Is Lyttelton SailGP-ready? 

Lyttelton resident Chris Brown is worried about how Lyttelton will look to the estimated 250 

million people who will view the port town when the prestigious sailing event SailGP hits 

the harbour waters next January. He is especially concerned about The Mitre, the historic 

hotel damaged beyond repair during the earthquakes. However, other residents are feeling 

optimistic, looking forward to the “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” the event presents.

Akaroa 

Museum 

in line for 

funding 

cuts 

• By Samantha Mythen 

QUESTIONS ARE being asked 

after Akaroa Museum has been 

put in line for future funding cuts. 

The city council’s Long Term 

Plan dictates a 10 per cent cut in 

the Akaroa Museum’s operational 

budget from 2022. 

Consequently, the museum will 

lose $40,000. 

In a deputation to the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board, 

the Friends of Akaroa Museum 

told the community board that 

although the cut may seem a 

small amount, it presents a “huge 

challenge” to the museum. 

The museum is open seven days 

a week and has attracted more 

than 24,000 domestic visitors in 

the past year. 

As a result of the Long Term 

Plan, the museum group is asking 

whether the city council values 

Akaroa’s history and taonga 

(treasures). 

The group would like to see a 

reverse in the funding cuts. 

It originally submitted to the 

draft Long Term Plan.

LYTTELTON WILL be in 

the spotlight of world 

yachting next year when 

SailGP arrives. 

But what will those TV eyes 

from around the globe see? 

That’s the question reporter 

Samantha Mythen put to 

people in the port and the 

responses have not been overly 

positive (see pages 4, 5 and 6). 

There is a lot of concern 

about the lack of progress 

in Lyttelton since the earthquakes 

and how that will look 

when SailGP is televised across 

the world. 

Empty plots, rundown 

abandoned buildings and 

cracked pavements. There is 

also concern about the state of 

some of the roads. 

Lyttelton could be a gem 

for Canterbury with its great 

landscapes and wealth of 

history. 

But it is still a long way from 

getting there.

Communities encouraged to take 

lead in tsunami response planning 


THE MOST resilient 

communities during a tsunami 

are those that are the most 

connected and the most 

prepared, said Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

chairwoman Alexandra Davids. 

The community board has requested 

the city council provides 

it with more information on 

what tsunami evacuation planning 

for Sumner and Redcliffs 

has already taken place between 

the council and Civil Defence. 

Davids said that there had 

been tsunami event planning 

after the November 14, 2016, 

Kaikoura earthquake, but the 

community board was unsure 

on what conclusion had been 

reached. 

“We want to know what areas 

of planning need more support, 

and how we can get different 

groups and organisations together 

to make sure everyone is 

prepared and on the same page,” 

she said. 

“At the moment, the information 

is quite hodge-podge.” 

City council head of civil 

defence and emergency management 

Rob Orchard said there 

are currently no suburb-specific 

tsunami emergency plans developed 

by the city council, other 

than those developed with the 

community. 

However, Orchard said under 

the city council’s Long Term Plan 

21–31, community response plans 

for emergencies form part of the 

Civil Defence emergency management 

unit’s levels of service. 

“This is essentially where communities 

are actively supported 

by the city council to develop 

specific and appropriate response 

plans for their community,” he 

said. 

“These plans are developed 

by the community and for the 

community.” 

Orchard explained this year’s 

city council’s Know Your Zone 

campaign, promoting tsunami 

evacuation zones, has helped 

individual communities to 

understand the tsunami risk 

and what actions they need to 

consider when planning. 

RESPONSE: 

More 

information 

has been 

requested 

from the 

city council 

to ensure 

seaside 

communities 

Sumner and 

Redcliffs are 

prepared in 

the event of 

a tsunami.

GEOFF 

SLOAN 

The Sumner community 

has already shown initiative in 

coming together to create its 

own specific tsunami evacuation 

plan, which will be continually 

supported by the city council. 

The Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association has 

worked with civil defence 

experts such as the Sumner 

Volunteer Fire Brigade and 

Civil Defence Emergency 

Management. 

As a result, the village has been 

Lisa 

Sparrow 

divided into four quadrants, and 

depending on where you live or 

where you are when an earthquake 

hits or the call to evacuate 

comes, this dictates which hill 

you must go to. 

Residents’ 

association 

co-chairperson 

Liza Sparrow said: 

“The message is 

that you are expected 

to evacuate 

to the nearest hill 

instead of driving 

across the neighbourhood so we 

can avoid traffic congestion.” 

