Duvauchelle teen
does the hard
yards to make
Selwyn XV
• By Chris Barclay
THE NEXT time travelling to rugby
training seems like a grind, consider the
lengths Hugh Nichols goes to for the
Selwyn Schools 1st XV.
An abrasive loose forward, Nichols
exemplifies the commitment required to
play for a composite team drawn from
Akaroa to Rolleston, Lincoln to Darfield.
Ellesmere too, for good measure.
Nichols, who is preparing for his second
and final season in the Miles Toyota
Championship is Akaroa Area School’s
only representative, so it’s a solitary
122km round trip from Duvauchelle to
Lincoln High School twice a week for
training.

Contract
signed
for jetty
rebuild;
August
start date
• By Kristie Boland
WORK WILL start on the
rebuild of the Governors Bay
Jetty in August.
The Governors Bay Jetty Restoration
Trust has announced
it signed a contract with HEB
Construction for the much anticipated
rebuild of the jetty.
The trust had already signed a
letter of intent with HEB earlier
this year to allow them to order
some stainless steel fittings and
fixings for the jetty.
“Seventy per cent of this project
cost is upfront, due to the nature
of it but that’s allowed us to also
have a lot cheaper costs then the
council would have been able to
get if they were running it,” said
trust chairwoman Prue Miller.
The city council previously said
it was going to cost $7.8 million to
rebuild, but the trust can rebuild
the jetty for under half that cost.
With timber ordered and a fixedprice
contract signed, the total
project cost is $3.5 million, plus
10 per cent contingency.

WE HAVE a snapshot on the
front page today on one of the
big stepping stones in rugby.
The Miles Toyota Championship
starts in early May
and no doubt the district will
be getting behind the Selwyn
Schools 1st XV that has been
working hard at pre-season
training.
The schools’ championship
is a key springboard in a player’s
career. It is not the be all
and end all; some players don’t
hit their straps until they are
older. But the championship
generally turns out the stars of
the future.
Selwyn also draws players
from Banks Peninsula. Loose
news
forward Hugh Nichols goes
to Akaroa Area School and
has a 122km round trip from
Duvauchelle to Lincoln High
School twice a week for training.
Hopefully, the dedication
will pay off.

Public consultation starts on
coastal hazards plan change
PARTS OF Christchurch and
Banks Peninsula vulnerable to
the impacts of climate change
and sea level rise would have
future development managed
according to their level of risk.
The city council has started
consulting the public on its draft
coastal hazards plan change,
which outlines how it will
manage future development,
subdivision and changes in land
use in areas exposed to coastal
hazards.
“We need to make changes to
our District Plan to avoid new
developments being exposed
to an increased risk of coastal
hazards, such as flooding, erosion,
rising ground water and
tsunami,” said city council general
manager of infrastructure,
planning and regulatory services
Jane Davis.
“The current District Plan does
not define the full extent of areas
at risk of coastal hazards and
only manages some activities in
defined areas.
“These gaps mean we aren’t
effectively managing risks, and
development could occur without
the appropriate mechanisms
in place to minimise harm to
NEW DEVELOPMENT: The proposed coastal hazards plan change recognises risk is not
the same in every location.
PHOTO: NEWSLINE
people and property.”
The proposed plan change,
which has been shaped by community
feedback on an issues
and options paper released last
year, recognises that risk is not
the same in every location. It
enables the city council to be
responsive in how it manages
development within areas of
potential coastal hazards.
Identification of the risk level
in different areas is based on
work by engineering consultancy
Jacobs, with input from the city
council planners and technical
specialists. This work has been
peer-reviewed by consultancy
Beca and draws on data from
an updated coastal hazards
assessment report published last
year.
“We are continuing to refine
the methodology for the riskbased
approach, including enhancing
the mapping. This work
will be done prior to the plan
change being formally notified
later this year,” Davis said.
“Existing communities will
continue to be able to develop
and use land and resources
where the risk of adverse effects
from coastal hazards is not
increased and can be managed to
an acceptable level.”
Have you
seen this
painting?
SUMNER RESIDENT Janet
Abbott is researching the baches
of Taylors Mistake and is trying to
locate this painting by Rita Angus.
“I have written four books
about the baches and I would love
to find this mystery work,” said
Abbott.
The painting is likely to be in a
private collection in the Sumner
Redcliffs area.
It was painted by Angus
(although signed with her
married name Cook) in 1933 and
illustrated in the CSA catalogue.
The painting is looking from
Hobson’s Bay beach south east
towards the far side of Taylors
Mistake. The baches are all identifiable,
but she has moved them
around a bit to suit the picture.

