Peninsula roads have speed

MOTORISTS ARE urged to 

take it slower as new safer speed 

limits are coming into effect on 

many of Banks Peninsula’s steep 

and winding rural roads and 

settlements. 

“Banks Peninsula has a 

complex network of winding 

roads and steep 

inclines which 

can be challenging,’’ 

city council 

transport operations 

manager 

Steffan Thomas 

said.

“Following 

consultation with 

the public earlier 

this year, we are dropping the 

speed limit on these roads from 

100km/h to 60km/h to make it 

safer for everyone,’’ Thomas said. 

The new speed limits come 

into effect tomorrow. 

Speed limits changes are also 

coming for Akaroa’s town centre. 

From tomorrow, a 40km/h 

speed limit will be in place on 

the majority of roads within the 

township. 

“Akaroa is attracting increasing 

numbers of daytrippers and 

holidaymakers so we want to 

keep vehicle speeds down for 

safety reasons,’’ Thomas said. 

Other speed limit changes

coming into effect tomorrow 

include Purau-Port Levy Rd reduced 

from 100km/h to 60km/h 

and 40km/h in the Port Levy 

settlement. Port Levy-Pigeon Bay 

Rd reduced from 100km/h to 

60km/h with speeds of 60km/h 

or 40km/h within Pigeon Bay. 

Kukupa, near Pigeon Bay, will 

have a speed reduction from 

100km/h to 40km/h. Birdlings 

Flat, Kaitorete Spit, Little River 

and Okuti Valley will have 

speed limits of either 60km/h 

or 40km/h depending on the 

specific road. 

The Western Valley route,

MORE SUBURBS and areas in 

the Bay Harbour News region 

have joined the million-dollar 

property club (see pages 4-5). 

There are 18 suburbs and areas 

across Christchurch, Banks 

Peninsula and the Selwyn District 

where the average house 

price is $1 million-plus. 

On a national scale, 

Canterbury is still seen as 

being undervalued, which 

is good news for property 

owners. Buyers from outside 

of the area, particularly from 

Auckland, are hovering 

waiting for people to sell. 

When immigration resumes 

to pre-Covid days it will 

fuel demand and prices will 

news 

continue upwards. 

At the other end of the 

property scale, Birdlings 

Flat has the lowest average 

property value in Canterbury 

at $313,000. 

But I suspect people who 

own houses there paid a lot 

less when they bought the 

property.

Sea wall to be repaired 

NEWS 3 

In Brief 

Darren Moses 

TWO DAMAGED and aged 

sections of Akaroa’s sea wall 

will be repaired over the coming 

weeks so that they are in tip-top 

shape for the summer ahead. 

The work will start next week 

and should be completed by 

mid-December. The cost is estimated 

at $585,000. 

Fulton Hogan will do the 

work by the Akaroa Recreation 

Grounds, between the boat 

ramp and boat park. 

“The sea wall 

around Beach 

Rd was constructed 

from 

unreinforced 

stone in the 

early 1900s 

and it is showing 

signs of its 

age,’’ said city 

council capital 

delivery (community) manager 

Darren Moses. 

“Constant wave action has 

undermined it in places and 

scoured out mortar and sediment. 

That has resulted in some 

voids opening up, which in turn 

has caused the path behind the 

sea wall to slump. 

“What we plan to do is repair 

the cracks and put additional 

rock protection in place at the 

base of the sea wall to support 

POPULAR: Akaroa’s sea wall has been undermined over time. Work to fix cracks and a 

slump will start next week. 


it and protect it from further 

scouring. We will also fill the 

voids and repair the path.’’ 

Similar repairs and maintenance 

will be carried out on the 

sea wall by the Akaroa Recreation 

Reserve as it too is being 

undermined by wave action. 

While the sea wall is being 

worked on some on-street parking 

in the Akaroa Recreation 

Reserve and Beach Rd will be 

restricted for safety reasons. 

The Beach Rd footpath and 

the Akaroa Recreation Reserve’s 

harbour edge will also be closed 

to pedestrians. Beach access, 

directly below the areas where 

the contractor is working, will 

be restricted during low tides. 