She also said that when going 

up the hill, people must drive as 

far as they can into the hills, to 

avoid traffic jams at the bottom. 

“Every neighbourhood should 

have their own local plan.” 

Another Sumner-specific 

initiative is putting a green bin 

at the end of their driveway, 

indicating a resident’s home is 

available for others to stay in 

until the tsunami passes or the 

area is declared safe again. 

Said Sparrow: “If you want to 

host, putting your green bin out 

shows you have room at the inn. 

Green is for go.”

Call to spruce up Lyttelton before 


EMPTY PLOTS, run-down 

abandoned buildings, cracked 

pavements and ageing 

information signs. 

Scars leftover from the earthquakes. 

These are the sights that could 

welcome the influx of SailGP 

teams and spectators set to visit 

Lyttelton next January as the 

prestigious sailing competition 

comes to its harbour. 

That is if major work to repair 

and tidy the port town is not 

completed in time. 

Resident Chris Brown is a 

voice among many who is not 

convinced Lyttelton will be up to 

the standards the international 

spotlight demands. 

“My key worry is the look of 

Lyttelton when people arrive. 

The hideous Mitre on the waterfront, 

the empty spaces and 

run-down signs,” he said. 

Brown says the historic hotel 

The Mitre is a disgrace. It has 

stood in its dangerous state of 

disrepair since being damaged in 

the earthquakes. 

“I am not at all convinced the 

city council will have moved 

forward with its demolition in 

time for SailGP,” he said. 

Owners of The Mitre Hotel 

have applied for a resource consent 

for the building’s demolition 

CONCERNED: Lyttelton residents are worried Lyttelton will not be ready for the SailGP 

spotlight next year, especially with the downtrodden The Mitre still yet to be demolished. 

and the city council said they 

are still waiting for information 

from the applicant. 

The owners said the building 

will be demolished as soon 

as possible after the resource 

consent is issued. Currently, 

company director and property 

manager Tony Ward said they 

arrange for any tagging to be 

painted over when spotted. 

A new development will be 

built on the site when the venture 

becomes economically viable. 

The owners hope the building 

will be of similar footprint 

and size and incorporate some 

heritage elements characteristic 

of the present and former Mitre 

building. 

“This is sometime off however, 

due to economic considerations 

with both Covid-19 and 

local growth and development,” 

Ward said. 

Kirsty Macnab is glad The 

Mitre will be pulled down and 

Fay Jeffery agreed. 

“It should have been pulled 

down years ago,” Jeffery said. 

Jeffery said she almost ended 

up in a car crash due to the 

orange barriers around the 

hotel preventing a clear view of 

oncoming traffic when turning 

from Canterbury St onto Norwich 

Quay. 

“It is so dangerous,” she said. 

“If there was another earthquake, 

the place could easily fall 

down on people walking around 

it.” 

Bryce Sabe of Lyttelton said 

he thought the port would not 

be ready for the big event unless 

certain things occurred, such as 

getting rid of all the rubbish. 

Lyttelton Business Association 

chairwoman Vicki Tahau Paton’s 

biggest concern is the roading 

part of the Bridle Path track into 

Lyttelton. 

“The road needs more than 

repair work, it is dangerous,” she 

said. 

“No one is taking these concerns 

seriously enough but there 

will be lots of people walking 

over the hill for the event.” 

Canterbury, we need to talk about our changing climate. We know this isn’t an easy topic. Or a small one.

January’s sailing event 

Some work has already begun 

in the town, however residents 

think it is poor that it has taken 

an international boating event for 

an increased pace of upgrades to 

Lyttelton. 

Public toilets next to the 

Lyttelton Information Centre on 

Oxford St were already identified 

by the city council – prior to the 

SailGP event – as needing to be 

upgraded. 

Design work has now begun 

for changing the inside of the 

toilets, such as including baby 

changing facilities and making 

the toilets unisex. Construction 

work will begin in October. 

The city council is aiming to 

complete the toilet upgrade by 

December. 

Brown also has concerns about 

whether Lyttelton will be able to 

cope with the influx of guests, 

specifically the traffic management 

plans. 

“I am not convinced the traffic 

plan will work,” he said. 

Macnab said she is taking a 

week off work as “driving in and 

out of Lyttelton will be a nightmare,” 

she said. 

A ChristchurchNZ spokesperson 

said SailGP is currently 

preparing a traffic management 

plan for the event, taking into account 

issues such as congestion, 

parking, safety, emergency access 

and access for residents. 

The city council will then 

review this plan. 

