Cave Rock 

lights

on year 

round 

• By Kristie Boland 

THE CONTENTIOUS lights on 

top of Cave Rock can be turned 

on 365 days a year. 

The issue of when the lights can 

be turned on has been a subject of 

debate, prompting the Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote Community 

Board to get answers from the city 

council. 

The board 

has been told 

the lease for the 

lighting, which 

is solar-powered, 

does not limit the 

number of nights 

the lights can be 

turned on. 

Board member 

Sara Templeton 

Sara 

Templeton 

said: “This is different to what I 

had expected.” 

Templeton said she had 

originally thought the lighting 

would only be turned on at 

Christmas and Easter, as it was in 

the past.

Confusion over dog signs 


OUT OF date dog control 

signage at Sumner and 

Scarborough beaches has left 

some people questioning where 

dogs can and cannot go. 

The Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

has discussed the differences in 

restrictions at the beaches and 

how to make the signs more 

simple. 

There is also no dog control 

signage along the southern 

side of the estuary to advise 

people dogs are not permitted to 

protect wildlife. 

The board will request city 

council staff set up more simple 

signage around the estuary to 

say dogs are not permitted. 

Board member Darrell 

Latham brought the matter to 

the board’s 

attention, 

asking why 

the signage 

at Sumner 

states no dogs 

are allowed 

on the beach 

between 

Darrell 

Latham 

November 1 

and March 

31, but at 

Scarborough they say dogs 

are allowed as long as they are 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

RESTRICTED: The signage showing the rules for dogs at 

Sumner and Scarborough beaches needs to be updated. 

under “effective control”. 

Dogs are not allowed on 

Sumner Beach during this 

time because it is a patrolled 

swimming beach. 

However, Latham pointed out 

Scarborough Beach also became 

a patrolled swimming beach 

in December. The Sumner Surf 

Life Saving Club set up its first 

official patrol at Scarborough for 

60 years, which has encouraged 

more swimmers to the area. 

However, the dog signage 

at Scarborough says to keep 

dogs under “effective control”, 

which means they are allowed 

to run on that part of the beach 

without being on a leash as long 

as the owner is within a short 

distance. 

Latham said he has requested 

information from the city 

council on why the signs had 

not been changed. 

But changes to the dog rules 

are not a simple matter. The city 

council regulates where dogs 

can and cannot go through the 

Dog Bylaw, which is due to be 

reviewed in 2023. 

The city council has said it 

will change the signs for the 

next summer season. 

“My point was that the signs 

will still be out of date because 

the review wouldn’t have taken 

place by then,” Latham said.

WEED SPRAYING FROM 

CHOPPER 

Weed spraying on the 

coastal cliffs from Pigeon 

Bay to Akaroa Harbour has 

started. The spraying is being 

carried out by helicopter, 

with permission from the 

neighbouring landowners. 

The helicopters are using 

Grazon to target spur valerian, 

boneseed and pig’s ear – three 

weeds that pose a threat to 

areas of ecological significance 

identified in the city council’s 

District Plan. Because the 

spraying is only being done in

coastal marine area should be 

unaffected. Spraying should be 

finished by April 29.

Who will vie to replace Turner? 


THE RACE to succeed Andrew 

Turner as Banks Peninsula Ward 

city councillor is under way with 

several candidates declaring 

their interest in taking over 

from the deputy mayor when he 

stands down in October. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board members were surprised 

to hear of Turner’s decision. 

Turner has been the ward’s 

councillor for nine years, 

following three years on the 

community board, but will not 

run again in the October local 

government elections. 

Board chairwoman Tori 

Peden has confirmed she will be 

throwing her hat in the ring for 

the city council seat, running as 

an independent. 

“Banks 

Peninsula needs 

a strong voice 

to represent 

our community 

around the 

council table,” 

said Peden. 

Tori Peden 

“We are in an 

ever-changing 

environment, 

and we need to the have the 

lives and the livelihoods of our 

community front and centre. I 

can be that voice.” 

Peden said the top three issues 

facing Banks Peninsula are 

climate change, tourism and 

infrastructure. 

Board member Tyrone Fields 

is also interested in the position, 

saying it was his “dream job”. 