Collector’s hunt for rare bottles
COLLECTOR: Josh Svensson with a rare blue soda syphon
and a Christmas tree oil bottle.
• By Kristie Boland
ONE MAN’S rubbish has turned
out to be another man’s fortune.
Twenty years of digging, hours
of research and a keen eye for the
uniqueness of an old glass bottle
has ensured a comfortable retirement
fund for Josh Svensson.
What started as a competition
among young brothers to find the
best glass bottle turned into a collection
of over a thousand glass
bottles, a lot of which were found
in Lyttelton.
Svensson is an antique glass
bottle collector who specialises in
bottles from Lyttelton.
“Some one called me a hoarder,”
said Svensson.
But with a collection worth
more than $80,000, most would
agree it’s a hobby worth having.
“My brother-in-law used to
collect them in the 80s. One
day when I was 12 he took me
and my brothers out fossicking.
We crawled under an old house
and found some old bottles,”
Svensson SAID.
From then, he was hooked.
“It became a competition between
my brothers and myself of
who can find the coolest bottles,”
he said.
The competition went on for
years. One of Svensson’s brothers
decided to sell up a few years
ago and used the money made
A selection of New Zealand fizzy drink bottles. Known as
the torpedo bottle from the 1850s-1900 ​
from selling his collection to put
towards a deposit on a house.
Svensson is in the lower age
demographic of bottle collectors
in New Zealand, he said there is
about 200-300 across the country,
30 or so in Christchurch.
Before recycling and bottle collection
was a thing, people used
to dig holes in their backyards to
dispose of rubbish they could not
burn, like glass bottles.
“People used to just throw them
away, out of sight out of mind if
they were too lazy to dig a hole,”
said Svensson.
Lyttelton was once home to
multiple different soft drink manufacturers
including brands such
as JF Wyatt, NC Schumacher, and
R Milsom.
The glass bottles were made
in England and filled in New
Zealand.

a corker idea
Svensson has spent hours online
researching old newspapers,
old maps and spent time down at
the museum.
He previously lived in Charteris
Bay where he would jump in
the water at low tide in the mud
flats and hunt for his treasure.
“Often when the boats used
to come in back in the day they
would empty their bottles off the
side into the water, some stuck
around in the mud flats,” he said.
Svensson has a metal probe
that he uses to poke into the
ground and determine if there
is clay or dirt that’s never been
touched,
“If it goes down easy and hits a
glass item you know someone has
dug a hole there before,” he said.
But it’s not just glass bottles
Svensson has found while digging,
he has come across bones,
old false teeth and even a toilet
seat.
“Once we were digging a hole
then eventually realised it might
have been an old long drop, but
thankfully after a hundred odd
years there wasn’t a lot of crap left
there,” said Svensson.
Fossicking for glass bottles was
a popular thing to do back in the
70s Svensson said but there is
now strict rules around it.
“Anything pre-1900s is no go,
it’s an archaeologist’s domain.”
“Often if there’s a new building

site and when diggers are in they
might come across a dumping
site, then you’ve got a limited
opportunity, they’ll give you a
call and they’re often happy to get
a box of beers in return for some
empties,” said Svensson.
There are Facebook groups
where collectors share their
prized collection. Kiwi Auction
has auctions every year online
and also at a national bottle show.
It takes more than just a keen
eye to figure out what bottles
are of value. Some are worth $5,
some $15,000.
“You have to know about it so it
takes years of experience to figure
out what’s what,” Svensson said.
Svensson has about 1000 bottles
in his collection now, he has
found half of them and the other
half he has bought.
During the 20 years he has
been collecting, Svensson added
up he’d spent about 40k on the
collection, the most expensive
being $1000 for a single bottle.
“I see it as an investment. I
enjoy collecting the bottles but
just the history behind it as
well, I’m just a fan of history in
general.”
Svensson worked out last year
his collection is valued at more
than 80k.
“Not bad for a bit of rubbish
aye,” he said.