“We are working closely with 

other partner agencies to ensure 

lessons learnt from previous 

events in Lyttelton are incorporated 

into the plan to make sure 

the event can maintain a functioning 

transport network,” said 

a city council spokesperson. 

The high-speed sailing event 

will take place on Lyttelton Harbour 

on January 29 and 30, 2022. 

It will be the penultimate 

grand prix of the season before 

the grand final in San Francisco 

in March. 

The race involves teams in F50 

catamarans racing against each 

other reaching speeds in excess of 

50 knots or 90km/h. 

“Although this event is great 

overall for the community, 

Christchurch and New Zealand, 

I am not sure if Lyttelton will be 

ready,” said Brown. 

Jeffery agreed and said Lyttelton 

is the forgotten town. 

“ChristchurchNZ are really 

promoting this for Christchurch 

city and the benefits it will bring 

for Christchurch,” said Brown. 

“But the fact the event will be 

held in the beautiful harbour and 

in Lyttelton just seems incidental. 

As is always the case, Lyttelton is 

considered a suburb rather than 

its own place.” 

However, a ChristchurchNZ 

spokesperson said the Lyttelton 

township, the harbour and 

Rāpaki will feature in aspects of 

‘CUTE’: Charlotte McSweeney (left) and Isobel 

Melhuish from Christchurch think Lyttelton’s 

empty sites are the perfect picnic spot. 

SailGP’s marketing. 

“SailGP will boost our reputation 

as a city with incredible outdoor 

assets, a passionate sporting 

and sailing community, and the 

infrastructure and capability to 

hold major international events,” 

they said. 

Ross Morrison is also taking a 

more positive view. 

“Of course we will be ready. 

Absolutely. We’ve got to stay 

positive,” he said. 

He already has friends booked 

in to stay at his home during the 

event. 

“This could be a once-in-a 

-lifetime thing,” he said. 

Morrison hopes that before 

the event starts the Woolstore 

buildings at Te Ana Marina will 

be leased out to hospitality businesses. 

They are currently empty. 

Charlotte McSweeney and Isobel 

Melhuish from Christchurch 

thought Lyttelton was “quite 

cute,” and the empty sites offered 

a place to “sit, chill out and have 

a picnic.” 

Charlie Fawkner agreed: “Lyttelton 

has that cute charm about 

it.” 

Lyttelton resident Eva Bennett 

also does not mind the empty 

sites. 

“Lyttelton should not be 

glamorised anymore just for the 

international spotlight,” Bennett 

said. 

Fawkner, however, did wonder 

about Lyttelton’s infrastructure.

“There’s not really any accommodation 

in Lyttelton other than 

the hotel at Governors Bay,” he 

said. 

As a result he said, many Lyttelton 

residents are choosing to 

move out that weekend and rent 

out their homes 

via services such 

as Air BnB. 

They are also 

marking up the 

prices. 

“The economic 

situation that 

will result from 

the event will 

be fantastic,” 

Fawkner said. 

A ChristchurchNZ spokesperson 

said the estimated visitor 

spend is $3 million. 

“The influx of visitors watching 

the event is expected to generate 

significant revenue for hospitality 

businesses throughout the bays, 

while the worldwide exposure of 

the beauty and hospitality of the 

region is expected to raise its profile 

in positive ways,” they said. 

However, they would not 

confirm the investment 

ChristchurchNZ has put into the 

event. 

Little Ship Club president and 

Yachting New Zealand director 

Victoria Moore is part of a 

SailGP “legacy and leverage” 

group, discussing the impact 

of the event on the community 

with the city council and event 

organisers. 

“A lot of work is going on 

behind the scenes to ensure the 

event runs smoothly, as well 

as disruptions to residents are 

minimised as much as possible, 

especially in terms of traffic 

management,” she said. 

Moore said there have been 

discussions of including a bus 

ride in the event ticket price 

and there being other incentives 

offered so people choose not to 

drive to Lyttelton. 

In terms of Lyttelton needing 

a “tidy up,” Moore said there is 

only so much that could be done 

in the limited amount of time 

they have, hence priorities such 

as work at the $4 million upgrade 

at Naval Point, which began at 

the end of June. 

The upgrade includes replacing 

an ageing water main, upgrading 

utilities and making foreshore 

improvements, a city council 

spokesperson said. 


ASTHETICS: Some Lyttelton residents are worried about the look of their port – with 

empty plots of land and abandoned buildings, such as The Mitre (above right).

Worldwide exposure for port 

Charlie 

Fawkner 

Moore is positive the event 

is an incredible opportunity to 

showcase Christchurch to the 

world. 

