ANDREW TURNER, a serious
man, or Phil Mauger, the
maverick who dug a trench to
try and stop flooding in the
eastern suburbs.
These are the potential
candidates Lyttelton resident,
poet and radio show host Gary
McCormick would consider
voting for as mayor if there was
an election this weekend.
Bay Harbour News went
to Lyttelton on Monday to
gauge people’s preferences for
who they would like to see as
the next mayor.
McCormick said: “Mostly, I
value passion, and digging up
the drains [trench] sounds very
passionate, so maybe
that guy.”

councillor Phil Mauger went
ahead and dug a trench in
Pages Rd in April to solve a
flooding problem that had been
unresolved for 10 years.
He was fined $300 by the city
council regularity compliance
unit.
“I will be using the ‘get on

voting,” said McCormick.

Boy racer
sting nabs
routine
drivers
• By Samantha Mythen
THREE HUNDRED and eighty
tickets were issued to speeding
motorists over the weekend.
Speeding tickets issued included
79 in Cass Bay, 91 on Bridle Path
Rd, 81 in the tunnel (all 50km/h
areas) and 129 on Tunnel Rd
(100km/h area).
Police launched an operation
targeting boy racers but caught
many routine motorists, said
Sergeant Gerard Peoples.
A number of local motorists
were among those ticketed.
Peoples said it was “a bit disappointing.”
“The law of physics doesn’t discern
between a ‘boy racer’ and a
mum and dad driver. If you speed,
you’re more likely to crash and the
impact will be greater on you and/
or others,” he said.
It was Lyttelton Police’s latest
road policing operation to stop
speeders and boy racers.
Peoples said they worked alongside
staff from the anti-social road
users section.
“Overall, it was a pretty quiet
weekend,” he said.
“Happy to be proved wrong,
but there seems to be less boy
racer activity around than a few
months ago.”

THAT WAS a heck of a lot of
motorists caught speeding at
the weekend.
On page 1 today we reveal
the numbers from a police
speed and boy racer operation.
A total of 380 tickets were
issued in Cass Bay, Bridle Path
Rd, in the Lyttelton tunnel and
on Tunnel Rd.
Police say it was quiet on the
boy racer front, which means
there were a lot of what could
be termed routine drivers
caught. Police have described
them as mums and dads.
Speeding around the bays
with the tight corners and
through the Lyttelton tunnel is
simply dumb and dangerous.
On another note, a top show
over the weekend for Diamond
Harbour School’s The Lion

THE ICONIC British Hotel
is applying for a city council
heritage grant to assist with the
cost of building a new roof and
parapet.
The British was badly damaged
during the earthquakes and is
slowly being restored.
Rebecca Lovell-Smith and her
partner Christian Carruthers
bought the building post-quakes.
Lovell-Smith said Carruthers
had always loved the building.
“We didn’t want it to be demolished
after the earthquakes,”
GLORY DAYS:
Restoration is under
way for the iconic
British Hotel, pictured
before it was rebuilt
in the 1940s (left) and
today.
she said.
“We knew how important it
was to Lyttelton; it holds a fond
place in many people’s hearts.”
Work has already begun on the
top floor, which was the former
manager’s flat and hotel rooms.
It is planned to keep this space as
accommodation.
One room will be set up as a
small museum with pieces from
the hotel’s past on display.
With the grant’s help, Lovell-
Smith and Carruthers are hoping
to rebuild the parapet later
this year.
The parapet reflects the building’s
late deco-inspired architecture
in the moderne style, with
rounded corners and porthole
windows.
“The British is an important
part not only of Lyttelton’s
history but also its streetscape
and architecture,” said Lovell-
Smith.
“We want to keep the building
in its original state, there are no
flash renovation plans.”
The hotel is currently home to
four local businesses – Arcana
Tattoo parlour, the Commoners
Bar, the Lost Property junk shop,
and Big Sam’s Tools.
Lovell-Smith said every
Saturday when she opens Lost
Property, people always come in
and tell her diverse stories about
the time they have spent in the
hotel.
Rebuilt in the 1940s, the
British has a rich history with a
colourful reputation.
It was frequented by sailors
from all over the world, who saw
it as home whenever their ships
arrived at the port.
The Banks Peninsula
Community Board has written
a letter in support of the request
for a heritage grant.
LAND TRANSFERRED
About 80ha of Port Hills land
red-zoned after the earthquakes
was transferred from the Crown
to the city council at the beginning
of this month. The 440 Port
Hills properties are spread from
Whitewash Head on Scarborough
Hill to Charteris Bay, including
pockets in Diamond Harbour,
Lyttelton, Sumner, Redcliffs,
Cashmere, the Avoca, Horotane
and Heathcote valleys, and
Governors Bay.
FUNDS FOR COTTAGE
Stoddart Cottage, the oldest
colonial building in Diamond
Harbour and the birthplace of
painter Margaret Stoddart, will
benefit from $209,033 of funding
received from Manatū Taonga
Ministry of Culture and Heritage’s
Te Tahua Whakakaha Capability
Fund for a Canterbury Museumled
project. The funding will go
towards improved storage facilities

