NEARLY 200 athletes from<br />

as far away as Auckland and<br />

Dunedin will be competing<br />

at Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> on Sunday,<br />

effectively ignoring a health<br />

warning the bay is “unsuitable<br />

for swimming” because of<br />

bacteria.<br />

The Canterbury Classic features<br />

an Olympic distance triathlon<br />

starting at 7.30am with<br />

a 1500-metre swim in the bay,<br />

followed by a 40km bike ride<br />

and a 10km run over the hills.<br />

It is part of the Triathlon NZ<br />

national series and a selection<br />

event for the world triathion<br />

championships.<br />

Event director John Newsom<br />

said numbers for the event are<br />

about 30 per cent down this<br />

year, and he worries the water<br />

grading may have deterred a few<br />

from entering.<br />

He said it was frustrating<br />

because “the testing consistently<br />

comes back showing bacteria is<br />

not even detectable. It’s like they<br />

have made their decision and<br />

they just don’t want to change it.”<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

has done weekly Enterococci<br />

(faecal) bacteria testing through<br />

<strong>January</strong> showing little or none<br />

present, while Te Whatu Ora<br />

(Health New Zealand) issues<br />

and lifts health warnings.<br />

Top Club<br />

members<br />

rally to<br />

reopen<br />

institution<br />

• By Tony Simons<br />

THE LYTTELTON Top Club is<br />

expected to open again this week<br />

after members accepted a plan<br />

to resurrect the 150-year-old<br />

institution.<br />

Less than a month ago the club<br />

announced it was closing, probably<br />

for good, but a “white knight”<br />

group of locals has stepped up to<br />

save it.<br />

The group – four members of<br />

the club with business experience<br />

– has taken over governance of<br />

the club.<br />

Spokesperson Dwayne Pool<br />

said the group put its rescue plan<br />

to members at a special general<br />

meeting earlier this month and it<br />

was accepted.<br />

The club’s committee, including<br />

president Jed O’Donoghue<br />

stepped down at that meeting.<br />

Said O’Donoghue: “We did not<br />

have a plan but this new group<br />

does, so I wish them the very best<br />

of luck.”<br />

Pool said the new governance<br />

group has worked with engineers<br />

and insurers to develop a<br />

maintenance and repair plan that<br />

has enabled the reopening.<br />

Flight sculpture will be owned by community<br />

MT PLEASANT residents have<br />

been reassured if they give money<br />

to help buy a Llew Summers<br />

bird-like bronze sculpture, they<br />

will own it.<br />

Last week <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />

reported a group of local residents<br />

had banded together to raise<br />

$95,000 to purchase Flight, which<br />

will be installed at the Mt Pleasant<br />

Community Centre and would<br />

be the first large bronze work by<br />

Summers to be owned by the city.<br />

Mt Pleasant Community Centre<br />

manager Derek McCullough said<br />

that may have put some people<br />

off. He has since clarified this,<br />

saying it will be owned by the Mt<br />

Pleasant Residents’ Association<br />

but installed on city council land<br />

at the centre.<br />

Some locals might be more<br />

inclined to donate knowing<br />

the work will not be owned<br />

by the city council, but by the<br />

community, said McCullough.<br />

Residents help police combat speedsters<br />

• By Tony Simons<br />

AN ORGANISED group of<br />

unofficial police intelligence<br />

gatherers has been formed in<br />

the Cass <strong>Bay</strong> – Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />

