Sumner among traffic 

infringement hot spots 

ENFORCEMENT of 40km/h 

zones in residential areas has 

ramped up through police patrols 

and speed camera use, with 

Sumner figuring prominently 

among the city’s top-five 

locations for traffic infringements 

over a three-year period. 

Police data from 2019 to 2021 

revealed Nayland and Colenso 

Sts rank second and fourth 

respectively, while Te Korari St in 

Marshland leads the standings. 

During that time frame the 

number of tickets issued for 

speeding in the vicinity of a 

school has increased, although 

not as significantly as the incidences 

of speeding detected on 

suburban streets. 

There were 188 speeding tickets 

issued in the vicinity of schools 

in 2019, followed by 201 in 2020 

and 241 last year. 

The number of tickets issued 

after speeding was detected 

by mobile speed cameras has 

increased markedly from 224 in 

2019 to 1181 last year. 

The other top-five streets are 

Halswell’s Richmond Ave and 

Murphys Rd. 

Halswell was the most likely

Meanwhile, the city council is

intersections: Manchester St/

IF YOU have been going a 

bit quick through Nayland 

and Colenso Sts in Sumner, 

chances are you’ve been hit 

with a ticket. 

Depending on how fast you 

were going in those 40km/h 

zones would have determined 

how much you were fined. 

On page 1 today, we reveal 

Christchurch’s top-five locations 

for traffic infringements 

from 2019-2021 in 40km/h 

zones in residential areas. 

The two Sumner streets 

were ranked second and 

fourth respectively. 

A street in Marshland took 

top billing. 

These slower zones are 

news 

there for a reason and usually 

it is because there is a school 

on the street. 

So it’s a no-brainer to take 

it easy on the accelerator.

Plan hatched to improve rifleman’s 

breeding chances on peninsula 

NEW ZEALAND’S 

smallest bird is getting new 

accommodation on Banks 

Peninsula in a bid to improve its 

chances of breeding successfully. 

Titipounamu/rifleman are 

rarely seen on the peninsula 

because they prefer to take cover 

in mature forest and mānuka/ 

kānuka scrub, but a plan has 

been hatched to help boost their 

numbers in the area. 

Titipounamu (Acanthisitta 

chloris) is native to New Zealand. 

The males weigh just six grams 

and females weigh seven grams. 

They are one of only two species 

left of the New Zealand wren 

family. 

The city council, Refuge Ecology 

and the Banks Peninsula 

Conservation Trust have been 

installing predator-proof nesting 

boxes for the birds in suitable 

habitat. 

The nest boxes provide a safe 

nesting space in the absence of 

mature trees. 

Recent sightings of titipounamu 

in Aylmers Valley, 

above Akaroa, have led to the 

installation of nest boxes there. 

Observations of titipounamu 

have also been recorded in 

Robinsons Bay, Panama Reserve, 

Hinewai and Le Bons Bay. 

“We are seeking sightings 

of titipounamu from local 

residents and visitors to Banks 

Peninsula so that we can better 

understand their distribution,” 

said city council ranger Hannah 

Murdoch, who is leading the 

project. 

“If you have spotted titipounamu 

please record the 

sighting on iNaturalist or email 

alison.evans@ccc.govt.nz with 

the details of where you saw the 

bird and when. If you can supply 

GPS co-ordinates that will greatly 

assist us. 

“You are most likely to see 

titipounamu flitting up and 

down trees, feeding on insects 

and spiders. They are distinctive 

from other birds, due to their 

small size and tiny tail.’’ 

The male has an olive green 

colour on its back, while the 

female is slightly different in 

colour with yellow and dark 

speckles on its back. 

They are easily mistaken for 

riroriro/grey warblers or tauhou/ 

silvereyes, although these birds 

have longer tail feathers and different 

colours than titipounamu. 

The call of titipounamu is highpitched 

and reaches a frequency 

that is inaudible to some people. 