• From page 1
The jetty was previously owned
by the city council but it has been
closed since a post-earthquake
engineering inspection in 2011
found it was unsafe.
Further assessment in 2014
identified a number of problems
and found rebuilding the jetty
would be more viable than repairs.
The trust took over ownership
of the jetty from the city council
in November 2019 after the city
council decided to sell it to the
trust for $1.
The trust suggested the move
after hearing the city council had
no plans to repair the jetty.
Once it is fixed, the 150-yearold
jetty will be sold back to the
city council for $1.
The trust has now finalised
the full contract with HEB
Construction. Part of the tender
negotiations were that the trust
would purchase the hardwood
timber from Australia directly
which saved on some margin.
The trust is also working with
Martin Thompson at LMA Timber,
a local timber importer.
An order for the piles was
made in a week ago and is due to
arrive in Lyttelton in August.
The expected completion date
is late February next year.
“I live in Governors Bay so its
pretty cool to think this time
next year we’ll be walking on the
jetty and jetty jumping,” Miller
said.
Miller said that if they get all
the planks for the jetty sponsored
then their fundraising will be
complete. Anyone can sponsor a
plank.

• From page 1
The pre-season started back
in November so Nichols has
gone the extra mile already on a
Tuesday and Thursday.
Fortunately he is excused from
the weekly CrossFit session in
Rolleston, with team manager
Maria Daly reckoning the
17-year-old has worked out the
ideal alternative.
“Hugh’s doing a Gateway
programme (transition to work).
He does farm work so that’s as
good as any CrossFit training,”
she said.
The combined team morphed
from Lincoln High School’s 1st
XV, drawing in other schools in
the district with fast-growing
Rolleston College the latest addition
in 2021.
Bringing together such a
widespread playing group obviously
presents challenges,
while a combined team
is already up against it
considering the likes of
Christchurch Boys’ High
School, St Andrew’s College
and Christ’s College
are far better resourced.
“Everyone volunteers,
as opposed to some of the
big rugby schools where
you can pay an ex-All
Black to coach,” Daly said.
Selwyn Schools were 12th in
the 14-team competition last
season as combined teams from
Mid Canterbury and Roncalli
LEADER: Jack Barnes (centre) from Darfield High School
captains the Selwyn Schools 1st XV this season.
Aoraki propped up the table.
Waimea Combined was 10th.
Still, the Selwyn Schools squad
named last week is undeterred
under second
year head coach Tim
Keery, who has 19 new
faces in the squad of
30.
“We’ve been
making sure they’ve
all got to know each
other and the way
country rugby is,
there’s boys at different
schools that actually do know
each other from playing against
each other since they were little,”
Daly said.
“The challenge we face as
Tim Keery
opposed to some of the town
schools is these boys don’t play
rugby together up through the
grades. We come together at 1st
XV level, so there’s no combinations
that have been together for
years.”
Selwyn Schools have an extra
week to prepare after being
granted an opening round bye
when the competition starts on
May 7 because Mid Canterbury
Combined has pulled out. They
kick off against Rangiora High
School a week later.

Dreams into Reality: Our Return
From Linwood High School 1954 to

continues its proud history.
We are farewelling Linwood College at Ōtākaro. We
honour the fact that there has been education on the
Avonside site for 102 years. The final days of our
small contribution to this legacy is now, the end of
term 1.
In term 2 we return to Aldwins Rd and our completely
rebuilt and stunning new school. Te Aratai College
is inspiring from the 650 seat theatre-standard
auditorium to the sunny student centre and the
student-friendly courtyards. Our design is for
personalised student success and reflects the
new name gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Te Aratai
College, Pathway to the Sea.
Reflecting this, our learning and classroom design
is based on responsiveness to the needs of the
students at that moment. We have classrooms of the
standard, time-honoured size but with the flexibility to
open up. This is because there are occasions when
learning can be more open but equally there are times
for some students when this is a learning disaster. Te
Aratai College also has smaller rooms for students
who learn best in reduced, very quiet environments,
and bigger spaces for when learning can be shared
and for larger student gatherings. This deliberate
design assists staff and students to respond to the
many factors that personalise success.
Of course, new buildings alone do not necessarily
improve education. The relationship with the
teacher - he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata -
and the personalisation of learning are the key
for this. However, there is also no doubt that new,
purpose-built buildings and spaces that arise
from these community values of relationships and
personalisation contribute hugely to student success.
This is Te Aratai College.
We look forward to welcoming our community into
their school. Please see our website for information
about tours for our partner primary schools, past
pupils and staff, and other friends.

