Residents sick of disruption<br />

from shipping container site<br />

• By Tina Grumball<br />

A HIGH-PROFILE property<br />

developer is the owner of an<br />

industrial site at the centre of a<br />

prolonged conflict with nearby<br />

residents.<br />

Across the Ōpāwaho Heathcote<br />

River, home-owners have<br />

suffered dust, constant noise,<br />

and the obstruction of their Port<br />

Hills views from the Woolston<br />

site.<br />

“You’re talking<br />

about people’s lives<br />

being disrupted<br />

for a considerable<br />

period of time,”<br />

said Linwood Ward<br />

Yani<br />

Johanson<br />

councillor Yani<br />

Johanson.<br />

“It’s not fair on<br />

the local community that this<br />

kind of activity is allowed to<br />

occur, unfettered and unabated,<br />

in my view.”<br />

Christchurch property<br />

developer Richard Peebles,<br />

and Peebles Group Ltd, own<br />

the site. Peebles also co-owns<br />

Riverside Market and Little<br />

High Eatery.<br />

The area being developed<br />

is the last 12ha of the overall<br />

industrial area to be completed,<br />

Peebles said.<br />

“Peebles Group Ltd take our<br />

responsibilities very seriously<br />

and have planned mitigation<br />

measures to reduce the impact<br />

on surrounding neighbours.”<br />

While the construction<br />

on-site has been occurring<br />

for nearly two years, concerns<br />

of shipping container storage<br />

were first raised at the Waikura<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board meeting on<br />

March 16.<br />

In spite of concerns, the containers<br />

were placed on the site in<br />

early July.<br />

“We could hear them compacting<br />

the area down, which<br />

was shaking out houses and<br />

rattling windows and all sorts<br />

of things,” Gould Cres resident<br />

Susan Jones said.<br />

McAra returns to Stoddart Cottage<br />

DON MCARA returns to Stoddart<br />

Cottage gallery in October with an<br />

exploration of structures sculpted<br />

from the materials and contours<br />

of local landscapes. Evoked in oils<br />

and watercolours, much of the work<br />

exhibited in Structures and Reflections<br />

has a maritime theme, often set<br />

around or near to Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>,<br />

embracing both contemporary and<br />

past, pre-earthquake vistas.<br />

“Shipping has always fascinated<br />

me,” said McAra, whose last exhibition<br />

at Stoddart Cottage proved its<br />

most popular on record. “Amongst<br />

many of the Lyttelton works on show<br />

in this exhibition, a more up-to-date<br />

representation of Lyttelton shipping is<br />

The Shipping News, based on a photo I<br />

took earlier this year.”<br />

Don McAra is an award-winning<br />

painter known primarily as a<br />

representational landscape artist,<br />

painting en plein air and in the studio.<br />

After teaching art, for the last 35<br />

years he has been working full-time<br />

treasures from the past<br />

as a professional artist. Initially training<br />

at Dunedin Technical College<br />

School of Art, McAra went on to<br />

study watercolours under H.V. Miller,<br />

and life painting with Doris Lusk.<br />

This year Don was selected by Watercolour<br />

New Zealand to show his<br />

work in an international exhibition in<br />

Perth Australia.<br />

Structures and Reflections is at<br />

Stoddart Cottage from October 7-30.<br />

The opening is on Saturday, October<br />

8 from 3-5pm.<br />

Turner to manage Rod Donald trust<br />

A FAMILIAR face in Lyttelton<br />

will be gone from local body<br />

politics after next week’s<br />

elections.<br />

Andrew Turner, Banks Peninsula’s<br />

city councillor since 2013<br />

and deputy mayor for the past<br />

six, announced early this year he<br />

would not run again.<br />

Last week, he revealed a new<br />

challenge, becoming the manager<br />

of the Rod Donald Banks<br />

Peninsula Trust, replacing the<br />

retired Suky Thompson.<br />

Turner said he was looking<br />

forward to a life with greater<br />

freedom and flexibility.<br />

“One of the things I’ve enjoyed<br />

about being deputy mayor is<br />

the breadth and huge variety of<br />

work. There is a large amount of<br />

responsibility on the one hand,<br />

but also the opportunity to get<br />

out and see everything that happens<br />

in all the different corners<br />

of our city,” he said.<br />

Turner entered office shortly<br />

after the <strong>September</strong> 4, 2010,<br />

earthquake as a member of the<br />

Lyttelton Mt Herbert Community<br />

Board. He served three years<br />

on the board before being elected<br />

as the Banks Peninsula Ward<br />

city councillor in 2013.<br />

In 2016 he stood unopposed<br />

and was appointed deputy mayor<br />

that same year, a role he’s continued<br />

to hold following re-election<br />

in 2019.<br />

LEGACY: Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner will leave local body politics after next week’s<br />

