Beachfront apartments 

closer to being built 

• By Samantha Mythen 

THE CONTROVERSIAL 

Sumner apartments may be one 

step closer to being built. 

Marriner 

Developments 

Ltd part 

owner Shane 

Kennedy, who is 

developing the 

Marriner St site, 

has met with 

Shane 

Kennedy 

the city council 

in recent weeks 

over more 

information 

needed for a resource consent 

application. 

A resource consent was 

submitted in December last year, 

and further information was 

requested by the city council in 

February. 

The maximum height of 

buildings under the Sumner 

Master Plan is 13m. The 

proposed new apartment is 

about 16.45m in height. 

Marriner Developments has 

acknowledged in the resource 

content application that it is a 

non-compliant activity because 

of the height.

THE ARTIST’S impression 

of the planned apartments in 

Sumner looks great (see 

page 1). 

We reveal today the latest 

step in the long-running 

saga over the apartments, 

which were wrecked in the 

earthquakes. 

Marriner Developments 

Ltd wants to put up eight 

apartments, and a wine bar on 

the ground floor. 

A sticking point is the height 

of the complex – it is higher 

than the Sumner Master 

Plan allows for. That won’t be 

the be-all-and-end-all as to 

whether a resource consent 

gets over the line. But it will 

be a point any objectors to the 

development could use to try 

and stop it. 

The apartment complex 

looks like a great asset for 

Sumner. Time will tell whether 

it gets over the line.

Bid to remove graffiti from museum 


WORK TO remove graffiti 

covering the Torpedo Boat 

Museum in Lyttelton will start 

today, weather dependent, after 

10 complaints were received this 

year by the city council. 

Resident Dudley Jackson said 

he had complained to the city 

council several times this year 

and had been told the graffiti 

would be removed months ago. 

City council 

spokesman 

Wolfgang Bopp 

said the council 

met with a 

contractor last 

week to discuss 

Wolfgang 

Bopp 

removing 

the extensive 

amount of 

graffiti. 

“A combination of staffing and 

contractor availability, as well as 

the specialised training required 

for this type of graffiti removal, 

has led to the delay in sorting 

this particular site,” he said. 

It took six months and numerous 

continued complaints for an 

“apocalyptic” graffiti poem on 

the historic Lyttelton Gaol wall 

to be removed. 

The delay was because of similar 

reasons, the city council said. 

Lyttelton artist River Jayden 

has suggested creating a mural 

on the wall to hopefully deter 

future graffiti work. 

However, due to the historic 

nature of the building, Bopp 

said an option like that was not 

usually supported. 

“Visual obtrusiveness 

and impact on the external 

appearance of a heritage 

building, potential damage 

from paint on the fabric, and 

it possibly viewed as adverts/ 

messages are some of the 

concerns,” he said.

VANDALISM: The Torpedo Boat Museum has been covered in graffiti for months. 

Weather dependant, the graffiti will be removed from today. PHOTO: DUDLEY JACKSON 

The old powder magazine 

building hosts sections of 

Torpedo Boat No. 168, Defender. 

In 1885, the British Empire 

expected a war with the Russian 

Empire, after Russia had 

captured the Panjdeh region – in 

what is now Turkmenistan – in 

March 1885. 

All naval vessels across the 

British Empire were ordered 

to standby for deployment, 

including the Defender, a 2nd 

class Thornycroft spar torpedo 

boat. 

The boat shed that housed the 

Defender was constructed in 

1874. 

The latest city council “Graffiti 

Snapshot” on the Banks 

Peninsula has increased in the 

last two months. 

Thirteen tickets for graffiti 

removal were issued in May 

compared to 27 tickets issued 

in June.

NEW PLAYGROUND 

EQUIPMENT APPROVED 

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board has approved 

new playground equipment for 

Redcliffs Park, including a swing

Ruth Markham-Short in memory 

of their 23-month-old son Reuben 

Smith who died of meingococcal 

disease in late 2020.

SERVICES MOVING 

City council customer services in 

Akaroa will move back to the Old

out of a shared space with Akaroa 

library. 

TREATMENT PLANT 

UPGRADE PLANNED FOR 

DUVAUCHELLE 

The treatment plant at 

Duvauchelle will be upgraded 

as part of the Long Term Plan. 

This will reduce the requirement 

that tankers be used to supply 

drinking water to the area, which 

currently occurs when water is 

in short supply or when there are 

concerns about the water quality. 

The upgrade is currently in the 

planning and design phase and 

construction is expected to begin 

in 2023.

The Nine 

The True Story of a Band of Women Who Survived the Worst of 

Nazi Germany by Gwen Strauss 

The Nine follows the true story of the author’s great aunt Hélène Podliasky, who led a band 

of nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a 

ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris. 

The nine women were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms 

through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional 

sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They 

were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to 

a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting 

at different points, in prison, in transit, and at Ravensbrück. By the time they were enslaved 

at the labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of 

the war, forced onto a death march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape. 

Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative from Gwen Strauss is 

a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times. 

