CANTERBURY University<br />
students planning a potentially<br />
record-setting rocket launch<br />
this week are assuring worried<br />
Birdlings Flat residents they are<br />
well prepared and have safety<br />
measures in place.<br />
UC Aerospace selected<br />
Kaitorete Spit beach, near<br />
Birdlings Flat, for lift-off as they<br />
aim to exceed the current altitude<br />
record for a student-led rocket<br />
programme held by the University<br />
of Southern California, which<br />
reached an altitude of 104km.<br />
“We’re very prepared this time,<br />
this will be the third attempt and<br />
we’ve got all of the appropriate<br />
safety measures in place,” said<br />
project leader Jack Davies.<br />
He said a 400 litre-capacity<br />
water tanker will be on site while<br />
the Little River volunteer fire<br />
brigade will be alerted if required.<br />
Fire extinguishers will also be on<br />
site.<br />

THIS WEEK Canterbury<br />
University students are<br />
planning a potentially recordsetting<br />
rocket launch at<br />
Birdlings Flat, in an attempt<br />
to exceed the altitude record<br />
for a student-led rocket<br />
programme, currently set<br />
at 104km and held by the<br />
University of Southern<br />
California.<br />
Residents are hoping this<br />
news<br />
will not be a blast from the<br />
past – there was a botched<br />
launch in 2019.<br />
However, the students<br />
have assured residents safety<br />
measures are in place. Read<br />
more on page 5.<br />
Also this week, we profile<br />
Lyttelton resident Jordan<br />
Paulsen, who talks about<br />
his commitment to the<br />
community – how the portside<br />
town has shaped who he is<br />
today, and why he’s motivated<br />
to give back. Turn to page 8.<br />

AN UNKNOWN disturbance<br />
has caused a bird species in<br />
serious decline to flee from their<br />
nesting ground at Charlesworth<br />
Wetland Reserve.<br />
Black billed gulls were showing<br />
signs of nesting on a gravel<br />
island at Charlesworth, where<br />
they have nested successfully in<br />
the past, but they are no<br />
longer there.<br />
Avon<br />
-Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai<br />
Trust manager<br />
Tanya Jenkins<br />
said she didn’t<br />
know what<br />
had happened<br />
to the birds,<br />
but it was possible<br />
predators<br />
had disturbed them.<br />
“There were some 53 birds<br />
there starting up a colony and<br />
then all of a sudden about two<br />
weeks ago, gone, no idea why.<br />
There’s been a disturbance of<br />
some sort,” Jenkins said.<br />
Black billed gulls have<br />
previously been discovered<br />
nesting on mooring piles in a<br />
completely marine environment<br />
at Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
One colony has also found a<br />
temporary home in a partially<br />
constructed stormwater retention<br />
basin in Belfast.<br />

However, the black billed<br />
gulls’ choice of accommodation<br />
has pushed the completion of<br />
work at the Blakes Rd site in<br />
Belfast back by several months.<br />
Earthworks at the site were<br />
scheduled to be completed in<br />
December last year, but are now<br />
set to finish in May, with planting<br />
to follow in September.<br />
The gulls took up residence<br />
last August when work on the<br />
site had to stop because of the<br />
Covid-19 lockdown.<br />
It seems the native wetland<br />
birds mistook the partially constructed<br />
stormwater basin for a<br />
braided river and began nesting<br />
in the area.<br />
At its height, there were about<br />
750 black billed gulls in the<br />
colony, and up to 30 pied stilts<br />
have also been nesting there.<br />