Fields won the Lyttelton 

subdivision byelection 

for the 

Banks Peninsula 

Community 

Board in 2018. 

Fields also 

tried for the 

Labour Party 

nomination for 

the Ports Hills 

seat in the 2020 

Tyrone 

Fields 

election but missed out to Tracey 

McLellan. 

He said his objective is to go 

for a city council seat this year. 

“I’m a progressive, I’m a lefty. 

I support progressive policies 

advocated for by any councillor. 

I care about social and 

environmental issues and the 

aspirations of mana whenua on 

the peninsula and that’s where I 

absolutely stand,” said Fields. 

“Andrew 

has done a 

fantastic job as 

the councillor 

for Banks 

Peninsula. 

He’s a man 

of incredible 

integrity and 

whoever gets 

the role is going 

STEPPING 

DOWN: 

Andrew

the Banks 

Peninsula 

city council 

seat in 

October’s 

local 

government 

elections. 

Reuben 

Davidson 

to have really big shoes to fill,” 

he said. 

Board member Reuben 

Davidson also expressed interest 

in the council seat. 

“I love living in Lyttelton and 

I’m passionate about the Banks 

Peninsula community having a 

strong voice at the council table, 

so I’m giving the role serious 

thought,” he said. 

Davidson is a Labour Party 

member. “Ultimately the 

decision about who becomes 

our council candidate for Banks 

Peninsula is a decision for the 

party,” he said. 

Board member Nigel Harrison 

said he will consider “standing 

for the council to give an 

independent, peninsula-born 

option for voters”. 

“I have a passion for the 

peninsula and would want to 

support all of the communities 

individual aspirations. 

“Lyttelton is not Akaroa and 

Akaroa is not Little River and 

so on. One size does not fit 

all, which is where the current 

council policy seems to be 

driving us,” said Harrison. 

Turner is currently the caucus 

leader for left-leaning The 

People’s Choice. 

The People’s Choice will select 

a replacement candidate for the 

local government elections. 

Potential candidates can 

nominate themselves or be 

nominated. 

A panel of residents 

will be involved in the 

selection. 

The People’s Choice 

chairwoman Michelle Lomax 

said the selection process is 

likely to happen in April.

A little Helpr 

for disrupted 

businesses 

BANKS PENINSULA 

Community Board member 

Reuben Davidson has started up a 

new initiative to assist businesses 

affected by the ongoing protests in 

the capital. 

Helpr is a website that anyone 

can log on to, buy a voucher, and 

get funds to the people that need 

support in the Wellington CBD. 

The vouchers are for participating 

businesses and can be 

redeemed for a coffee or a beer 

when things return to normal, 

or you can simply support by 

donating. 

Helpr is partnered with SOS 

Business, an initiative set up during 

the first lockdown in 2019 to 

support small businesses around 

the country. 

Davidson said he came up with 

the idea of Helpr when he heard 

from business owners that they 

are counting the days they have 

left before they will need to close 

the doors. 

“We’re launching a site to empower 

New Zealanders anywhere 

to show support and make sure 

they can keep them open,” said 

Davidson. 

Davidson said more than 5000 

people visited the Helpr website 

over the weekend and $15,000 has 

already been raised.

Draft stormwater plan 

open for consultation 

CONSULTATION opened on 

Monday for the Ihutai-Estuary 

and Coastal draft stormwater 

management plan. 

The plan is the third of seven 

being prepared between 2020 

and 2023 for the district’s different 

stormwater catchments. 

The plans set out the ways the 

city council will meet the requirements 

of its 25-year Comprehensive 

Stormwater Network 

Discharge Consent, which was 

granted by Environment Canterbury 

in 2019. 

“Stormwater is all water that 

falls onto roads, paths and other 

hard surfaces. It picks up pollution 

from these surfaces which 

makes its way into local streams 

and rivers impacting the quality 

of water,” city council head of 

three waters Helen Beaumont 

said. 

Beaumont said the Ihutai-Estuary 

and Coastal catchment 

has unique features which are 

considered in the plan. 