Public access to the boat ramp 

though will be maintained for 

the duration of the works. 

“It has taken a long time to 

obtain the consents needed to 

carry out the repairs on the sea 

wall because we are dealing with 

a heritage structure in a coastal 

environment, but we are now at 

the point where work can start,’’ 

said Moses. 

“We know that Akaroa is 

a very popular spot over the 

summer months so our aim is 

to have the work on the sea wall 

completed by Christmas.’’ 

COMPOST FOR ROSES 

Ferrymead Lions recently donated 

10 bags of compost to Heritage 

Roses Christchurch for use at the 

Memorial Rose Garden situated 

behind two tall macrocarpa 

hedges at Ferrymead Heritage 

Park. The memorial garden was 

developed to remember the 21 

railway workers who lost their 

lives in World War 2. Over the 

last five to six years a small group 

of volunteers has restored and 

replaced many of the special old 

roses some dating back to the 

early 1900s .The garden is worth 

a visit especially in late October, 

November and December when 

the roses are in full flower. 

COASTAL HAZARDS VIDEO 

The city council has made a video 

on how coastal hazards might 

impact Banks Peninsula and 

Christchurch in the future. It 

provides an overview of why the 

areas are at risk of coastal hazards 

and what might be expected to 

happen over the next 20, 50 and 

100 years as sea levels rise. The 

video Coastal Hazards 101 video 

is on the city council website.

Property values continue to skyrocket 

SUBURBS AND other areas 

in the Bay Harbour News area 

feature in the $1 million plus 

property club. 

Figures just released show 

Redcliffs, Scarborough, 

Sumner, Clifton, Richmond 

Hill Teddington and Allandale 

are among 18 areas across 

Christchurch, Banks Peninsula 

and the Selwyn District where 

the average house price tops $1 

million. 

It is double the number 12 

months ago. 

In comparison Birdlings Flat 

has the lowest average property 

value in 

Canterbury at 

$313,000. 

According 

to the latest 

OneRoof- 

Valocity 

House Index, 

Owen 

Vaughan 

the average 

property value 

for all of New 

Zealand jumped five per cent to 

$1.021 million in the past three 

months. 

The growth rate is smaller 

than the 6.1 per cent seen in the 

previous three-month period, and 

suggests that prices are starting to 

ease nationwide. 

But in Canterbury, house prices 

continue to skyrocket. 

OneRoof editor Owen Vaughan 

said the region is unlike others 

around the country, which 

are starting to show signs of 

fatigue. 

Figures from the OneRoof 

Index show Canterbury’s average 

property value rose 29.8 per cent 

($163,000) in the year to October 

1, well above the nationwide 

annual growth rate of 26.6 per 

cent. 

Its average property value has 

risen 8.2 per cent in the past three 

months, compared to growth of 

7.4 per cent in the previous three 

months. 

The Selwyn district is up 9.9 per 

cent over the last three months to 

$890,000 and Christchurch city is 

up 8.8 per cent to $718,000. They 

are the region’s hottest housing 

markets. 

A year ago, just nine 

Canterbury areas had an average 

property value of more than $1 

million. Now there are 18 in the 

$1 million club. 

GROWTH: 

Suburbs such 

as Sumner 

are among 

18 areas in 

the region 

where the 

average house 

price tops $1

Coutts Island, McLeans Island, 

Merivale, Ouruhia, Richmond 

Hill and Strowan. 

Vaughan said the heat in 

Christchurch’s housing market 

is having a big impact on prices, 

which had long been static. 

A year ago, the average property 

value was $591,000, up just 

$59,000 on the year before. 

New mortgage registrations by 

first home buyers in Christchurch 

over the last quarter was 43.5 per 

cent – the highest amongst all 

South Island cities. 

The gain over the past 12 

months, however, has added 

an extra $160,000 on the price 

of a typical house in the city – 

$58,000 of which has been in the 

last three months. 

For first home buyers, that 

has pushed a 20 per cent deposit 

requirement up to $150,200. An 

increase of $32,000 on last year’s 

figure. 