area to help police intercept<br />

drivers for ‘anti-social’ driving<br />

behaviour.<br />

It has contributed to nine<br />

different drivers and car owners<br />

being dealt with over the past<br />

five months for a number of<br />

driving offences, including doing<br />

burnouts and skids, as well as<br />

failing to give information to police.<br />

Several cars have also been<br />

impounded.<br />

The informal group was<br />

formed after a meeting<br />

between police, bay residents<br />

and community leaders about<br />

how best to deal with bad<br />

driver behaviour in the area,<br />

particularly between Lyttelton<br />

and Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

A member, Cass <strong>Bay</strong> resident<br />

Scott Adams, said he knew of<br />

six cars stopped near Rāpaki<br />

for excessive noise, which were<br />

probably intercepted as a result<br />

of information the group had<br />

provided.<br />

Sergeant Anna Partridge said<br />

it was a challenge putting a stop<br />

to speeding and noisy driving<br />

because police didn’t have the<br />

resources to patrol all the time<br />

and, by the time locals report an<br />

incident, the perpetrators have<br />

often moved on.<br />

The partnership<br />

with locals gathering<br />

information to send<br />

to police “helps us see<br />

patterns so we can take<br />

appropriate action” at the<br />

best times, she said.<br />

“We thank locals for<br />

their help, which has<br />

Anna<br />

Partridge<br />

allowed police to obtain<br />

sufficient evidence to<br />

impound and green sticker<br />

vehicles. (It’s) building<br />

trust and confidence with<br />

the local community.”<br />

Said Adams: “The boyracer<br />

problem has probably<br />

got worse since the Evans<br />

Pass to Lyttelton Rd was<br />

TEAM UP: An informal group of residents has formed to<br />

help police intercept anti-social drivers in the Cass <strong>Bay</strong> –<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> area.<br />

reopened and lockdown was<br />

lifted.”<br />

It was a problem all the way<br />

from Sumner to Lyttelton to<br />

Dyers Pass and Gebbies Pass,<br />

with drivers treating the roads<br />

like a race track, he said.<br />

Said Partridge: “The harbour<br />

basin also acts a bit like an<br />

auditorium, with driving<br />

noise amplified around the<br />

hills, making it a particular<br />

problem.”<br />

Police recognised the distress<br />

the behaviour caused the<br />

community and said the number<br />

of prosecutions sent a clear<br />

message that anti-social driving<br />

would not be tolerated.<br />

Several other vehicles have also<br />

been identified and are still<br />

being actively being sought by<br />

police.<br />

Anyone with information<br />

that could assist in identifying<br />

those involved can contact police<br />

on 105, or give information<br />

anonymously through Crime<br />

Stoppers on 0800 555 111. Police<br />

also welcome 111 calls.<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> grading<br />

‘wrong’ – swim coach<br />

• By Tony Simons<br />

CORSAIR BAY open water<br />

swimming coach Dan Abel has<br />

taken Environment Canterbury<br />

to task over the decision to<br />

grade the bay unsuitable for<br />

swimming, saying the grade<br />

is not fair and should be<br />

reassessed.<br />

Abel claims<br />

the public<br />

perception the<br />

bay is polluted<br />

is wrong.<br />

“ECan and<br />

Te Whatu Ora<br />

(Health New<br />

Dan Abel<br />

Zealand) have<br />

not followed<br />

all the water<br />

quality assessment guidelines,”<br />

he said.<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> was given a longterm<br />

‘unsuitable for swimming’<br />

grade in October after several<br />

water samples taken over the<br />

previous five years contained<br />

high levels of Enterococci<br />

(faecal) bacteria.<br />

Most of that was caused by<br />

rainfall according to Abel,<br />

but guidelines published by<br />

Ministry for the Environment<br />

– Manatū Mō Te Taiaomake<br />

specific reference to rainfall, how<br />

it can cause pollution in bays<br />

and how that should inform<br />

gradings. They have not been<br />

applied, Abel said.<br />

Rainfall is a known source<br />

of contamination at Corsair<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> and the guidelines state<br />

where agencies can predict<br />

contamination, they may<br />

intervene to deter use of the site,<br />

but may still grade the site to<br />

reflect the usual water quality.<br />

This can be done by removing<br />

rainfall events data before<br />

grading the site.<br />

“In all cases the water<br />

quality was good in the days<br />

immediately before samples<br />

were taken and the water quality<br />

took an average of just two days<br />

to return to normal,” said Abel.<br />

“The data should have been<br />

analysed with rain events<br />

removed.<br />

“If they had done that, Corsair<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> would have been given a<br />