“The Ihutai-Estuary provides 

important feeding grounds for 

native migratory birds that rely 

on a healthy and thriving ecosystem,” 

Beaumont SAID. 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust chairman Kit 

UNIQUE: The city council is seeking feedback on 

the Ihutai-Estuary and Coastal draft stormwater 

management plan to improve the way it manages 

stormwater in the area. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

Doudney said the trust would 

be suggesting to the city council 

that better construction site containments 

for sediment run-off 

be investigated. 

“We would like to see 

the council employ two or 

more new staff members to 

facilitate education for the 

sector, and monitor and advise 

best practices for sediment 

containment in large rainfall 

events, Doudney SAID. 

Submissions on the city 

council’s Ihutai-Estuary and 

Coastal draft stormwater 

management plans can be made 

until April 26. 

Heated discussion 

fLoor CoverinG 

• From page 1 

Templeton requested 

information on the lease terms 

from the council after several 

members of the public indicated 

to her that they were going to 

approach the board with their 

concerns. 

But no one came forward with 

concerns at the latest meeting 

said Templeton. 

“I’d encourage residents to get 

in contact with the board if they 

have concerns about the lighting 

and at that stage we’d be able 

to ask for further advice,” said 

Templeton. 

It is the cross shape of the 

lighting that has caused an ongoing 

public debate. 

A photo of the mast posted to 

the Sumner Facebook community 

page on Saturday sparked a 

heated discussion. 

Some comments said the lighting 

was “stunning” while others 

were unhappy with it, calling it 

“a Christian beacon.” 

The lighting is a navigational 

mast put up in 1864 to guide 

shipping. 

The mast lighting in the past 

has been used to celebrate Easter, 

Anzac Day, Christmas and significant 

national events such as 

the coronation of King George 

VI in 1937. 

The community tradition 

of lighting on the mast 

continued until the February 22, 

2011, earthquake damaged the 

signal house. 

Following its repair in 2016, 

the lighting was not reinstated 

until December last year. 

Sumner-Redcliffs Historical 

Society members and the 

Sumner Community Residents’ 

Association lobbied and raised 

funds for the lights to reinstated.

runs for cause 


CAMERON HAYLOCK discovered the 

‘runners high’ during lockdown – and 

used that high to run 100km to raise 

$5500 for Christchurch youth. 

The Thanks Foundation founder from 

Sumner has added endurance running to 

his list of sports. 

He’s also a surfer, snowboarder and skater 

and his not-for-profit organisation helps 

young people in Christchurch access these 

sports. 

“I just see how many young people 

would want to be a part of these sports,” 

he said. 

Haylock, along with others from the 

Thanks Foundation, have started taking 

young people on weekly skating trips and 

hope to do the same with surfing and 

snowboarding. 

The 30-year-old recently ran the Port 

Hills Ultra. Leading up to the race, he set 

up a Givealittle page with a goal of raising 

$5000. 

The money will go towards surf equipment 

to give young people around the city. 

“We all know the benefit of surfing on 

your well-being so we want to make sure 

more and more young people get the opportunity 

to get out there,” said Haylock. 

After the lockdown last year, he decided 

he needed to do something different to 

“just surfing or drinking coffee” and took 

up running. 

“I actually managed to get that thing 

they call the runners high and then I started 

educating myself around the endurance 

and trail-running. I got curious about how 

far I could push myself physically and 

mentally,” said Haylock. 

He pushed himself to his limits three 

weeks ago in torrential ran and fierce 

wind. 

It took him 17 hours and 15 minutes to 

complete 90km of the 100km ultra run 

through the Port Hills, but due to freezing 

and dangerous conditions he had to stop 

there.

“At the end of the day, I was pretty 

stoked to go that far, it just wasn’t worth it 

carrying on. I still had the ability to process 

and analyse what was going on with 

my body and everything else around me,” 

said Haylock. 

He went back last Wednesday to complete 

the final 10km. 

The Givealittle page has now raised 

more than $5500 for the equipment and 

Haylock is “stoked” with the outcome. 

He said he sees young people challenging 

themselves all the time to learn new 

things and he wants to do the same. 

“Being the founder of a non for profit I 

always want to be seen challenging myself 

mentally, physically, spiritually or emotionally,” 

he said. 

Haylock said Thanks Foundation exists 

to share the power of continuously saying 

thanks. 