Ye Olde Inns
IN 1849 Major Alfred
Hornbrook opened a ‘sly grog’
(unlicensed) shop on the site
of the soon to be built Mitre
Hotel in Ōhinehou/Lyttelton;
it became the first pub in
Canterbury and an important
port of call for newly arrived
European settlers.
Although the Mitre escaped
the Great Fire of 1870 which
razed most of the township, just
five years later it was gutted by a
smaller fire.
THe timber building was
rebuilt but was again destroyed
by fire in 1926; as a consequence
its successor was constructed
in more resilient brick and
reinforced concrete. The art deco
influenced building still stands
in its earthquake-damaged state
on the corner of Norwich Quay
and Canterbury St, having been
deemed uneconomic to repair.
That first hotel was closely
followed by many others; in
1852, William Bannister’s advertisement
for the Lyttelton Arms,
Port Victoria (an early name
for the European settlement of
Lyttelton) highlighted the wide
range of alcoholic beverages
available:

Right through the 20th-century,
Lyttelton’s licensed premises
were important social hubs and
places of entertainment and
respite for seamen, wharf and
railway workers and all manner
of people. Each establishment
catered to a slightly different
clientele, especially during the
1951 New Zealand-wide waterfront
dispute which created deep
divisions within Lyttelton’s closeknit
community.

The Boy from Gorge River
From New Zealand’s remotest family to
the world beyond by Chris Long
The story of how an extraordinary childhood shaped an
extraordinary life.
On the West Coast of the South Island, past deep fiords and
snow-capped mountains, Chris Long grew up two days’ hike from
the nearest road. He was born into the country’s most isolated family,
his parents committed to freedom from capitalist society and connection to the
natural world.
In this inspiring memoir, Chris describes a childhood with nature on his doorstep -
helping his father catch crayfish and his mother grow vegetables, playing with toys
crafted from driftwood and jade, and learning to live in the wild - until, in his teenage
years, he began to wonder: could he survive in the wider world?
By the son of the authors of A Life on Gorge River and A Wife on Gorge River, The Boy
from Gorge River is an enthralling account of chasing adventure while forever staying
true to where you come from.
The Diamond Eye
by Kate Quinn
The brand-new historical novel based on a true story from the bestselling author of The
Rose Code and The Alice Network
She’s the war’s most lethal sniper. And the one they least expect…
In the snowbound city of Kiev, aspiring historian Mila Pavlichenko’s life revolves around
her young son – until Hitler’s invasion of Russia changes everything. Suddenly, she and
her friends must take up arms to save their country from the Fuhrer’s destruction.
Handed a rifle, Mila discovers a gift – and months of blood, sweat and tears turn the
young woman into a deadly sniper: the most lethal hunter of Nazis.
Yet success is bittersweet. Mila is torn from the battlefields of the eastern front and sent
to America while the war still rages. There, she finds an unexpected ally in First Lady
Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unexpected promise of a different future.
But when an old enemy from Mila’s past joins forces with a terrifying new foe, she finds
herself in the deadliest duel of her life.
The Diamond Eye is a haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of a mother
who became a soldier, of a woman who found her place in the world and changed the
course of history forever.

Heathcote Valley Mountain Bike Park: Jumping to new heights
JUST FIVE years old, Ethan
Stack sets off on another ride at
the Heathcote Valley Mountain
Bike Park, and with each circuit
his confidence grows.
“THis is
exactly what
this mountain
bike park is
all about”
said Grant
Brokenshire,
the local
resident who
Grant
Brokenshire
came up with
the idea.
“It’s about
getting
people out on their mountain
bikes, building up skills and
confidence, regardless of their
age and ability.”
Go back two years, and New
Zealand was in its first level four
lockdown. Brokenshire and his
teenage boys, all keen mountain
bikers, needed a project.
The idea of a mountain bike
park gained traction with the
Christchurch City Council who
okayed the use of the land, and
then the work really began.
“Two years later, and some
2000+ hours of my time, we now
have a mountain bike park with
jumps, rollers and a pump track,”
Brokenshire said.
We have a small band of hard
workers who have created the
track, and other organisations
like Trees for Canterbury and
the Tui Corridor have donated

Valley Mountain Park.