elections.<br />

Turner, who has lived in<br />

Lyttelton since 2003, owned and<br />

operated several local businesses<br />

before entering politics.<br />

Economic development has<br />

been a particular focus during<br />

his time with the city council.<br />

He is particularly proud of the<br />

financial strategy that was put<br />

together “in very difficult circumstances”<br />

in 2013, when the<br />

incoming council faced a large<br />

budget deficit, commitments to<br />

anchor projects, and no certainty<br />

regarding settlement of its insurance.<br />

Said Turner: “We avoided<br />

the massive rates increases that<br />

we could have needed to put<br />

in place; we avoided the sale of<br />

revenue producing assets, and in<br />

fact used those assets to leverage<br />

a debt position which, whilst<br />

large, has been sustainable. The<br />

way we have managed the council’s<br />

finances in the particularly<br />

challenging period since the<br />

earthquakes is an achievement<br />

I’m very proud of.”<br />

The earthquakes have coloured<br />

much of Turner’s years of public<br />

service; with them came the opportunity<br />

to help make decisions<br />

that will have a lasting legacy for<br />

the city for generations.<br />

“The decision to repair the<br />

town hall is one of those I’m<br />

very proud of. Another massive<br />

legacy is the governance arrangements<br />

for the former residential<br />

red zone. It’s been exciting to be<br />

involved in some of the decisions<br />

that have really set the city on<br />

the right path for the future.’’<br />

Along with the role of deputy<br />

mayor, Turner has chaired the finance<br />

and performance committee<br />

and the communities, housing<br />

and economic development<br />

committee and has served on<br />

the board of Christchurch City<br />

Holdings Ltd, ChristchurchNZ<br />

and a number of other entities.<br />

“I always said that I would<br />

finish while I was still enjoying<br />

the role and while I felt I was still<br />

effective. The life of the city runs<br />

in cycles and I’d like to think we<br />

have some clear water in front of<br />

us now, it feels as though we’re at<br />

a natural turning point.<br />

“It is important to know when<br />

to step up – but it’s equally<br />

important to know when to step<br />

down.<br />

“For me personally it’s time<br />

to move on and do some<br />

new things. It’s time for us to<br />

encourage a new generation of<br />

leadership and I’m particularly<br />

pleased to see what I consider<br />

to be some excellent and<br />

highly motivated young people<br />

standing for election.”<br />

‘People are tired of being woken up’<br />

• From page 1<br />

“Then one morning I woke up<br />

. . . pulled the curtains across<br />

and here’s these containers in<br />

front of me,” Jones said.<br />

No notification was given by<br />

the city council. A spokesperson<br />

said the company was “permitted<br />

to establish on the site<br />

without a resource consent subject<br />

to compliance with certain<br />

standards”.<br />

While residents knew it was<br />

an industrial zone, Jones said no<br />

one had any idea it would become<br />

a shipping container yard.<br />

Another Gould Cres resident,<br />

who preferred not to be named,<br />

said containers were stacked five<br />

or six high at 2.9m each. They<br />

said, at 14.5-17.4m, the stacks<br />

were in breach of the 11m height<br />

restriction on the northern end<br />

of the site, closest to the residential<br />

areas.<br />

A city council memo from<br />

August 30, obtained by <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> News, suggested a stack<br />