Murdoch said the titipounamu 

population will be closely 

monitored and the team plans 

to work in collaboration with 

Pest Free Banks Peninsula to 

ACCOMMODATION: 

Nesting boxes for the

Peninsula.

HANNAH MURDOCH 

eliminate predators that might 

threaten the tiny birds’ chances 

of survival. 

“Titipounamu are threatened 

by predation from introduced 

mammals like rats and stoats so 

we’re hoping to get volunteers 

involved in trapping efforts. 

People wanting to help protect 

native wildlife by trapping in 

their own backyard can borrow 

traps from either the Akaroa 

Trap Library or the Little River 

Trap Library,’’ she said.

Community input sought into roadwork 

options for last phase of Coastal Pathway 

WORK ON the Coastal Pathway 

appears to be stuck between a 

rock and a hard place. 

And now contractors want 

people in Sumner and Redcliffs 

to let them know how they 

would like the work carried out. 

Construction of the pathway 

has entered its final phase, but 

the city council said on Monday 

it has reached “a tricky stage” 

with contractors Fulton Hogan 

busy completing the section 

between the eastern end of Redcliffs 

Village and Shag Rock. 

“Work 

is going 

smoothly, but 

Fulton Hogan 

have reached 

a 110-metre 

stretch that’s 

too narrow to 

Lynette Ellis 

maintain both 

the worksite 

and two lanes 

of traffic,” said city council head 

of transport and waste management 

Lynette Ellis. 

“Fulton Hogan has developed 

two different approaches to how 

they can complete this section, 

and they want to find out which 

option the community would 

prefer. They particularly want 

OPINION: The city council is asking people in Sumner and Redcliffs for feedback on 

construction options for the Coastal Pathway. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

the feedback of those who live in, 

or commute through, the Sumner/Redcliffs 

area, as they will be 

the most affected.” 

Option one would see work 

completed at night between 

8pm–6am, Sunday to Thursday. 

HIKING BOOTS 

& SHOES 

This would mean two lanes of 

traffic can be maintained during 

the day. The work would be able 

to be completed in six weeks but 

there could be noise at night for 

nearby residents. 

Option two would see the 

work done in two shifts each 

weekday. The first shift would 

operate from 9.30am to 2.30pm 

and the second shift from 6pm to 

11pm. Traffic would be reduced 

to one lane during each shift. 

However, outside of shift hours, 

the road would be reinstated to 

two lanes for peak traffic. 

This option would mean quieter 

nights for residents but delays 

of up to 15 minutes for road users 

when the road was operating 

with one lane only. The work is 

also likely to take twice as long to 

complete – 12 weeks as opposed 

to six weeks under option one. 

“Each option has its pros and 

cons, and the people who will be 

living with it will be able to indicate 

which one they’d prefer,” 

Ellis said. 

“We recognise this work is 

having an impact on a wide 

group of people, and we apologise 

for any inconvenience.” 

Fulton Hogan hopes to have a 

plan in place and work underway 

by mid May. 

Once complete, the pathway 

will stretch 6.5km from the Ferrymead 

Bridge to Scarborough 

Beach, and allow people to enjoy 

walking, cycling, scooting or 

skating safely off-road along the 

coast. 

Residents who would like 

more information can contact 

the Fulton Hogan team via 

0800 ROADFH or cant.info@

in-person meeting.

Treated wastewater could go on golf course 

THE CITY council will consult 

the community next month 

on two options for disposing 

of treated wastewater from 

Duvauchelle, it was decided at a 

Three Waters infrastructure and 

environment committee meeting 

last week. 

The treated 

wastewater 

is currently 

discharged 

into Akaroa 

Harbour, but 

the council’s 

consent to do 

Helen 

Beaumont 

this will expire 

in 2023. It is a 

condition of 

consent that the 

council explores all feasible alternatives 

to sending treated wastewater 

to the harbour – a practice 

deeply offensive to Māori. 

City council head of Three 

Waters Helen Beaumont said 

finding a land-based alternative 

was crucial. 

“Our planning and policy 

framework under the Resource 

Management Act is very clear,” 

she said. 