is one of our three pillars,
as is community
(creating a fun safe
recreational area for
local community) and
progression (improving
mountain biking skills).
The next phase is to
build more all-weather
features including a
1.8m timber mulch
jump, and to continue
surfacing the trails and jumps.
The Sumner Ferrymead
Daniel
O’Carroll
Foundation heard about the
project and decided to make a
contribution.
“Grant’s three pillars
resonated with the goals
of the foundation,”
said Daniel O’Carroll,
secretary of the Sumner
Ferrymead Foundation.
“And we are very keen
to support community
initiatives like this. We
are all about locals helping
locals and Grant epitomises
this as he has made a significant
investment in both time and
money.
“If there are other community
organisations raising funds, they
should go to our website to see
if they meet the criteria for a
Sumner Ferrymead Foundation
grant. And of course, we are
always pleased to receive donations
from locals wanting to
support community initiatives;
the donations can be linked to a
specific project such as the bike
park, or left to the foundation’s
discretion.”
Brokenshire has a track
record of making things
happen, so when he says he
regards this bike park as a pilot,
you know that he has already
turned his mind to another

More housing choice
is the way forward
Population growth, housing issues – including affordability – and climate change
are prompting a re-think of some of Ōtautahi-Christchurch’s planning rules.
Our proposed plan change
We need to build a wider variety of homes,
and more of them, to suit our changing
housing needs.
Belfast
For lower emissions – and future generations
– we must build upwards, particularly in and
around our commercial centres within easy
reach of work, school and the shops.
Where we’ll grow

The proposed Draft Housing and Business Choice
Plan Change creates a number of residential
and commercial zones in the city and enables
more and higher housing to be developed.

Lyttelton is also included because it is part
of the same labour and housing market as

The rest of the bays such as Diamond Harbour,

do not meet the same criteria, and are therefore
not included.

Our growth challenge
Changing the way we do things is challenging but it also brings opportunity.
Our climate is changing, the population is growing and there’s increasing pressure on our infrastructure and environment.
For the sake of future generations, we need to make good decisions now about how and where we grow so our city remains
a great place to live and do business, and that we are well positioned to respond to climate change and population growth.
Indicative illustration only: Medium Density
Residential Standards (3 units and 12 metres max.)
Indicative illustration only: High Density Residential
Zone (20 metres max.)
Indicative illustration only: High Density Residential
and Commercial Zones (20 metres max.)
Growing in the right places
While we must follow the Government’s direction, we’re proposing that
some areas have qualities, known as Qualifying Matters. This means the
rules enabling increased development would not apply, or would be
limited, and development remains subject to resource consent approval.
This could be because of their significant heritage or character value, or
because of specific hazards like rockfall, erosion, tsunami or flooding.
Planning ahead is way smarter
We have the water and wastewater pipes in place for additional housing
in most parts of the city, but there are some areas where we may not have
the capacity to service more homes.
Ōtakaro Avon River
We propose adding a district-wide engineering provision to the District
Plan which will require anyone wanting to develop land to check
water and sewer network capacity with us prior to planning a new
development. Call us on 03 941 8999 or 0800 800 169.
Protecting our trees
We know trees are important to people and they play a vital role in
helping tackle climate change.
We’re working on ways to ensure that new housing development does
not come at the expense of the city’s tree canopy. This includes seeking
Financial Contributions from anyone wishing to develop land and who
does not retain or plant 20 per cent tree canopy cover on a site. We’ll
use these contributions to plant more trees on Council owned land.
We propose further protecting trees by making the list of protected
trees in the current District Plan a Qualifying Matter.
Coastal hazards – preparing for change
We’re already feeling the impacts of climate change. We need to plan now
for the effects of coastal hazards on our communities, infrastructure and
environment, so that we are ready for what we will be facing in the future.
We’re proposing changes, via our Draft Coastal Hazards Plan Change, to
avoid increased risk of harm to people and property from coastal hazards
such as flooding, tsunami, and erosion.
Protecting our Residential Heritage Areas
We want to protect the special heritage in some of our residential areas.
Through a separate Draft Heritage Plan Change we’re proposing to create
11 Residential Heritage Areas, which have buildings and features that
are collectively of significance to Christchurch’s heritage and identity.
This means there will be less intensification enabled than in standard
residential areas.
The plan change also proposes adding around 65 buildings, items and
building interiors to the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage.
What this means for Lyttelton
Through our Draft Heritage Plan Change, we’re proposing Lyttelton
Township be exempt from as much intensification as other residential
areas to protect its significant heritage and identity.
This doesn’t mean you can’t develop residential property. It means you’ll
still need a resource consent for new buildings, additions or alterations
to buildings, fences and walls over 1.5 metres in height, and to demolish
or relocate any building that’s considered ‘most significant’. The Council
will assess all development proposals against how they affect the area’s
heritage values.
Have your say
We welcome your feedback on our Housing and Business Choice,
Coastal Hazards, Heritage and Radio Communication Pathways
draft plan changes from 11 April until 13 May 2022. This will help us
shape the draft changes needed to bring our District Plan in line with
government direction, ahead of formal consultation before 20 August.