Gulls nesting ground disturbed<br />
Tanya<br />
Jenkins<br />
City council stormwater and<br />
waterways team leader Keith<br />
Davison said the gulls were<br />
classed as critically endangered<br />
at the time of their discovery.<br />
City council contractor Fulton<br />
Hogan stopped all work and<br />
site access was prohibited while<br />
the legally-protected birds were<br />
nesting and new chicks were<br />
hatching.<br />
The status of the species was<br />
re-classed to ‘At Risk – Declining’<br />
in a December review of<br />
the New Zealand Threat Classification<br />
System.<br />
“We’ve had to monitor water<br />
levels in the stormwater basin<br />
very carefully while the birds<br />
have been nesting there,’’ Davison<br />
said.<br />
“We could not let the water<br />
levels drop too low because<br />
the shallow muddy water was<br />
a habitat for insects, which the<br />
birds fed on.<br />
“The water also acted as a<br />
moat, stopping other predators<br />
from attacking the nests. At the<br />
same time, we couldn’t let the<br />
water level rise too high because<br />
we did not want to flood the<br />
nests and drown the chicks.’’<br />
City council regional park<br />
rangers assisted with setting<br />
up a protective trapline around<br />
the site to stop rats and other<br />
predators threatening the young<br />
chicks’ chances of survival.<br />
A city council ornithologist<br />
has advised it is unlikely the<br />
gulls will return to nest at the<br />
site.<br />
By the time the next breeding<br />
season starts, the environment<br />
will have changed.<br />

Launch caused fire in 2019<br />
• From page 1<br />
Davies said obtaining the<br />
necessary clearances from<br />
organisations including the<br />
New Zealand Space Agency,<br />
Civil Aviation Authority of<br />
New Zealand and Maritime<br />
New Zealand took longer than<br />
constructing the actual rocket.<br />
“(We’re) very excited. It’s<br />
been three years of work up to<br />
this point, we’re really looking<br />
forward to it,” he said.<br />
THe rocket will splash down<br />
about 100km offshore and will<br />
not be recovered.<br />
In spite of safety assurances,<br />
locals are wary, remembering a<br />
botched launch caused a fire in<br />
2019 after the rocket landed in a<br />
paddock.<br />
“THat spit is tinder dry and if<br />
a flame takes off and the wind<br />
gets up . . . the reaction time is<br />
limited for them to sort it before<br />
the fire takes hold,” concerned<br />
resident Douglas Peek said.<br />
“A bunch of people playing<br />
with rockets in a tinder dry<br />
area, we could have a serious<br />
fire on our hands. It will be like<br />
taking a water pistol to a major<br />
blimmin’ inferno if a fire takes<br />
hold.”<br />
Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand senior risk adviser<br />
Bruce Janes was satisfied<br />
appropriate safety measures<br />
were in place.<br />
“THey have to jump through<br />
a lot of hoops so they contacted<br />
me from a fire safety point of<br />
view.<br />
“Rockets are a bit unique, yeah<br />
there’s a lot of fire and drama<br />
but the fuel, the propellant, is<br />
very flashy, very flammable but<br />
it’s got a really short dwell time.<br />
It goes ‘woof, woof’ and it’s<br />
gone.<br />
“Yes, it can cause a fire but<br />
they’re launching on sand and<br />
the rocket will be leaning and<br />
fire towards the sea. They’re as<br />
safe as they can be.”<br />
Meanwhile, some residents<br />
welcomed the launch.<br />
Roger Cook was against a<br />
commercial enterprise but<br />
supportive of UC, which has<br />
used the site to launch rockets<br />
for several years.<br />
“(I’m) just happy they can<br />
continue and encourage young<br />
people with new opportunities,<br />
I’d love to watch it,” said Cook,<br />
a workshop engineer at Lincoln<br />
University.<br />