SailGP is expected to attract a 

televised audience of an estimated 

250 million people. 

Tahau Paton is also on the 

committee. She said the work 

being done is “awesome.” 

A city council spokesperson 

said it is looking at what road 

works can be completed at Naval 

Point, alongside what improvements 

can be made to signage 

and vehicle and pedestrian access 

between Te Ana Marina and the 

site, prior to the event. 

“SailGP will communicate 

the impacts of the transport 

management plan to Lyttelton 

and Lyttelton Harbour residents, 

as well as the wider Christchurch 

community, with help from 

ChristchurchNZ and the city 

council,” they said. 

Museum priority 

raised with council 

• From page 1 

It asked whether the size of 

cuts to Akaroa Museum was 

the same as those being proposed 

elsewhere, such as to the 

Christchurch Art Gallery. 

The group also asked whether 

the museum was considered a 

lower priority site by the city 

council. 

However, they are yet 

to receive any response. 

In its deputation, the 

museum group noted 

other city council-funded 

cultural and heritage 

facilities were to receive 

maintained or greater 

levels of funding in the 

Long Term Plan, such 

as $5.5 million towards 

the Arts Centre and 

$11.8 million to the McDougall 

Art Gallery. 

It told the deputation it was 

“worried about the inequity” being 

shown towards the museum, 

which holds significant historical 

stories. 

Community board chairwoman 

Tori Peden said it supports the 

service that the museum provides 

to the community and is also 

concerned that less funding will 

mean a loss of that service. 

It has referred the deputation to 

the city council. 

“We need to see what the 

funding cuts will look like on the 

ground,” she said. 

Tori Peden 

Akaroa was the site of the first 

formal European settlement in 

the South Island. 

The Treaty of Waitangi was 

signed in the Akaroa area by two 

Māori chiefs, Iwikau and Tikau. 

The area was also the site of two 

attacks by Te Rauparahau on the 

local tangata whenua at Takapuneke 

and Onawe. 

The deputation was 

supported by the Comte 

de Paris Descendants 

Group, the Libeau Family, 

and the Akaroa Cemeteries 

Group, totalling about 

460 residents. 

Art Gallery director 

Blair Jackson told Bay 

Harbour News the city 

council had chosen to 

make budgets cuts to the 

Akaroa Museum as part of the 

city-wide Long Term Plan process 

to actively look for ways to reduced 

spending and ensure rates 

increases are kept to a minimum. 

Said Jackson: “The required 

savings target for Akaroa Museum 

are not forecast to begin 

until fiscal year 2023. This extra 

year is to assist the museum to 

identify areas where savings can 

be made. There is also the Annual 

Plan process which will offer the 

ability to revisit the Museum’s 

operational funding.” 

The Friends of the Akaroa 

Museum did not want to provide 

further comment at this stage. 

UNCERTAIN FUTURE: Akaroa Museum is facing funding 

cuts.

OUTSTANDING: Principal researcher Dr Huitong Zhou 

(left), lab manager Freeman Fang (centre), and laboratory 

director Professor Jon Hickford were recognised at the 

Primary Industry Awards. 

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY gene 

marker laboratory director 

Professor Jon Hickford from 

Lyttelton has been recognised for 

outstanding work in his field. 

He received the science and 

research award at the annual 

Primary Industry Awards this 

month. 

The lab’s main research focus 

is genetic variation in ruminants 

and its association with 

economically important traits. 

It has developed tests for genes 

which underpin milk, meat and 

wool production, and that make 

livestock resilient to disease and 

environmental challenges. 

Hickford has worked at the 

university since 1989, teaching 

Got thoughts 

to share? 

Are you a positive person with constructive ideas and a passion 

for Banks Peninsula? 

You may like to help us as we design and build a new wastewater scheme 

for Akaroa. 

Christchurch City Council has approved a wastewater treatment system 

that will reclaim and reuse treated wastewater. This will include reuse in 

Akaroa and irrigation to new areas of native trees and plants in Robinsons 

Bay, Takamātua and Hammond Point and a new wetland site on Old Coach 

Road next to a new treatment plant. 

We are setting up a community reference group for the project to ensure 

community concerns are understood and, where possible, addressed. 

We need up to five community volunteers to join representatives of the 

Banks Peninsula Community Board, Ōnuku Rūnanga and our project team. 

The group will help us in the lead-up to our irrigation consent application. 

