely
due to habitat loss and predation.
Since then, the region
has received visiting tūī, but
there have been no established
populations.
The initiative aims to plant
11,000 tūī-friendly plants this
year between Banks Peninsula
and the central city.
The vegetation will provide
food for the tūī to eat.
It was launched in September
last year, with 3000 native trees
planted by volunteers at the
Christchurch Adventure Park.
The project is a partnership
between Meridian Energy and
The Christchurch Foundation.
In 2009 and 2010, 72 birds
were released at Hinewai
Reserve near Akaroa and the
small population are often
sighted.

ZOOMERS: Breana Vosper, Hinnie Hobeyn, Bronte Lovell and Joel Graham

Young artists collaborate
for Zoomers exhibition
• By Samantha Mythen
FOUR talented young
Diamond Harbour artists
from Generation Z are
showcasing their work at a
new exhibition they have
called Zoomers.
The opening event will
be held on Friday from
5-7pm at Stoddart Cottage
in Diamond Harbour.
Breana Vosper, Bronte
Lovell, Hinnie Hobeyn
and Joel Graham, who all
attend Cashmere High
School, have followed
an open theme for the
exhibition.
Brena comes from a
family of artists and has
been painting for most
of her life. Currently,
she is working with oils,
watercolour and acrylic to
paint scenes of nature and
different light forms.
Bronte’s favourite art
form is creating comics,
characters and stories
with digital art, however,
in Zoomers, she has
experimented with
painting.
Stoddart Cottage is
hosting a series of
winter workshops
to help get the
community’s creative
juices flowing.
Said Stoddart
Cottage gallery
manager Dr Jo
Burzynska: “We’re
really excited about
the workshops, as it’s
the first time we’ve
run a programme of
this kind.”
Joel Graham’s digital
artwork
Hinnie is a self-taught
artist who started drawing
as soon as she could hold
a pencil. Pencil drawings
and line art remain her
favourite style, but she
creates art using a wide
variety of mediums.
Joel spent his childhood
living in Afghanistan,
where his parents worked
in aid and development,

The workshops

Hagar International.
The young artists will
be donating 10 per cent
of the sale price of their
artworks sold to the
group.
Janie Porter, who
helped to organise the

good for young people
to have encouragement
from galleries to show
their work and rise to the
challenge involved with
exhibitions.

then putting it into a

Ford’s cheeky Puma ready to pounce
WHILE THE sport utility market
is ever-expanding, the cars within
it are shrinking.
Ford’s newcomer into that
segment is the Puma, a cheeky,
squat SUV that is bulbous and
well rounded; if you think
Nissan Juke then the two aren’t
dissimilar, although my son
likens the front of the Puma’s
design, especially the way the
lights are angled, to Porsche’s
Macan.
Of course, the Puma is built
for a completely different
market, it will attract a wide
cross-section of buyers, those
from the younger generation
who like its trendy style, right
through to those in retirement
who will benefit from its ease
of access and easy-to-drive
characteristics.
Sitting at just 4.2mm, the
Puma is a compact five-seater,
but there’s good load space so
that the belongings we tend to
carry with us can be adequately
stored. Ford claims a 410-litre
load space capacity extending to
1170-litres if the rear seats are
folded forward.
At the other end sits a 999cc
three-cylinder turbocharged
engine.
This configuration is somewhat
the direction Ford has been
travelling in lately – no pun
intended. Some Focus models
have three-cylinder engines, and
I’m sure as other models come
through, so will engines of this
size be utilised.
Even though it is just 1-litre, the
Puma’s unit is quite feisty. Ford
rate it with healthy power outputs
of 92kW and 170Nm, as is the
case with most new-generation
turbo units, it has strong midrange
performance, the torque
figure is broad, being available
all of the way from 1400rpm to
4500rpm.
Adding in the proximity of
ratios through a seven-speed
automatic transmission means
there is little chance of the engine
going off-boost during the
acceleration process.
The Puma lands in two
specification variants. The
evaluation car was the ST-Line
model which lands at $37,990, the
base model car lists at $34,990
and shouldn’t be dismissed, it too
has all of the features which make
FORD PUMA: Healthy fuel usage figures..
today’s modern car so appealing.
The ST-Line Puma is
recognised by its high level of
fitment even though cloth trim
greets the occupants. The seat
fabric has red stitching which
fits with the ST (sport tuned)
specification. Satellite navigation
is fitted along with Apple CarPlay
and Android Auto connectivity,
keyless entry and ignition, voice
control and wireless mobile
phone charging. It also gets
adaptive cruise control which is
part of a five-star Australasian
New Car Assessment Program
safety rating, the Puma is
chock full of the electronic and
mechanical functions that keep
you safe in the first instance and
to protect you in a collision.
The Puma is built in
Romania, it shares many of
the characteristics which make
European Fords so desirable,
especially so with the way it feels
connected to the road and the
associated satisfaction you get as
a driver.
Sure, the power outputs are
such that the Puma will never
set the world alight with its
acceleration or speed, but it
handles beautifully, a lot of
that is attributable to the sport
suspension settings. However,
don’t be put off, ST specification
doesn’t mean a hard ride, I still
rate in-cabin comfort as perfectly
acceptable and, of course, the
base model Puma has standard
spring and damper rates.
Three-cylinder engines are
generally built to enhance
• Price – Ford Puma ST-Line,
$37,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4186mm; width, 1805mm;
height, 1550mm
• Configuration – Threecylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
999cc, 92kW,
170Nm, seven-speed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11sec
• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km
economy and lower emissions.
That can certainly be said for
the Puma’s unit, with little in
the way of reciprocating mass it
contributes to the light weight of
the car in total (1285kg).
That being the case, there are
fairly healthy fuel usage figures
to report. Ford claim up to
5.3l/100km can be achieved on a
combined cycle average.
My time in the evaluation car
consisted of several suburb to city
commutes and a long highway
excursion. The fuel usage readout
was listing at 6.4l/100km when I
took the car back to the Sockburn
dealership. At 100km/h the
readout sits at 4.4l/100km, the
engine spinning over gently at
just 2000rpm in seventh gear.
The Puma is effectively a
replacement for the popular Ford
EcoSport. That car sold well in
New Zealand, it’s my guess the
Puma will pick up where the
EcoSport left off.