“Discharging treated wastewater 

to water is not considered 

sustainable management if there 

are feasible land-based alternatives. 

“These alternatives exist, so 

we’re not including a new harbour 

outfall as an option to take 

forward – we know it would be 

highly unlikely to get a consent.” 

Twelve alternatives were 

identified and in discussion with 

those who stood to be most affected, 

including Ngāi Tahu, they 

were gradually whittled down to 

two options. 

Both options for consultation 

involve using treated wastewater 

to irrigate the Akaroa golf 

course, which is at Duvauchelle. 

The council owns the golf course 

land and it is leased to the 

Akaroa Golf Club. 


OPTIONS: The city council will consult the community on ways of disposing of treated 

wastewater from Duvauchelle. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

“The golf course is really the 

only area in Duvauchelle big 

enough to take the amount of 

treated wastewater we have,” said 

Beaumont. 

In one option the golf course 

tees, greens and fairways would 

be spray irrigated in summer, a 

beneficial reuse of wastewater, 

with the planted course margins 

and upslope tree areas being drip 

irrigated in winter. 

This would require a higher 

level of treatment for the 

wastewater to bring it up to the 

standard required for spray 

irrigation, so would include a 

major upgrade to the treatment 

plant. 

This option would cost around 

$13 million and would allow 

for any future growth in the 

Duvauchelle area. 

Council staff identified this as 

the preferred option. 

In the second option the 

planted areas, course margins 

and upslope tree areas of the golf 

course would be drip irrigated 

year-round. 


NEWS 7 

This would not be enough area 

on its own to use up the treated 

wastewater so another property 

would need to be bought or 

leased for irrigation to native 

trees. 

This option would cost 

around $9 million (plus land). 

It is less expensive because the 

wastewater would not require 

such a high level of treatment, 

meaning the treatment plant 

would need only a minor 

upgrade, and there would be no 

need for the pipe and drainage 

work necessary for the first 

option. The second option may 

not allow for future growth. 

“The team has done a great job 

identifying and investigating all 

feasible options, and in keeping 

the golf club, Ngāi Tahu and 

other nearby interest groups 

informed along the way,” said 

Beaumont. “It has taken about 12 

years to get us all to this point, so 

it’s no small feat.” 

The golf club and Ngāi Tahu 

support the chosen options for 

consultation as the best two to 

consider. 

“Some of the options 

considered involved reducing 

the golf course to 12 holes, or 

losing it altogether, so the club is 

pleased that both these options 

retain an 18-hole course,” 

Beaumont said. 

Consultation will be held 

throughout May.

The cameras will be the first

Island to issue tickets, and 

will be operational from next 

Thursday. 

Over the last five-year period 

to December 31, 2021 there 

had been two serious injury

At Manchester/Pilgrim/

GAP: Sharks’ Dan ‘Dugong’ Reid charging through the middle. 

Sumner Sharks on 

the hunt for players 

The Sumner Sharks are a 

rugby institution, and they 

are looking for new players. 

Andrea Heffernan reports 

IT ALL started back in 1988 when Greg 

Digby (Digger) bumped into his old 

maths teacher at the Cave Rock Hotel. 

His teacher told him Sumner had a social 

rugby team. 

Several years later, the Sharks morphed 

from a group of like-minded players who 

enjoyed playing and socialising together to 

a cohesive side. 

Thirty-four years later, the Sharks are 

in their 27th season. A handful of the 

guys are still there from the old days, with 

Digger the coach and manager. 

As part of the classics division – 

formerly 4th grade – they put together a 

team on the day. 

Camaraderie and family are two key elements 

that bind the team together. Players 

like the chance to play a bit of footy, but 

without the full-on commitment, as most 

have work, families and other priorities. 

The Sharks played a pre-season ‘friendly’ 

against the Linwood Bollocks before 

Easter, with the Sharks wining the close 

game in the last minute 20-14. 

“It’s all about fun, the banter and 

camaraderie. We put on a BBQ after a 

home game for the opposition and their 

families. We are always welcomed to the 

opposition’s after match function,” said 

Digby. 