The role of its members is to suggest ways to address community concerns 

and ideas to enable the project to be as beneficial as possible to the 

community, through opportunities for improved recreation, heritage, 

education, ecology, landscape and the like. 

If this interests you and you have constructive ideas, we’d love to hear 

from you.

COLOURS GALORE: Eleanor Grimshaw’s exhibition 

at The Rock runs until the end of August. 

Feel-good exhibition opens 


FOR SUMNER local Eleanor 

Grimshaw, the power of art is 

making people feel good when 

they look at it. 

Viewers can experience this 

feeling at her latest exhibition. 

Day-to-day, Grimshaw works 

as a client relationship manager 

at Opes Partners, but as a side 

hustle she creates multi-coloured 

floral artworks that express a 

playful imagination. 

Last year, the team at The 

Rock asked her if she would like 

to exhibit some of her work, 

which she did after the Covid-19 

lockdown ended. 

Earlier this month, her second 

exhibition at The Rock opened. 

Although Grimshaw usually 

creates photo-realistic portraits, 

after Covid-19, she said: “I 

wanted to create something 

colourful, that would make 

people smile and feel positive.” 

This theme continues in her 

latest exhibition, which features 

a vibrant wall of colour, 

including fruits, flowers and 

people. 

Grimshaw has worked with 

watercolour, acrylic and pen 

overlays.

Supercars 

The Great Australian Sporting Rivalry Story 

by Luke West 

V8 Supercars is a great Australian sporting success story, 

still going strong for over a quarter of a century. It was 

the first local race series to gain a mainstream national 

following, catapulting the likes of Peter Brock and 

Dick Johnson to fame against the backdrop of Mount 

Panorama, Bathurst. These days the sport draws 

huge crowds, attracts big-dollar TV rights deals and a 

new generation of heroes have appeared battling over 

old territory, plus a host of new street circuits, turning 

this Australian motor sport into a globally recognised 

phenomenon. 

The V8s have evolved into today’s Supercars Championship, 

creating household megastars such as Craig Lowndes, Marcos Ambrose, Jamie 

Whincup and Scott McLaughlin. Supercars gives detailed insight into how each 

and every championship was won, tracking the development of the Supercars 

class between 1993-2010. 

This comprehensive and absorbing account of a uniquely Australian sport is a 

must for any race fan’s bookshelf. 

A Woman of Intelligence 

by Karin Tanabe 

An exhilarating tale of one remarkable woman’s journey find her purpose, and 

herself, in post-war America. New York, 1954. 

A Fifth Avenue address, parties at the Plaza, two healthy sons and the ideal 

husband: what looks like a perfect life for Katharina Edgeworth is anything but. 

As a single girl in 1940s Manhattan, Katharina was a translator at the newly 

formed United Nations, devoting her days to her work and the promise of world 

peace - and her nights to cocktails and the promise of a good time. 

Now the wife of a beloved pediatric surgeon and heir to a shipping fortune, 

Katharina is trapped in a gilded cage, desperate to escape the constraints of 

domesticity. So when she is approached by the FBI and asked to join their ranks 

as an informant, Katharina seizes the opportunity. 

A man from her past has become a high-level Soviet spy, but no one has 

been able to infiltrate his circle. Enter Katharina, the perfect woman for the job. 

Navigating the demands of the FBI and the secrets of the KGB, she becomes 

enthralled by her secret mission. But as those closest to her lose their covers, 

and their lives, Katharina’s secret soon threatens to ruin her.

Theatre troupe shines on and off stage 


THEY ARE mums, dads, 

personal assistants and teachers 

by day – and amateur thespians 

by night. 

Next month they are taking 

to the stage in Sumner as part of 

the Matuku Community Theatre’s 

annual variety show. 

The troupe has been performing 

in the seaside suburb 

for more than 100 years. Their 

cabaret-style shows started more 

than 50 years ago. 

During the past century, the 

group has weaved together a rich 

tapestry of stories. And its members’ 

lives are almost as colourful 

as their performances. 

Liz Hinchey went to an exhibition 

on the group’s history earlier 

this year, where she found a 

photo of herself performing with 

her parents in Sumner in 1977. 

Hinchey grew up performing 

in shows with her family, including 

as part of the Diamond Harbour 

Peninsula Merrymakers. 

She officially joined the Matuku 

Community Theatre in 2004. 

There, she found love with fellow 

performer John Hinchey. 

She had heard John’s audition 

for the group. He had never performed 

in a show before, but she 

said he had a “very enthusiastic 

voice.” 

“He’s the better dancer, 

though,” Hinchey said. “I have 

two left feet.” 