tips for gardening in July!
Now is the time to have a
great tidy up! If you have a
problem with pests in your
greenhouse empty it out and
give it a good clean with
weak solution of bleach.
This will kill any bugs or
diseases that are in their
dormant stage waiting for
warm weather to reappear.
Protect any frost
sensitive plants by
covering them with
a frost cloth. Plant
strawberries and
deciduous fruit trees
and roses now.
Prune your grape vines,
fruit trees and your
hydrangeas. Add lime to
your pink hydrangeas
to keep them pink and
Sulphur peat to the soil
for your blue hydrangeas
to keep them blue.
Indoor plants can be
a little more difficult
over Winter especially
where watering is
concerned, water your
house plants when the
potting mix is dry. It is
easy to over water at
this time of year.

A pest-free peninsula possible
• By Samantha Mythen
CASS BAY residents have rallied
together against rats and other
predators in their community as
part of a wider initiative to make
Banks Peninsula pest free.
Twenty-five people gathered
together on Sunday to learn
about predator control and how
to set their own traps.
The afternoon was organised
by Predator Free Port Hills, a
backyard trapping initiative that
aims to get Port Hills communities’
involved in protecting
native species.
Predator-free project co-ordinator
Marie Gray said the day
went really well with attendees
showing great interest and enthusiasm.
She said there has been a
recent surge in interest from
households in learning about
predator control in their own
backyards. She thought this was
inspired by people watching the
Fight for the Wild documentary
film and podcast series.
“People are realising the
importance of predator control
and what they can do to help,”
she said.
The project is aiming for a trap
to be in one in every five backyards
by 2024.
It was launched by the Summit
Road Society in 2016, with the
goal to create a buffer zone between
Christchurch city and the
wider Banks Peninsula area.
The project has since started
working alongside Whaka-ora
Healthy Harbour.
Whaka-ora programme
manager Karen Banwell also
attended the Sunday workshop.
“We are all working for a pestfree
Banks Peninsula,” she said.
She has caught 116 rats and
one weasel over the last three
years in her two backyard traps.
Brent Barrett led the workshop.
Barrett manages a number of
landscape pest control projects
around the Port Hills, including
in red-zoned land.
“With predator control, it’s
essential to think in a landscape
way, not just about your own
patch of land,” he said.
“In [a] dynamic approach, you
should team up with others in
your neighbourhood.”
He said targeting stoats and
weasels is essential as they are
very successful predators and if
not controlled, their populations
grow quickly.
However, Barrett said he was

RATS: Brent

quite optimistic about pest
control in the Port Hills.
“The Port Hills are more on
top of this than people realise,
receiving funding and focus
from various groups,” he said.
“We are working in a large
area, but with only a few gaps.”
Predator Free Sumner Bays is
currently working to eradicate
pests on the other side of the
Port Hills.
Diamond Harbour School
pupils and their families joined
in the initiative earlier in June,
building their own traps.