‘good’ grading.”<br />

He said they could then have<br />

managed any temporary risk<br />

using better signage on the<br />

beach and car park, and with<br />

better communication.<br />

In response to Abel’s claims,<br />

ECan said tests taken after high<br />

rainfall are included in long-term<br />

assessments of water quality<br />

because, unlike rivers, swimmers<br />

aren’t usually deterred from<br />

getting in the water at such sites<br />

after heavy rainfall.<br />

Surface water science team<br />

leader Shirley Hayward said<br />

ECan can remove rainfallaffected<br />

data when it is clear<br />

rainfall is the primary reason for<br />

poor results and it’s obvious to<br />

those wanting to swim at the site<br />

that it has rained recently, but<br />

she said there are often no visible<br />

indicators of recent rainfall.<br />

As it is a question of human<br />

health, it makes it more difficult<br />

to justify removing rainfallaffected<br />

data from the long-term<br />

grade, she said.<br />

“This unpredictability around<br />

poor water quality is why we use<br />

long-term grading to assess the<br />

overall risk.”<br />

Abel has published his<br />

opinions and recommendations<br />

on his website (www.fitandabel.<br />

com) calling for locals and<br />

regular visitors to Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> to<br />

lobby ECan and councillors to<br />

get the bay reassessed.<br />

SIGNAGE: The last remaining health warning sign at Corsair<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>. Others in the car parks have allegedly been removed<br />

by a local resident. Below – the car park last Wednesday.<br />

Swimmers train<br />

despite public<br />

health warning<br />

• From page 1<br />

Swim coach Dan Abel has also<br />

organised private tests costing<br />

about $100 each using the same<br />

laboratory ECan uses.<br />

“We have done six tests<br />

through <strong>January</strong>, including a sediment<br />

test, and every one shows<br />

the water quality is superb,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And we have enough money<br />

pledged by the local swimming<br />

community to continue testing<br />

twice a week right though the<br />

summer.”<br />

Abel keeps running Wednesday<br />

evening training events at<br />

the bay. Last week nearly 100<br />

swimmers turned up. An ECan<br />

water quality test done the same<br />

day showed no faecal bacteria<br />

present.<br />

ECan said it followed environment<br />

and health ministry<br />

guidelines when it calculated, in<br />

October last year, that Corsair<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> should be graded unsuitable<br />