House of Kwa 

Wild Swans meets educated in this riveting true story spanning 

four generations by Mimi Kwa 

Mimi Kwa ignored the letter for days. When she finally opened it, the news was so shocking 

her hair turned grey. Why would a father sue his own daughter? The collision was over the 

estate of Mimi’s beloved Aunt Theresa, but its seed had been sown long ago. In an attempt to 

understand how it had come to this, Mimi unspools her rich family history in House of Kwa. 

One of a wealthy silk merchant’s 32 children, Mimi’s father, Francis, was just a little boy when 

the Kwa family became caught up in the brutal and devastating Japanese occupation of 

Hong Kong during World War II. Years later, he was sent to study in Australia by his now 

independent and successful older sister Theresa. There he met and married Mimi’s mother, 

a nineteen-year-old with an undiagnosed, chronic mental illness. Soon after, ‘tiger’ Mimi 

arrived, and her struggle with the past - and the dragon - began ... Riveting, colourful and 

often darkly humorous, House of Kwa is an epic family drama spanning four generations, and 

an unforgettable story about how one woman finds the courage to stand up for her freedom 

and independence, squaring off against the ghosts of the past and finally putting them to rest. 

True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee 

by Abraham riesman 

Stan Lee—born Stanley Martin Lieber in 1922—was one of the most beloved and influential 

entertainers to emerge from the twentieth century. He served as head editor of Marvel for three 

decades and, in that time, launched more pieces of internationally recognizable intellectual 

property than anyone other than Walt Disney: Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, Black 

Panther, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor . . . the list seems to never end. On top of that, 

his carnival-barker marketing prowess more or less single-handedly saved the comic-book 

industry and superhero fiction. Without him, the global entertainment industry would be 

wildly different—and a great deal poorer. But Lee’s unprecedented career was also filled with 

spectacular failures, controversy, and bitter disputes. Lee was dogged by accusations over 

who really created Marvel’s signature characters—for whom Lee had always been suspected 

of taking more than his proper share of credit. A major business venture, Stan Lee Media, 

resulted in stock manipulation, bankruptcy, and criminal charges. And in his final years, after 

the death of his beloved wife, Joan, rumors swirled that Lee was a virtual prisoner in his own 

home, beset by abusive grifters and issuing cryptic video recordings as a battle to control his 

fortune and legacy ensued. 

A Runner’s High 

by dean Karnazes 

The iconic superhuman endurance runner embarks on his toughest challenge yet-the Western 

States 100-offering insights into why running is so challenging and rewarding. 

Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits, from running in the 

shoe-melting heat of Death Valley to the lung-freezing cold of the South Pole. He’s raced and 

competed across the globe and once ran 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. 

In A Runner’s High, Karnazes chronicles his return to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance 

Run in his mid-fifties after first completing the race decades ago. The Western States, infamous 

for its rugged terrain and extreme temperatures, becomes the most demanding competition 

of his life, a physical and emotional reckoning and a battle to stay true to one’s purpose. 

Confronting his age, wearying body, career path and life choices, we see Karnazes as we 

never have before, raw and exposed. A Runner’s High is both an endorphin-fuelled page-turner 

and a love letter to the sport from one of its most celebrated ambassadors. 

Ethel Rosenberg: A Cold War Tragedy 

by Anne Sebba 

Ethel Rosenberg’s story has been called America’s Dreyfus Affair: a catastrophic failure of 

humanity and justice that continues to haunt the national conscience, and is still being played 

out with different actors in the lead roles today. 

On 19th June 1953 Ethel Rosenberg became the first woman in the US to be executed for a 

crime other than murder. She was thirty-seven years old and the mother of two small children. 

Yet even today, at a time when the Cold War seems all too resonant, Ethel’s conviction for 

conspiracy to commit espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union makes her story still controversial. 

This is an important moment to recount not simply what FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called 

the ‘trial of the century’, but also a timeless human story of a supportive wife, loving mother 

and courageous idealist who grew up during the Depression with aspirations to become an 

opera singer. Instead, she found herself battling the social mores of the 1950s and had her 

life barbarically cut short on the basis of tainted evidence for a crime she almost certainly did 

not commit. Ethel’s tragic story lays bare a nation deeply divided and reveals what happens 

when a government motivated by fear tramples on the rights of its citizens.

HEATHCOTE residents have 

slept soundly for the past few 

mornings now Tony the rooster 

has been captured. 

Last Tuesday, a “pretty vicious 

looking” rooster suddenly appeared 

in Jeremy McTear and his 

family’s backyard. 

“He was 

rather large and 

confident and 

very quickly 

made himself at 

home, digging 

up the lawn and 

hiding in the 

bushes,” McTear 

said. 

“He was all feather, talons 

and large beak with a bright red 

comb.” 

The family’s “guard” dog, Ziggy, 

who patrolled the garden, was 

out of action recovering from 

surgery. 

Over the next few days, Mc- 

Tear and his sons, Oliver, Jamie 

and Leon, attempted to catch 

Tony. 

However, he was quite the 

escape artist and at each attempt, 

he managed to flee and fly over 

a fence to terrorise their neighbour. 

“He was incredibly quick and 

able to escape through gaps that 

seemed impossibly small,” said 

McTear. 