Power pole left<br />
hanging after<br />
teens flee crash<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
TWO TEENAGERS panicked<br />
and abandoned their car after<br />
crashing into a power pole in<br />
Akaroa last week.<br />
Emergency services were called<br />
to the crash on Old Coach Rd last<br />
Thursday at 9.50am. The crash<br />
had taken place the night before.<br />
The Toyota car had been abandoned,<br />
leaving a live power pole<br />
snapped at the bottom but still<br />
intact, hanging at a 45deg angle<br />
over the road, Akaroa Fire and<br />
Emergency chief Mark Thomson<br />
said.<br />
The driver, a 17-year-old female<br />
and her passenger, a 16-year-old<br />
female, were not injured and had<br />
called someone to pick them up<br />
and fled back to Christchurch.<br />
The pair had been staying at a<br />
local campground.<br />
They had left enough documentation<br />
in the car to be easily<br />
identifiable for local police.<br />
“They were a bit scared and<br />
panicked I think,” Senior Constable<br />
Tim Johnson said.<br />
The driver, who was on a restricted<br />
driver licence, told police<br />
she lost control and hit the pole.<br />
Johnson said the car was<br />
likely to be a write-off and the<br />
driver would probably receive an<br />
infringement notice for breaching<br />
her licence conditions.

‘I’m in a position now where I can give back’<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
JORDAN PAULSEN is a<br />
Lyttelton man through and<br />
through.<br />
A hard worker, volunteer and<br />
coach, Paulsen has a connection<br />
that runs deep with the port-side<br />
town and its community.<br />
Born and bred in Lyttelton,<br />
with both Ngai Tahu whakapapa<br />
and Norwegian ancestry, the<br />
32-year-old is committed to<br />
contributing where he can.<br />
“My commitment and my<br />
love for this community is unmatched,<br />
I wear that with pride,”<br />
said Paulsen.<br />
“For me, growing up in Lyttelton,<br />
it’s always been a hardworking<br />
blue-collar town, everyone<br />
looks out for one another.”<br />
Paulsen had leadership instilled<br />
into him from a young<br />
age, being the eldest of five<br />
siblings.<br />
When he was old enough, he<br />
caught the bus to Linwood High<br />
School. At 15, he left school for<br />
his first job at Stark Brothers on<br />
the dry dock.<br />
“I didn’t really have a choice<br />
when I was younger, I had to<br />
start working . . . I wasn’t cut<br />
out for the classroom. I had the<br />
education of life,” he said.<br />
Growing up, Paulsen would<br />
spend every Friday night at the<br />
Lyttelton Youth programme.<br />
“As a kid that was always so<br />
exciting for us, that we could go<br />
there on a Friday night and be<br />
safe.”<br />
“There was a lot of guys going<br />
down different paths where I<br />
guess having sports and having<br />
good leaders kept us together, on<br />
the right track,” he said.<br />
Paulsen sees his time with the<br />
Lyttelton Youth programme as<br />
instrumental in shaping who is<br />
now.<br />
“I would speak on behalf of a<br />
lot of boys from my generation,<br />
we were fortunate that we had<br />
good role models that kept us in<br />
line.”<br />
One of those role models and<br />
youth leaders was his cousin,<br />
Joseph Tyro, now director for<br />
Māori Health at the South<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board.<br />
“When Joey talks you listen,<br />