When a snowstorm hit, Liz 

asked a friend for John’s number, 

then asked him if he would drive 

her to rehearsals through the 

snow. 

They have now been married 

for 14 years. 

Today the Matuku Takotako 

Sumner Centre is the home of 

Matuku Community Theatre, 

but the group spent many years 

performing in Sumner School’s 

old hall on Wiggins St, and prior 

to that in the old community 

centre. 

Said chairwoman Sarah Mankelow: 

“Community theatre is 

often a reflection of the place and 

people and popular culture at the 

time, either accidentally but also 

often with purpose.” 

She recalled a show called 

‘Sumner Through the Years,’ 

performed in 1990, which was 

a “whimsical look” at Sumner’s 

history. 

Mankelow has been the 

group’s chairwoman for the last 

two years. 

She joined the group 15 years 

ago as a new mum looking for 

some new friends. 

“I’d done drama at school but 

nothing really since then and it 

sounded like fun,” she said. 

“And it was! I met lots of 

other creative, musical people 

and some became my closest 

friends.” 

Mankelow has made plenty of 

memories, both on and off stage. 

In her first show, Mankelow 

performed as a “naughty elf,” a 

role that “gave her permission to 

be a kid again.” 

And after constantly playing 

Neil Diamond songs that were 

to feature in an upcoming show, 

Mankelow’s three-year-old began 

singing all the words. 

The community is at the heart 

of what the theatre is about. 

They sell six shows at a large 

discount to organisations, such 

as community groups, sports 

clubs and schools. Those groups 

then sell tickets to the show as 

their own fundraiser. 

This year Zonta, the 

Ferrymead Harriers and the 

Ferrymead Bays Football have 

already booked spots to raise 

money for their clubs. 

Other years, the theatre has 

hosted special fundraising shows 

for locals, such as Sacha Coburn’s 

breast cancer treatment and Mark 

Lane’s kidney transplant. 

This year’s cabaret will run 

each weekend from August 13 

until September 4. It will feature 

a variety of songs, dances, silly 

skits and surfing, including 

guest performances by the 

Firefly Belly Dancers and quartet 

Symptomatic Saga. 

A contribution from each show 

will be donated to the Sumner 

Hub for their koha workshop 

project. 

The group has already decided 

to make the opening night free of 

charge to senior groups in Sumner 

and Lyttleton, so they can enjoy a 

night of music and fun. 

Mankelow said moving the 

LOVE ON STAGE: Liz Hinchey joined the Matuku Community 

Theatre in 2004, where she met her future husband John 

Hinchey. The theatre group has been captivating audiences 

for more than 100 years, 

group to the Matuku Takotako 

Sumner Centre involved a lot of 

hard work. This, alongside the 

group having to take last year off 

due to Covid-19, has meant it has 

lost momentum. 

Mankelow hopes others will 

force themselves out of their 

comfort zones and join the 

supportive and fun theatre. 

“It’s a great feeling to get 

together with a group of people 

and be creative,’ she said. 

“Our shows are variety so we 

can adapt them to suit the talent 

we have.”

Treasures from the past 

THE UNION Steamship 

Company began regular sailings 

between Wellington and 

Lyttelton/Ōhinehou in 1895 with 

two round trips each week. 

In 1905, this became a daily 

service year-round. 

In 1933, the name ‘Steamer 

Express’ was adopted for the 

service, of which the Maori, the 

Hinemoa, the Rangatira, and 

the Tamahine were some of the 

vessels used. 

The following description 

of the interior of the Maori 

highlights the glamour of sailing 

journeys, for which many would 

don their best clothes. 

“The spacious music room 

is a veritable symphony in old 

gold and blue. Softly-yielding 

lounges invite contemplative 

inactivity, while the grand 

piano foreshadows unending 

possibilities. 

“The dining room, reached 

by a noble staircase of 

handsome woods, is of special 

magnificence, upholstered 

in crimson and decorated in 

subdued artistic tints of green 

and white and gold. 

“A lordly dome pierced and 

garnished with stained glass rises 

through the upper promenade 

deck, and may be lifted to

History). 

The ill-fated Wahine was 

another in the line and its tragic 

demise cast a dark cloud over the 

ferry service. 

With the advent of regular, 

faster, more affordable air travel 

in the early 1970s, the death knell 

for overnight ferry journeys was 

rung. 

The interisland service 

ended in 1976, bringing the 

Wellington–Lyttelton Steamer 

Express to an end, to the 

disappointment of many. 