“We have some good young fellas coming 

through. We are a diverse bunch, with 

ages ranging from early 20s to mid 50s. 

We are more like country club rugby.” 

He said the players come from all over 

town, drawn to “the Sumner club vibe”. 

Digger’s passion for the game has 

flowed on to his two daughters, who both 

played through the grades from under 6 

to the under-16 girls’ grade, introduced 

four years ago. They went on to play for 

Canterbury in the under-18 women’s team 

and now play for senior university teams. 

The season for the Sharks starts on 23 

April and they are recruiting new players.

Trees are a lifetime investment. The 

trees that surround your home fortify 

your refuge from the world. Your 

home is your haven, and we want to 

ensure that it remains that way. Caring 

for your trees starts with correct 

pruning, removal is the last resort. 

Trees are pruned or trimmed for 

several tree care reasons. Professional, 

experienced Arborists can improve 

tree health, tree structure, and add 

light, space, and beauty to your 

beloved trees with correct pruning. 

Pruning a little and often is the way 

to gently guide your tree to a happy, 

prosperous life. There are several 

different pruning techniques to get the 

most out of your trees. 

Canopy lifting involves the removal 

of lower canopy branches to provide 

clearance for buildings, vehicles, 

pedestrians, to enhance views and 

increase light. This is a great alternative 

to removal to retain your tree assets 

and reap the benefits of mature trees 

on your property. 

Thinning increases light penetration 

and air movement through the crown. 

It also opens the foliage of a tree, 

reduces weight on heavy limbs, and 

helps retain the tree’s natural shape. 

This decreases the chances of disease 

and can prolong the life of the tree. 

New hedges should be trimmed 

from an early stage to establish a 

shape and prevent leggy, unsightly 

growth. The amount you prune back 

will depend on the type of hedge. 

Once the hedge is established, regular 

maintenance will ensure it remains 

healthy and has a great appearance. 

Vista management is managing 

Before 

After 

your vegetation to optimising and 

frame your view with properly 

pruned vegetation. Healthy trees can 

offer many benefits to your property 

including adding to the market value 

of a property as well as privacy. 

However, as they become larger, 

they can obscure a desirable view. 

Some of the most beautiful views in 

New Zealand can be found on Banks 

Peninsula. Attempting to maintain 

these views is one of the main reasons 

people cut or top trees, which can 

cause bigger problems than they solve. 

Our passionate team has the 

experience to work as quickly and as 

safely as possible. We can perform all 

aspects of arboricultural care for your 

trees.

ANZAC DAY 

MONDAY APRIL 25, 2022 

Remembering our Anzacs 

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of 

the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces 

of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post 

sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep 

solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes 

to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its 

popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service 

continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of 

remembrance.”

Friday 24th of April 

Saturday 25th of April 

Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by communities 

throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have 

served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the 

acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first 

used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known 

as ‘the Anzacs’. 

Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies – 

one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli 

by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later 

in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally 

begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel 

followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans, 

proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local 

cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service 

with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post 

played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share 

memories and catch up with friends and neighbours. 

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the 

anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the 

Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New 

Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and 

women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became 

an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday 

where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day. 

Symbol of remembrance 

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope 

all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice 

Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn 

on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, 

where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped 

relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version 

of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned 

Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac 

Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local 

communities. 

‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.’

Having an impact 

Sumner lawyer Alex Summerlee says trust and integrity has always been an important 

part of the law and they’re attributes clients are seeking now more than ever. 

Alex has recently been appointed as a partner 

at Parry Field Lawyers and specialises in civil 

litigation and dispute resolution. He has 

experience resolving complex legal for clients in 

and outside of the Courts. 

He says there’s no better time for a focus 

on client advocacy. “Working in this area of 

litigation or disputes you come across people 

who are dealing with what will be one of the most 

stressful challenges they face in life. It is a real 

privilege to be trusted by clients to advise them 

on the best way through those challenges.” 