of containers could be defined<br />

as a building, but that could be<br />

legally challenged.<br />

Peebles confirmed the restriction<br />

on part of the site, however<br />

he said “a container temporary<br />

storage facility is not a building<br />

and there is no height restriction<br />

for storage”.<br />

The city council spokesperson<br />

said they were investigating the<br />

issue.<br />

Noise monitoring performed<br />

by the city council on August 23<br />

found noise limits to be breached<br />

on two Long St properties,<br />

giving the company working 14<br />

days to comply.<br />

Long St resident Melissa Mc-<br />

Cutchan said they operate at all<br />

hours of the day and night. Noise<br />

complaints frequently come<br />

from herself, her husband and<br />

neighbours.<br />

Johanson said: “It’s just been<br />

really concerning to residents<br />

and frustrating because concerns<br />

are being raised, but the development<br />

is progressing.”<br />

McCutchan said it was “actually<br />

mentally taking a toll now<br />

because I dread going on maternity<br />

leave for the fact that they’re<br />

going to be working all-day and<br />

all night . . . because in the home<br />

it’s a constant drone”.<br />

Anytime a container was<br />

dropped onto another, the noise<br />

and vibrations caused her to<br />

question if it was an earthquake.<br />

Jones said: “People are sick and<br />

tired of being woken up with the<br />

banging and carrying on around<br />

Peebles confirmed there had<br />

been one incident where a worker<br />

had started half an hour early,<br />

but could not give any more<br />

details.<br />

A resident on Long St himself,<br />

Johanson noted there had been<br />

repeated times where they had<br />

been working well before 7am,<br />

waking up the neighbourhood.<br />

“They don’t have any respect<br />

for the impact that they’re having<br />

and it’s not fair.”<br />

The city council spokesperson<br />

said they would be performing<br />

further testing, and had done so<br />

last week but there was no work<br />

going on.<br />

If the Christchurch District<br />

Plan noise rules were not being<br />

complied with, the city council<br />

would consider an escalated<br />

enforcement approach.<br />

In a positive step, a notice of<br />

motion was passed at the most<br />

recent city council meeting,<br />

which noted concerns and<br />

called for a report and advice<br />

into how the district plan could<br />

be changed by introducing<br />

additional controls and public<br />

notification requirements.<br />

Construction on the part of<br />

the site adjacent to residential<br />

properties was due for completion<br />

in October, Peebles said.<br />

However, the facility was<br />

a container yard and the<br />

containers would come and go<br />

and the space would be used for<br />

logistics and container use in the<br />

long-term.<br />

Johanson received an update<br />

from the city council last week<br />

stating they had asked the owner<br />

to comply under the Outline<br />

Development Plan, with the 30m<br />

setback requirements and to<br />

reduce container stack heights<br />

to 11m. Compliance was asked<br />

by <strong>September</strong> 30, and if it is not<br />

met, further enforcement action<br />

was likely.<br />

transformed to pou<br />

DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> Playcentre<br />

unveiled a new pou that was<br />

gifted by their community to the<br />

centre on <strong>September</strong> 15.<br />

Community member Wally<br />

Hemapo donated an old telephone<br />

pole to the centre to be<br />

used specifically as a pou.<br />

Hemapo carved a beautiful<br />

depiction of a “mother and<br />

baby” koru wrapped in a korowai<br />

at the top of the pou.<br />

Artist Rebecca Gibbs painted<br />

the pou with help from children<br />

at the centre.<br />

“Rebecca designed a beautiful<br />

harakeke to represent our playcentre<br />

whānau, with the ocean,<br />

mountains, river and land in the<br />

background. The centre tamariki<br />

filled in background areas<br />

with colourful fingerprints,”<br />

playcentre member Olivia Sinclair<br />

said.<br />

“Several playcentre whānau<br />

were also instrumental in<br />

making this project happen,”<br />

Sinclair said.<br />

Playcentre Aotearoa’s Kaiwhakahaere<br />

Hononga Māori<br />

(Māori relationship manager)<br />

Erana Rattray, who attended<br />

the unveiling ceremony for the<br />

pou said: “It was wonderful to<br />

be able to weave te reo me ōna<br />

experience our rich culture,<br />

connecting the centre to the<br />

wider community.”<br />

“We recited karakia timatanga,<br />

mihi whakatau, sang waiata<br />

and Mr Hemapo and Ms Gibbs<br />

delivered whaikōrero, tamariki<br />

placed pītau (ferns) at the base<br />

of the pou and afterwards our<br />

tamariki led karakia kai and<br />

Stride out for a<br />

5km walk or run<br />

Ferrymead Harriers opens<br />

for its new season today.<br />

Club member Steve<br />

Hughes reports<br />

THE GROUP has been<br />

organising 5km run/walks on a<br />

Wednesday night during daylight<br />

saving time since 2008 from<br />

The Good Home Ferrymead,<br />

Waterman Pl.<br />

The emphasis is on a friendly,<br />

family-orientated event, with<br />

adults, children and dogs welcomed.<br />

This season starts today<br />

with entries from 5.30pm, the<br />

walk starting at 6pm, and runners<br />

at 6.15pm.<br />

The 5km course starts at the<br />

end of Waterman Pl, uses the<br />

tracks and footpaths through the<br />

Charlesworth Reserve and the<br />

suburb of Brookhaven, before<br />

returning to the starting point.<br />

Participants can walk or run all<br />

of it, take shortcuts, or do two<br />

laps if they wish.<br />

The main thing is to exercise<br />

with family and friends. There<br />

are no prizes for being fastest<br />

or first, but all participants have<br />

chances to win spot prizes.<br />

The entry fee of $5 per person<br />

has been the same since 2008<br />

and for that participants also<br />

get a barbecue sausage and a<br />

complimentary beer or wine<br />

courtesy of The Good Home<br />

Ferrymead.<br />

Since 2008 the group has been<br />

interrupted by earthquakes,<br />

storms, and pandemics, but have<br />

a loyal base of participants who<br />

have kept the group going.<br />

Some have been taking part<br />

since the beginning, and we have<br />

had people take part from as far<br />

afield as Sweden, Switzerland,<br />

Ireland, United Kingdom, and<br />

North America.<br />

A FUNDRAISER for popular<br />

owner-trainer Murray<br />

Edmonds has been labelled<br />

a massive, and at times<br />

emotional, success.<br />

More<br />

than 300<br />

people were<br />

involved in<br />

the sell-out<br />

dinner at<br />

the Silks at<br />

Addington<br />

Raceway on<br />

Murray<br />

Edmonds<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Huge support for popular trainer<br />

Thursday<br />

night, with<br />

thousands<br />

of dollars also raised through<br />

raffles and more than 50<br />

auctions.<br />

The function was organised<br />

by Stevie Golding, Sandi<br />

Curtin and Murray’s niece<br />

Aimee Edmonds, after the recent<br />

news that Edmonds had<br />

been diagnosed with a brain<br />

tumour.<br />

Edmonds was at the<br />

function along with family<br />

and friends from all over the<br />

country. Clearly touched by<br />

the occasion he described the<br />

night as “pretty unreal”.<br />

“We are just over the<br />

moon,” said Golding, who<br />

also emceed the night. “Everyone<br />

enjoyed themselves, and<br />

there were so many kind<br />

words.”<br />

GOOD CAUSE: This Dexter Dunn racing suit (left) was auctioned off at the sell-out<br />