Christchurch’s most expensive 

suburb is also its hottest. Fendalton’s 

average house price grew 

11.3 per cent in the last three 

months to $1.659m – a gain of 

$169,000, more than the average 

gain for all of Christchurch in the 

last year. 

The city’s affordable housing 

market has also changed, 

Vaughan said. 

In September last year, there 

were 41 suburbs that had an average 

property value of less than 

$500,000, now there are just 18. 

Bexley is the city’s cheapest 

suburb, with an average property 

value of $319,000. 

Vaughan said the region’s 

relatively affordable prices are 

fuelling demand, with first home 

buyers by far the biggest buying 

group. 

They accounted for 40.4 per 

cent of all registrations in the 

three months to October 1. 

Investors’ share of the market 

has declined over the same period 

– from 24 per cent in the first 

quarter of the year to 23.7 per 

cent in the third quarter.

A COMMUNITY initiated food 

forest in Birdsey Reserve will be 

supported under a new proposal 

that has opened for consultation. 

Under the proposed two-stage 

plan, a food forest and garden 

currently being developed by 

local community groups would 

be continued, along with a revegetation 

programme involving 

students from Heathcote Valley 

School. 

The second stage would be to 

install dog exercise areas and 

extend the existing car park. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board chairwoman 

Alexandra Davids said there has 

been strong community interest 

in finding a local space for dogs 

to play and socialise safely. 

“Having a fenced exercise park 

accessible in the south-east is 

long overdue. It means owners 

can let their dogs off their lead to 

socialise in a tightly fenced and 

double-gated area without having 

to travel outside their local 

areas,” she said. 

“The two-stage process we’ve 

proposed would enable the 

revegetation planting at the 

reserve to continue, along with 

the community food forest and 

garden currently under development. 

“Subject to funding and further 

consultation requirements, 

stage two would see the dog 

exercise area installed and the 

existing car park extended. 

“But we really want to hear 

people’s thoughts on all aspects 

of the proposed plan. This is 

their neighbourhood, so we want 


to make sure we get it right.” 

To provide feedback on the 

Birdsey Reserve landscape plan, 

go to https://www.ccc.govt.

The plan is open for feedback 

until November 16.

Taking the rubbish out of recycling 

AKAROA’S Gloria Calcutt is a 

force to be reckoned with. 

Each week the diminutive 

85-year-old heads out with her 

foster son Keith. They’re on a 

mission to check the recycling 

collection points at remote communities 

on Banks Peninsula. 

Gloria used to drive herself, 

but when Keith got his heavy 

vehicle licence he took on the 

driving duties. 

Together they search for incorrect 

items in the bins and pull 

them out so when the pickup 

trucks come there won’t be any 

contamination. 

It’s all part of the service provided 

by Waste Line, the business 

owned by Gloria and her 

son Julian for the past 31 years. 

Waste Line is a subcontractor 

on the city council contract to 

provide waste services to more 

than 15,000 Banks Peninsula 

households. 

There’s always plenty of talk as 

the truck winds its way through 

Okains Bay, Le Bons Bay, Little 

Akaloa, Pigeon Bay, Onuku and 

Robinsons Bay – a solid three-tofour 

hour journey. 

“Keith chats a lot,” says Gloria. 

“I love it, it’s very enjoyable. I like 

the beauty of it.” 

It’s a chance for Keith to get 

any problems off his chest as 

Gloria lends a listening ear. 

CLEAN-UP: Gloria Calcutt and Keith make weekly trips to check recycling points on 

the Peninsula. 


At the collection point the 

pair are all business, fishing out 

items that shouldn’t be there 

and recording them in Gloria’s 

notebook. 

“We’re trying to do the right 

thing, make the product as acceptable 

as possible (for resale)”, 

she says. 

People are often confused 

about what can be recycled. 

“The things that they slip up 

on are soft plastic, lids and dirty 

containers– it could be at least 

an inch in a tomato sauce bottle 

that’s been put in here or a peanut 

butter jar that’s got half of it 

left. The other things are coffee 

cups and milk cartons. We can’t 

take silver foil or polystyrene 

either.” 