Speedsters
targeted
• From page 1
Police units patrolled from
Sumner, Redcliffs, Heathcote,
Lyttelton and the various bays,
through to Diamond Harbour
and over Gebbies Pass to the
Motukarara area.
Said Peoples: “The speed
enforcement we conducted was
targeting narrow and windy roads
where speed is an issue and causes
an extra hazard due to the road’s
nature.”
Static observation posts also
captured speeding drivers via
video recordings.
“I want to impress upon
offending drivers that even if they
don’t see police they may still
be recorded and stopped by an
unmarked car when they leave the
area or get a door knock days later
and receive an impoundment
notice and summons,” said
Peoples.
“Paranoia is the best prevention.”
A static observation post
at Naval Point resulted in the
impoundment of a car over the
weekend. The driver was charged
with sustained loss of traction
after a prolonged burnout.
Peoples said they would
continue to conduct these
operations monitoring anti-social
road use in Banks Peninsula.

Last week Lianne Dalziel announced
she will not be running
for a fourth term as mayor. It
has opened up what is expected
to be a hotly-contested mayoral
race.
Turner, deputy mayor
and Banks Peninsula Ward
councillor has previously said he
would not run against Dalziel.
The door is now open for him.
Heathcote resident Jasmine
Bishop who was in Lyttelton on
Monday, said she was likely go
with Turner if he ran due to his
connections with the Labour
Party, as a People’s Choice
councillor.
In contrast, John Creagh, of
Lyttelton, said: “Not Andrew, as
he hasn’t done a lot to be seen
for Lyttelton.”
Other potential mayoral
candidates are Heathcote
Ward city councillor Sara
Templeton and fellow city
councillors Mike Davidson and
James Gough.
A Heathcote resident, who
did not want to be named, said
he knows Templeton personally
and that he would vote for her
if she ran because she is quite

Many people spoken to by Bay

Kiwibank’s
Ferrymead
branch closes
• By Samantha Mythen
THE KIWIBANK branch in
Ferrymead closed on Friday.
The branch has been operating
out of Take Note on Ferry Rd,
alongside a New Zealand Post
branch.
A Kiwibank spokesperson said:
“For customers, Kiwibank would
have liked to maintain services
in Ferrymead, however the host
business, Take Note, has decided
not to continue its contract with
us.”
Take Note declined to comment.
Kiwibank has been in touch
with the seven customers who
exclusively use the Ferrymead
agent to work through alternative
banking options.
Kiwibank was originally
relocated to Ferrymead from its
branch in Woolston in 2015.
The community enthusiastically
campaigned against the move
with 240 people signing a petition
to stop its closure. The city
council joined the campaign by
sending a letter to New Zealand
Post, which owns Kiwibank.
However, the relocation still
went ahead.
At the time, New Zealand
Post retail distribution general
manager Tracey Berry said the
company was investing in a
full-service post shop and Kiwibank
branch in Ferrymead.
Deputy mayor Andrew Turner
said banks are often at the heart
of communities.
“For every one facility like this
that closes in the community, we
lose one more element of community
connection,” he said.
“While I realise banking is
moving online to the digital
environment, there are still many
people in communities, such as
the elderly and business owners,
who value the service on-site
banks provide and the face-toface
contact.”
Turner said with the Woolston
closure in 2015, the Ferrymead
bank became even more essential,
yet with its closure on Friday,
residents are going to have to
travel even further for their contact
banking.
The nearest Kiwibank service
to Ferrymead is in St Martins or
on Colombo St.