for swimming for the entire<br />

summer. It says the grading will<br />

not be reviewed until the end of<br />

the season.<br />

It does warn that water<br />

quality can change quickly after<br />

prolonged or heavy rain due to<br />

pollution run-off from the hills.<br />

If there is significant rain<br />

before Sunday, Newsom said the<br />

event has a back-up plan.<br />

“If necessary we would substitute<br />

the swim for a short run,” he<br />

said.<br />

The forecast for the weekend<br />

is for cloudy skies and<br />

northeasterlies.<br />

A COTTAGE built in the late-<br />

1800s by the inventor of Sure to<br />

Rise baking powder has sold for<br />

$520,000.<br />

The quaint<br />

property on<br />

Woolston,<br />

which is<br />

understood<br />

to have been<br />

Thomas<br />

Edmonds<br />

built for one<br />

of Thomas<br />

Edmonds’<br />

workers, has been purchased<br />

by a North Island art teacher<br />

who was drawn to its old-world<br />

cottage garden.<br />

OneRoof property records<br />

show the two-bedroom,<br />

one-bathroom home last sold<br />

for $140,000 in 2009. It has a<br />

2019 RV of $275,000. Interior<br />

designers lived in the home<br />

for more than a decade and<br />

during that time they carefully<br />

redecorated while being<br />

mindful of its cottage character.<br />

Ray White listing agent<br />

Rebecca Toone said the new<br />

owner will relocate with her<br />

daughter to start a new teaching<br />

job in Christchurch.<br />

“She just loved the gardens.”<br />

Toone said the property was<br />

definitely unique, especially<br />

with its rich history.<br />

“It is a quintessential quaint<br />

cottage.”<br />

After immigrating to New<br />

fLOOr COverinG<br />

BARGAINS<br />

Zealand, Thomas Edmonds set<br />

up a grocery store on what is<br />

now the corner of Edmonds and<br />

Randolph Sts.<br />

He moved the business to<br />

Ferry Rd – where part of the<br />

Edmonds Gardens remain – to<br />

increase production when his<br />

Sure to Rise baking powder<br />

became a success. Edmonds<br />

contributed significantly to<br />

the city’s architectural history,<br />

including the Theosophical<br />

Society building on Cambridge<br />

Tce and the Theosophical<br />

Society – both of which were<br />

damaged beyond repair in the<br />

earthquakes. Edmonds also<br />

built three cottages, but only<br />

this one remains.<br />

PLAN: Four members of the Lyttelton Top Club, all with<br />

business experience, have taken over its governance.<br />

Top solution for<br />

150-year-old club<br />

• From page 1<br />

The two-stage plan involves an<br />

up-to-date engineering design<br />

plan, to be completed at a much<br />

later date as and when funding<br />

permits, Pool said.<br />

The plan will need to be<br />

completed by 2032.<br />

“We have been in contact with<br />

all the club’s suppliers, and all<br />

are happy to continue supplying<br />

goods and services, so thank you<br />

to them all,” he said.<br />

“We have also made contact<br />

with all previously employed bar<br />

staff and given them first option<br />

on staff positions.”<br />

The Dublin St club had been<br />

running at a loss for most of the<br />

past 20 years, selling off assets<br />

to keep trading as membership<br />

continued to decline. Added to<br />

that, earthquake repairs which<br />

were supposed to have been<br />

completed years ago never were.<br />

In a newsletter to members<br />

Pool said “trust me when I say<br />

the four of us are very passionate<br />

about this club and its members.<br />

Thank you for your support and<br />

trust in us”.<br />

All-rounder gains valuable experience<br />

with scholarship and paid internship<br />

MONCKS BAY student Tom<br />

Jones applied for a scholarship<br />

from the Sumner-Ferrymead<br />

Foundation early last year.<br />

Tom had already completed<br />

his first year at Otago University,<br />

where he studied politics, economics<br />

and philosophy.<br />

He had done well in his first<br />

year, and he hopes to end up<br />

with a double degree in arts and<br />

economics.<br />

Tom estimated his course fees<br />

would be approximately $8–9000<br />

per annum and, to alleviate the<br />

financial load, he applied to the<br />

foundation for a scholarship.<br />

After submitting his application<br />

and suffering an<br />

interview with some trustees<br />

of the foundation (actually, the<br />

interview session is made as easy<br />

as possible and is not especially<br />

gruelling!)<br />

Tom won a scholarship for<br />

$<strong>25</strong>00. Better still, the scholarship<br />

came with a 10-week paid<br />

internship with SBS Wealth.<br />

Tom is now working for SBS<br />

Wealth over the summer holidays,<br />

being paid to gain experience<br />

and add to his CV.<br />

SBS Wealth is a subsidiary<br />

of SBS Bank – it is a financial<br />

advice provider and has been<br />

giving goals-based financial<br />

advice and managing funds for<br />

the last 20 years.<br />

As such, Tom will get a good<br />

look at the workings of a financial<br />

advice organisation, learn<br />

about funds management and<br />

possibly gain some insights into<br />

SBS Wealth’s parent organisation,<br />

SBS Bank. This may be<br />

invaluable when Tom graduates<br />

and starts to think about the<br />

direction of his future career.<br />

Tom Jones impressed the foundation<br />

trustees. He came with<br />

an excellent testimonial from his<br />

school where he did well scholastically,<br />

and in sport and<br />

drama – a good all-rounder.<br />

He did well in his first year at<br />

university.<br />

In 2022, Tom studied a wide<br />

range of subjects – microeconomics,<br />

intermediate chinese,<br />

interpreting business data, and<br />

more. This all-rounder should<br />

leave university with a broad<br />

education that could take him<br />

anywhere.<br />

As with most of the scholarships<br />

the Sumner-Ferrymead<br />

Foundation grants, Tom did not<br />

get his funding immediately. He<br />

had to wait until the end of the<br />

university year and show that he<br />

had passed his subjects (which<br />

he did).<br />

Another of these commerce<br />

scholarships is available now,<br />

along with a paid 10-week<br />

internship at SBS Wealth. In<br />

addition, there are scholarships<br />

available in most other academic<br />

fields.<br />

• Applications close on<br />

April 2, <strong>2023</strong> for all our<br />

academic and Outward<br />

Bound scholarships, as<br />

well as our Apprenticeship<br />

Award. Details can be found<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST<br />