She says when the city council 

first started recycling items were 

separated into open-top crates, 

which made it easier for people 

to sort and more obvious if the 

wrong materials were presented 

for recycling. 

Nowadays people try to use the 

wheelie bins for ‘wish cycling’ – 

putting materials in the bin in 

the hope they get recycled. This 

can mean good recycling goes to 

landfill as it is contaminated by 

the wrong items. 

“You might find one that’s very 

heavy and you check and find 

there’s a lump of concrete at the 

bottom!” 

New signs are about to go up at 

the collection points, which will 

hopefully help spread the message 

about what can and can’t be 

recycled. 

Four years ago, Keith came 

up with the idea of collecting 

old whiteware and cars for scrap 

metal – with all proceeds going 

to the Akaroa Hospital rebuild. 

Gloria was a midwife and 

matron at the hospital for many 

years and the hospital rebuild is 

close to her heart. 

So far they’ve raised around 

$78,000 towards the cause, 

something they’re both proud of. 

It’s as if the two parts of her 

working life have come full 

circle. 

Asked when she’ll stop doing 

the weekly checks Gloria shakes 

her head fiercely. Not anytime 

soon.

The Edible Backyard 

a Practical Guide to Growing organic Fruit and 

Vegetables all year round by Kath irvine 

Gardening guru Kath Irvine’s guide to everything you need to know to grow 

organic vegetables, fruit and herbs in your own garden, all through the year. 

In this practical step-by-step guide, gardening teacher Kath Irvine shares her 

wealth of knowledge from more than 20 years of helping Kiwi gardeners 

design, build, grow and maintain their own productive edible gardens. Kath’s 

sage, hands-on, often humorous advice steps readers through everything 

they need to know to grow great produce at home, including garden design, 

tools and equipment, seasonal planting advice, soil fertility, seed-saving 

basics, managing pests and diseases, and how to incorporate organic and 

permaculture gardening methods into any home garden. 

Still Standing 

What i’ve learnt from a life lived differently 

by Jess Quinn 

Jess Quinn is, in her own words, quite literally a walking miracle. Her body 

has been completely restructured so that she could survive an aggressive 

cancer. Jess’ leg was amputated when she was a young child, and she 

has worn a prosthetic leg ever since. She’s created a successful modelling 

career, has a huge following on social media, was on Dancing with the Stars 

and is outspoken on the subject of body diversity. She has strong messages 

about resilience. Jess has a remarkable way of talking about her pain and 

difficulties, and is inspirational in her response to the difficulties that have 

beset her. Her philosophy embraces the fact that none of us get to keep the 

body we were born in; we all bear scars that become part of our stories. 

Marae — Te Tatau Pounamu 

a Journey around new Zealand’s meeting Houses 

by muru Walters, robin Walters and sam Walters 

A magnificent, prize-winning documentation of and tribute to New Zealand’s 

wharenui, big and small. Bishop Muru Walters is a very well-known Anglican 

minister. He is also a master carver, poet, broadcaster and former Maori All Black. 

His son Robin is a photographer and filmmaker, who is director at Curious Films. 

Sam Walters, Robin’s wife, is a photographer. Together the Walters spent three 

years visiting some of this country’s major meeting houses as well as many of the 

more humble ones — houses that serve smaller hapu and iwi — to bring together 

a beautiful photographic book on the meeting house. From north to south, from 

the east coast to the west, and from ancient wharenui to bold new designs, this 

handsome book, with its engaging personal text, captures the huge variety of New 

Zealand’s original architecture. It’s a book for all New Zealanders to treasure. 

Hellzapoppin’! The Art of Flying Nun 

by Peter Vangioni, Kath Webster, russell Brown and 

roger shepherd 

Unruly art and design from the early years of Flying Nun Records. From rare 

collectible records and vintage posters to original artworks and paste-up 

designs, this 92 page book explores the art and artists behind some of New 

Zealand’s favourite bands. Entertaining essays from are interspersed with 

brief interview-style contributions from the people responsible for creating the 

art of the label. Heavily illustrated, it features original artwork for the records 

and posters, photography from the archives, and rarely seen vinyl releases 

and posters. By talking to the people responsible, this book will burst a few 

enduring myths, and maybe start some new ones. 