School production dazzles
• By Samantha Mythen
BIG, SPECTACULAR and
exciting were some of the words
used to describe Diamond
Harbour School’s production of
The Lion King.
The show was held over the
weekend.
Acting deputy principal and
production director Sally Craw
said there was a huge buy-in
from the community.
The Friday and Saturday
evening shows sold out and
people had to be turned away
on Saturday.
There were only four tickets
left for the opening night on
Thursday.
“It was really exciting seeing
everyone in their costumes and
with their masks,” said Craw.
The entire school was involved,
either taking on a lead role or
acting in the wider chorus.
Teachers, parents and other
family members helped with
creating costumes and the background
set.
Craw said they have received
great positive feedback from
everyone who saw the show.
Several parents commented on
the school’s Facebook page that
it was the best school production
they had ever seen.
“I am really proud of the kids,”
said Craw.
“There is quite a lot of talent
here.”
Several performing pupils will
be attending Cashmere High
School next year, where Craw
expected they would engage with
the high school’s great drama
department.
Diamond Harbour School has
a production every two years.
“We now have two years to
recover,” said Craw with a laugh.

Keeping the old post office lines
• By Bea Gooding
“SOME PEOPLE preserve family
heirlooms, some people preserve
cakes, but why? If we stop doing
these things then I think we’ve
lost the plot.”
Those are the words of George
Wealleans, who has mastered the
art of preservation as founder
and inaugural president of the
Ferrymead Post and Telegraph
Historical Society.
It is why the 75-year-old is in
charge of the group responsible
for conserving the country’s
communications’ history in
a 1920s post office building,
nestled within Ferrymead
Heritage Park.
“If I don’t, then who’s going
to?” said Wealleans.
“It’s partly ego, partly a desire
to preserve our history. You
might as well preserve something
you’re keen on.”
The society collects and
restores vintage telegraphy,
telephone and switching systems
mainly from the New Zealand
Post Office and formerly Telecom
New Zealand.
The items, sourced from all
over the country, are in working
order, allowing visitors to get a
feel for what life was like before
the digital age.
The exhibition may look like a
CALLING: George Wealleans with one of the old telephones in the Ferrymead Post and
Telegraph Historical Society building.

museum, but it has not
strayed too far from its original
purpose – the building still
provides postal agency services
and philatelic (postage stamp)
sales.
Wealleans and a few others
established the society in 1977
during a time when the country’s
morse system and telegraph
service were closing down in
1963 and 1988, respectively.
One of the members already
worked at the Ferrymead
tramways, so the heritage park
was seen as the perfect location
to keep the practice alive.
Otherwise, it would have
“ended up on shelves in a shed.”
“When some of the equipment
out there was ready to be
taken out, we wanted to see it
preserved. So I called a meeting
with post officers in town and
established a group,” he said.
“[Now] we have been tasked, or
dumped, with the idea of looking
after this stuff on behalf of the
people of New Zealand.
“But there’s no benefit of
looking after this stuff other than
our hobby.”
Born in Oamaru, Wealleans
was raised in Timaru by his
uncle and aunt when his father
left the picture.
In the 23 years that followed,
he completed school certificate
and locked in his first job at the
Timaru Post Office at 16-yearsold
as a trainee telephone
mechanician.
In search of love, he
relocated to Christchurch in
1971 to get hitched, eventually
building a house, raising three
children of his own, and starting
a new role at the telephone
exchange.

of communication open
“We’re still at the same address
with the same phone number in
Avondale.”
Wealleans loved the idea
of being able to help facilitate
communication between others.
The biggest change he
witnessed over time was cell
phones. But as someone who
championed communication,
they were “abhorrent,” as they
created too many distractions.
He also prided himself on
accuracy – his boss once said his
wire tying and lacing skills were
always neat. “It’s the technology
too that got me hooked, and
the data from one computer to
another. The theory of how a cell
phone works is just as important
as the piece of equipment,” he
said.
“Each component leads to a
core computer, then it goes out
through a cellular network and
up to a satellite, passing bits of
messages, then back down to say,
the phone of your mate who just
happens to be having lunch in
San Francisco.”
OPERATOR: One of the society’s oldest telephones, a Bell/Blake transmitter, used
in New Zealand in the 1880s. Left – George Wealleans using some of the old post
office equipment.