He says every case has its own nuances and it’s 

an aspect of his role that he finds most satisfying. 

“One of the joys of the job is that there is rarely 

a dull moment – you’re always learning. The 

endless variety of disputes that people can face 

means that each case has something new to teach 

you about human nature.” 

Alex has represented clients at all levels of the 

Courts of New Zealand. He is currently acting on 

files ranging from judicial reviews of government 

regulations, to claims against insurers; from 

construction defects and inheritance disputes, to 

international custody litigation. 

He’s active in our local community, sitting on 

the Board of Proprietors of St Mark’s School, 

and holding office as the Vice Chancellor to the 

Anglican Bishop of Christchurch. 

He’s one of three new partners announced this 

week by Parry Field Lawyers and says he’s excited 

to be joining the partnership because of all it 

represents. 

“How this firm is carried does not just affect 

our staff and clients; that in turn also impacts on 

families and each of our communities –as new 

partners we will now have a part in ensuring that 

Parry Field continues to deliver excellent legal 

representation, and continues to play its part in 

our community.” 

As long as he’s in practice, Alex says he can’t 

imagine practising anywhere else. 

“It’s a combination of working at a place that 

is as interested in your personal development as 

it is in your professional development. It doesn’t 

compromise on excellence in legal services but 

also demands high levels of personal integrity. 

It’s just a very satisfying and enjoyable place to 

work.” 

Alex has lived most of life east of the 

Ferrymead Bridge, but largely works out of Parry 

Field’s Riccarton offices.

NEWS 

ON JANUARY 26, 1888, the iron 

barque May Queen rounded 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour 

heads, inbound for the port 

and sailing into a gusting 

south-westerly. 

With Master G. Colville at the 

helm, she’d left London some 91 

days earlier on October 26, 1887, 

with 733 tons of general cargo 

plus 15 tons of blasting powder, 

worth a total of £22,000. 

This was not her first voyage to 

the Australasian colonies but as 

the fates would have it, it was to 

be her last. 

Launched in May of 1869, the 

May Queen was built by A Hall 

and Company at the Aberdeen 

shipyards. Carvel planked on an 

iron frame and at 781 gross tonnage, 

this beautiful three-mast, 

two-deck barque was 54.4m 

long, with a beam of 9.5m, and a 

5.8m draught. 

For almost two decades she’d 

sailed the trade and passenger 

routes between Great Britain and 

her majesty’s southern colonies, 

being a frequent visitor to South 

Island and North Island ports. 

On this fateful day in question, 

the paddle tug Lyttelton met 

the May Queen just outside the 

heads. 

Pilot Lewin came on board to 

guide her into her first port of 

call, which was to be the explosives 

anchorage at Te Pohue 

Camp Bay, before off-loading the 

rest of the cargo at Lyttelton. 

The tug would usually assist 

in towage but unfortunately on 

this day she was also employed 

in delivering the mail around 

the peninsula bays, and it was 

decided she should continue on 

her way. 

Battling the south-westerly 

squalls, pilot Lewin brought the 

ship in close to shore when the 

winds suddenly dropped off and 

she missed her stays, running 

aground onto the rocks by the 

Red Rock cliffs, just east of Camp 

Bay, at high tide. 

On returning from her mail 

run, the tug Lyttelton attempted 

to tow the May Queen off the 

rocks but failed with the falling 

tide, and the following day she

broke her back with the pumps 

going through the deck. 

An emergency salvage operation 

led by stevedores JJ Kinsey 

managed to save about 350 tons 

of cargo plus the ship’s fittings, 

which were then put to auction. 

The ship went for £275 to Messrs 

Wood and Sinclair and the cargo, 

previously valued at £22,000, 

sold for £1000 to a stevedore of 

Port Chalmers, J Mills. 

Within the week, the May 

Queen sank further off the rocks 

before what was left of the hull 

finally settled into the harbour 

waters at about 7m deep where 

she remains to this day. 

A Court of Inquiry was called 

on February 1, 1888, and found

pilot Lewin at fault. 