Operation Trojan Horse the true story behind 

the secret of Flight 149 and the most shocking government 

cover-up of the last thirty years. by stephen davis 

On 1 August, 1990, British Airways Flight 149 departed from Heathrow airport, 

destined for Kuala Lumpur. It never made it there, and neither did its nearly 400 

passengers. Instead, Flight 149 stopped to refuel in Kuwait, as Iraqi troops amassed 

on the border - delivering the passengers and crew into the hands of Saddam 

Hussein and the Iraqi army, to be used as ‘human shields’ during their invasion. 

There is an exchange of favours at the highest echelons of government, and a secret, 

unaccountable organization - authorised by Margaret Thatcher - carrying out a 

‘deniable’ intelligence operation to sneak in a group of intelligence officers into Kuwait 

aboard the flight. The plane was the ‘Trojan Horse’, and the plan - as well as the 

horrific, traumatic consequences for the civilian passengers - has been lied about, 

denied and covered up by successive British Governments ever since.

What happens to wheelie bin waste 

City 

council 

resource 

recovery 

manager 

Ross 

Trotter 

lifts the lid 

on what happens with 

the stuff you put in your 

red, green and yellow 

wheelie bins 

REMEMBER THE empty 

tomato sauce bottle you put 

in your yellow wheelie bin for 

recycling? Did you know it could 

end up back in your house as 

a supermarket meat tray or a 

strawberry punnet? 

What about those empty 

aluminium drink cans that went 

into the yellow bin? 

They will get recycled back 

into new aluminium cans. 

Most of us are too busy to give 

much thought to what happens 

to the items we put out for 

recycling, but often they go on 

quite a circular journey. 

Once the items are picked up 

by the kerbside recycling trucks, 

they are taken to the Materials 

Recovery Facility in Wigram, 

operated by EcoCentral. There, 

they pass through a range of 

machinery that separates them 

into different product types. The 

sorted materials then get sent 

off to national and international 

reprocessing plants. 

The bales of aluminium and 

steel cans get sold locally for 

recycling, while the glass is 

crushed into sand used for road 

fill. 

EcoCentral sells bottles and 

containers numbered 1 to a New 

Zealand-based processor, who 

remanufactures them into clear 

meat trays or strawberry punnets 

for supermarkets. 

Plastics numbered 2 and 5 

are also reprocessed into other 

useful products. 

Paper and cardboard get 

sent overseas for recycling. The 

market for these is extremely 

competitive. To maximise 

the price we receive we need 

to produce clean, untainted 

materials. Because we are a small 

supplier in a global market, we 

risk losing our buyers if we don’t 

meet high quality standards with 

our recycling. 

That is one of the reasons why 

we are constantly asking people 

to take care with their recycling 

and only put accepted items in 

the yellow bin. 

We want to recycle as much 

as possible because it is better 

for the environment and helps 

REPURPOSED: Containers numbered ‘1’ often get a new 

life as meat trays or strawberry punnets. 

off-set the costs of processing 

recyclables. Even when 

commodity prices for recyclables 

are low, it still costs significantly 

less to recycle than to dispose of 

the same material in landfill. 

Our kerbside rubbish, organics 

and recycling collection service 

costs about $40 million a year 

to run. The money comes from 

the rates Christchurch property 

owners pay. 

If we lose access to any of our 

recycling markets, it is likely we 

will have to send more material 

to landfill. This will push up the 

cost of the kerbside collection 

service, which in turn will hit 

ratepayers in the pocket. 

It is important too that people 

keep their green wheelie bin for 

organic waste only and not put 

general rubbish in it. 

This is because the material we 

collect from the green wheelie 

bins is processed locally into 

certified organic compost, which 

is used around the South Island, 

mostly by the agriculture sector. 

When the contents of your 

green bin are collected at the 

kerbside, they are trucked to the 

Organics Processing Plant in 

Bromley – the biggest composting 

facility of its kind in New 

Zealand. There, the green waste 

gets put through a shredder, with 

138 teeth on it, to break the material 

down. It is moved into one 

of 18 sealed tunnels, where most 

of the composting happens. The 

composted material is then taken 

outside to fully mature. 