But after 31 years in the
industry, it all changed when he
was made redundant in 1992 –
two years after deciding to take
a decade-long hiatus as president
of the historical society.
He spent the next 17 years after
that working in a factory making
plastic bags before he “weaseled”
his way back into the society’s
presidential role about 10 years
ago.
“In every job I’ve had, there’s
been an element of being your
own master,” said Wealleans.
“Obviously you’re following
the instructions. Like at the
plastic bag machine, you’re given
instructions on how long to
make the bag, but they didn’t tell
you how fast to make it.
“So I fine-tuned the machine a
bit to get it going at say, 65 bags a
minute, instead of 50.”
Wealleans is at the
heritage park nearly every day,
and he would not have it any
other way.
But a major regret was not
becoming an architect after
nearly failing a technical exam
in high school – a dream that
grew momentum the second he
received his first Meccano set.
Said Wealleans: “I wouldn’t
go as far as saying I’m an artist
but I can visualise things from a
technical perspective, put it on
paper and draw it, like a circuit
diagram. I’ve always treated my
job as a hobby because I love my
work. I’m able to share all my
experiences with a whole lot of
people, even those who aren’t
ex-post office.”

Readers respond to last week’s article in the Bay Harbour News about a call
for a powered vessel ban in Rapaki
I live in Cass Bay and go
stand-up paddle boarding. I
thought Rapaki Bay was already
powerboat free. It really should
be.
People can launch small boats
and jet skis from Cass Bay and
with the bay becoming more
popular and busy there are
safety concerns, especially for
swimmers and children playing
in the water. I do not like noise
pollution as well.
There does need to be beaches
and bays that small boats can go
to though, for example on Quail
Island and out past Diamond
Harbour. – Marjorie Russell
I definitely agree with
imposing a ban on powered
vessels in Rapaki Bay.
I have thought this should be
the case every summer when
we are there swimming. –
Vivienne Le Couteur
We want to hear your views

I certainly think there should
be a ban on motorised vessels at
Rapaki and that includes jet skis.
Rapaki is a very special area
and popular with swimmers. Jet
skis are dangerous and the noise
destroys the calm of the bay. The
same goes for motor boats.
It is also important for kai
moana gathering for the people
who live at Rapaki. I would like
to see more areas of the harbour
protected from motor boats and
jet skis. It must upset birds and
wildlife too, it is their home. –
Pat Scott, Lyttelton
Up until 2018 I lived in Cass
Bay. My house backed onto an
enviable beach front location.
Thus I took up stand-up
paddle boarding as a hobby.
Even then I was troubled by
those motorised vehicles with
irresponsible handlers.
I often return to the bays
to walk the tracks offered in

both directions.
Sunshine coinciding with
school holidays and public holidays
see greatly increased traffic,
water activities, jet skis and
smaller boats and dingies with
outboard vehicles coming into
the bay areas.
Water safety and speed restriction’
protocols often lapse.
Moreover, an increasing amount
of alcohol is bought to beaches,
consumed, and water etiquette is
compromised.
I certainly would not feel
confident to confront a jet skier
who I suspected was under the
influence of alcohol. I’d simply
remove myself from the water.
Now more than ever, when
it is critical to reverse and
protect our larger environments
from further degradations and
personal injury, should policies
place environment stewardship,
before those pleasure seekers
that have no regard to what
damage or anxiety they might
cause.
I strongly support a ban on
motorised vessels in Rapaki.
And support it being extended
in other coastal areas of the
Banks Peninsula.
I hope that residents and
non-residents can see improvements
and that increased safety
measures become the new norm.

for the greater majority of
people to enjoy together. – P J

WELL, IT was another busy few
weeks in the Banks Peninsula
electorate as we hurtled toward
the shortest day of the year.
Some of the highlights for
me were a visit to Kidsfirst
Lyttelton where the enthusiastic
youngsters opted to show me
how to clamber up the slopes of
the impressive backyard – I was
regrettably far less sure-footed
and, although fun, it was also
lovely to catch up in the warm
with the wonderful team at
Project Lyttelton and call in to
see Sergeant Peoples at the local
police station.
Similarly, I was very grateful
for the hospitality at the Woolston
Fire Station when Elaine,
one of my excellent electorate
staffers, and I called in with some
afternoon tea. I credit the quality
of the baking with the chance to
get behind the driver’s wheel.
Principal Chris and I were
treated to an impromptu haka at
Mt Pleasant School after a lovely
visit with Liza and the team at