WITH MARY IN FAITH
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA
Reflecting on the past, looking toward the future
It has been 40 years since McKillop and St Mary’s
colleges amalgamated to form Marian College on
25th March 1982, and as we reflect on where we’ve
been and where we’re going, one theme stands out -
journey.
This is aptly reflected in the name gifted for our
new school site by the Ngai Tūāhuriri Education
Committee - Māhutonga (Southern Cross). The
Southern Cross is important to Māori as these stars
guided their ancestors across the ocean to Aotearoa.
The choice of this beautiful name reflects the
journey of Marian College from our founding
schools of St Mary’s College and McKillop College
to our new home in Papanui. The Sisters of Mercy
journeyed from Ireland and the Sisters of St Joseph
of the Sacred Heart journeyed across the Tasman
to New Zealand. In more recent times Marian
College has journeyed due to the impact of the 2011
earthquake.
We are excited to complete this journey now, to
our stunning new school where we join the North
Parish, our brother school St Bede’s College and St
Joseph’s Papanui. A beautiful visual symbol of the
journey will be the star pattern on the roof of the
new chapel, representing the constellation from
the night sky of 25th March 1982, the opening day
of Marian.
As we look toward this new future, we also think
about those who have come before. To celebrate 40
years of Marian, we’re inviting past whānau to
send us your photos or share your memories of
your time at Marian (or McKillop and St Mary’s
colleges) through The Marian College Project. Head
to our website for more details.

New School Update
Work on the new school on
Lydia Street is progressing well.
Each month the site is changing
with strengthening of the
building completed and work
on erecting the timber structures
for classrooms due to begin this
month.
The ongoing impact of Covid
on the building industry and
supply chains is expected to have
some impact, but we are looking
forward to being settled into our
new school mid-2023.

Train in Town,
Play in Paradise.
Overlooking Lyttelton Harbour,
Diamond Harbour has long been
renowned for its beauty and views,
and it’s now a message its Rugby
Club is looking to capitalise on,
with the Diamond Harbour Rugby
Club utilising their location wisely
in the search for playing numbers.
Playing at the picturesque Stoddart
Park, Diamond Harbour finds itself an
attractive location for seniors and juniors
alike. That’s why, in its search to help
boost playing numbers and accessibility
to training, the club’s Division 2 side
trains at South Hagley on a Wednesday
night, lending itself to the phrase
“Train in Town, Play in Paradise.”
“It started a few years ago now,”
said Club President Paul Dennis,
“and with Diamond Harbour being
a relatively small community, it
enables the club to prosper and
attract people to our great little club.
“One of the barriers for us is
that people have
the impression that
Diamond Harbour is
too far away, which
can be a good thing
sometimes, but having
the training at Hagley
Park allows players to
access and get involved
with the club.”
Despite only a
handful of the squad
living in Diamond
Harbour, hosting
training in town
tends to suit everyone, with many
of the team working and living near
Christchurch. Dennis is one of those
who permanently reside in Diamond
Harbour but having training on the
way home from work means that he
“For us, this is
focusing on a supportive
environment
and to build
up the comradery
off the field”
- Paul Dennis, Diamond Harbour
RFC Club President
too can get down and be involved
with the Ellesmere Division 2 side.
“Our mission as a club is to remove
the barriers to playing rugby, but
especially for playing for Diamond
Harbour. So, for training, it allows
us to remove the barrier of driving to
Diamond Harbour after work and be
agile as a club to make ourselves a
welcoming destination to play rugby.”
It’s not the only great initiative
being run out of the club, with the
club hosting Halswell Wigram on
the ninth of April in what is hoped to
become an annual pre-season fixture,
with this year’s addition being used to
support the ‘I Am Hope’ charity and
their positive mental health messaging.
“Over the last few years since I
have been President, and even before
that, mental health has been something
that the club’s gravitated towards.
“For us, this is focusing on a
supportive environment and to build up
the comradery off the
field too so that we have
boys that will support
each other through all
sorts of challenges.”
Dennis said.
“We’re going to be
competing for the Fox
Cup with the Halswell
Wigram Battlers. We
played them at the end
of last year and we’re
excited to have it as a
pre-season game this
year. Kerry Hocking
will be refereeing the game this weekend
and he suggested we make the game in
support of the ‘I Am Hope’ foundation.
“Alongside the fundraiser, we’ll
have Ronnie Moore guest speaking
about the cause and of course, the rugby
in what has been a tough time of
late with Covid and the like. This
game allows us to use that vehicle to
connect people and let them know
that they are not alone and there’s
pathways to get the tools to help deal
with any challenges they have got.”
Initiatives such as these all go in to
making Diamond Harbour an attractive
place to play rugby and be involved
with a club, and why wouldn’t it, when
you get to play rugby in paradise.