When the maturation process 

is complete, the compost is sold 

to businesses and farms around 

Canterbury and beyond. 

Around 55,000 tonnes of kerbside 

organic material a year are 

processed through the plant. 

This is food and green waste that 

would otherwise go to landfill. 

If we want to continue to 

divert as much waste as possible 

from the landfill, we need people 

to put the right stuff in the right 

bins. Most of you have improved, 

but we need everyone to get on 

board. 

Please remember too that 

when it comes to cutting waste 

the choices you make when you 

shop are powerful. Try and opt 

for items with the least amount 

of packaging or items that are 

able to be recycled in the yellow 

bin or alternative recycling 

schemes. 

The best way to reduce the 

amount of rubbish we are 

sending to landfill is to prevent 

waste in the first place.

Treasures from the 

past: Remembering 

the Great Fire, 1870 

THIS COMING Sunday marks 151 years 

since Lyttelton was decimated by fire. 

The fire began at about 9pm and was 

suspected to have started in packing cases 

filled with straw behind the Queen’s Hotel 

on the corner of London and Oxford Sts. 

It spread very rapidly through the mainly 

timber structures of the township. 

Valiant local efforts were made to 

contain the inferno by the ‘hook and 

ladder’ brigade, by prisoners from the gaol 

and by seamen organised by the publican 

of the Mitre Hotel, who bucketed beer 

from barrels in an attempt to protect the 

shingled roof. 

Eventually, after frantic messages via 

the telegraph office, a fire brigade and 

fire steam engine arrived by train from 

Christchurch, along with the mayor of 

and several city councillors. 

The sight that greeted The Press reporter, 

who also travelled on that train, was just 

awful. 

“At this time the scene was terrifically 

grand, the whole block, some three acres 

in area, being one solid mass of fire, 

lighting up the harbour and surrounding 

hills. The scene on the reclaimed land was 

of a most painful character, women and 

children being huddled together on heaps 

of furniture, utterly homeless, and only 

partially clothed.” 

The fire was finally contained in the 

early hours of the morning, but its consequences 

were very evident come daylight: 

approximately two thirds (5 acres) of the 

township had been razed; 30 local businesses 

and many private residences left 

with only their chimneys standing. 

Though many people had lost their 

homes and livelihoods, it was remarkable 

there were no serious injuries or deaths. 

At the time it was New Zealand’s worst 

urban fire, but it would not be the only 

time that Lyttelton was badly affected. 

Aside from numerous shipboard, 

business and residential fires over the 

years, a large blaze on Christmas Eve 1942 

– beginning in Rhinds store on Norwich 

Quay but fanned by a strong wind – 

caused significant damage on Norwich 

Quay and Canterbury St. 

The Great Fire of 1870, as the fire of 

October 24 came to be known, was the 

catalyst for the establishment of the 

Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade in 1873, 

members of which have served Lyttelton 

through multiple disasters and gained the 

highest respect and appreciation by local 

residents.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Second time lucky 

at tertiary study 

After an unhappy experience studying 

engineering at university, 23-year-old Kylie 

Wilson says she was “seriously put off ” 

tertiary education to the point she never 

thought she’d go back to study. 

“I left uni due to the lack of support, 

intense workload and inability to specialise 

in the way I thought I could,” says Kylie. 

Fortunately, friends who’d studied at Ara 

Institute of Canterbury convinced her that 

she’d have a completely different experience 

if she went there. “And they were absolutely 

right,” she says. “To this day, studying at Ara 

has been the best decision I’ve made.” 

Kylie says she’s enjoying everything about 

being at Ara, where she’s studying two 

diplomas concurrently – one in quantity 

surveying and the other in civil engineering. 

“I love the small class sizes and the ability 

to really get to know your tutors and learn 

more from them. The tutors are awesome; 

they know you by name and are always 

willing to help, no matter whether you’re 

struggling or you’re a high achiever who 

wants to get a more detailed understanding 

of the content for your own benefit or 

interests. They’re also happy to discuss 

their industry experience with you which is 

invaluable knowledge and something you 

don’t get from university.” 