However, his tickets were 

returned to him with the magistrates 

also sternly rebuking 

the Lyttelton Harbour Board 

for its diversion of the tug away 

from its towage duties, stating: 

“We consider that as long as the 

harbour board assumes control 

of tug vessels in the harbour they 

should be so employed and not 

diverted from the purpose from 

which they were intended by 

engagement as mail carriers.” 

The 1888 wreck of the May 

Queen remains Whakaraupō 

Lyttelton Harbour’s only major 

shipping disaster. Various items 

from her fittings eventually 

found their way into Te Ūaka 

The Lyttelton Museum’s collection. 

These include a rather 

flamboyant red velvet settee previously 

owned by Captain Albert 

Anderson and then donated to 

Baden Norris Sr, a mahogany 

sideboard, as well as the ship’s 

bell inscribed ‘May Queen 1869 

Aberdeen’.

taking views across Christchurch. 

On entry to the home, you are lead through 

a spacious entry and hallway to an open plan 

dining and living area which features a modern 

and stylish kitchen with large bench and 

breakfast bar area. The kitchen's features 

include gas cooking and modern appliances 

along with plenty of storage, including a 

walk-in butler's pantry. There's room to dine 

and live on this level, plus there is also a 

separate spacious downstairs lounge, which 

has wonderful built in cabinetry at one end, 

a cosy gas fire and at the other end of the 

lounge, bifold doors which fold back the 

width of the room and open to a low

bedrooms all with built in wardrobing and a 

spacious fully tiled bathroom, with a large 

walk-in shower, vanity and bath plus a 

separate toilet.

enjoy the views and the surrounding sizeable 

1758sqm section. There's plenty of flat 

spaces and it's well fenced to keep the 

current owner's dogs secure, or if you're 

likeminded with the neighbour, you might 

be able to plant your own vineyard! 

The property has drive on access to a single 

garage with room to park two vehicles off the

Toyota Camry goes all hybrid 

ALONGSIDE Corolla, Camry is 

one of Toyota’s most successful 

global nameplates. 

As a badge, it has been around 

since the early 80s, its sedan and 

wagon body style drawing a wide 

cross-section of buyers from both 

the business and private sector. 

In recent years the Camry for 

the New Zealand market has 

been available as a 2.5-litre petrol 

model, with much the same 

engine aligned to Toyota’s Hybrid 

Synergy Drive system and, of 

course, the powerful V6 variant 

that later morphed into Aurion. 

Over the years the Camry has 

been available with a multitude of 

specification options, at one point 

there were eight Camry variants 

on offer here. 

Today, and sadly a reflection 

of buying trends that favour 

sport utility vehicles against the 

tradition of sedans, the Camry 

is available here with just three 

specification options. The most 

dramatic change within the series 

is that it is now only available with 

the hybrid driveline, which is a 

way of lowering carbon emissions. 

I like sedans, I like the Camry 

as a concept, and if there was 

a hybrid in the Kiddie-family 

car buying future, it would be 

difficult not to choose a Camry, 

it’s long been my favourite hybrid. 

Saying that, of course, the same 

2.5-litre hybrid driveline powers 

other Toyota and Lexus models. 

For 2022, the Camry here 

has had bit of a facelift and a 

SLEEK: The Toyota Camry sits low and long. 

realignment, there is more bling 

in the model, and the body 

style has had enhancements. 

Depending on the variant, 

there is a new grille, bumper 

and wheels. Plus, there is more 

emphasis in differentiation 

between variants. The changes 

come at a very opportune time, 

the Camry qualifies for the 

Government’s low emission 

rebate scheme, depending on 

the variant a buyer can recoup 

between $2748 and $3160. 

The Camry hybrid lists from 

$43,990, the test car was the 

high-spec leather-trimmed ZR 

model at $52,490, while a sporty 

SX version sits in-between at 

$48,490. I’m due to drive the 

latter soon, and that would 

probably be the specification I 

would look for, its sport tuned 

suspension and 19in wheels make 

it enticing. 