“An hour or two later he’d appear 

at the door or window and 

taunt us or the dog. Sometimes 

he’d just sit in the neighbour’s 

gutter and glare.” 

Ziggy eventually took an 

interest, but only to “wandering” 

over to see what all the fuss was 

about. At seeing the rooster, Ziggy 

chickened out from his guard 

dog duties. 

They posted on the 

community Facebook page, 


Tony loses bid to rule the roost 

Jeremy 

McTear 

attempting to find Tony’s family, 

but to no avail. 

Tony had decided his new 

home was in their backyard. 

Each morning last week, Tony 

rudely woke the family and 

neighbours up at 5.20am, crowing, 

said McTear. 

Tony was finally captured on 

Thursday, when McTear, his 

wife Tina and three sons armed 

themselves with blankets, fishing 

nets, bread and a cat carry cage. 

TEAM EFFORT: (From 

left) – Oliver, Jamie and 

Leon successfully captured 

Tony, a rooster that was 

terrorising the family’s 

backyard. 

“It was a team effort (chase),” 

McTear said. 

Afterwards, with Tony safely 

secured in the cat cage, McTear 

said he was either in shock or 

playing dead. 

But he soon perked up 

when being transported to the 

SPCA, joining Simon, a chicken. 

“Staff said he was quite 

grumpy on arrival.” 

McTear said his sons asked for 

KFC on the way home. 

“We didn’t have a problem 

with that,” he said. 

“On Friday we all had a great 

sleep in.” 

Tony will be put up for 

adoption this week.

Four Square 

opening 

date set 


THE FOUR Square will open 

in the new Church Bay retail 

development on August 10. 

Owners Laura Palmer and 

James Grant, who also run On 

The Spot, said they had been 

working for nearly four years to 

open the store. 

“It was always our goal to get 

a Four Square here and for it to 

finally happen is so exciting,” said 

Grant. 

“Yes, it’s daunting, yes, we’re 

nervous, but the excitement absolutely 

overcomes this. The shop 

is starting to finally look like a 

supermarket.” 

A spokesperson for Spence 

Developments, which own the 

buildings, said the Four Square 

will be the most modern in the 

South Island. 

The supermarket is one of six 

tenancies in the Church Bay 

development. 

A cafe design is being developed 

for the last area and 80 per 

cent of the landscaping has been 

completed. 

“Final car park works are under 

way with lighting poles put up late 

last week,” said the spokesperson. 

“Footpaths have received 

asphalt and the car park will also 

be completed this week, weather 

permitting.”

Platform for coastal suburbs proposed in 

response to new ward boundaries 


THE SUMNER Community 

Residents’ Association is worried 

new ward boundaries will mean 

coastal suburbs facing similar 

coastal hazard adaptation issues 

will be unable to work together 

efficiently. 

In light of the city council’s 

representation review, the 

Heathcote Ward, including 

Sumner and Redcliffs, will be 

merged into Spreydon-Cashmere 

for the 2022 election. 

The residents’ 

association is 

concerned about 

the move, as the 

new ward does 

not face “similar 

Charlie 

Hudson 

vulnerabilities of 

coastal issues,” 

said Sumner Hub 

co-ordinator 

Charlie Hudson. 

It has written to Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

chairwoman 

Alexandra Davids to highlight 

the concerns. 

“We have asked them to assist 

the coastal wards to have a platform 

to come together to discuss 

and respond to upcoming city 

council and government advice,” 

said Hudson. 

It is hoped the community 

board will request a collaborative 

platform where coastal wards 

can “come together to share ideas, 

concerns and resources.” 

The residents’ association 

would like this platform to be 

set up prior to the city council’s 

working group recommendations 

on coastal hazards and advice 

being released later this year.

would like coastal suburbs to have a united voice.

It would mean representatives 

could better interpret the issues 

and relay them clearly to their 

communities, said Hudson. 

Hudson said it is important 

and necessary the coastal communities 

have a united voice. 

“Hopefully, this will balance 

our move into the Cashmere-Spreydon 

Ward, which will 

not be as affected,” she said. 

Davids said she had yet to 

discuss the idea with the community 

board but thought it was 

fantastic. 

“Obviously different communities 

in coastal areas are dealing 

with the same issues and having 

a platform for them to come together 

and discuss would be very 

meaningful,” she said. 

The idea will be discussed

at the next community board 

meeting in August. 

Redcliffs Residents’ Association 

Secretary Pat McIntosh said 

they had supported the amalgamation 

rather than establishing a 

coastal board. 

“Most Redcliffs people feel 

an affinity with the corridor in 

and out of town as we are all at 

the foot of the Port Hills,” said 

McIntosh. 

However, she said the residents’ 

association had not yet 

discussed the Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association 

coastal ward platform idea. 

The Sumner residents’ association 

had raised its concerns 

about the Heathcote Ward being 

separated from other coastal 

wards during consultations on 

the representation review. 

The review was adopted by the 

city council on June 18 and was 

open to appeals and objections 

from June 25 to July 26.

Eight apartments and 

a wine bar planned 

• From page 1 

The company will need to show 

that there will only be minor adverse 

environmental effects or that the activity 

will not be contrary to the objectives of the 

relevant plan. 