Having not been able to specialise as she’d 

wanted to at university, Kylie is making the 

most of her double diploma approach at 

Ara. “I saw this huge cross-over between 

the two disciplines of quantity surveying 

and civil engineering, and the extremely 

valuable benefits of being both a QS and a 

Ryan 

Ara graduate 

civil engineer.” 

Kylie has also been impressed with Ara’s 

supportive learning environment and the 

ability to study full-time and balance other 

commitments easily. “It’s given me a wide 

range of opportunities and experiences, 

along with a work/life balance.” 

After a less than ideal university 

experience, Kylie is quick to encourage 

others to study at Ara. “Just do it,” she 

says. “My biggest regret was taking 18 

months away from study because I was too 

scared to go back after my experience at 

university. Everything at Ara is manageable 

and practical – in my opinion it’s the polar 

opposite to university-style learning.”

Sorento a serious foray into hybrid market 

IT MAY SURPRISE you to know 

that Kia has 10 Sorento models 

listed in the Kiwi market. 

What’s probably more of a 

surprise is that six of those are 

hybrids. Even though Kia has 

embraced the hybrid concept 

and electric-only cars, it hasn’t 

forgotten the grass roots models 

that have made this large 

seven-seat sport utility vehicle a 

favourite here, the 2.2-litre diesel 

engine is still available in four 

levels of specification starting at 

$59,990 and ending at $76,990. 

This evaluation surrounds 

what I consider to be the most 

interesting model in the Sorento 

line-up, it’s not just a hybrid but 

a plug-in hybrid. 

Hybrids today need no 

introduction, they are the go-to 

models for buyers who feel they 

are doing something for the 

environment but like to have 

the range and flexibility petrol 

engines offer. Well, the Sorento 

PHEV expands on those two 

factors, you further save fuel 

by plugging in and charging 

from a household or nationwide 

charging station. There are 

two cables, one for three-pin 

domestic supply, the other for 

quick charging at a designated 

port such as those you will find 

at malls or supermarkets. 

One of the benefits of plug-in 

technology is the ability to run 

the Sorento in EV mode only; 

you can select that manually, but 

if you are gentle on the throttle 

the Sorento automatically 

defaults to electric mode itself, 

it’s only when there is a lot of 

load or the batteries are low that 

the petrol engine comes in. Kia 

claims a 57km run on electriconly 

along with a combined 

petrol and electric distance of 

over 600km. 

Kia also claims a 1.9-litre 

per 100km combined cycle 

fuel usage average, that’s pretty 

spectacular. During my testing 

time the readout was constantly 

listing around 4l/100km, with 

5l/100km sitting instantaneously 

at 100km/h. 

Therein lies another surprise. 

The Kia Sorento PHEV has a 

1.6-litre petrol engine. Some 

might argue that’s a small 

capacity for such a big car, but 

I can report the turbocharged 

132kW unit – loaned from 

Cerato and Seltos – combined 

with the 63kW electric motor 

has plenty of performance. 

In terms of total power output 

Kia claims a combined figure 

of 195kW and 350Nm, which 

is more than adequate, the 

Sorento PHEV isn’t overly heavy 

CHARGED UP: The Sorento’s batteries can go from empty 

to full in less than four hours from a designated port. 

KIA SORENTO PREMIUM: Seven-seat SUV that is a true fuel-miser. 

at 1915kg, so the power-toweight 

ratio is healthy enough. 

Acceleration times of 8.9sec to 

make 100km/h and 5.6sec to 

reach 120 from 80km/h are more 

than satisfactory. 

These figures are up to par and 

elsewhere the Sorento PHEV is 

no different to drive than any of 

its stablemates or competition, 

power is directed through a 

traditional six-speed automatic 

transmission to all four wheels. 