involved in rugby this winter, visit

A new star in people mover market
WITH THE ever-growing
expansion of the sport utility
vehicle market, you may be
forgiven for thinking the
traditional people mover has
vanished.
Well, you have only got to look
at the number of them on New
Zealand roads, there are Toyota
Previas, Honda Odysseys and Kia
Carnivals everywhere, they are
used for taxis, shuttles and mobile
homes/campervans, to name just a
few of the applications I’ve seen.
Sure, there haven’t been many
entries into that market over the
years, but those companies that
have offered seven and eight-seater
models have been well rewarded.
Of course, you have to take into
account there are many van-based
transporters such as Ford Transits,
Toyota Hiaces and Hyundai iLoads.
Hyundai has taken that
van concept and broadened
it dramatically. The Staria has
arrived and it is space age, not
only in space inside but it is also
a futuristic people mover that has
also arrived in five-seater/van form
and as a van only.
I’m due to evaluate the latter
later, but this evaluations focuses
on the eight-seater, and I can report
that it is far more people-centric
that some of the van-based models
that have long been plying our
roads.
For one, the Staria is plush, its
monocoque chassis is state of the
art, there’s no ladder platform
here, there are no live axles and
the fully independent suspension
system locates four-wheel-drive
componentry. Well, of course not
all models have 4WD, but the
range-topping Limited does and it
represents comfortable, safe travel
– all variants of the Staria have
a five star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program rating.
All variants also get a 2.2-litre
diesel engine. This is significant
because it is an engine that also
powers several other Hyundai
models and, as I’ve alluded to in the
past, it is an absolute gem in terms
of refinement. If you didn’t know
there was a diesel under the bonnet
you’d be hard pressed to pick up its
harmonics.
Not only is it superbly
sophisticated, the turbocharged
twin-camshaft four-potter pumps
out a healthy 130kW (3800rpm)
with a stunning 430Nm of torque
available all of the way from
1500rpm to 2500rpm.
Coupled to an eight-speed
automatic gearbox the Staria’s
driveline is the epitome of advanced
technology, it is powerful, smooth
and silent. As mentioned, in people
mover form drive is channelled
through Hyundai’s H-Trac system.
That means even though the engine
is sitting east-west (transversely)
under the bonnet, drive is passed
through a transfer system to the rear.
It’s a clever system and all
together serves to prove the ability
and ingenuity of the Hyundai
SPACIOUS: The Staria has versatile seating configurations.
HYUNDAI STARIA: People mover or cargo carrier.
engineers, the Staria is a quality
vehicle through and through.
In terms of performance,
unladen the Staria will reach
100km/h from a standstill in 9.2sec
and will make an 80-120km/h
highway overtake in 5.9sec. More
importantly, in this day and age of
out-of-control fuel price hikes the
Staria will return an 8.2-litre per
100km combined cycle figure, that
complemented by a 9.4l/100km
figure showing on the dash panel
readout when I took the evaluation
car back to the dealership. At
100km/h, the display is reading
around an impressive 5l/100km.
On the subject of dash displays,
the Staria has a completely digital
layout, there are traditional
rev counter and speedometer
displays, which change to camera
views when the indicator stalk
is activated. This is a function
Hyundai has incorporated into
many of its vehicles in recent
times, it’s a good safety device and
it’s also rather clever in the way it
operates.
Elsewhere, the dash panel is
vast, there’s a huge central display
that controls many of the vehicle’s
functions and it’s intuitive, the
icons are large and easy to stab.
The Staria people mover isn’t
cheap, it comes in at $85,900
($69,990 front-drive only) which is
quite a bit more pricey than that of
its partner company Kia’s Carnival
at $59,990; and if you take into
account the new Odyssey from
• Price – Hyundai Staria
Limited, $85,990
• Dimensions – Length,
5253mm; width, 1997mm;
height, 1990mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2199cc, 130kW, 430Nm,
eight-speed automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.2sec
• Fuel usage – 8.2/100km
$50k, there is a quite a bit more
up front you have to lay down.
However, you do get a lot of car for
the money and you get a vehicle
that is very adaptable.
Some of the Staria’s biggest
features are things such as twin
electric side sliding doors, electric
rear door with timer, electric
sunroofs, keyless entry and
ignition, satellite navigation, full
leather trim, heated and cooled
front seats, heated steering wheel,
paddle-shifters and something
I really like, and those hard
of hearing will relate to, is the
microphone and speaker system
that allows those front and rear to
converse.
Another thing that does stand
out is the Staria’s size, it’s over 5.2m
long and is high at almost 2m. The
latter means it’s a bit of a step up for
the driver and front seat passenger.
It’s easier to access the rear seats but
if you are climbing in and out each
day that could trouble those who
have a developing hip problem, like
we all seem to get through old age.
A grab handle on the driver’s side
would help, but the Staria doesn’t
get that.
Nevertheless, the Staria is still a
very user-friendly car and nothing
will change that, it is built to satisfy
the needs of those who transport
people on a daily basis, it will do
that for years on end and provide a
nice driving experience at the same
time. It is far more car-like to drive
than van-like, and with the high
driving position vision through all
quarters is outstanding.
It also handles well for its bulk,
sure there’s over two-tonne to
get through a corner, but it steers
lightly and feels very manoeuvrable
through a turning circle of just
under 12m.
I can see the very stylish Staria
appealing to those in the shuttle
industry when airline travel returns
to full steam. Its driveline is well
proven and I strongly suspect its
four-wheel-drive system would also
be useful taking a load of skiers up
the Mt Hutt access road.
I’m actually looking forward to
driving the van equivalent soon,
I’m not expecting quite the same
luxury inside, but I do know the
driveline will deliver the same
refinement, and I have some tasks
lined up for it, the kind of everyday
jobs that can be completed when
you have a spacious cargo area on
offer.