Royal Navy comes to town<br />

THE BRITISH Royal Navy<br />

was key to the founding of<br />

the empire’s Australasian<br />

colonies – from Cook’s 1769<br />

circumnavigation of ‘Nieuw<br />

Zeeland’ to Captain Philip’s<br />

1788 founding of the Sydney<br />

Cove penal colony and Captain<br />

Hobson’s 1840 declaration of<br />

British sovereignty over New<br />

Zealand.<br />

From the start, the Royal Navy<br />

(RN) was the sole guarantor of<br />

naval security in Australasian<br />

waters, conducted extensive<br />

hydrographic surveys, and<br />

also served as the colonies’ law<br />

enforcement across a wide area<br />

of the South Pacific.<br />

RN commanders, being<br />

subordinate only to the British<br />

Admiralty, were the equals of<br />

colonial governors.<br />

For the colonial settlers, the<br />

RN was also a strong and visible<br />

connection to the motherland,<br />

an ‘imperial presence’, especially<br />

as the crews of RN ships were<br />

generally born in Britain, where<br />

the RN naval academies were<br />

located.<br />

In 1859, the empire’s Pacific<br />

presence was strengthened even<br />

further with the establishment<br />

of the RN Australia Station<br />

at Sydney <strong>Harbour</strong>’s Farm<br />

Cove, often referred to as the<br />

‘Australasia Station’ by New<br />

Zealand writers of the day.<br />

The station was assigned<br />

RN warships to form the<br />

Australasian Squadron<br />

responsible for securing the<br />

Crown’s colonial interests in the<br />

South Pacific theatre, from the<br />

equator to the Antarctic.<br />

Half a century later, in 1910,<br />

the Admiralty decided to<br />

disband the station and hand<br />

it over to the newly-formed<br />

Australian Commonwealth’s<br />

Royal Australian Navy.<br />

Vice-Admiral Sir George<br />

Fowler King-Hall, then 60 and<br />

nearing retirement, was chosen<br />

to be the last RN commander in<br />

chief of the Australasia Station.<br />

As C-in-C, the Vice-Admiral<br />

represented British imperial<br />

naval power and was second<br />

in authority only to the King’s<br />

viceroy, the governor-general.<br />

VIP: Officers from HMS Powerful, led by Vice-Admiral<br />

Sir George King-Hall, followed by his Flag-Captain<br />

(later Admiral) Edward F. Bruen, and accompanied by<br />

COLLECTION/1135973<br />

Known as an affable chap,<br />

King-Hall was quite well<br />

received by crew and colonials<br />

alike, although his Presbyterian<br />

teetotalism did cause some<br />

consternation.<br />

In November 1911, he set<br />

sail in the flagship of the<br />

Australasian Squadron, HMS<br />

Powerful, to review the Crown’s<br />

naval facilities across the<br />

Australian and New Zealand<br />

dominions.<br />

After arriving in Auckland<br />

on November 20, 1911, HMS<br />

Powerful made for Wellington<br />

on the 28th and on to Ōhinehou<br />

Lyttelton by December 5.<br />

Launched in 1895, she was<br />

a first-class protected cruiser<br />

of 14,100 gross tons, driven by<br />

<strong>25</strong>,000 horse-power coal-fired<br />

steam engines, and sporting 18<br />

guns.<br />

HEAT PUMP<br />

SALE NOW ON!<br />

Reportedly the largest cruiser<br />

ever launched at the time, this<br />

1911 cruise to Lyttelton was to<br />

be her last port of call in New<br />

Zealand before returning to the<br />

UK as a RN training ship.<br />

On anchoring in Whakaraupō<br />

Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>, about<br />

10.30am, Christchurch Mayor<br />