fundraiser for Murray Edmonds at Addington Raceway.<br />

While it was emotional and<br />

heartfelt at times it also had its<br />

raucous moments, none more<br />

so than when it looked like<br />

one of the Edmonds-trained<br />

runners was going to win<br />

race 5.<br />

Watching Our Coin was<br />

ahead with 100 to go, only<br />

to be beaten on the line by<br />

Rakanotta.<br />

“Man – everyone was yelling<br />

at the top of their lungs.<br />

I’ve never been in a louder<br />

room during a horse race, it<br />

was unreal.<br />

“It was just a fantastic<br />

night,” said Curtin.<br />

“The number of items that<br />

were donated by people, some<br />

of them didn’t even know<br />

Muzz, but they could see it<br />

was such a good cause.”<br />

One example of that<br />

generosity came just hours<br />

before the function. Golding<br />

was picking up some items<br />

when he met up with Gary<br />

Roberts from Sulky Wheels in<br />

Templeton. On hearing what<br />

Golding was up to Roberts<br />

donated a work sulky. It sold<br />

for $<strong>28</strong>00.<br />

Other popular items included<br />

a signed Kiwis Anzac<br />

rugby league jersey that sold<br />

for $2400, a signed Dexter<br />

Dunn racing suit ($2300), a<br />

Marcoola service fee ($2100),<br />

and an old Phar Lap photo<br />

($2200).<br />

An offer by Robbie and<br />

Carla Holmes to break in a<br />

yearling was also sought after,<br />

going for $2300.<br />

Some items raised a few<br />

laughs, including a fishing<br />

trip with Golding himself that<br />

went for $2000 (bought by<br />

David Butt) and Mark Purdon<br />

buying a case of pinot noir<br />

donated by brother Barry for<br />

$2000.<br />

A final tally up for the night<br />

is still a few days away – but<br />

the night achieved all it set out<br />

to do, and more.<br />

“We can’t thank everyone<br />

enough, the people at<br />

Addington and everyone who<br />

was involved,” said Golding,<br />

“it was amazing.”<br />

Treasures from the past:<br />

Terra Nova’s Motorised Sledge<br />

ON NOVEMBER 26, 1910,<br />

crowds of excited Cantabrians<br />

farewelled Captain Robert<br />

Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic<br />

Expedition aboard the former<br />

whaling barque Terra Nova as<br />

she sailed out of Whakaraupō<br />

Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> bound for<br />

Antarctica.<br />

On board were 33 dogs<br />

and 15 ponies that had called<br />

Ōtamahua Quail Island their<br />

quarantine and training home<br />

for some months. Alongside<br />

them in the hold were three<br />

motorised sledges, precursors to<br />

the caterpillar tracked tanks of<br />

World War 1, as well as the later<br />

Antarctic ‘Weasels’ and modern<br />

snowcats that revolutionised<br />

polar transport.<br />

Influenced by Ernest<br />

Shackleton’s novel use of an<br />

Arrol-Johnson automobile<br />

in his Nimrod expedition of<br />

1907-9, Scott was convinced that<br />

motorised transport was the way<br />

of the future.<br />

With this future in mind,<br />

he had procured three purpose-built<br />

tractor sledges<br />

from Wolseley Motors Ltd, a<br />

subsidiary of the British Vickers<br />

engineering and armaments<br />

company. These were heavy<br />

sledges equipped with two<br />

Caterpillar tracks on dual axles,<br />

Day and Lashley working on a motorised sledge during<br />

Scott’s Terra Nova expedition. Te Ūaka The Lyttelton<br />

Museum ref 7202.1<br />

https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1127423<br />

with the rear axle powered by a<br />

centre-mounted four-cylinder,<br />

12 horsepower, air-cooled, petrol<br />

engine.<br />

A padded seat allowed for a<br />

driver at the back who controlled<br />

the throttle and two-speed<br />

forward gearing (no reverse gear<br />

or brakes), while the tractor was<br />

steered by a helmsman walking<br />

ahead with a steering rope to<br />

guide the contraption to the left<br />

or right. With a maximum speed<br />

of just 3.5 miles per hour (5.6<br />

km/h) in top gear, the tractors<br />

could nonetheless haul over one<br />

ton of equipment and supplies on<br />

towed sledges.<br />

Scott had also enlisted the help<br />

of the world’s first Antarctic mechanical<br />

engineer, Shackleton’s<br />

Arrol-Johnston mechanic and<br />

driver Bernard C Day, who –<br />

along with Royal Navy veteran<br />

and native of Hambledon,<br />

Hampshire, William Lashly –<br />

would be responsible for keeping<br />

the motorised sledges working in<br />

the severe Antarctic conditions.<br />

Arriving at Cape Evans in<br />

McMurdo Sound on January 4,<br />

1911, two of the motorised sledges<br />

were set down on the ice and<br />

successfully hauled one ton loads<br />

up to the expedition’s base camp.<br />

Unfortunately, four days later,<br />

with the ice around the Terra<br />

Nova deteriorating, the third<br />

sledge was set down and promptly<br />

plummeted 12 fathoms deep<br />

into the frigid waters.<br />

While Scott had high hopes for<br />

the Antarctic’s motorised future,<br />

these were quickly tempered by<br />

the constant difficulties that Day<br />

and Lashly encountered in maintaining<br />

the tractor engines. The<br />

air-cooled motors overheated<br />

on longer and heavier hauls, had<br />

problems with the oil lubricant<br />

system and frequently broke<br />

down, sometimes even requiring<br />

their mechanics to complete<br />

overnight engine rebuilds in -25<br />

deg C. The biggest flaw, however,<br />

as was the case with Shackleton’s<br />

Arrol-Johnston, was the loss<br />

of traction on ice, which then<br />

required manhauling.<br />

On October 24, 1911, the<br />

journey to the South Pole began<br />

with an advance supply party<br />

departing Cape Evans bound<br />

for the Great Ice Barrier (Ross<br />

Ice Shelf) and on towards the<br />

Beardsmore Glacier. Day and<br />

Lashly drove the motorised<br />

sledges towing three tons of<br />

supplies between them on three<br />

large sledges.<br />

After a painfully slow and<br />

arduous journey across ice<br />

taking several days, with<br />

constant breakdowns and<br />

overheating, the team became<br />

the first Antarctic expedition to<br />

drive onto the Barrier.<br />

After this initial success,<br />

however, the constant strain<br />

on the engines over the year<br />

took its toll, with both failing<br />

catastrophically on November<br />

1 after covering just 50 miles<br />

(80km) in seven days. With<br />

another 150 miles (240km)<br />

to their assigned destination,<br />

the motorised sledges were<br />

abandoned for good, with the<br />

remaining supplies man hauled<br />

across the frozen terrain.<br />

When Scott’s team caught up<br />

with the advance party, Day was<br />

sent back to camp, while Lashly<br />

remained for the ascent to the<br />

Beardsmore Glacier and the<br />

plateau beyond.<br />

Famously not chosen for the<br />

last deadly leg of Scott’s bid for<br />

the South Pole, Lashly turned<br />

back with just 150 miles (240km)<br />

to go. Thus it was that both<br />

Day and Lashly survived to tell<br />

the tales of their mechanised<br />

adventures in the Antarctic.<br />

Saying goodbye<br />

to our oldest<br />

crane<br />

If you have been watching our<br />

Lyttelton Container Terminal<br />

over the last month, you will<br />

have noticed a rather large<br />

change, as we dismantle one<br />

of our ship to shore cranes.<br />

Built in 1993, Crane 1 has been a key part of<br />

our terminal for almost 30 years, completing<br />

thousands of lifts over its lifetime.<br />

The introduction of the ship to shore<br />

crane in the 1980’s symbolised the growth of<br />

our container terminal and the importance<br />

of containerisation for the shipping industry<br />

globally.<br />

Coming in at almost 800 tonnes the<br />

deconstruction is no small feat, with<br />

a specialised team involved to safely<br />

disassemble the pieces.<br />

Most of the crane will also be recycled,<br />

with approximately 600 tonnes of metal<br />

being taken to the scrap yard.<br />

Looking to the future, we are now<br />

excited for the arrival of a new crane<br />

next year.<br />

Crane 1 is our smallest crane, in terms<br />

of height and reach, so the replacement<br />

will align with the rest of our fleet.<br />

With 30 years of technological<br />