when he walks you follow, I’ve<br />
always admired that and wanted<br />
to be like that,” said Paulsen.<br />
“If I can be half that man, I’d<br />
be pretty happy.”<br />
Tyro has been Paulen’s biggest<br />
advocate, describing him as a<br />
natural leader.<br />
“Jordan has a genuine love and<br />
commitment to the people and<br />
community he was raised in.<br />
He has a great relationship and<br />
connection with the young and<br />
older generations,” Tyro said.<br />
At 18, Paulsen decided it was<br />
time to leave his beloved town<br />
and go and see the world.<br />
“It becomes quite a cycle in a<br />
small town, you’re very sheltered<br />
and a lot of it becomes head<br />
noise, you start making bad<br />
decisions. I was at that point at<br />
18 that I knew I had to leave.”<br />
Paulsen lived in Sydney for 10<br />
years where he started his own<br />
carpet and flooring business<br />
before returning home to<br />
Lyttelton in 2019.<br />
“To see the world through<br />
different lenses is invaluable<br />
[but] I think I had a calling to<br />
come home.<br />
When Paulsen returned, he<br />
continued his carpeting business<br />
until an opportunity to work<br />
at the Lyttelton Port Company<br />
arose.<br />
“To be fair, it was probably<br />
inevitable. I’m a generational<br />
wharfie, my father, my grandfather,<br />
my great-grandfather<br />
they’ve all been there.”<br />
Growing up with a community<br />
of volunteers, coaches and leaders,<br />
Paulsen felt it was his duty to<br />
do the same.<br />
“I always wanted to fulfil<br />
the duty of what I had in front<br />
of me as a kid – good people,<br />
volunteers, rugby coaches, youth<br />
workers – and I’m in a position<br />
now where I feel I can give back.”<br />
Paulsen believes that is what<br />
the foundation of Lyttelton is all<br />
about.<br />
“Volunteering and helping<br />
the community, that’s been<br />
the pillars of this town, which<br />
has been installed in me to<br />
continue,” he said.<br />
Paulsen volunteered for the<br />
Lyttelton Youth programme<br />
and still helps out there when<br />
he can. He also volunteered at<br />
the local fire brigade and now<br />
does a weekly round of Meals on<br />
Wheels for the elderly.<br />
“That’s something that my nan<br />
and grandad did. I promised my<br />
nan when she passed away that I<br />
would continue doing it.”<br />
Paulsen is also part of Rāpaki<br />
tangata tiatki, a group that<br />
looks after the preservation and<br />
conservation of the ocean for<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
But his biggest passion is<br />
coaching the under-15 Lyttelton<br />
rugby team.<br />
He is there for the team both<br />
on and off the field, just as his<br />
coaches were for him.<br />
“I understand boys of that<br />
age, there’s no point shouting at<br />
them, you have to get down on<br />
their level and get involved.”<br />
“That’s the beauty of sport,<br />
I want these boys to continue<br />
playing for Lyttelton and I want<br />
to be with them on that journey.”<br />
THEN and NOW: Jordan<br />
Paulsen stands outside<br />
Lyttelton Primary School in<br />
1995 and 2021.<br />
Paulsen has settled in Lyttelton<br />
now and has no plans to leave.<br />
He has been encouraged by<br />
both Tyro and his uncle, former<br />
National MP Nuk Korako, to<br />
consider working towards a<br />
future in local council or the<br />
community board.<br />
“In the two years that I’ve<br />
been able to do all these things<br />
it’s made me think maybe I<br />
could push for a position in that<br />
environment. It’s just an interest<br />
at the moment,” said Paulsen.<br />
Tyro said that more Māori<br />
needed to be supported and<br />
encouraged into leadership and<br />
local government positions.<br />
“I don’t think we have any<br />
Māori on the local community<br />
board. If this is something<br />
Jordan would like to pursue – I<br />
would support him 100 per<br />
cent.”<br />
Korako said: “Jordan works<br />
hard to understand the Māori<br />
world and is on a journey to<br />
understand his heritage.<br />
“This manifests itself within<br />
his life through the community<br />
service that he performs for his<br />
rūnanga at Rāpaki, Lyttelton and<br />
the surrounding areas.”<br />

summer gardening!<br />
With the warmer<br />
temperatures it’s important<br />
to stay on top of watering<br />
your plants. Water early in<br />
the morning or in the evening<br />
to avoid water loss from<br />
evaporation.<br />
It’s a great time for<br />
succulents because they love<br />
the sun! They tend to thrive<br />
in dry and rocky conditions.<br />
Feed your succulents with<br />
Tui liquid succulent food.<br />
Lavender adds a great<br />
scent to your garden<br />
and also helps out the<br />
bees, which pollinate<br />
your garden.<br />
It’s a good time to add<br />
instant colour to your garden.<br />
Use sun soaking plants like<br />
daisies. Buy semi-mature<br />
plants so you can plant them,<br />
and they will bloom instantly.<br />