Young Totara Award for 

life guard’s commitment 

A KEEN volunteer life guard has 

been recognised for his efforts 

with an award from Ferrymead 

Rotary. 

Niels de Beer was presented 

with a Young Totara Award in 

recognition of his work in the 

surf life saving community. 

De Beer has been involved with 

the Taylors Mistake Surf Life 

Saving Club for 10 years. He and 

his family joined the club after 

emigrating from the Netherlands. 

De Beer, who recently became 

a member of the Sumner Coastguard 

team, has learnt first aid, 

team building and leadership 

skills. 

Rotary’s Young Totara Award 

seeks to recognise the positive 

achievements of young people, 

promote sound role models for 

youth, and foster responsible 

attitudes towards the community. 

Awardees are presented with a 

totara tree and a certificate. 

Samantha Dryden, who lives in 

Halswell but regularly volunteers 

at Charlesworth Reserve in 

Ferrymead, often travelling there 

by bus, also received a Young 

Totara Award. 

Dryden is an avid conservationist 

with a special interest in 

ecology and climate change. 

She loves the work and does anything 

that is needed, including 

weeding, planting, pruning, 

digging holes. She enjoys the 

company of like-minded people 

and the opportunity to learn.

Mazda BT-50 an SUV in disguise 

I READ recently that Mazda’s 

new BT-50 pick-up could well be 

marketed as an alternative sport 

utility vehicle. 

Compelled to test that theory, 

I asked Mazda New Zealand if I 

could take the double cab utility 

on a long South Island road trip, 

leaving the vehicle in secured 

parking at Bluff while my wife 

and I took in a couple of days 

on Stewart Island, one of our 

favourite holiday destinations. 

It was an unusual choice of 

vehicle to travel such a distance 

in but it was a good choice, it was 

comfortable on that journey and 

easily met our needs. 

The evaluation ute was the 

base model variant, although it 

must be said GSX specification is 

not bare, there are high comfort 

levels, plenty of specification and 

enough kit to satisfy. Certainly, 

during our road trip there was 

nothing we felt it needed. 

Sure, there’s just cloth trim, no 

keyless entry or ignition and no 

satellite navigation; however, I 

could easily live without those 

items, and elsewhere there are all 

of the ingredients a modern ute 

owner would be satisfied with. 

Safety hasn’t been 

compromised either, all BT-50s 

get a five-star Australasian New 

Car Assessment Program rating, 

and for the those who would 

use the ute as a daily driver it 

is manageable and enjoyable to 

drive, I certainly felt at home 

in it during the 1200km return 

journey. 

Regular readers will recall 

my previous evaluations of the 

new BT-50, and it is all-new. 

The Mazda Motor Corporation 

joined forces with the giant Isuzu 

conglomerate to develop the 

latest generation model. It shares 

many components with the Isuzu 

D-Max, notably the driveline. 

The BT-50 here is available in 

both two and four-wheel-drive, 

and all have six-speed automatic 

transmissions. There are six BT- 

50 variants starting at $47,490 

for the base model (2WD) and 

ending at $60,990 for Limited 

specification. The base model 

four-wheel-drive I took south 

lists at $54,490, if you do want a 

few extra goodies but don’t want 

Limited specification, a mid-spec 

GTX lists at $58,490 ($51,490, 

2WD). 

Under the bonnet sits Isuzu’s 

four-cylinder turbocharged diesel 

engine. It’s a 3-litre unit and is 

rated with 140kW and 450Nm. 

There are no surprises here, this 

engine has been around for a few 

years but it has been the subject 

of a long and steady refinement 

process. 

Today, it is smooth and 

sophisticated, and the areas where 

power and torque are developed 

are low in the rev band so it’s a 

happy low down hauler. During 

my journey the rev counter was 

constantly sitting at 1400rpm in 

CRUISER: High levels of comfort on a highway haul. 

MAZDA BT-50 GSX: According to the signwriting – five-year fixed price servicing, five-year 

warranty and five-year roadside assistance . 

at 100km/h, it is relaxed at that 

speed and is quiet. It also returns 

an 8l/100km instantaneous rating 

(converted from a km/l readout). 

I took the evaluation car back 

to the dealership with a 9l/100km 

combined average usage that 

fits well with Mazda’s claim of 

8l/100km, proving relaxed long 

distance cruising is beneficial to 

economy. 