advances to incorporate, the new crane<br />

has improved safety features, especially<br />

around collision detection and prevention<br />

with containers, plant and people.<br />

Moving from DC to AC power supply,<br />

this also means a smoother experience for<br />

our skilled crane drivers.<br />

The new crane, which is currently in the<br />

early stages of manufacturing in Ireland,<br />

is set to be operational in July next year,<br />

bringing us back to a four crane operation.<br />

While the four cranes are never<br />

operational simultaneously, having a four<br />

crane fleet is key in providing flexibility<br />

for our operations and our maintenance<br />

schedule, to ensure we can provide<br />

efficient services to our many customers.<br />

“Our continued growth is only possible<br />

with everyone’s hard work, dedication and<br />

innovation from the teams at Lyttelton Port,<br />

across to our inland ports, CityDepot and<br />

MidlandPort, as well as our customers,” he<br />

said.<br />

“This landmark is important in signalling<br />

to others that we are no longer a small,<br />

100,000 TEU-a-year port. This also links into<br />

the ongoing growth with the new coastal<br />

services recently announced. We have hit<br />

this large milestone, and are showing no<br />

signs of slowing down.<br />

“Facilitating the trade of containers is<br />

not only a crucial part of our success as a<br />

business, but the success of the economy<br />

of the Canterbury region and the South<br />

Island,” Simon said.<br />

LPC has invested heavily in<br />

infrastructure and plant to handle<br />

the increase. Currently an $85 million<br />

expansion of the Container Terminal on the<br />

Te Awaparahi <strong>Bay</strong> reclamation is underway,<br />

which will lift the capacity of the Terminal<br />

from 500,000 TEU to 620,000 by the end of<br />

this year.<br />

This comes on top of the doubling of rail<br />

capacity through the investment in a new,<br />

second rail siding, the purchase of a fleet of<br />

Noel 1 over 3 straddles, and the construction<br />

of reefer towers.<br />

These developments all help support<br />

the growth through the port as LPC<br />

welcomed several new shipping services<br />

and lines this year.<br />

Since 1973, LPC has exchanged more<br />

than seven million TEU, growing in the last<br />

50 years from just 1000 TEU annually to<br />

503,000 TEU this year.<br />

7,140,738<br />

PORT NEWS<br />

Stop Pause<br />

Reflect: Our<br />

Safety Reset<br />

LPC CEO Kirstie<br />

Gardener and Deputy<br />

Mayor Andrew Turner<br />

cutting the ribbon on<br />

the opening of the<br />

amenities building.<br />

In July, a company-wide<br />

Health and Safety Reset was<br />

launched sparked by the need<br />

to shift the culture of safety<br />

at LPC.<br />

The Health and Safety Reset is a suite of<br />

initiatives and focuses for the business<br />

spanning a year-long period.<br />

The Safety Reset, which kicked off in the<br />

first week of July, was the first of those<br />

initiatives and featured the launch of LPC’s<br />

eight Life-Saving Commitments.<br />

Led by CEO Kirstie Gardener and backed<br />

by our Union partners, face to face meetings<br />

were held with leadership teams, plus leaders<br />

on the ground such as Unions and foremen.<br />

Team meetings were then held by<br />

our people leaders across the business,<br />

ensuring every member of the LPC whānau<br />

understood the key messages, and the<br />

importance of the Safety Reset.<br />

Over the course of a fortnight, workgroups<br />

paused work for a period of time to discuss<br />

safety. Staff also received publications<br />

outlining the eight Life-Saving Commitments<br />

all LPC staff must all make to ensure that we<br />

all go home safe, everyday.<br />

Kirstie says the responsibility for safety is<br />

shouldered by everyone who enters any LPC<br />

facility. That shift, she says, will require “active<br />

leadership and involvement by all of us.”<br />

“Our near miss incidents involve LPC staff<br />

putting themselves into dangerous, risky<br />

situations, based on an acceptance of a level<br />

of risk that is not okay,” she says.<br />

The eight Life-Saving Commitments are<br />

simple and cover LPC’s critical risks areas.<br />

They are: People v Plant, Suspended Loads,<br />

Container Stacks, Ships Lines, Working at<br />

Height, Isolation, Working near Water, and<br />

PPE.<br />

Over the coming year, we will focus on our<br />

people, plant and processes, reinforcing a<br />

positive culture of safety and understanding<br />

where we can improve.<br />

Investing in our<br />

dry dock<br />

The Dry Dock is reaching<br />

milestones in its large<br />

program of works that cover<br />

safe and sustainable upgrades<br />

aimed at futureproofing the<br />

facilities.<br />

This month we celebrated the completion<br />

of the amenities building, the substantial<br />

electrical upgrade, as well as the sluice gate<br />

replacement.<br />

Led by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke’s Maui<br />

Stuart, the celebration was also joined by<br />

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner, along with the<br />

array of teams that contributed to the works.<br />

It’s incredibly challenging to upgrade a<br />

nearly 140-year-old heritage listed facility,<br />

meaning we have worked closely with council<br />

and other organisations to get these upgrades<br />

over the line the right way.<br />

The amenities building project began in<br />

October, and started with the demolition of<br />

the previous outdated building, which was<br />

first constructed in the 1950’s.<br />

The new building features shower and<br />

bathroom facilities for international crew<br />

to use while their vessels are in dock for<br />

servicing and repairs, as well as office space<br />

and our dive stores.<br />

The completion was commemorated with<br />

a traditional blessing, which included karakia<br />

and waiata, sung by our waiata group.<br />

We also celebrated the electrical program<br />

of works which involved upgrading the<br />

substations, installing meterage sites, and<br />

modernising the lighting system to new<br />

directional posts.<br />

The new lights introduce much needed<br />

consistency across the site as well as being<br />

LED which are more sustainable than the<br />

previous halogen ones.<br />

The posts also have the benefit of being<br />

directional, meaning while they provide a<br />

well-lit and safe working environment at<br />

the bottom of the dock, they will have little<br />

impact on the surrounding community.<br />

The electrical upgrade is much needed,<br />

as when the dry dock opened, it was run on<br />

steam, and while it has since been converted<br />

to electricity, it lacked safe and sufficient<br />

modern systems.<br />

The sluice gate has also recently been<br />

replaced, which saw an instant improvement<br />

in water management around the dock.<br />

It has drastically reduced the amount<br />

of water that leaks in, as well as providing<br />

greater control of the flow of water when<br />

reflooding the dock.<br />

While these are all major improvements on<br />

a heritage site, there is still work to go.<br />

In future, the team will be looking at<br />

safety improvements around dock access and<br />

further fall protection after the installation of<br />

edge protection last year.<br />

LPC UPDATE <strong>September</strong> <strong>2022</strong> 3


CUSTOMER FOCUS<br />

Synlait takes<br />

sustainable<br />

future into<br />

own hands<br />

Synlait has taken a sustainable<br />

approach to the future of<br />

exporting their milk products<br />

to the world – and in doing so,<br />

are taking an estimated 16,000<br />

truck movements off State<br />

Highway 1.<br />

Prior to Synlait’s rail siding project, which<br />

was officially opened in May 2021, all of the<br />

company’s export products were trucked<br />

from Dunsandel to Lyttelton on road.<br />

But, with trains taking containers to<br />

LPC’s MidlandPort and onto Lyttelton, it’s<br />

estimated this could reduce Synlait’s carbon<br />

emissions for these trips by about 50 per<br />

cent when compared to these trips being<br />

completed by container trucks.<br />

The rail siding has also reduced Synlait’s<br />

carbon emissions by 888 tonnes per annum.<br />