Treasures from the past:<br />
The Rangatira stowaway<br />
NEWS 11<br />
THis week, Treasures of the Past<br />
features seven-year-old Ralph<br />
Elen of Wellington, being gently<br />
escorted by a local policeman<br />
across London St in Lyttelton,<br />
presumably in the direction of<br />
the police station on Sumner Rd.<br />
He holds the distinction of<br />
being the first stowaway on the<br />
Rangatira.<br />
His story was widely covered<br />
across New Zealand - he had apparently<br />
gone on board in Wellington<br />
with his grandparents<br />
“and decided to stay and have a<br />
ride. He was not noticed until the<br />
vessel was at sea. Ralph is happy<br />
and well pleased with himself. ”<br />
The TEV (turbo-electric vessel)<br />
Rangatira was an inter-island<br />
express steamer commissioned<br />
in 1930 and in service until 1965,<br />
being finally scrapped in 1967.<br />
She was the fifth Union<br />
Steam Ship company vessel to<br />
carry that name and was much<br />
admired for her sleek, elegant<br />
lines and attractive timber<br />
and brass lined interior, well<br />
fitted out for the comfort of<br />
passengers.<br />
With a maximum service<br />
speed of 23·9 knots and an<br />
average of 17.5 knots, she held<br />
the record for fastest interisland<br />
journey covering the 280km<br />
between Wellington and<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
The ship had a colourful<br />
career, including but not<br />
confined to ploughing into the<br />
crane ship Rapaki in Lyttelton in<br />
1933, pushing that vessel beneath<br />
the wharf.<br />
In 1936 she survived a severe<br />
storm and grounding at Wellington<br />
Heads akin to that which<br />
resulted in the Wahine tragedy;<br />
thankfully the slow speed she<br />
was travelling meant that the<br />
ship was able to be reversed<br />
off the rocks with no injury to<br />
passengers.<br />
In 1940, foggy conditions<br />
resulted in her grounding at<br />
Pigeon <strong>Bay</strong> and the necessity to<br />
rescue 750 passengers, until she<br />
was freed with the assistance of a<br />
tug and a steamer.<br />
The war years saw her in<br />
service carrying troops to Fiji.<br />
Christmas Day 1959 saw another<br />
grounding – this time in Tory<br />
Channel and again requiring<br />
the disembarkation of passengers.<br />
Notwithstanding these events,<br />
the Rangatira completed 3500<br />
crossings of the Cook Strait,<br />
connecting many thousands of<br />

elegant Rangatira had a<br />
colouful career, including<br />
having a seven year-old<br />

With a capacity for 956<br />
passengers and 112 crew per<br />
voyage, that equates to nearly<br />
four million individual journeys.<br />

IN 2021 the Sumner Ferrymead<br />
Foundation successfully<br />
launched its scholarships<br />
and awards programme, and<br />
this year the programme has<br />
expanded to provide even more<br />
opportunities for residents in the<br />
foundation’s catchment area.<br />
Last year the foundation<br />
offered a range of academic<br />
scholarships, outward bound<br />
scholarships and an environmental<br />

two further opportunities – an<br />
apprentice award and an academic<br />

In Stitched Emotion<br />

Hwang uses fabric dyeing<br />
and freehand machine<br />
embroidery to process and<br />
narrate human emotions<br />
and feelings. She uses her<br />
work to express extreme<br />
opposites of emotional<br />
states; juxtaposing optimism<br />
through her regular<br />
use of rich colours, with<br />
the harsher complexities<br />
of feeling suggested by<br />
coarse-grained materials,<br />
such as raw silk. She uses<br />
the stitches of her intricate<br />
embroidery to bring these<br />
forces together in “a point<br />