The apartments will be built on what 

was formerly known as the Cave Rock 

apartment complex, which was badly 

damaged in the earthquakes. 

A long battle followed between the 

owners of the 49 apartments and an onsite 

tavern with their insurer. Then there was 

more conflict over how to divide the $21 

million payout among apartment owners. 

That dispute was eventually settled in 

the High Court in 2019. 

Kennedy would not say how long his 

company had owned the site. 

The city council requested numerous 

information for the resource consent 

application, including issues related to 

flood hazards, zone-specific noise rules, 

sensitive activities near roads and railways, 

outdoor lighting, signs, minimum number 

of car park and cycle parking rules, 

manoeuvring for parking and loading 

areas, access design, earthworks, Ngāi 

Tahu values and the natural environment, 

and building height. 

Kennedy said is currently working on 

finalising a response to the city council. A 

date to hear the resource consent has not 

been set. 

He was hopeful building would start 

this year. 

“The apartment will be built at the 

entrance to Sumner and it’s a statement 

point,” said Kennedy. 

“The whole area was previously 

downgraded and old, it will be nice to 

give Sumner what it deserves with this 

Have Your Say: What do you think 

of the new apartments planned 

for Marriner St? Email samantha. 

mythen@starmedia.kiwi 

Keep reponses to 200 words or 

less 

new build.” 

The proposed build will be four levels, 

comprised of eight units and a wine bar on 

the ground floor. 

Kennedy has lived in Sumner for 

two years. He is planning to retain an 

apartment for himself. 

The apartment building design has 

drawn some criticism on the Sumner 

Community Facebook page. 

Kennedy said he had received mostly 

positive feedback, but understood people 

had different opinions. 

“If we all built the same house, Sumner 

would all be the same and that would be 

boring,” he said. 

“I didn’t expect everyone to like it.” 

Most negative comments focused on the 

height of the proposed apartments. The 

application site is zoned under the District 

Plan as residential medium density, 

with predominately two or three story 

buildings. 

Other people commented that they were 

just happy something was being built. 

A city council spokesperson said 

the owners had yet to formally finalise 

their response to the request for further 

information in regard to the resource 

consent. 

“Once this is received, it will be fully 

assessed and a recommendation made in 

relation to notification,” they said.

Most indoor plants love high 

humidity. It’s a great idea to mist 

your indoor plants once a week to 

create a humid environment. This 

helps avoid brown tips on leaves 

and is especially important during 

winter when our heating sources 

often dry the plants out.

Avoid using icy cold water when 

watering your houseplants through 

winter. Either mix a small amount of 

warm water in to create tepid water or 

leave your water out for a few hours 

before using. Most houseplants come 

from the tropics where it is much warmer 

& using cold water can shock the plants 

causing damage to roots & the leaves.

Shopping for stranded seafarers 

DELIVERY 

DRIVERS: Sailors 

stuck on ships 

are giving the 

Lyttelton Seafarers’ 

Centre about 

$10,000 each 

month to shop for 

them. 

PHOTO: NZ 

HERALD 


THE NEW Uber Eats. 

That’s how Lyttelton Seafarers’ 

Centre chaplain Reverend John 

McLister describes the centre, 

which is delivering up to $10,000 

of groceries and personal items 

to sailors stuck on ships in the 

port each 

month. 

All fully 

vaccinated 

and wearing 

personal 

protective 

equipment, 

McLister 

and his 

John McLister 

helpers 

provide the 

ships with 

Wi-Fi and SIM cards, assisting 

the seafarers to contact friends 

and family back home. 

Last month, they visited 45 

stores to meet the shopping 

requests. 

Common personal items they 

buy include toothpaste, vitamins 

and supplements, and souvenirs. 

The most popular items 

are Whitakers and Cadbury 

chocolate bars. 

Another regular request is for 

PlayStations and video games. 

The most oddball request was 

for a portable swimming pool, 

because the seafarers were bored, 

said McLister. 

The seafarers’ centre does 

not buy alcohol or cigarettes. 

However, it does stop off for 

takeaway orders such as pizza. 

“They just want a treat,” said 

McLister. 

Before Covid-19, seafarers 

would come ashore for rest and 

recuperation. 

However, border controls now 

restrict entry for most sailors. 

Those who are exempt from 

the border restriction are those 

who have been on a boat that 

has taken 14 days to get to New 

Zealand. Once here, they are 

given a Covid-19 test and if that 

comes back all clear, they can 

disembark. 

Due to border closures around 

the world, McLister said many 

seafarers have been stuck on 

ships for up to 12 months. 

“Most seafarers are unable 

to come off their boats and all 

the things they used to do, they 

are no longer able too,” said 

McLister. 

That is where the seafarers’ 

centre comes in. 

In June, there were 61 foreign 

ships that docked at port, and 

the seafarers’ centre visited those 

ships 84 different times. 

From June 2020 to April this 

year, more than $100,000 was 

received for shopping requests, 

and the 638 ships in port during 

that period were visited 888 

times by the seafarers’ centre. 

McLister also offers pastoral 

care for the seafarers, chatting 

about problems and concerns. 