Our long trip wasn’t the only 

use I put the evaluation car to, 

it arrived at a very opportune 

time. The recent weather bomb 

that hit Canterbury took its toll 

on the Kiddie-home. It exposed 

three sheets of leaky corrugated 

roofing iron that necessitated a 

quick repair. Thankfully, a young 

builder who is familiar with 

the renovation process on our 

home came at short notice and 

he immediately replaced some 

rusty sections. I used the BT- 

50 to dispose of the waste, also 

taking the opportunity to buy a 

new locally-manufactured ladder 

to replace an old one I had been 

using at home that had become 

dangerous. 

It’s these kinds of tasks that 

make today’s double-cab so 

versatile, you can throw anything 

on the deck and yet it still has the 

family-friendly in-cabin structure 

that works in the everyday role. 

While most of our road trip 

was on the fabulous undulating 

• Price – Mazda BT-50 GSX, 

$54,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5280mm; width, 1870mm; 

height, 1790mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2999cc, 140kW, 450Nm, 

six-speed automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h,

• Fuel usage – 8l/100km 

roads the South Island has to 

offer, the few handling challenges 

were met with dignity and 

aplomb. The BT-50 has definite 

steering feel and composure in a 

corner. 

It’s fair to say the ladder chassis 

and rear live axle set-up aren’t 

conducive to handling prowess, 

but the BT-50 isn’t awkward, it 

feels balanced and controlled, 

which just serves to prove if you 

have a live rear axle and leaf 

springs located well then the ride 

and control in a corner is well 

organised. 

That is something the tyre 

manufactures have also kept in 

mind over the years, Dunlop 

has developed its Grandtrek 

compound to the extent where 

grip is high and travel is quiet, 

the big 255/65 x 17in tyres are 

informative and contribute to the 

balance and feel of the ute in all 

conditions. 

Our road trip was on a mix 

of wet and dry roads, and never 

at any point did I feel the BT-50 

lacked ability, it feels well attached 

to the road. 

Route closures due to the big 

South Canterbury flooding events 

meant short distances on broken 

and unsealed roads, the spring 

and damper rates of the BT-50 

have been chosen so that comfort 

levels aren’t jeopardised, yet 

they don’t compromise the load 

bearing ability of the ute. On that 

subject, the BT-50 is a genuine 

one-tonner and has a 3500kg tow 

rating. 

My time in the evaluation car 

was as far from its design role 

as you could get, however, I was 

exploring the claim that utes are 

manufactured for all purposes, 

and the BT-50 certainly ticked 

one of the boxes – it’s a genuine 

open-road traveller that will 

whisk the family to holiday 

destinations with ease. If you 

want a working ute that doubles 

as family transport for the 

weekend, don’t be put off with the 

base model BT-50, it still has the 

goods. 

Signwriting on the evaluation 

car pointed to the after-sale 

MazdaCare programme – fiveyear 

fixed price servicing, 

five-year warranty and five-year 

roadside assistance. All in all, that 

makes for a worry-free purchase.

Loved and cherished by our current owners 

for over 30 years it is now time for new owners 

to enjoy and make memories of their own. 

Elevated and perfectly positioned to take 

advantage of the all day sun, the home also 

takes in spectacular views capturing ocean 

and estuary vistas, stretching out to the 

Kaikouras, Southern Alps and across to the 

illuminated city centre by night. 

This appealing property offers huge 

potential for modern enhancement, inevitably 

adding value. Mostly in original condition 

and well maintained, however visionary 

purchasers will see the opportunity to renovate 

and create something special with this blank 

canvas of good bones. 

All of the living is on the upper level which 

includes a separate kitchen, dining and 

lounge, all of which showcase those stunning 


views. Also on this level are three bedrooms, 

all with generous wardrobe storage, with the 

master having magnificent views to wake up 

to every morning. The two bathrooms and 

separate laundry are a lifesaver in the 

morning rush. The sunny patio overlooking 

the well established gardens is yet another 

vantage point to enjoy those views whilst 

entertaining family and friends. 

The added bonus of this home is that you can 

maximise the footprint further as there is a 

large room downstairs next to the very 

spacious double garage that can be made 

into an office, rumpus room or even a selfcontained 

bedroom - the options are endless. 

The Mt Pleasant lifestyle is yours to embrace. 

Enjoying easy access to the city and the sand, 

the convenience of the location cannot be 

overstated with Ferrymead shops, the city 

centre and Sumner Beach all within easy 

reach. Zoning for Mt Pleasant Primary will 

undoubtedly appeal to growing families 

wanting to secure their spot in this extremely 

popular neighbourhood. 

Opportunities like this are few and far 

between at the moment so don't let this one 

slip through your fingers! 

Viewing at your earliest is advised.