“Thanks Foundation creates 

opportunities for young people of all 

abilities to build stories collectively and 

individually, intentionally focusing on 

their mental health and well-being, while 

having fun,” said Haylock.

SPEEDY: Zara ‘the Lamborghini’ on a burst for the Tiger 

Sharks rippa rugby team. 


SUMNER RUGBY Club is 

looking forward to another stellar 

season as interest continues to 

grow in girls’ junior teams, which 

have seen a big increase in players 

over the last two seasons. 

The club is still taking junior 

registrations, with pre-season 

training starting on March 16, 

and the competition kicking off 

on May 7. 

The Tiger Sharks play rippa 

rugby in the under 10/11 grade. 

This is non-contact and the rules 

are simple. It also promotes 

excellent ball handling and 

running skills, while giving all 

players a chance to participate in 

a game. 

The club has some strong junior 

talent, such as 10-year-old Zara 

Percasky, a year 6 pupil at Selwyn 

House School. 

Zara was seven when she 

started playing rippa rugby. 

She has two older brothers and 

is not afraid to get in amongst the 

play. 

She is fit and fast and always has 

a good chance of out running the 

other players. “I’m motivated 

to play rugby because I love 

the feeling of walking onto the 

field about to play a game,” said 

Zara. 

“It feels like our team is about to 

achieve something great together, 

and walking off the field knowing 

we’ve either achieved that or 

knowing we have to work harder 

at the next training session for the 

following game. 

“I have had amazing coaches 

that have pushed me by helping 

me and encouraging me to keep 

going for the try line and all the 

rips. 

“My friends and coach called 

me ‘The Lamborghini’ because I 

was so fast.” 

Said junior club captain Richie 

Dimbleby: “Zara is a great 

wee rugby player, and she gets 

involved with a heap of other 

sports too.” 

Zara is involved in everything 

from cross-country running and 

athletics to water polo, swimming 

basketball and netball, just to 

name a few. 


SPORT 11 

Lamborghini-like young rippa rugby star 

Playing a variety of sports has 

helped her develop a number of 

different skills and increase her 

fitness. 

Said Jake Mangin, the 

club’s head coach and rugby 

development officer: “Sport New 

Zealand’s initiative, Balance 

is Better, offers a fresh way of 

thinking for the club as it’s about 

creating quality experiences for all 

young people to keep them active 

and in the game. 

“We embrace this opportunity 

to innovate and show our 

commitment to kids such as 

Zara,” Mangin said. 

“We understand we are an 

important part of the long-term 

development of all the children 

and families who chose to join 

Sumner Rugby Club. 

“Most of all we want the kids to 

have fun in an inclusive and safe 

environment.”

Three generations of fighting 

Bay Harbour News 

continues its series on 

our fire chiefs. Reporter 

Kristie Boland talks to 

Akaroa Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief Mark 

Thomson 

FIGHTING FIRES and saving 

lives runs in the blood for Mark 

Thomson and his family. 

Three generations of Thomsons 

have served at the Akaroa 

Volunteer Fire Brigade, Mark is 

in his 44th year. 

He was following in his father’s 

footsteps, his own two sons have 

done the same. 

“I served with my father and 

both of my boys have served in 

the Akaroa brigade with me,” 

Thomson said. 

During his time Thomson has 

worn many hats. He has been a 

farmer, a rugby player, a coach, 

a publican and, of course, a 

firefighter. 

Thomson has lived in Akaroa 

most of his life. When he was 10, 

his family moved from Geraldine 

to a farm in Akaroa where 

his mother ran a local cafe which 

Thomson helped out in after 

school. 

When he finished school, 

Thomson went shearing for a 

couple of years around Banks 

Peninsula. A couple of years later

The Language of Food 

by Annabel Abbs 

“Mouth-watering and sensuous, a real feast for the imagination” 

England 1835. Eliza Acton is a poet who dreams of seeing her 

words in print. But when she takes her new manuscript to a 

publisher, she’s told that ‘poetry is not the business of a lady’. 

Instead, they want her to write a cookery book. That’s what readers 

really want from women. England is awash with exciting new 

ingredients, from spices to exotic fruits. But no one knows how to use 

them. 