In May 2020, the Government 

determined seafarers’ welfare 

supporters, such as chaplains, 

were essential workers. 

Lyttelton was the first port 

where a seafarers’ centre was able 

to visit ships. 

“Lyttelton became a model for 

other New Zealand ports,” said 

McLister. 

“The Government realised we 

needed funding, which was a 

big win.” 

McLister is proud of the 

work the Lyttelton Seafarers’ 

Centre does. 

“These people keep New 

Zealand alive. Giving [the 

seafarers] a warm welcome can 

help to alleviate some of the 

immense mental pressure they 

face.” 

The efforts are greatly 

appreciated by those on the 

ships. 

M.V Erisort captain C.M. 

Ranaweera wrote to the New 

Zealand seafarers’ centres 

to express his and his crews’ 

gratitude for them “going that 

extra mile.” 

“Lyttelton is a port town, 

founded on people who live 

and work at sea. Most Lyttelton 

people know someone in the 

past or present who has done 

so. Helping is part of Lyttelton’s 

DNA,” said McLister. 

“This is a natural response of 

being in a port town. 

“It would be a shame if it 

was forgotten.”

Urumau track upgrades approved 

UPGRADES: The diagonal track’s official approval means it can 

now be upgraded for better-shared use by both mountain 

bikers and walkers. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 


THE DIAGONAL track in 

Urumau Reserve has been 

approved after almost three 

years of campaigning by the 

Lyttleton Mountain 

Bike Club. 

Joshua Merriam, 

on behalf of the club, 

initially requested 

the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board 

approve the track 

upgrades at the 

reserve entrance 

during a meeting in 

March. 

The board then 

requested a report 

from city council on 

whether there were 

enough resources to improve 

the track. 

On Monday, the community 

board discussed the report, 

Joshua Merriam 

and unanimously approved the 

track. Said Merriam: “I am 

very glad this was approved 

and it can move forward 

with the city council rangers 

handling it.” 

Board chairwoman 

Tori Peden said it was 

good to finally move 

forward with the 

track and she hoped 

it would receive the 

upgrades by late spring 

or early summer. 

The track in 

question is a 

component of the 2018 

Urumau Development 

Plan. After the plan 

was passed, city 

council staff had put 

aside money and 

resources for the track to 

become official. 

However, no progress had 

been made since then to 

approve the access track into 

the reserve. 

Instead, it was still classified 

as a “proposed track,” in 

spite of being used by both 

mountain bikers and walkers 

to access the track. 

Inaction from discussions 

with the Lyttelton management 

reserves committee had 

prompted Merriam to take 

this project to the community 

board, including a petition 

with more than 100 signatures 

in favour of formalising the 

entire track. 

The reserves committee 

opposed the track’s 

formalisation, saying it had 

other priorities for track 

development and improving 

the diagonal track would 

distract them from other work. 

Merriam said there was still 

work to do on formalising the 

second half of the track. 

Birdlife to benefit from saltmarsh regen 


MORE THAN 2000 bushes are 

being planted in a bid to restore 

the Tunnel Rd saltmarsh. 

The habitat restoration 

project is situated in the area 

alongside the Heathcote River, 

immediately downstream of the 

Tunnel Rd bridge. 

City council parks biodiversity 

and regional parks ranger teams 

are working with the Ferrymead 

Heathcote saltmarsh group, 

which comprises of residents and 

interested people. 

The area had been partially 

filled in decades ago due to 

construction of the motorway, 

and then by earthquake 

liquefaction. 

More than half a hectare was 

burnt as a result of arson attacks. 

City council ecologist Andrew 

Crossland said excavation and 

new planting will enable the 

shallow inflow of tidal water to 

regenerate saltmarsh vegetation 

and enable self-colonisation of 

marsh plants over the burnt 

KEEN VOLUNTEERS: Ferrymead and Heathcote residents helping to regenerate the saltmarsh.

ground. 

Pied stilts, white-faced 

herons, marsh crake and the 

nationally critically endangered 

Australasian bittern are native 

bird life that will benefit from 

the habitat restoration. 

“Habitat restoration projects 

like this in locations where 

the tide can reach is the only 

way we can preserve and 

protect our estuaries and the 

internationally significant bird 

populations they support,” 

said Crossland. 

The latest planting day was 

earlier this month, with more 

than 800 plants put in. 

An initial planting day 

was held in April, which was 

attended by about 15 volunteers 

who planted about 180 native 

shrubs and grasses. 

Future working bees will 

meet regularly to continue 

the work that has been 

started.

MORE CONSULTATION 

PLANNED FOR DIAMOND 

HARBOUR PROPERTIES 

The city council has resolved to 

undertake additional targeted 

consultation regarding the 

properties at 27 Hunters Rd 

and 42 Whero Ave in Diamond 

Harbour. Planning is currently 

underway and the city council 

aims to begin community 

consultation from mid-August. 

The land was originally in 

the Long Term Plan for fast 

track disposal for property 

development, but submissions 

called for community 

consultation prior to sale. 