Mr J.J. Dougall, with the Mayor<br />

of Lyttelton Mr M.J. Miller and<br />

officials of the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

Board, went aboard to formally<br />

welcome his excellency. At<br />

2pm the C-in-C arrived on the<br />

Lyttelton wharf, accompanied<br />

by his Flag Captain (later<br />

Admiral) Edward F. Bruen and<br />

officers, being greeted by the<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>master, Captain A.H.<br />

Thorpe. The Vice-Admiral was in<br />

his finest dress uniform as he was<br />

on his way to meet with the New<br />

Zealand Governor Lord Islington<br />

and Christchurch dignitaries<br />

at the Rhodes’ residence ‘Te<br />

Koraha’ in Merivale.<br />

However, while in port<br />

King-Hall took time out to tour<br />

Captain Scott’s British Antarctic<br />

Expedition ship Terra Nova<br />

that was taking on supplies for<br />

the 1912 return journey, and<br />

was welcomed on board by RN<br />

Lieutenant Harry Pennell.<br />

It had also been hoped that<br />

the C-in-C, as Director of the<br />

British and Foreign Sailors<br />

Society, would be present for<br />

the laying of the foundation<br />

stone for the Lyttelton Seamen’s<br />

Institute at 2 Gladstone Quay<br />

on December 11. Unfortunately,<br />

after two days of formalities,<br />

duty called and Vice-Admiral<br />

King-Hall left Lyttelton on HMS<br />

Powerful bound for Sydney,<br />

late on December 6, 1911. He<br />

did, however, pen a letter of<br />

congratulation that was read out<br />

at the ceremony officiated by<br />

Lord Islington himself.<br />

Some eight decades later, this<br />

same Seamen’s Institute would<br />

become the Lyttelton Museum.<br />

Vice-Admiral King-Hall was<br />

promoted to Admiral in 1912,<br />

and with the hand-over of the<br />

command of the Australasia<br />

Station to the RAN Rear Admiral<br />

Patey on October 13, 1913, he<br />

returned to the UK.<br />

After an audience with the<br />

King at Buckingham Palace,<br />

Admiral Sir George King-Hall<br />

retired with honours and a<br />

healthy pension.<br />

Back in the Dominions, the<br />

New Zealand Naval Defence<br />

Act 1913 had created the<br />

New Zealand Naval Forces<br />

as a Division of the British<br />

Royal Navy initially under the<br />

command of its China Station<br />

and covering the SW Pacific.<br />

It was not until October<br />

1, 1941, with the creation of<br />

the Royal New Zealand Navy<br />

(RNZN), that New Zealand<br />

finally, albeit reluctantly, cut its<br />

old colonial ties with the British<br />

Royal Navy. Prime Minister<br />

Peter Fraser, while accepting<br />

the change in command,<br />

commented that “now was not<br />

the time to break away from the<br />

old country.”<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>leys expands, opens Sumner office<br />

BAYLEYS Canterbury has<br />

expanded its presence in the<br />

wider <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News area<br />

with the recent opening of the<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>leys Sumner office, located<br />

right in the heart of Sumner<br />

Village at 6A Wakefield Ave.<br />

The new site joins the <strong>Bay</strong>leys<br />

offices in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> and<br />

Akaroa, looking after homeowners<br />

living – or wishing to<br />

live – in any of these desirable<br />

locations.<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>leys Canterbury has identified<br />