A chance to catch up
with the electorate
Saturday started with the
chance to acknowledge World
Refugee Day at Rapaki Marae.
Thank you to everyone for making
it so special, especially Nuk,
Sally, Ta Mark and Ahmed.
Speaking of sparkle. While I
had heard about the famous Star
of the Sea Sumner school lipsync
competition I hadn’t seen it
with my own eyes until Saturday
night where I was stoked to be
a judge alongside James Daniels
and Marianne Delaney-Hoshek.
Highly recommend and congratulations.
It’s rare that I venture out of
Banks Peninsula in a recess
week, but it was an honour to
support my colleague Kiri Allen
as she continues her recovery
from cervical cancer treatment. I
spent Wednesday and Thursday
visiting wonderful organisations
doing fantastic work in Whakatane

I know Kiri would want me to
take this opportunity to remind
everyone to keep their regular
checks up to date.

False Witness
by Karin Slaughter
He saw what you did ... He knows who you are. The
stunning new standalone from the no.1 international
bestselling author
They thought they’d got away with it ... they were
wrong.
Leigh and her sister Callie are not bad people - but one
night, more than two decades ago, they did something
terrible. And the result was a childhood tarnished by secrets,
broken by betrayal, devastated by violence.
Years later, Leigh has pushed that night from her mind and become a successful
lawyer - but when she is forced to take on a new client against her will, her world
begins to spiral out of control.
Because the client knows the truth about what happened twenty-three years ago.
He knows what Leigh and Callie did. And unless they stop him, he’s going to tear
their lives apart ...
Just because you didn’t see the witness ... doesn’t mean he wasn’t there.
Sisters of the Resistance
A Novel of Catherine Dior’s Paris Spy Network
by Christine Wells
Two sisters join the Paris Resistance in this page-turning new novel inspired by the
real-life bravery of Catherine Dior, sister of the fashion designer and a heroine of
World War II France—perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Jennifer Chiaverini.
“As dazzling as a Dior gown! With a gorgeous blend of fashion, heartbreak, heroism,
and love this book will transport you to France...” —Natasha Lester, New York Times
bestselling author of The Paris Secret
Paris, 1944: The war is nearly over, but for members of the Resistance in occupied
France, it is more dangerous than ever before. Twenty-five-year-old Gabby Foucher
loathes the Nazis, though as the concierge of 10 rue Royale, she does her best to
avoid conflict—unlike her bolder sister Yvette, who finds trouble at every turn.
Then they are both recruited into the Resistance by Catherine Dior and swept into
a treacherous world of spies, fugitives, and intrigue. While Gabby risks everything
for the man she is hiding from the Nazis, Yvette must decide whether to trust an
enigmatic diplomat who seems to have guessed her secret. As the threat of betrayal
draws ever-closer, one slip could mean the deaths of many, and both sisters must
make choices they might regret.