Treasures 

from the 

past 

HMAS Sydney (D48) at Lyttelton in 1946 

PHOTO: Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum 

collection 

 

HMS TERRIBLE was one of 

six majestic class light aircraft 

carriers commissioned for the 

British Royal Navy during World 

War 2. 

Laid down in 1943, launched 

late 1944, she was too late for war 

service. 

Acquired by the Royal Australian 

Navy in 1948, she was 

renamed His Majesty’s Australian 

Ship Sydney (III) in honour of 

the light cruiser HMAS Sydney 

(II) that sank in 1941 with the 

tragic loss of all aboard. 

HMAS Sydney (III) finally 

sailed from Devonport in the 

UK in early 1949, bound for 

Australia with a complement of 

Hawker Sea Furies on board. 

HMAS Sydney visited New 

Zealand several times over the 

next two decades, although the 

photograph shown here, docked 

at Lyttelton Port, is somewhat 

ambiguous as to the date. 

The reverse of the photo 

reads ‘17 G082 / HMAS Sydney 

berthed at Lyttelton / (about 

1946) / photographed by / F E 

McGregor / Z236.’ 

The estimated year 1946 is 

obviously too early as the carrier 

remained in the UK until 1949. 

However, if you look closely, the 

planes on deck appear to be Sea 

Furies, indicating she was in 

active carrier service at the time. 

Sydney’s first visit to New Zealand 

was in February 1950, when 

she called at Milford Sound, 

Akaroa, Lyttelton and Wellington, 

arriving in Auckland on 

March 15. 

The next recorded visit to 

our shores was between March 

and August 1953, but only to 

Auckland on return from the 

coronation of Queen Elizabeth 

II, with representatives of all 

three branches of the Australian 

and New Zealand defence forces 

on board. 

Finally, it appears that it 

was only after Sydney’s refit 

as a training ship, minus Sea 

Furies, that she returned to New 

Zealand on her first training 

cruise in May 1955. 

In the years afterward, HMAS 

Sydney trained in our fair waters 

several times. 

She also served as a troop 

transporter, which included 

transporting the first New 

Zealand infantry force sent to 

the Vietnam War in May 1967. 

Decommissioned in 1973, 

she was sold for scrap to South 

Korea. 

Given this brief history, it 

would seem certain then that the 

arrival in Lyttelton Port pictured 

above would have to date from 

sometime between February and 

mid-March 1950. 

If you can corroborate or 

correct that date for us please 

email Te Ūaka Lyttelton

Vashti Johnstone 

Little River Gallery 31 July – 24 August 

Vashti Johnstone is a contemporary New Zealand painter, 

new to Little River Gallery, but not new to exhibiting. Living 

and working on the South Island’s West Coast she has been 

a student of visual language forever, formalising her innate 

need to express and articulate with a Diploma in Painting, 

Aoraki Polytechnic (2001) 

Johnstones’s oeuvre applauds the vitality and importance 

of making art. Respectful of and roused by the lineage of 

creators who have gone before her and create alongside her, 

she pushes her practice in energizing and innovative ways, 

layering her charcoal and her paints into a colourful language 

that transcends beyond words. 

Echoing men and women known to Vashti, people who are 

present and others who have gone before her, Authentic 

Whisperings explores the tranquillity of people as they expose 

their flaws and vulnerabilities to the light, attaining wisdom, 

legitimacy and peace within the authenticity of their own skin.

Tobogganing on real snow captivated the youngsters at last year’s festival. 

WHILE WE may be experiencing 

a very chilly winter this year, that’s 

all the more reason to get the 

family together and head into the 

city for this year’s Winter Festival 

‘Chill in the City’. 

Run by the Central City 

Business Association with support 

from the city council and many 

of the city’s businesses, it follows 

last year’s very successful event, 

which attracted thousands to 

the central city with a range of 

exciting winter-themed events and 

activities. 

This year there will be even 

more to enjoy, from ice skating, 

hug a husky and Hagglund rides, 

to Disney’s frozen bouncy castle, 

tobogganing on real snow, and 

Hillary’s Hutt VR Experience, all 

taking place in and around the 

City Mall area. Real-life winter 

fairies will be there for the kids, 

along with activities for everyone 

to enjoy. 

These include ice skating 

starting tomorrow and running 

right through the weekend, with 

all other winter activities running 

on Saturday and Sunday from 

10am to 5pm daily. 

There is a small donation cost 

Hagglund rides should again prove a popular attraction at this year’s event. 

Winter-themed festival offers family fun in the city 

for some of the activities and all 

money raised is being donated to 

the Christchurch City Mission. 

Last year’s festival raised just 

over $12,000 and the business 

association hopes with the 

community coming in to support 

the festival, it can do more this year. 

While most of ‘Chill in the 

City’ activities are aimed at 

family enjoyment, Saturday night 

offers something a little different, 

with ‘Chill in the City’ After 

Dark on New Regent St starting 

early evening and featuring live 

entertainment, mulled wine, hot 

toddies and delicious food. 

•Full details of Winter 

Festival ‘Chill in the City’ can 

be found on the website

Palisade makes all the right sounds 

EVEN THOUGH my wife 

entertains me with a piano 

recital nearly every evening, I’m 

not really into classical music, 

nor am I a big fan of television 

advertisements. 