Eliza leaves the offices appalled. But when her father is forced to flee the country for 

bankruptcy, she has no choice but to consider the proposal. Never having cooked 

before, she is determined to learn and to discover, if she can, the poetry in recipe writing. 

To assist her, she hires seventeen-year-old Ann Kirby, the impoverished daughter of a 

war-crippled father and a mother with dementia. 

Over the course of ten years, Eliza and Ann developed an unusual friendship - one that 

crossed social classes and divides - and, together, they broke the mould of traditional 

cookbooks and changed the course of cookery writing forever.

generation of firefighters when 

they followed in their father’s 

footsteps and joined the brigade 

at 16. Ryan is now a full-time 

firefighter at Sydenham fire 

station. 

Thomson said he enjoys being 

in the brigade with a group of 

very like-minded people, of all 

ages. 

“Everybody is there for the 

same reason, everybody is completely 

different but we all believe 

in, and want to do the same 

thing and that’s help people,” 

Thomson said. 

Thomson spent his youth 

playing rugby for Banks 

Peninsula until he retired from 

the game at 32 and coached the 

kids and colts grades. After a 

few years of not playing rugby 

himself, he got bored and started 

playing football, which he still 

plays now. 

The Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade 

is a team of first responders, 

meaning they do extra training 

for medical call-outs. 

A medical call-out that has 

always stuck in Thomson’s mind 

is one he attended with his son 

Blake. 

He and Blake were first on 

the scene to a woman who had 

suffered a heart attack. 

They administered CPR 

and brought the woman back to 

life. 

For the green

“A few weeks later we got 

cards from all her grandkids 

thanking us for giving 

them the chance to have 

another Christmas with 

their grandma, so that was 

really cool, it’s always stuck 

in my mind that one,” said 

Thomson. 

Thomson enjoys the 

camaraderie in the brigade, 

the crew socialises together 

often. 

He has been the chief fire 

officer for nearly 9 years 

now and has a passion for 

teaching the new recruits. 

“There’s been a lot of 

boys that I’ve had to work 

really hard to get them in 

the brigade and I honestly 

think it’s made a lot of 

difference to the boys, 

between the rugby and the 

fire brigade, 99 per cent of 

them have turned out great 

people,” said Thomson. 

Thomson said that most 

of the volunteers that leave 

Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade 

join another brigade 

where they go. Six of whom 

have become full-time fire 

fighters. But sometimes it 

can be very hard being a 

first responder in a small 

town where you know most 

people. 

“When you get called 

out to somebody you know 

and you can’t do anything 

about it, when it’s a friend 

of yours or someone you 

know had an accident or 

their house burns down 

and when you get there 

there’s nothing you can do 

that really annoys me not 

being able to help,” Thomson 

said. 

Thomson has seen a lot 

over the 44 years he has 

been a first responder.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Dream finally realised 

with career change 

Not so long ago, Saulo Faafoe was 

working two jobs – as a taxi driver and 

benchtop installer – but he was a long way 

from his dream career. 

“I always felt a pull to construction,” he 

says. At school in Samoa, Saulo particularly 

enjoyed woodwork and any classes that 

involved making things. He also loved 

working with family and friends on building 

projects. 

Saulo knew he needed to get proper skills 

and training in order to get into his dream 

career, but financial constraints always 

seemed to be an obstacle. 

“I was earning barely enough to 

support my young family,” he says. So 

when he found out about Ara Institute of 

Canterbury’s free Pacific Trades Training 

options, he took the bull by the horns and 

enrolled in a Certificate in Carpentry. 

Fast forward and Saulo is now a qualified 

carpenter working at Hi Spec Homes in 

Christchurch. “Getting work straight away 

was an absolute highlight,” he says. “The 

practical skills I learned made transitioning 

into work easy and I felt more than capable 

on my first day in the job.” 

Saulo encourages anyone considering 

changing career to make that leap of faith. 

“Study has a big impact on your life. The 

skills I’ve learned, and the knowledge and 

experience I’ve gained, have contributed 

greatly to my family and the wider 

community.” 

To those who maybe think it’s too late 

to change careers, Saulo has this to say: 

“Follow your passion because age doesn’t 

matter in the world of studies. No matter 

how busy life is or how tough it might get, if 

there’s a will there’s a way.” 