However, the ZR model is 

there for those who like the feel 

of luxury, and it’s fair to say in 

top-spec form the Camry borders 

on the luxury car market, it is 

plush, it has all the fitment and 

features Toyota has in its bag of 

goodies, and it is a wonderfully 

comfortable car to drive and to 

ride in. Space is plentiful, the rear 

seat occupants can stretch their 

legs, while shoulder and head 

room is in abundance. 

Column space doesn’t allow 

for comprehensive detailing, but 

major items fitted for comfort 

and convenience amount to 

TOYOTA CAMRY ZR: Borders on the luxury car market. 

satellite navigation, head-up 

display, electrically adjustable 

front seats that have heating and 

cooling, electrically adjustable 

steering column, electric 

panoramic sunroof and steering 

wheel-mounted paddle shifters. 

Of course, the Camry also gets 

a five-star Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program rating, it 

has all of the electronic functions 

that make up the Toyota Safety 

Sense suite of kit. 

Under the bonnet sits a fourcylinder 

engine. Toyota rates it 

with a petrol/electric combined 

total of 160kW and 213Nm, 

with those healthy figures it is 

a powerful unit, it is lively and 

feels very torquey. As such, it 

feels very normal to drive, of 

course it wants to drive in electric 

mode all of the time, but such are 

the throttle demands that can’t 

realistically happen. 

The driver is always fully aware 

of what is happening in terms 

of propulsion, there are a raft of 

gauges and displays to let you know 

about the hybrid operation, and 

if you are astute you can feel the 

engine cutting in and out, but if 

you don’t take any of that on-board, 

you could be forgiven for thinking 

that you are driving a standard 

petrol-engined 2.5-litre car. 

Performance is strong and 

the Camry hybrid is quick – a 

standstill to 100km/h time of 

• Price – Toyota Camry ZR 

hybrid, $52,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4905mm; width, 1840mm; 

height, 1445mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

2498cc, 160kW, 

213Nm, continuously 

variable automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.1sec 

• Fuel usage – 4.2/100km 

8.1sec is on offer and it will 

scamper through a highway 

overtake in 6.9sec (80-120km/h). 

But the figures that are most 

important are those of fuel usage. 

Toyota rates the hybrid system 

with a best possible 4.2-litre per 

100km combined cycle average. 

At the end of a week with the 

test car I returned it to the 

dealership showing an average of 

6.4l/100km. 

These are good figures for a big 

car, and particularly for one that 

weighs in at over 1.5-tonne. It must 

also be said I commuted daily into 

the city centre and that type of 

stop-start travel isn’t good for fuel 

economy. I also drove the Camry 

briskly during testing time, it feels 

strong beneath the accelerator and 

has handling to match. 

In a corner the Camry hybrid 

stays flat, at just 1.44m tall there 

is little gravitational change, nor 

body movement. High quality 

Bridgestone Turanza tyres are 

fitted, at 235/45 x 18in they offer 

high grip levels and provide solid 

information to the steering wheel. 

Turn-in is direct, while suspension 

movement easily arrests midcorner 

bumps and deviations. The 

spring and damper rates are well 

engineered for the rough nature of 

Canterbury’s roads, providing the 

comfort levels we all expect from 

a big car. 

The Camry also has one of the 

biggest load spaces for a sedan 

that I can recall in recent times, 

even in hybrid form the boot 

space is cavernous. 

It’s no wonder, then, that 

Camry has been a taxi favourite 

over the years. Toyota has 

addressed that need, the entrylevel 

model will fill that role well, 

but what it has also done well is 

making the Camry desirable for 

those who don’t want to plunge 

into the SUV market. There are 

plenty of people like me who 

like sedans, and Camry hybrid 

will lure many who feel like they 

are doing something for the 

environment but want a bigger 

hybrid than Prius. 

At the same time, any Camry 

buyer will know it has the benefit 

of a hybrid system that has been 

well proven and has Toyota’s 

three-year/100,000km warranty.