With a combination of those 

two factors it’s a wonder then that 

I spotted the clever advertisement 

for Hyundai’s new sport utility 

vehicle – the Palisade. 

The advertisement goes 

something like this – a group of 

musicians playing instruments 

slowly climb into the Palisade 

demonstrating how spacious 

it is on the inside. It’s a simple 

message that illustrates perfectly 

the capability of the Palisade, it is 

a big vehicle – seven or eight seats 

– all with armchair-like comfort. 

Hyundai has made no secret 

of its target market for Palisade, 

it’s largely destined for theUnited 

States where I would expect it 

to sell very well. Downunder, 

well that’s a different story, the 

Palisade will only appeal to a 

small number of buyers, those 

who like big and are comfortable 

driving something that stretches 

to almost 5m and weighs over 

two-tonne. 

In New Zealand the Palisade 

comes in five variants. If you 

want eight seats then you have no 

choice but to purchase the Elite, 

it comes with either a 3.6-litre 

petrol-powered V6 driving 

through the front wheels, or an 

all-wheel-drive model powered 

by a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel 

engine. The Elite lists at $99,990 

and $106,990respectively. 

If you are satisfied with seven 

seats, then Limited specification 

is the model for you, the same 

engine options are available and 

you have got an extra choice of 

nappa leather. The Limited V6 

sits at $107,990, while the diesel 

is priced at $114,990 (nappa adds 

$5k). The evaluation car was the 

latter, sans nappa. 

It must be remembered both 

engines are similar to those that 

power one of Hyundai’s bestselling 

models, the Santa Fe, and 

whereas I expected the weight of 

the Palisade to burden the diesel, 

I’m happy to report that that is far 

from the case. That is one of the 

reasons why I’ve been so smitten 

with the big four-potter over the 

years, it’s largely a continuation 

of the R-Series diesel that I have 

a lot of affection for. It is strong, 

smooth and silent and powers the 

big Palisade with gusto. 

Saying that, the Palisade is not 

a vehicle that you should expect 

to do things quickly, while it does 

cover distance capably, it does so 

with relaxed motion, it performs 

in a subdued manner, and that 

is the measure of a good vehicle, 

something that carries out its 

purpose without strain or fuss. 

Hyundai rate the turbocharged 

oil burner with 147kW and 

HIGH COMFORT: The Palisade comes with the choice of 

seven or eight seats. 

HYUNDAI PALISADE LIMITED: Sport utility vehicle with large car luxury. 

440Nm, both outputs realised 

very low in the rev band (3800 

and 1750rpm). It feels strong 

beneath the accelerator, powerful 

enough to surge to 100km/h in 

9.5sec and will lunge through a 

highway overtake in 6sec (80- 

120km/h). 

The engine is also rated with 

a 7.3-litre per 100km combined 

cycle fuel usage average. That’s 

a bold claim and one that I 

couldn’t replicate, however, my 

evaluation average of 8.8l/100km 

wasn’t that far distant and was 

helped by an amazing 6.3l/100km 

figure showing instantaneously at 

100km/h, the engine very relaxed 

turning over at just 1600rpm. 

Both engines drive through a 

fabulous eight-speed automatic 

transmission. There’s a paddle 

shift mechanism should the 

driver so desire, but I far 

preferred just selecting the drive 

button and letting the engine 

and gearbox do its own thing, 

something that delivers smooth 

shifts through a seemingly 

endless supply of ratios. 

The push-button gear selection 

process is part of an intuitive yet 

comprehensive array of controls 

the driver has command over, 

the all-wheel-drive Palisade has 

genuine off-the-seal capability, it 

has 203mm of ground clearance 

and the drive to all corners will 

get you in an out of very sticky 

situations. My first thought was 

how capable it would be on the 

skifield access road, although 

• Price – Hyundai Palisade 

Limited, $114,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4980mm; width, 1975mm; 

height, 1750mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2199cc, 147kW, 440Nm, 

eight-speed automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

9.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.3l/100km 

finding a spot in a crowded car 

park may be a bit more of a 

challenge. 

Mid-winter meant it was 

another wet weekend highway 

evaluation, however, the Palisade 

imparts a well-connected feeling 

on drenched roads. 

That has a lot to do with the 

way the four-wheel-drive system 

works. While there are a host 

of driver-selectable individual 

terrain control modes, in 

standard drive mode power will 

be distributed proportionally 

between front and rear, and 

individual wheels depending on 

how grip is best determined. 

On that subject, huge 

Bridgestone Dueler sport 

specification tyres (245/50 x 20in) 

offer prodigious grip in the first 

instance, they are both quiet and 

informative, just what you want 

in a large luxury car. 

The driveline systems work 

seamlessly and are part of an 

extensive safety network both 

passive and active. It’s not only 

the safety features that make 

the Palisade attractive, it’s got 

everything on-board that will 

satisfy all occupants. A multitude 

of clever devices provide 

individual settings between front 

and rear, all designed so that each 

occupant can have his/her own 

freedom. 

If you don’t need the rear row 

of seats upright, they fold down 

to provide a cavernous load area. 