Ara Institute of Canterbury offers more 

than 150 career-focused study options 

ranging from certificates and diplomas to 

degrees and postgraduate qualifications. 

Ara offers a wide range of subject 

areas including art and design, health, 

IT, business, food and hospitality, trades, 

engineering and more. 

Places are still available for study 

options starting at Ara now and 

applications are open for courses starting 

mid-year. For more details visit ara.ac.nz

Treasures from the past: ‘Grand old man’ 

SIR HEATON Rhodes is 

pictured on the right looking 

tall and jolly with his bowler hat 

in hand, strolling past the old 

Lyttelton Fire Station and library 

on the corner of Sumner Rd and 

Oxford St, possibly in the 

mid-1930s or later. 

He’s in the company of various 

Lyttelton dignitaries, including 

on his left the ‘Lyttelton mayor 

for life’ Frederick Sutton, who 

held the office for 15 years, on 

and off, from 1925 to 1944, and 

whose name graces the port’s 

wharf road, Sutton Quay. 

One might wonder as to 

the occasion for this street 

procession, and the rather sullen 

school children brought out to 

greet the visiting dignitary. But 

Rhodes looms large as one of 

the most famous and well-loved 

public figures of early 20thcentury 

New Zealand. 

A son of Whakaraupō, he was 

born at Purau in 1861 before his 

family moved out to their grand 

Elmwood House on what is 

now the grounds of the Heaton 

Normal Intermediate School, 

adjacent to Elmwood Park on 

Heaton St in Christchurch. 

His schooling included Mrs 

Alabaster’s school in Cranmer 

Square and Reverend Charles 

Turrell’s school in Upper 

Riccarton, followed by a stint at 

the Château de Lancy in Geneva

School, England. As a young 

man, he excelled in gentlemen’s 

sports while completing an MA 

in law at Oxford. He was called 

to the Bar of the Inner Temple 

in London before returning to 

New Zealand as a barrister of the 

Supreme Court at Christchurch 

in 1888. 

After such an illustrious start 

in life, it is perhaps no wonder 

Rhodes went on to greater things 

across a range of fields. 

He purchased land near Tai 

Tapu and built the Victorian 

mansion, Otahuna, in 1895, 

establishing New Zealand’s first 

herd of norfolk red poll cattle on 

its 5000 acres (2023ha). 

Serving as president of the 

Canterbury Agricultural 

and Pastoral Association, his 

Otahuna gardens became very 

popular among horticulturists 

and the general public. 

An avid horseman, he joined 

the Canterbury Yeomanry 

Cavalry Volunteers and was 

promoted to captain in 1902 

before serving with distinction 

in the Second Boer War. 

On his return he was 

commander of the Canterbury 

Mounted Rifles Brigade until 

1921. 

Meanwhile, his political 

career began in 1899 when, 

aged 38, he was elected to the 

seat of Ellesmere before going 

on to join Prime Minister Bill 

Massey’s 1912 cabinet as health 

minister. 

Resigning in 1915 to become 

a special commissioner for the 

wartime coalition government 

in Egypt, Malta, and Gallipoli, 

Rhodes went on to supervise 

British Red Cross hospitals in 

France and England. 

Feted for his wartime 

service, he was named a Knight 

Commander (KBE), Order of 

the British Empire, in 1920, at 

which time he rejoined Massey’s 

second government as minister 

for defence, where his purchase 

of the Sockburn Airfield led to 

the establishment of the Royal 

New Zealand Air Force and its 

Wigram Airbase. 

Not content with these 

achievements, Rhodes also 

became commissioner of state 

forests in 1922 and laid the 

foundations for New Zealand’s 

flourishing timber industry. 

Retiring from elected political 

life in 1925 at the age of 64, 

the following year Rhodes was 

appointed to New Zealand’s 

House of Lords, the legislative 

council, where he served the 

nation through to his wellearned 

actual retirement in 1941 

at the venerable age of 80. 

His final years at Otahuna 

remained active, of course, until 

confined to a wheelchair at the 

very end. 

This ‘grand old man’ of New 

Zealand public life, horticulturist 

and cattle breeder, soldier, 

philanthropist, and minister of 

the Crown, among many other 

achievements, passed on at Tai 

Tapu on July 30, 1956.