I took the evaluation vehicle 

on a long highway cruise 

through to Glenroy and home 

via Hororata. I only ventured 

off the seal for a short shingle 

road burst that also included a 

ford of the Hororata River, albeit 

running nothing more than a 

puddle. The four-wheel-drive 

network wasn’t challenged, but 

I did notice that the driveline 

was keen to extract grip from 

all corners, the system kicking 

in without driver intervention. 

However, there are drive modes 

that can be selected to suit the 

journey ahead. 

On the seal, the Sorento is 

superbly comfortable and quiet 

on those long open roads, 

when the tight corners present 

themselves the Sorento steers 

with dignity and accuracy. 

Body movement is controlled 

through compliant spring and 

• Price – Kia Sorento PHEV 

Premium, $89,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4810mm; width, 1900mm;

damper rates, on-board comfort 

hasn’t been compromised. Kia 

has engineered the battery pack 

to sit sandwiched between the 

cabin floor and the underfloor, 

consequently, weight is 

low which counteracts any 

gravitational force up top. 

That comfort is the essence 

of the Sorento, it is an SUV 

that borders on the luxury car 

market, yet such is its placement 

in the market it must be 

considered a mainstream model. 

The Sorento PHEV comes 

in two specifications, the EX 

variant lists at $74,990, the 

evaluation car was a Premium 

model that adds $15k. For 

interest’s sake, the traditional 

hybrid range starts at $63,990 

and ends at $82,990. If you are 

quick to order you may well 

qualify for the $5750 discount as 

part of the Government’s Clean 

Car Programme feebate scheme. 

In Premium form the 

Sorento is full of kit, nothing 

has been left out that would 

jeopardise desirability. Items for 

comfort and convenience are 

manyfold, and most of the major 

functions are operated through 

a deep and vast central display 

system. 

Full leather trim is included 

with heated seats up front. Other 

major items include satellite 

navigation, electric sunroof, 

paddle-shifters, heated steering 

wheel, head-up display, keyless 

entry and ignition, electric 

tailgate (also automatic), radar 

cruise control and a host of other 

key features. The Sorento PHEV 

has also been crash tested, 

claiming a five-star Australasian 

New Car Assessment Program 

safety rating. 

Kia New Zealand has made 

no secret of the supply issues 

that are affecting the majority 

of new car distributors, Sorento 

buyers will have to wait around 

six months for the plug-in 

model. However, I’m of the 

belief if that is the road you want 

to go down (no pun intended) it 

will most certainly be worth the 

wait.

Local Democracy 

Reporter 

- North Canterbury 

Job type: Fixed term – 24 months 

Location: Rangiora 

Closing date: October 29, 2021 

Are you an outstanding reporter looking for a new challenge and wanting 

to serve your community? 

Allied Press, with the support of RNZ and NZ On Air’s Public Interest 

Journalism Fund, is hiring a journalist to join Local Democracy Reporting in 

2022 and 2023 from the North Canterbury News office in Rangiora. 

You will be covering local authorities and other publicly-funded 

organisations, but also going out and talking to the people affected by 

these organisations’ decisions, sharing their stories, and coming up with 

your own stories on similar topics. 

Your focus will be providing great public interest journalism coverage daily 

throughout the North Canterbury region including Waimakariri, Hurunui 

and Kaikōura. This is a multi-media role so experience in video, audio and 

photography would be an advantage. 

You will report to Allied Press’ North Canterbury bureau chief. You will 

receive extra training and support from RNZ, and your work will be made 

available at the same time to all of the programme’s media partners, 

including RNZ. 

This could be a junior, intermediate or senior role depending on the 

successful candidate. We are looking for someone with as many of the 

following qualities as possible. You don’t need all of these to apply, but you 

do need to have at least two years’ reporting experience (although in some 

cases we may also consider exceptional applicants with only one year’s 

experience). 

• Able to spot a strong story and make it come alive for your audience 

• Able to meet the highest standards of accuracy, fairness and balance 

• Understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi 

• Some knowledge of local government 

• Excellent writing skills 

This is a full-time role for a fixed term (through to 31 December 2023). 

Assistance with relocation costs may be considered. 

Applications close October 29, 2021. 

Please submit your CV along with your cover letter and work samples to 

recruitment@alliedpress.co.nz