There’s no shortage of choice in 

New Zealand’s seven-seat SUV 

market. Where the Palisade has 

a point of difference is that it is 

not utility-based, it doesn’t have a 

body over ladder chassis design, 

instead the fully monocoque 

structure has a platform 

engineered for one purpose 

from the ground up and that is 

occupant comfort. Stability and 

capability are additional benefits 

that are a by-product of that type 

of design. 

That being the case, the 

Palisade will conquer sales 

with its all-round functionality 

and, dare I say it, its luxury 

features blending with all-road 

capability sets it apart from the 

competition. 

Not forgetting that if you don’t 

need four-wheel-drive and want 

the benefit of that extra seat, 

the Palisade is a people-mover 

that will transport those from 

all walks of life, including the 

orchestra.

Te Aratai 

College 

Linwood High School 1954 – Te Aratai College 2022


Dreams into Reality 

Te Aratai College 

From Linwood High School 1954 to 

Te Aratai College 2022, our school 

continues its proud history. 

Next year we return to Aldwins Rd and our 

completely rebuilt and stunning new school. 

We thank our architects, Architectus; our 

construction company, Southbase; our project 

managers RDT Pacific and the Ministry of 

Education. Architectus and Southbase are the 

designers and builders of a number of prominent 

Christchurch buildings including the Central Bus 

Exchange and Tūranga, the central library. We 

are fortunate to have such a team. 

Te Aratai College is inspiring from the 650 seat 

theatre-standard auditorium to the sunny student 

centre and the student-friendly courtyards. Our 

design is for community-whanaungatanga, 

kōrero-conversation and personalised student 

success. It reflects the new name gifted to us by 

Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Te Aratai College, Pathway to the 

Sea. 

In 2016 there was extensive community 

consultation about what the community wanted 

for their new school. The key summary point 

from this community voice was: 

The school should nurture individual excellence 

by providing varied opportunities to meet 

individual needs. It should foster a ‘love to learn’ 

culture that returns high levels of achievement 

and success at a cost that is accessible for all. 

Reflecting this, our classroom design is based on 

responsiveness to the needs of the students at 

that moment. Our classrooms are the standard, 

time-honoured size but with the flexibility to open 

up. This is because there are occasions when 

learning can be more open but equally there are 

times for some students when this is a learning 

disaster. Te Aratai College also has smaller 

rooms for students who learn best in reduced, 

very quiet environments, and bigger spaces for 

larger student gatherings. The building design 

has flexibility for staff and students to respond to 

the many factors that personalise success. 

Of course, new buildings alone do not 

necessarily improve education. The relationship 

with the teacher - he tāngata, he tāngata, he 

tāngata - and the personalisation of learning 

are the key for this. However, there is also no 

doubt that new, purpose-built buildings and 

spaces that arise from these community values 

of relationships and personalisation contribute 

hugely to student success. This is Te Aratai 

College. 

Southbase Construction is a leading construction management 

company, recognised for building state-of-the-art educational 

facilities where our tamariki can learn and grow. 

We are proud partners delivering Te Aratai College.

Te Aratai College - A New School for our Community 

When Linwood College reopens its doors in term two, 2022 it will be 

known as Te Aratai College. 

Te Aratai College is the name gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri and means Pathway to the 

Sea. This name builds on Linwood College’s history of being the local secondary school 

for communities from Linwood-Woolston, the eastern hill suburbs, and out to the coast. 

The 780 students and 120 staff are excited about this wonderful opportunity. 

The school’s initial fitout budget however will not stretch to all the equipment and 

services identified as needed. 

To help make our new school a centre of excellence we now call upon our community, 

past pupils and local businesses to support this amazing new educational opportunity by 

donating to the Linwood College Foundation. Please join with us in making the vision of 

a well-resourced school for our community a reality. 

Together let us create a school which will provide every educational opportunity for all 

students. Let us help each one to succeed to their potential. 

It is only through education and by supporting where 

there is need, that we can transform our communities and 

create exciting futures for all our students. 

Items requiring funding: 

• Technology and creative courses - 

specialised equipment 

• The new Performance Centre fit out 

including retractable seating, lighting 

boards, stage curtains and sound system 

• Commercial kitchen specialist equipment 

• Playgrounds for Year 7 and 8 students 

• Furniture and equipment for the Kimihia 

Parental College, the teen parent unit 

• Music recording equipment 

• Bouldering – a rock climbing wall 

• Whakairo (carvings) for the whare 

(meeting house) 

• Pastoral care resourcing 

• Trees, shrubs and general planting 

Dick Edmundson has been Principal at Linwood College since 2016. He taught 

English at Linwood in the 1990s. He was previously Principal at Hornby HS and 

has taught in a variety of schools in New Zealand and overseas. 

“As a current Linwood College parent, I 

know how great this school is and would 

love your help to make the new Te Aratai 

College amazing. Let us support our young 

people to become the best they can be.” 

Sara Templeton, 

Christchurch City Councillor – 

Heathcote Ward 

“I know that people are clear on how 

important a strong, local school is for strong, 

local communities. Donating to the new 

school will be a way for many people to help 

make this a reality.”