DRIVESOUTH 

NZ Classic Driver reaches a milestone with its 100th issue 

18 

WITH THE March/April 

edition, the team looks back 

at NZ Classic Driver’s history 

– starting with the very first 

edition in July/August 2003. 

Founded by Allan Dick, 

one of New Zealand’s most 

notable motoring journalists, 

NZ Classic Driver’s editorial 

mission has been to write 

about classic cars and historical 

motorsport in as entertaining a 

manner as possible. 

Allan Dick edited and 

published NZ Classic Driver 

until late 2011 when Tony 

Haycock stepped into the role. 

Classic Driver’s current editor, 

Allan Walton, become the 

magazine’s third editor when 

he took over in 2016. 

As well as featuring some of 

New Zealand’s best classic cars, 

NZ Classic Driver’s goal has 

always been to preserve local 

motor racing history by talking 

to the personalities involved, 

examining and writing 

about the cars themselves 

and preserving their stories 

for both present and future 

generations. 

Now with 100 editions 

under its belt, it is clear that 

this approach has served the 

magazine well. 

This special collectors’ 

edition celebrating the 

magazine’s centenary also 

offers readers a chance to win. 

The team has come up with six 

of their favourite classic cars – 

ranging from a Mini Cooper to 

a Corvette Stingray, and want 

readers to have their say by 

selecting their own favourite 

car. 

As a special reward, 

participating readers will 

go in the draw to win a 

Wet&Forget prize pack 

valued at $183.49 to ensure 

that their car (and garage) 

looks its best. 

More details on this 

competition can be found in 

the 100th edition that is now 

on bookshelves. 

The 100th issue of 

NZ Classic Driver can be 

purchased from bookstores 

and supermarkets.

Popular Tiguan spearheads VW range 

TO LEARN the Tiguan was 

Volkswagen’s biggest selling 

model in New Zealand took me 

quite by surprise. 

You see, I would have thought 

that mantle belonged to Golf or 

even the new T-Cross, but I guess 

with the sport utility market 

buoyant with mid-size wagons 

the Tiguan would slot into the 

realm of a desirable purchase. 

Of course, there’s no doubt 

the Golf over time would still 

be Volkswagen’s biggest selling 

model in New Zealand, but just 

at present the Tiguan is selling in 

large numbers. 

Volkswagen has just released 

a facelifted Tiguan and it can 

only increase the affection Kiwis 

have for it. Up front there is a 

new grille, lights and bumper, 

with similar treatment at the rear. 

There’s a raft of new kit inside, 

more so items unseen with extra 

safety additions and the inclusion 

of a new MIB-3 infotainment 

system, it features app-connect 

(wireless Android Auto and 

wireless Apple CarPlay) allowing 

you to seamlessly connect 

compatible apps from your 

smartphone. 

In terms of mechanical difference, 

not a lot has changed, there 

are four models in the Tiguan 

line-up, two front-wheel-drive 

models with a 1.4-litre engine 

and two four-wheel-drive models 

with a 2-litre engine, both petrol-fed 

and turbocharged. 

The range starts at $46,990 and 

ends at $68,990. The evaluation 

car was the range-topping TSi 

R-Line 4WD with the 1984cc 

engine. As a matter of interest, I 

have had a few kilometres in the 

1.4-litre model and I can report 

that that engine is far from underwhelming, 

it’s much the same 

engine that is in the Golf and it 

is a feisty little brute that punches 

well above its weight. In fact, 

it would be the engine I would 

choose. 

However, the 2-litre engine is 

also rather intriguing, it comes 

in a choice of two power outputs 

– 132kW or 162kW. The R-Line 

model gets the higher power 

output, and if you add in grunty 

350Nm of torque (available from 

1500 to 4400rpm) it is strong and 

extremely capable. 

Mention must also be made 

of the area where power is 

developed, its peak arrives at 

just 4500rpm and spreads to 

6200rpm, that being the case 

there is no drop off of performance, 

the engine simply pulls 

from nowhere and doesn’t lag 

across the entire rev band. 

In terms of acceleration the 

Tiguan in this form will reach 

100km/h from a standstill in 

8.2sec, and if you are making a 

highway overtake it will scamper 

DESIRABLE: Large car comfort packaged into a mid-size 

sport utility vehicle. 

VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN TSI: Four models with two or four-wheel-drive options. 

from 80 to 120km/h in 5.5sec. 

Drive is sent through a seven-speed 

direct shift transmission, 

this is my preferred gearbox, 

it’s sort of a cross between 

a traditional torque converter 

type and continuously variable 

transmission. The best way I can 

describe it is that’s like a manual 

gearbox with a robotised clutch, 

there are only two pedals so you 

treat it exactly as you would any 

automatic. However, there is a 

Tiptronic function (gearshift 

paddles) and sport mode if you 

want the engine to hold higher 

revolutions. 

Volkswagen also rates the 

high power engine with an 8.3-litre 

per 100km combined cycle 

average. At 100km/h on the highway 

the engine is turning over at 

just 1800rpm registering a healthy 

5.8l/100km figure. After a long 

drive and some use on suburban 

streets the Tiguan’s trip computer 

was showing 9l/100km. By my 

reckoning these are good results. 

The Tiguan is a purposeful 

family wagon. It has large car 

comfort packaged into a midsize 

that drives and rides with 

comfort, along with presenting 

the driver with an informative 

driving sensation. 

I took the evaluation car on 

my usual mid-Canterbury run 

through to Glenroy, returning 

to the city via Dunsandel and 

• Price – Volkswagen 

Tiguan TSi R-Line 4WD, 

$68,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4511mm; width, 1850mm; 

height, 1635mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

1984cc, 162kW, 350Nm, 

seven-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.2sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.3/100km 

Lincoln, the Tiguan provides a 

relaxing driving experience and 

all those on board would find it 

that way. 

On the seal it glides through 

the air with quiet ease and is 

capable when presented with a 

quick corner or two. The Tiguan 

is very car-like, there is no presence 

of height nor bulk, it feels 

lithe and spirited. 

The Tiguan in R-Line 

specification rides on high quality 

19in Michelin tyres and they 

are certainly up for a cornering 

challenge. They don’t moan under 

pressure and combine to give the 

driver positive information as to 

what is happening in relation to 

the road surface. 

I took the evaluation car off the 

seal and onto a clay-based track 

just to get a feel for the 4Motion 

four-wheel-drive network. There 

wasn’t any elevation but a small 

ford at the end of the track made 

for a slippery departure, I could 

feel the driveline engaging so 

that wheelspin in any corner was 

eliminated. 

In terms of what you get for 

your outlay, the Tiguan comes 

very well equipped, and the controls 

and functions are intuitive. 

Major features include leather 

trim with heated and electrically 

adjustable seats, satellite navigation, 

keyless entry and ignition, 

radar cruise control and head-up 

display. 

The new infotainment system 

responds quickly to input, and 

pairing of devices is something 

that even the old generation can 

relate to. My old iPhone was 

readily accepted and functionality 

within the system is deep. 

One of my wife’s relatives is in 

the market for a new SUV. She 

wouldn’t buy anything other than 

a German car and was looking 

at premium brands. I suggested 

to her that Volkswagen has a 

solid range of SUVs, small to 

big – T-Cross to Touareg. It’s 

something she hadn’t considered, 

but she is now looking at them 

closely, and certainly the price 

compared to the competition is 

hugely attractive. 

I hope she goes with my 

recommendation and buys into a 

Tiguan.

Public Notices 

The Ihutai-Estuary and Coastal 

Stormwater Management Plan 

A stormwater management plan sets out the ways 

in which Christchurch City Council will meet the 

requirements of its stormwater resource consent, 

which was granted by Environment Canterbury 

in 2019 – the Comprehensive Stormwater 

Network Discharge Consent (CSNDC). Its purpose 

is to improve surface and groundwater quality 

and address problems caused by the nature 

of stormwater discharged into waterways. It 

promotes water quality improvements over time 

in order to meet targets in the Land and Water 

Regional Plan. This is one of seven plans being 

prepared over the period 2020 to 2023. 

We want to hear your thoughts on the Ihutai- 

Estuary and Coastal Stormwater Management 

Plan. Feedback is open from 28 February to 26 

April 2022. You can read the plan and have your 

say online at ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay
