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 />

community he loves through volunteering and coaching rugby. PHOTO: KRISTIE BOLAND<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 />

With a capacity for 956<br />

launched its scholarships<br />

this year the programme has<br />

expanded to provide even more<br />

offered a range of academic<br />

the harsher complexities<br />

of feeling suggested by<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.

Public Notices<br />

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 />