Synlait program manager Karen Pearce<br />

says utilising Midland has enabled the<br />

company to increase control over their<br />

supply chain, streamline their operations,<br />

and improve safety at the Heslerton Road<br />

intersection, on which Synlait is based.<br />

Covid-19 has presented challenges for<br />

Synlait over the past few years, as it has<br />

for many others in both the dairy industry<br />

and the import-export industry. Issues have<br />

included shipping capacity constraints,<br />

equipment shortages and procurement<br />

issues, to name a few.<br />

But Synlait has mitigated these issues<br />

by maintaining strong relationships with<br />

shipping carriers, logistics partners and<br />

suppliers to gain different perspectives and<br />

views on capacities.<br />

They have increased their own resource<br />

and spread the risk across many services and<br />

carriers. And, they maintained a high level of<br />

flexibility to react to changes in vessel port<br />

connections.<br />

Timeliness for Synlait remains critical<br />

in meeting vessel port connections and<br />

continuing access to overseas markets.<br />

They recognise that overseas customers<br />

have a choice who they purchase from.<br />

Delays in shipping services are constrained,<br />

and if vessel port connections are missed,<br />

customers could expect a further two-tothree<br />

week delay in arrival. Something<br />

Synlait tries to avoid any delay at all costs.<br />

LPC is proud to have supported Synlait<br />

in working with shipping lines to support<br />

equipment supply out of MidlandPort.<br />

Synlait's rail siding<br />

has decreased their<br />

emissions by up to 50%.<br />

OUR PEOPLE<br />

Falling into a<br />

new career<br />

The switch from skydive<br />

instructor to mechanical<br />

maintenance might seem a<br />

big leap, but for Glen, he’s<br />

loving the change.<br />

Glen Powell has been at LPC for 3 years,<br />

working as a heavy diesel mechanic, but<br />

when he was 20, Glen completed his Diploma<br />

in Commercial Skydiving and became an<br />

instructor.<br />

Starting in Queenstown, he spent the<br />

next 7 years skydiving, traveling around the<br />

world.<br />

“At 15,000 feet it can be -30 degrees so it’s a<br />

tough job in the winter, which is why I liked to<br />

travel, to catch the summer seasons,” says Glen.<br />

His favourite place to spend time was<br />

Norway, as the people there nice and<br />

friendly.<br />

“It’s kind of like New Zealand, but<br />

everything is a lot older so the mountains<br />

are bigger.”<br />

Having completed 6500 sky dives, and<br />

120 base jumps he was looking for a new<br />

challenge and started working at Shotover<br />

Jet in Queenstown.<br />

“I’ve always liked engines, but it wasn’t till<br />

that job that I started working as a mechanic,<br />

as some weeks I would be driving the boats,<br />

some weeks, I would be working on the<br />

maintenance of them,” says Glen.<br />

Moving back to Christchurch to be<br />

closer to family, Glen got a job with our<br />

maintenance team.<br />

Keeping our heavy plant in check means<br />

that every day at LPC is different.<br />

“It all depends on the breakdowns that<br />

happen in a shift. Some days you may only<br />

get one breakdown and you can carry on<br />

with the scheduled maintenance, or some<br />

days you might have 10,” says Glen.<br />

“Sometimes straddles will breakdown<br />

in the middle of the patch, and you have to<br />

go and sort them out there to get them to a<br />

safe point, or the straddle drivers can bring<br />

them into the workshop so we can see what’s<br />

happened.”<br />

Glen is also looking forward to the new<br />

workshop opening May next year.<br />

“It’s been a long time coming, even before<br />

I started, so it’s exciting to be part of tooling<br />

the new facilities and making a space that<br />

works for us,” he says.<br />

“We currently supply a lot of our own tools<br />

so we are working through what kind of set<br />

up will be in the new space and how we will<br />

store everything.”<br />

But for Glen, one of the best things about<br />

LPC is the lifestyle that comes with it.<br />

“I love working here, some people don’t like<br />

shift work, but I love it. Having that extra<br />

time, means I can still get out and do what I<br />

want to do,” he says.<br />

This usually means getting out on his bike.<br />

“I have a Triumph Speed Triple which<br />

I love to go exploring on. Recently, I did<br />

Christchurch to Cape Reinga which was<br />

amazing,” says Glen.<br />

“The next big bucket list trip is the USA. I’d<br />

love to do a ride starting in LA and travelling<br />

up to Alaska.<br />

“Now the borders are open again, its time<br />

to start saving and planning.”<br />

it's where I live with my family. The<br />

Peninsula, its people and its uniqueness runs<br />

through my veins.<br />

I am critically aware of the pressure our land<br />

is under from climate change and it needs a<br />

strong voice to protect it.<br />

To be sustainable is not enough, we need to<br />

It would be an honour to serve as your<br />

It is such an honour to represent the<br />

community over the last six years as the<br />

community board representative and the<br />

last three as chair person.<br />

Banks Peninsula has such diverse<br />

communities full of incredibly passionate<br />

people. We all love the peninsula for a<br />

wide variety of reasons, our access to the<br />

water, natural flora and fauna, the people<br />

that help make up our tight knit<br />

communities, and the lifestyle we choose<br />

to live. Whatever the reason, we are<br />

different and we are special. That is why I<br />

am wanting to become Councilor for<br />

Banks Peninsula.<br />

I want to see council put their<br />

environmental impact on the top of the list,<br />

when looking at any project or priority, just<br />

like they do with financial cost and<br />

community benefits. Community resilience<br />

is important, because with these ever<br />

increasing weather events/extremes we<br />

need to be able to thrive in our<br />

communities, not just survive.<br />

Spending in council needs to be smart.<br />

We needs our roads, water infrastructure<br />

and green space to be maintained, but we<br />

can not over burden the community with<br />

high rates rises to do so.<br />

Tourism does have an effect on our<br />

community, that is why the Destination<br />

Management Plan needs to be delivered,<br />

so we can get the benefits and manage<br />

the negative impacts.<br />

I have a great understanding of the issues<br />

the peninsula is facing and I can work with<br />

anyone around the table for the best<br />

outcome for Bank Peninsula and the city.<br />

THIS BOOK<br />

Charlie’s Good Tonight<br />

by Paul Sexton<br />

Featuring forewords from bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, this is the official<br />

and fully authorised biography of the world’s most revered and celebrated drummer.<br />

Mid-1962. The newly formed Rolling Stones are on the hunt for a permanent drummer.<br />

Their sights are set on Charlie Watts, a jazz musician already well-known within<br />

London’s rhythm and blues clubs. Fortunately for future Stones fans the world over, they<br />

persuade him to take on the job. Once installed at the drum seat, Charlie would not miss<br />

a beat for the rest of his life. He was there throughout the swinging sixties as the Stones<br />

reached superstardom and for the well-documented debauchery of the 1970s, typified<br />

by the iconic album Exile on Main St. Battling his own demons by the eighties, Charlie<br />

emerged unscathed, cementing his reputation as the thoughtful, cultured but no less<br />

compelling counterpoint to his more raucous bandmates. For almost 60 years – through<br />

all the band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel both on stage and off<br />

– Charlie remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones. At the same time, he was<br />

the antithesis of the rock-star archetype, an intensely private man who valued his family<br />

above all else. Drawing on new interviews with his family, friends and former bandmates<br />

– including Mick Jagger and Keith Richards – Charlie’s Good Tonight is the remarkable<br />

life story of Charlie Watts: official, authorised and as it’s never been told before.<br />