Highlander hybrid worth the wait<br />
I WAS LOOKING forward to a<br />
Toyota Highlander hybrid drive<br />
with much enthusiasm.<br />
The fact it was delayed due to<br />
the most recent Covid-19 lockdown<br />
made the wait much longer<br />
and only served to heighten the<br />
anticipation.<br />
That may seem like an odd<br />
statement for someone who has<br />
often admitted it took some time<br />
to warm to the hybrid concept,<br />
but Toyota’s most recent technology<br />
and the inclusion of the<br />
Highlander into the hybrid programme<br />
here is most intriguing.<br />
It’s no surprise that has happened,<br />
Toyota has long offered<br />
hybrid options in most of its<br />
domestic market models, and<br />
the Highlander, even though it is<br />
sourced from the United States, is<br />
no exception.<br />
Toyota New Zealand has just<br />
landed a new Highlander. I<br />
evaluated the model most buyers<br />
would relate to in the past – the<br />
naturally-aspirated petrol V6<br />
variant – in these columns in<br />
October. This evaluation focuses<br />
on a high grade hybrid Limited,<br />
it comes in at $66,990, an extra<br />
$3k over the Limited V6. Bear<br />
in mind that there are three<br />
hybrid models and two V6s, the<br />
entry-level GXL hybrid starts at<br />
$63,990 and finishes at $74,990<br />
for the ZR variant.<br />
If there is one car that has<br />
changed my perception on hybrids<br />
it would be Toyota’s Camry<br />
of the late-2000s onwards, it just<br />
seemed so normal to drive and<br />
if you didn’t look at the energy<br />
consumption gauges you would<br />
hardly tell there was a hybrid<br />
driveline under the bonnet. Bear<br />
in mind as well, it is much the<br />
same driveline that is fitted to<br />
Toyota’s ever-popular RAV4 and<br />
several Lexus models.<br />
The Highlander hybrid is one<br />
smart piece of kit. Of course, the<br />
fact it is a seven-seat sport utility<br />
vehicle hasn’t been compromised,<br />
it is a big car and welcomes its<br />
occupants in family-friendly<br />
manner, and if you have the rear<br />
row of seats folded flat there’s a<br />
cavernous load carrying area.<br />
Of course, in Limited specification<br />
the Highlander is loaded<br />
with goodies, it is plush with its<br />
leather trim (heated front seats),<br />
satellite navigation, keyless entry<br />
and ignition, radar cruise control<br />
and electric tailgate. It also shares<br />
a five-star Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program safety rating.<br />
Toyota’s hybrid driveline hasn’t<br />
changed much in concept since<br />
it first arrived in Prius, of course,<br />
development over the years has<br />
meant is has become far more<br />
adaptable, more powerful, more<br />
economical and the petrol/electric<br />
process far more seamless.<br />
Effectively there are three<br />
petrol combinations for Toyota’s<br />
hybrid series – its Yaris Cross gets<br />
a 1.5-litre petrol engine, the Prius<br />
as we have known it from day one<br />
INFORMATIVE: Comprehensive display graphics are well<br />
integrated into the centre dash.<br />
TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID: The Limited model is joined by two other hybrid variants<br />
starting at $63,990 and ending $74,990.<br />
gets a 1.8-litre engine along with<br />
Corolla and CH-R, the RAV4,<br />
Camry and Highlander all have<br />
a 2.5-litre petrol engine. All are<br />
hooked to the Synergy Drive system<br />
that effectively is what makes<br />
it a hybrid.<br />
One of the reasons I was fascinated<br />
with the Highlander hybrid<br />
concept was through wondering<br />
if the combined output would<br />
be enough to transport the big<br />
vehicle and a load of occupants<br />
without struggling. Well, I’m<br />
pleased to report even with a kerb<br />
weight of just over two-tonne and<br />
a full load, the Highlander drives<br />
without feeling burdened.<br />
Toyota claims power outputs<br />
of 142kW and 242Nm from the<br />
2487cc petrol engine, add in all of<br />
the power from the front and rear<br />
motors and you’ll find the outputs<br />
are more than satisfactory.<br />
Yes, the Highlander hybrid has<br />
two electric motors, one which<br />
works normally like it would in<br />
two-wheel-drive hybrids, the other<br />
sits over the rear axle providing<br />