Sumner, Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

and Akaroa as being of strategic<br />

importance as it continues<br />

to expand the footprint of its<br />

full-service real estate offering.<br />

According<br />

to <strong>Bay</strong>leys<br />

Canterbury<br />

general manager<br />

of sales Rachel<br />

Dovey, “we have<br />

been keeping a<br />

close eye on the<br />

Rachel<br />

Dovey<br />

markets in these<br />

areas”.<br />

“REINZ<br />

shows the number<br />

of sales has decreased across<br />

the board. Whilst this has resulted<br />

in some value dropping out of<br />

the market, we can also see that,<br />

importantly, both the average<br />

sales price and the median sales<br />

price have increased.<br />

“This confirms the enduring<br />

appeal of these areas and why it<br />

is critical for <strong>Bay</strong>leys Canterbury<br />

to have a physical presence in<br />

each.”<br />

From a Sumner point of view,<br />

the seaside and hill suburbs of<br />

Sumner, Taylor’s Mistake, Redcliffs,<br />

Mt Pleasant and Heathcote<br />

are sought after for their beauty<br />

and lifestyle. Approximately <strong>25</strong><br />

minutes’ drive from downtown<br />

Christchurch, this area offers<br />

a wonderful respite from the<br />

bustling city centre.<br />

While many houses were<br />

damaged in the earthquakes, the<br />

area is now a wonderful mix of<br />

new contemporary residential<br />

homes built with empathy for<br />

the stunning waterfront location,<br />

and some fantastically restored<br />

classic character homes.<br />

Demand for quality properties<br />

in this area is always strong and<br />

consistent. Information from<br />

price for the last 12 months<br />

has increased by 13 per cent to<br />

$1,159,000 – this is despite both<br />

the market and the value of<br />

transactions reducing by 16 per<br />

cent.<br />

The Sumner office is well<br />

looked after by a team of six<br />

experienced licensed sales professionals<br />

– Marilyn Still, Rosie<br />

Petronelli, David Archibald,<br />

Frank Brookes, Adan Soroka and<br />

Sara Ashcroft.<br />

Meanwhile, Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

is only 40 minutes’ drive from<br />

Christchurch city. A peaceful<br />

community, it offers a slice of<br />

paradise for about 1600 permanent<br />

residents.<br />

This waterfront community<br />

remains highly sought after with<br />

residents and weekenders alike<br />

GROWTH: <strong>Bay</strong>leys<br />

Canterbury has opened<br />

an office in Sumner (left),<br />

extending its presence in<br />

the bay area. Above – the<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> office.<br />

enjoying the seaside location.<br />

House values and the corresponding<br />

interest in this region<br />

have grown significantly over<br />

the last five years. The median<br />

asking price has increased by 40<br />

per cent to $770,000 over the last<br />

year alone. The average sale price<br />

is $729,000 – a lift of 58 per cent<br />

when compared year-on-year.<br />

The <strong>Bay</strong>leys team at Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>, Peter and Lynette<br />

Hughan, are long-time residents<br />

and firm supporters of several<br />

community initiatives. Maree<br />

Firth, a more recent arrival to the<br />

area, is just as passionate about<br />

living and working in Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

Approximately 90km from<br />

Christchurch is the picturesque<br />

town of Akaroa, where you will<br />

find the third <strong>Bay</strong>leys office.<br />

Akaroa remains one of the most<br />

popular waterfront locations in<br />

proximity to Christchurch, with<br />

the French influence providing<br />

charm and character to this<br />

tightly held area.<br />

Last year was a strong and<br />

confident year from a value<br />

point of view – the average sale<br />

price was up by 12 per cent<br />

to $1,012,064 and the median<br />

asking price was up $780,000,<br />

9.5 per cent for the year. This is<br />

contrasted with the total number<br />

of sales decreasing (-34 per cent)<br />

as well as the total value of transactions<br />

falling too (-26 per cent).<br />

The wider Banks Peninsula<br />

area is well serviced by a team<br />

of four – Rob Berry, Chris<br />

Mangels, Phillipa Linton and<br />

Tracey Nixon. Rob and Chris<br />

reside in Akaroa while Tracey<br />

and Phillipa live in Duvauchelle<br />

– providing a unique perspective<br />

on the magic of living in Banks<br />

Peninsula and a thorough<br />

understanding of the property<br />

available.<br />

The entire <strong>Bay</strong>leys <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> team are experienced<br />