14 – DRAFT HOUSING AND BUSINESS CHOICE
PLAN CHANGE
15 – DRAFT RADIO COMMUNICATIONS PATHWAYS
PLAN CHANGE
Our population is growing and we’re planning for that now.
We’ve been given direction by central government to enable
more houses to be built upwards and in our city’s existing urban
footprint.
We need to make changes to our District Plan to comply with
the National Policy Statement on Urban Development and the
Resource Management (Enabling Housing Supply and Other
Matters) Amendment Act and would like feedback on what we are
proposing.
What are we proposing?
PC12 Draft Coastal Hazards Plan Change
We need to avoid increasing the risk of harm to people and
property from coastal hazards including flooding, tsunami,
and erosion. We are proposing to do this by taking a risk based
approach to the management of development, subdivision and
land use in areas exposed to coastal hazards. Changes to the
District Plan will give effect to the New Zealand Coastal Policy
Statement and the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement.
PC13 Draft Heritage Plan Change
We are proposing that 11 new residential heritage areas across the
city be identified for protection in the District Plan to recognise
Christchurch’s special heritage and identity and adding around
65 buildings, items and building interiors to the Schedule of
Significant Historic Heritage.
PC14 Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change
To bring our District Plan in line with government direction that has
been given via the National Policy Statement-Urban Development
(NPS-UD) and the Resource Management (Enabling Housing
Supply) Amendment Act to enable more development in the city’s
existing urban footprint.
PC15 Draft Radio Communication Pathways
We need to protect airspace used for emergency radio
communications by stopping development that blocks it.

writing or electronically.

Feedback must be received before 5pm on Friday 13 May 2022.
We welcome feedback as this helps us ensure we haven’t missed
something as we prepare for more formal consultation. We are
looking to publicly notify these Plan Changes by 20 August 2022,
which will give a further opportunity for people affected by the
proposed draft change, or anyone who has on opinion on it, to
make a formal submission for or against the proposal.