Singing in a chorus an uplifting experience
• By Eva Munro
IT WAS QUITE an effort for
my friends to convince me to
audition for the Christchurch City
Chorus in February.
Retired last year, I was already
pretty busy with my garden and
oil painting. I wasn’t looking for
more hobbies.
How wrong I was because singing
turned out to be more than
a hobby. It’s a new and inspiring
way of life – new knowledge,
new skills, new experience, new
acquaintances, even a new reality.
I am not a native English speaker
and thought I would struggle
with my accent. I had never heard
of the songs we perform. Each
week at practice, we are taught
clear and correct pronunciation
and breathing techniques and
even acting while singing.
I then just download each song
10 times in a row onto my phone
and keep listening and singing
along while gardening or doing
my house chores.
I keep discovering my voice,
which I never even thought I had.
Long ago, I sang at after-school
care.
Later, I sang Happy Birthday at
parties. These were my only experiences
of performing until in
April, as one of over 100 women
in the chorus, I got standing ovations
at my first concerts.
A crucial part of the learning
process and the atmosphere in the
chorus are our leaders. Our musical
director, Virginia Humphrey-
Taylor began her training singing
in opera and musical theatre.
Richard Marrett also supports
us as a vocal coach and pianist.
Apart from being highly qualified
professionals, they are kind,
joyful, cordial people with a great
sense of humour.
Nataliia, the friend who introduced
me to the chorus, agrees
that it offers a lot more than
merely singing.
“The chorus is a ‘me’ time away
from the constant stress of everyday
life. It gives a sense of belonging
and connection, the pleasure
of doing something together,
constant development of vocal
skills … the whole atmosphere
feels benevolent and uplifting,’’
Nataliia said.
Nataliia sings to her baby to
practice, and the clever child is
already singing along.
Singing aloud and thinking
about making it clear and
expressive shuts the mind to the
challenges and problems of these
days.
Singing in the chorus is indeed
a way to a better world.

Facelift for Suzuki Ignis adds to appeal
A SALESMAN once told me cars
sell on style.
That doesn’t surprise me,
but for my money it’s what is
underneath the body shell that is
most important as a purchase.
Suzuki New Zealand has done
really well with its cheeky and
charming compact sport utility
vehicle – the Ignis.
That comes down to what
is good to look at, along
with engineering that is built
for efficiency along with
performance and reliability.
I’m not talking about speed
and acceleration, the Ignis is not
designed for that kind of role,
but what it does do really well
is combine some out-of-thebox
thinkingdesign-wise along
with the mechanicals that fit the
mould of the car.
For 2021 the Ignis has just had
a bit of a facelift, those alluring
looks are now even stronger
with a new grille, bumpers and
chunky wheel arches. According
to Suzuki, the changes promote
a more rugged look. I’m not
convinced that’s what draws
people to the model, I kind of
liked its more pretty look, but in
no way am I’m suggesting buyers
won’t flock to the Ignis, just
likethey have previously.
There’s also been a refresh
inside, there are new seat
coverings along with upgraded
trim details and highlight accents.
Importantly, the new Ignis
also gets a driver’s seat height
adjuster. The reason being is
the Ignis is a car that tempts
those not quite so agile. With
a tallish ride height the Ignis is
easy to access, and with those
extra few centimetres of seat
height that task has just become
even more comfortable. One
of Suzuki’s descriptions for the
Ignis is a high-riding hatchback
with a benefit of that being its
accessibility.
The Ignis also lands here at a
very tempting price - $19,990.
That will buy you into the series
with a manual gearbox, an extra
$3000 will get you continuously
variable automatic transmission,
while the Limited specification
version, as tested, lists at $24,490.
With all of the changes it’s
important to remember the
concept of Ignis hasn’t changed
one bit. It’s also been described
as a mini-SUV, which makes it
a practical load carrier, but in
Limited form it’s only a car for
four people, there are only two
seat belts in the rear. However, if
you are an Ignis buyer and would
like the opportunity to carry
three in the rear, then the GLX
will seat five, albeit it’s a tight
five-seater.
SQUAT: The Ignis is short at 3.7m but it has definite style.
SUZUKI IGNIS LIMITED: Chunky bumper sets the 2021 Ignis apart from its predecessors.
All that aside, under the
hatchback there’s 264-litres of
storage space, if you fold those
rear seats down you can add up
to 516-litres.
Up front sits the delightful
1242cc four-cylinder engine.
It’s a real honey, characterised
by its sweet tone and honest
performance through the
CVT. Suzuki rates the engine
with 66kW and 120Nm power
outputs, even though torque
peaks tallish in the rev band
(4400rpm), the engine works
freely thanks to it being free of
gearbox load.
According to Suzuki’s
promotional material, the
Ignis will return a 4.9-litre per
100km combined cycle fuel
usage average. In my opinion
that would be quite achievable,
during my evaluation time the
readout was constantly listing
at 5.9l/100km, with a 4l/100km
figure cruising gently at 100km/h,
the engine turning over at just
2000rpm in the tallest part of the
gearing.
In terms of performance, the
Ignis will accelerate to 100km/h
in 12sec and will complete a
highway overtake in 8.7sec (80-
120km/h). The engine is a willing
worker and charms with its quiet
operating manner, there’s even a
sport mode if you want to have
the engine working over with a
bit more freedom.
When the corners arrive the
• Price – Suzuki Ignis
Limited, $24,490
• Dimensions – Length,
3700mm; width, 1690mm;
height, 1595mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1242cc, 66kW,
120Nm, continuously
variable automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 12sec
• Fuel usage – 4.9l/100km
Ignis has tidy handling manners.
It’s important to note the Limited
version gets wheels an inch in
diameter bigger than the GLX
models. Shod with grippy 175/60
x 16in Bridgestone tyres, the
Limited has solid steering feeland
definite directional accuracy.
In terms of suspension control
the Ignis does well given the
limitation of its torsion beam
rear axle, but sensible spring and
damper rates provideacceptable
levels of in-cabin comfort with
little body movement in a
corner. That comes down to the
lightweight of the Ignis, even
in Limited form it weighs just
over 900kg, that not only reaps
handling benefits but is one of the
contributors to sassy performance
and amazing fuel economy.
For a small car the Ignis is big
on specification. Some of the
major items include keyless entry
and ignition, digitally controlled
air conditioning, cruise control
with speed limiter, satellite
navigation, and Apple Car Play
and Android Auto. The latter
functions are operable through
a large centre dash mounted
screen. It is intuitive, simple to
navigate, and doubles as the
viewer for the rear camera.
Importantly, the Ignisalso gets
a high level of electronic kit for
safety, there’s a suite of safety
features that are too numerous
to list in detail, but I can report
that you can relax in the Ignis,
there are protection systems and
a myriad of functions to keep you
out of trouble in the first instance.
Even though Suzuki is
marketing the Ignis as a mini-
SUV, it must be remembered that
it is just a two-wheel-drive (front)
model only and shouldn’t be
asked to travel cross-country.
However, it is a car that charms
with its ability, and don’t let its
diminutive stature fool you, it is
a fun car to drive and to be in. If
you are a person who is drawn to
abstract and like things just a little
out of the ordinary, then the Ignis
is the car for you, its interesting
shapes, colours and standalone
exterior will surely please.
Least of all, its five-year
warranty by Suzuki New Zealand
and the enterprising maintenance
programme from Christchurch’s
dealership makes it an affordable
and rewarding purchase.