drive so that a traditional Highlander<br />
buyer would keep in touch<br />
with an all-wheel-drive set-up.<br />
It works well, I didn’t tackle any<br />
off-road tracks, but I did drive<br />
it in trail mode on a winding<br />
shingle road near Coalgate to get<br />
a feel of the system maintaining<br />
grip on a loose surface. There was<br />
never a point where I could feel<br />
it working any differently to any<br />
traditional SUV of this type with<br />
• Price – Toyota Highlander<br />
hybrid Limited, $66,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4950mm; width, 1930mm;<br />
height, 1730mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2487cc, 142kW (+42kW),<br />
242Nm, continuously<br />
variable automatic<br />
• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />
9.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.6l/100km<br />
just petrol power and standard<br />
four-wheel-drive modes.<br />
On the seal there is a feel that<br />
power is just transferring out the<br />
front, but that is something you<br />
really have feel for and under<br />
normal driving conditions I’d say<br />
it’s very difficult to detect.<br />
The Highlander handles little<br />
differently to that of its big V6<br />
stablemate, it leans a little in a<br />
corner due to its height (1.7m),<br />
but movement over the suspension<br />
is stable and controlled. The<br />
spring and damper rates are a<br />
good compromise between what<br />
is needed for cross-country travel<br />
and maintaining composure<br />
when a tight corner is presented.<br />
As much as the Highlander<br />
hybrid clings to its grass roots<br />
design, it excels in an area where<br />
you wouldn’t think imaginable<br />
from a big SUV – that is fuel<br />
economy. The standard V6 is<br />
now rated with an 8.8-litre per<br />
100km combined cycle figure,<br />
that is about what you expect<br />
from a 3.5-litre petrol engine.<br />
The hybrid, on the other hand,<br />
is rated by Toyota at 5.6l/100km.<br />
That’s easily achievable, when<br />
I took the test car back to the<br />
dealership after 250km, the dash<br />
panel readout was registering a<br />
7l/100km figure.<br />
That was a good result and one<br />
that came easily, I didn’t drive the<br />
evaluation car any differently to<br />
that of its stablemate, I ushered<br />
in acceleration vividly when<br />
needed and drove to my normal<br />
parameters which generally aren’t<br />
that fuel thrifty. On that subject,<br />
the hybrid doesn’t lose out much<br />
in acceleration, it will scamper<br />
to 100km/h in 9sec, about1sec<br />
slower than the V6.<br />
The talk around hybrids at the<br />
moment is the Government’s<br />
Clear Car Programme discount<br />
on plug-in vehicles. Of course,<br />
the Highlander hybrid is not<br />
a plug-in so it doesn’t qualify,<br />
which to my way of thinking<br />
is a little nonsensical, if the<br />
Government is serious about<br />
getting new car buyers thinking<br />
about fuel efficiency then all<br />
hybrids should be in the mix for a<br />
discount.<br />
Nevertheless, the Highlander<br />
hybrid is a giant step in Toyota’s<br />
hybrid programme, it will most<br />
certainly make a big impression<br />
in the Kiwi market.

Cass <strong>Bay</strong> Dinghy Shelter Storage<br />
A review of the occupancy at the Cass <strong>Bay</strong> Dinghy Shelter has<br />
highlighted that there are a number of vessels/dinghies stored in the<br />
shelter without the relevant authorisation under the Council’s Marine,<br />
River and Lake Facilities Bylaw 2017. This is a breach of the Bylaw.<br />
The Council has no records of the occupiers at spaces number 4, 13, 14,<br />
<strong>26</strong> and 28. These have been tagged on 8 <strong>January</strong> <strong>2022</strong> with a request<br />
to contact the Council. Under section 164 of the Local Government<br />
Act 2002, the Council may seize and impound property where that<br />
property is materially involved in the breach of a bylaw. The Council<br />
may dispose of this property at the owner’s risk.<br />
If this is your vessel/dinghy or you know who is using the space,<br />
please ask them to contact Kathy.Jarden@ccc.govt.nz to arrange<br />
a licence. The annual fee is $165.<br />
Those vessels/dinghies stored without permission will be<br />
seized and impounded.<br />