voting in a different ward<br />

this year, even if you<br />

haven’t changed address.<br />

Every six years, the Council<br />

carries out a review to ensure<br />

there’s fair representation at elections,<br />

with each member representing<br />

around the same number<br />

of people (with the exception of<br />

Banks Peninsula, which warrants<br />

its own councillor and community<br />

board due to its unique geography).<br />

As a result of last year’s<br />

review, some ward boundaries<br />

were changed, and some people<br />

may find that they now live and<br />

vote in a different ward than in<br />

the previous election in 2019.<br />

The review also resulted in a<br />

reduction in the number of community<br />

boards in Christchurch,<br />

Entrepreneurship Thriving<br />

at Te Aratai College<br />

Our Business Studies has been experiencing<br />

rapid growth, resulting in several successes<br />

in the national Young Enterprise Scheme<br />

competition. Our kura is punching well above<br />

its weight, placing well in the competition and<br />

scooping up exclusive spots on the Young<br />

Enterprise Scheme trips. The Lion Foundation<br />

Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is an<br />

opportunity for students to unleash their innerentrepreneur<br />

and experience the start-up world<br />

first-hand. YES is an experiential programme<br />

where students set up and run a real business.<br />

This year three of our students have secured<br />

spots on business trips to learn about<br />

entrepreneurship in China, Latin America,<br />

and an immersive two-day “Entrepreneurs in<br />

Action” course in Wellington.<br />

In the past, some of our ākonga have garnered<br />

local and national media attention with<br />

their endeavours. There was the “Popcoin”<br />

enterprise that spotted a gap in the snack<br />

food market – gourmet popcorn. The Year 13<br />

entrepreneurs sold the snacks at markets and<br />

pop-up stalls across Christchurch. Not only did<br />

the company make a profit and have to employ<br />

other students to meet demand, but they were<br />

named winners of the 2019 Canterbury Young<br />

Enterprise product launch.<br />

Another successful endeavour was the Year<br />

13 business team that created a children’s<br />

book, ‘A Trip Around the World’—designed to<br />

promote diversity amongst young readers and<br />

to “say no to racism.” The first print run of the<br />

book flew off the shelves resulting in<br />

a sellout within two weeks. The book<br />

can also be found in several libraries<br />

around Christchurch. Their success<br />

was also picked up in the national<br />

media. Additionally, they were<br />

presented with the excellence award<br />

for customer and market engagement<br />

at the Young Enterprise regional<br />

finals.<br />

This year Te Aratai has 10 teams<br />

from two Year 13 business classes<br />

competing in the Young Enterprise<br />

Scheme, a competition where<br />

students learn key business skills and<br />

compete against schools nationally<br />

by setting up their own businesses.<br />

Two teams have been featured<br />

in local media and have received<br />

positive feedback from the<br />

community, including local MPs.<br />

Launched by five enterprising<br />

Year 13 students, “Cheeky Grill”<br />

combines the best of Indian and<br />

Mexican food to create exceptional<br />

butter chicken burritos and<br />

quesadillas. It started when Azkiya<br />

Mohammed, Ashlyn Reddy, Nitin<br />

Ratui, Dipshay Prasad and Lupe<br />

Mahoni wanted to produce some<br />

soul-warming food. Since March<br />

this year, the students have been<br />

selling at their school sites and the Mt Pleasant<br />

Food Truck Alley. They were amazed by the<br />

success of their “Mindian” dishes. Cheeky Grill<br />

have sold out at the locations they’ve been to,<br />

with the most successful stint at the Food Truck<br />

Alley.<br />

Another successful team to feature in the<br />

news this year is the “pHyzi” team who have<br />

prototyped, produced and sold colourful fizzy<br />

bombs that can be used to wash dishes. Chief<br />

executive Manisha Baines said the group was<br />

inspired to develop the product after seeing<br />

young children becoming frustrated and bored<br />

with household chores. Marketing director<br />

Fabian Kazakos-Gardner said, “We thought<br />

about how we could help and being keen on<br />

science came up with the idea of colourful fizzy<br />

dish tablets that work like bath bombs.”<br />

Kaltan Kazakos-Gardner, our current Deputy-<br />

Head Student, who has taken Business<br />

Studies throughout his senior schooling, was<br />

recently awarded a spot in the Latin American<br />

Business programme that places Year 13<br />

NCEA Business students on a two-day course<br />

in Auckland. This course teaches students<br />

about developing business opportunities in<br />

Latin America. He says, “Business Studies at<br />

Te Aratai College offers a range of amazing<br />

opportunities that teach you real-world skills.<br />

There are also plenty of chances to be a part<br />

of activities and trips where you will meet<br />

amazing people. I was fortunate to be a part<br />

of one of these trips, which led me to meet the<br />

ambassador of Argentina.”<br />

Now’s the time to PowerUp your career<br />

ŌTAUTAHI businesses are<br />

facing a major skills shortage.<br />

Border closures plus strong<br />

economic growth has meant a<br />

record number of jobs advertised<br />

online – up 33 per cent over the<br />

last year.<br />

Approximately 20,000 women<br />

are either underemployed or<br />

underutilised in the workforce,<br />

a statistic that kickstarted<br />

ChristchurchNZ’s PowerUp<br />

initiative to support more<br />

women into work.<br />

PowerUp is centred<br />

around an information hub<br />

at powerupyourcareer.co.nz<br />

and is focussed on supporting<br />

Canterbury women into<br />

work and arming them with<br />

knowledge and tools to make<br />

informed choices about their<br />

career path. It also offers<br />

support to local employers<br />

through a pilot series of<br />

workshops around diversity,<br />

equity and inclusion.<br />

It is fronted by four Christchurch<br />

women who share<br />

relatable, inspiring stories about<br />

overcoming challenges in their<br />

careers.<br />

For Dale Jackson, low confidence<br />

and an overwhelming job<br />

hunt held her back after redundancy<br />

and, with support from<br />

a career coach, she had to work<br />

hard to rediscover her value.<br />

“My career coach changed my<br />

powerupyourcareer.co.nz<br />

journeys as part of PowerUp campaign.<br />

where it’s never been before by<br />

showing me that it was all about<br />

starting with the basics and<br />

discovering what makes me tick,”<br />

Dale said.<br />

Local support groups also<br />

played an integral role in Dale’s<br />

career journey, particularly<br />

Dress for Success, a group that<br />

provides support and advice on<br />

professional attire and development<br />

skills.<br />

Karen Haigh, talent specialist<br />

at ChristchurchNZ said groups<br />

YOUR FUTURE<br />

Gazelle Lowcay, Ceryse Scott, Dale Jackson and Angela Godenho share their career<br />