4 bedrooms, 2 living, 1 study, 4 bathrooms, 3 car garaging
Enjoying a prime yet private position off the prestigious Redcliffs waterfront,
this luxuriously appointed residence responds magnificently to the needs
of modern lifestyles and achieves comfort and flexibility within a skilfully
composed floor plan. Designed by local architect Marcus Stufkens, the twolevel
layout has been exquisitely arranged with well-considered spaces and
serves up exceptional living and accommodation options across both floors.
The home’s upper level is dedicated to everyday living and hosts the primary
open-plan entertaining area, which exudes modern appeal and steps outdoors
to two sheltered balconies that capture views of the water. An attractive
family bathroom and two of the home’s four bedrooms are also situated
upstairs, including the master suite that comes complete with a luxurious
walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. An alternative living zone and additional kitchen
occupy the ground floor, which is favourable for families craving space, or

or have extended guests. Further bedrooms and bathrooms are positioned
downstairs, ensuring your options are cleverly distributed across both floors.
Entertaining in style outdoors is assured with a supreme alfresco environment
that comprises a volcanic stone fireplace and spa, while the outdoor shower
provides the perfect spot to freshen up after a day at the beach. Versatility
is heightened by the presence of a media room and dedicated study with
stunning in-built cabinetry, while an extensive three-car garage, ample on-site
parking and a sauna round out this endlessly appealing residence.
