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 />

“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 />

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 />
Motukurara harness racing<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 />

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 />
LPC UPDATE <strong>September</strong> <strong>2022</strong>
PORT NEWS<br />
LPC reaches record<br />
500,000 TEU mark<br />
In the last week of June <strong>2022</strong>,<br />

built in 2010, is 264m long and carries up to<br />
4,600 TEU.<br />
LPC GM Container Operations Simon<br />
Munt said he wanted to thank all LPC staff<br />
for playing their part in this achievement.<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 />

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 />

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 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 />

4) You may find you’re<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 />

ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
Defined by effortless sophistication, this nearnew<br />
residence raises the bar on modern family<br />
living from a serene setting on Mt Pleasant’s<br />
desired lower slopes.<br />
Completed in 2019, elegance unfolds<br />
throughout the deeply considered two-level<br />
layout, and its flexible configuration can easily<br />
adapt to contemporary living requirements.<br />
Your outlook is spectacular and stretches east<br />
to west, giving you the best of the sun, while<br />
the partially enclosed balcony provides you<br />
with a protected platform to unwind outside<br />
in peace and privacy.<br />
The interior view is equally as impressive, with<br />
American White Oak flooring, considerable<br />
heating solutions, designer lighting and<br />
extensive glazing, giving you a clean and<br />
complimentary aesthetic.<br />
Taking centre stage upon the top floor is the<br />
exquisite open-plan living area with an<br />
in-built study nook which partners form<br />
with function in the most superb fashion.<br />
A statement stone island anchors the kitchen<br />
and is assisted by a scullery which benefits<br />
from a second sink and superb storage.<br />
Offering three sleek bathrooms and four<br />
bedrooms, the lion’s share of these occupy the<br />
top floor, including the exquisite master suite,<br />
which is a genuinely private retreat complete<br />
with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and<br />
balcony access.<br />
A versatile guest bedroom with an<br />
accompanying ensuite is settled on the<br />

22 <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News Wednesday <strong>September</strong> <strong>28</strong> <strong>2022</strong><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 />