found on PowerUp and are a key<br />

part of why the hub offers a lot<br />

more than just CV advice and<br />

cover letter templates.<br />

“The PowerUp hub is a onestop-shop<br />

for women looking to<br />

grow their career in Christchurch.<br />

There’s so much support available,<br />

but it can be difficult to access –<br />

the hub collates all the support<br />

services in one place to make it<br />

easier for women to connect to<br />

the services and events that are<br />

right for them, whether they be<br />

jobseekers, career changers or<br />

263 x 180<br />

life. She got my confidence to<br />

new to Christchurch,” Karen<br />

said.<br />

Ceryse Scott agrees that a<br />

regionalised information hub<br />

would’ve been the perfect place<br />

for her. After losing her job due<br />

to Covid, she spent a long time<br />

searching for inspiration and the<br />

right job.<br />

Now settled in her role as a<br />

case manager for the Ministry<br />

of Social Development, Ceryse<br />

credits support networks that<br />

gave her insights into people and<br />

diverse groups and built on her<br />

passion for community work.<br />

Through these Ceryse developed<br />

a portfolio of transferable skills.<br />

Gazelle Lowcay and Angela<br />

Godenho complete the group of<br />

four and have powerful messages<br />

for women looking for work or<br />

thinking about changing career<br />

direction.<br />

Gazelle, a migrant from the<br />

Philippines, retrained in IT after<br />

eight years as a nurse and now<br />

works as a software developer for<br />

Jade Software. Gazelle says it’s a<br />

really supportive work environment<br />

for women and she feels<br />

empowered.<br />

Mother of three Angela was<br />

apprehensive about returning<br />

to work and assumed a work/<br />

life balance wasn’t on the cards.<br />

But her employer, Warren and<br />

Mahoney, have embraced her<br />

part-time hours and Angela says<br />

workplaces are becoming more<br />

family friendly.<br />

“Mums probably get more done<br />

in a day than many get done in<br />

three. We’re really driven and<br />

that’s becoming more valued and<br />

appreciated. You just have to back<br />

yourself, women are prone to<br />

imposter syndrome so it’s really<br />

important to get the right support<br />

and information to help get back<br />

on your feet,” Angela said.<br />

Toyota expands RAV4 hybrid range<br />

IT WAS A LONG, draining<br />

struggle – coming to a sport<br />

utility vehicle buying decision.<br />

My wife and I looked deeply at<br />

three contenders – two hybrids<br />

and a conventionally-powered<br />

four-cylinder model.<br />

We looked at all factors – fuel<br />

usage, fit for purpose, and price<br />

– what you actually get for your<br />

money.<br />

Toyota tempted us greatly. Not<br />

only do you have the knowledge<br />

that the listed price is all you pay,<br />

as on road costs are included<br />

in that, but if you do buy into<br />

a hybrid, then there’s the benefit<br />

of the Government’s Clean<br />

Car Rebate which accounts for<br />

over $2000 on all RAV4 hybrid<br />

models.<br />

This evaluation surrounds<br />

the RAV4 XSE hybrid of which<br />

buyers can claim back $2387.24.<br />

The XSE sits midway through the<br />

hybrid line-up and it is priced<br />

at $53,990. There are five hybrid<br />

variants that start at $46,990 for<br />

the GX, a GXL adds $3000, while<br />

the Limited and Adventure both<br />

sit at $57,990.<br />

Regular readers will recall my<br />

evaluation of the rugged Adventure<br />

model last month which, as<br />

its name would suggest, is a little<br />

adventurous in its looks. It is<br />

one of two new variants into the<br />

hybrid range along with the XSE.<br />

The latter is a lot more conservative,<br />

but it is a high-specification<br />

variant that will please with its<br />

quality of build, level of specification<br />

and comfort, although as far<br />

as the latter is concerned it would<br />

be perfect if only the in-cabin<br />

heater came up to temperature<br />

quicker, those frosty Canterbury<br />

winter mornings are quite taxing.<br />

Major items fitted include<br />

coloured synthetic leather trim<br />

with heated seats, electric driver’s<br />

seat adjustment, electric tailgate,<br />

radar cruise control and<br />

a comprehensive Toyota Safety<br />

Sense suite of kit, easily earning<br />

a five-star Australasian New Car<br />

Assessment Program rating.<br />

While that’s a healthy package,<br />

take into account too, that the<br />

RAV4 has just undergone a very<br />

mild facelift through new lights<br />

up front providing a point of<br />

difference.<br />

The XSE variant stands out<br />

as well with its two-tone colour<br />

scheme and piano black accents,<br />

it is a point of difference amongst<br />

the others, but it is definitely not as<br />

striking as the Adventure model.<br />

Under the bonnet the RAV4<br />

gets the 2.5-litre petrol/Hybrid<br />

Synergy Drive system that is<br />

based around the mechanicals<br />

which have made Prius the go-to<br />

name in terms of describing<br />

hybrid technology. However, the<br />

HIGH GRADE: The RAV4 XSE has black wheels and black<br />

accents.<br />

TOYOTA RAV4 XSE HYBRID: Definite off-road potential.<br />

RAV4 doesn’t get the 1.8-litre engine,<br />

instead its driveline comes<br />

courtesy of the Camry and the<br />

combined petrol/electric energy<br />

transfer is ushered through<br />

continuously variable automatic<br />

transmission.<br />

The driveline combination<br />

develops a total of 163kW and<br />

221Nm, varying at any given time<br />

depending on whether the engine<br />

is active or if the batteries are<br />

supplying the drive.<br />

Of course, electric propulsion is<br />

the ultimate aim, and if situations<br />

allowed, that would be the case<br />

but, of course, battery capacity<br />

is constantly depleting, and as a<br />

vehicle it is required to accelerate<br />

and maintain momentum,<br />

which is why the petrol engine<br />

operates at will. You can opt for a<br />

full EV mode, but that is only for<br />

short distances and you need to<br />

be very gentle with the throttle,<br />

the engine will cut in with little<br />

provocation.<br />

That aside,the entire process<br />

is seamless with the result being<br />

some rather remarkable fuel<br />

usage figures. Toyota rates the<br />

entire RAV4 hybrid line-up with<br />

a 5.3-litre per 100km combined<br />

cycle average. The trip computer<br />

was listing an impressive<br />

6.2l/100km average when I took<br />

the evaluation car back to the<br />

dealership. If you are doing a long<br />

• Price – Toyota RAV4 XSE<br />

hybrid, $53,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4600mm; width, 1855mm;<br />

height, 1685mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

2487cc, 131kW, 221Nm,<br />

continuously variable<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.1sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km<br />

highway cruise you can expect<br />

the display to show around<br />

4l/100km at 100km/h.<br />

I picked up the XSE variant<br />

directly after dropping off the<br />

Adventure model, and having a<br />

fortnight with the two models<br />

was a good indication of what<br />

one could expect to live with on a<br />

daily basis, and I can report it is a<br />

very tempting proposition.<br />

On both occasions I drove west<br />

from the city interlinking with<br />

State Highway 72 the scenic route<br />

that runs parallel to the Malvern<br />

Hills, the roads were dry and it<br />

was easy to maintain a steady<br />

pace along with thrifty fuel usage.<br />

When corners are presented,<br />

predictable handling manners are<br />

offered with accurate turn-in and<br />

controlled body balance.<br />

Interestingly, the Adventure<br />

and XSE get wheels of a different<br />

size – 19in and 18in respectively.<br />

However, I couldn’t pick any<br />

difference in the feel of the two<br />

models, both sit quietly and comfortably<br />

on the road, and handling-wise<br />

the feel at the wheel in<br />

both cases is sharp and involving.<br />

As good fortune would have<br />

it, the XSE model arrived on<br />

a weekend when my daughter<br />

was moving from one inner-city<br />

apartment to another. With the<br />

rear seats folded flat we were<br />

able to load everything from a<br />

65in television to bookcases and<br />

duchesses.<br />

It’s in that type of environment<br />

that sport utility vehicles come<br />

into their own. The RAV4 has<br />

a cavernous rear load section –<br />

with the rear seats upright up<br />

543-litres can be carried there –<br />

and that’s not bad from a wagon<br />

that sits at just 4.6m.<br />

That being the case, it’s also<br />

no surprise to note that demand<br />

for all RAV4 hybrid models is so<br />

high that orders only are being<br />

taken and delivery could well be<br />

out to 12 months.<br />

I’m sure those who do place<br />

an order will be well satisfied<br />

when it eventually rolls up their<br />

driveway.<br />

has motoring covered!<br />