marketers of coastal and hillside<br />

homes. They can help you sell<br />

and lease commercial property<br />

and can also provide property<br />

management services. The teams<br />

can help you tap into the massive<br />

$60k to make sure youngsters<br />

‘reach their potential’ on court<br />

TENNIS Canterbury has been<br />

granted $60,000 to get more<br />

people playing the sport.<br />

General manager Bevan<br />

Johns said the grant will allow<br />

the organisation to focus on<br />

participation and development<br />

initiatives to ensure young<br />

talented players “reach their<br />

potential at all levels.”<br />

“Tennis Canterbury delivers<br />

services to over 7000 members<br />

and a further<br />

30,000-plus<br />

participants<br />

in various<br />

programmes<br />

and casual<br />

participation<br />

Bevan<br />

opportunities.”<br />

The funding<br />

from New Zealand<br />

Johns<br />

Community Trust aims to keep<br />

participation costs down and<br />

remove barriers to participation,<br />

Johns said.<br />

“Tennis Canterbury is about<br />

making it easy for everyone to<br />

discover or re-discover tennis<br />

and to help our players find<br />

enjoyment through tennis for<br />

life.”<br />

The grant will help the<br />

organisation run its beginner<br />

hotshots programme and<br />

get juniors to national and<br />

international competitions.<br />

“During the current season we<br />

trialled the first iteration of the<br />

Canterbury player development<br />

programme in preparation for<br />

the annual national teams event.<br />

The region’s top six girls and six<br />

boys in the 12U, 14U and 17U<br />

age groups got together weekly<br />

to practice and prepare for the<br />

event. Training included doubles<br />

strategy, mental preparation,<br />

fitness and nutrition planning.”<br />

The grant will help Canterbury<br />

players like Lucia Gale who<br />

won the national under-14 title,<br />

beating fellow Cantabrian Dallas<br />

King-Ehau in the final. Lucia<br />

also took out the doubles title<br />

and competed at the under-16<br />

nationals where she won the<br />

doubles.<br />

Alvin Na won the under-12<br />

boys singles and doubles final,<br />

while Aliyah Daly won the<br />

under-12 girls doubles.<br />

TALENT:<br />

The grant<br />

will help<br />

young tennis<br />

players,<br />

including<br />

Lucia Gale<br />

(above) who<br />

won the<br />

national<br />

under-14 title.<br />

Five Canterbury players,<br />

including Lucia, took part in the<br />

national teams competition in<br />

Australia last year.<br />

The funding will go towards<br />

the New Zealand regional<br />

programme for 11 to 14-yearolds,<br />

run by coach Stuart<br />

Chalmers at Wilding Park.<br />

It brings the best players in<br />

Canterbury together to train<br />

with experts in strength and<br />

conditioning and other aspects<br />

of the game. Said Chalmers:<br />

“This programme ensures<br />

opportunities for our junior<br />

players to train together. We<br />

are now looking to extend it<br />

for players in the 15-plus age<br />

bracket. We need to keep these<br />

young talented players in the<br />

game.”<br />

Tennis Canterbury also has<br />

a strong wheelchair tennis<br />

community. Travis Moffat won<br />

the recent national singles title<br />

and Glenn Barnes was runnerup.<br />

The two went on to win the<br />

doubles championship. Seniors<br />

tennis is also strong in the region<br />

and there are programmes for<br />

players in the Tongan tennis<br />

community.<br />

With more than 500 juniors<br />

and 550 adults competing in<br />

summer interclub across the<br />

region, Tennis Canterbury relies<br />

on its small number of staff and<br />

network of clubs, coaches and<br />

volunteers to grow the game.<br />

All these eventualities have<br />

will remain in the vanguard of<br />

these climate change efforts.<br />

One example is the $40 million<br />

Waimakariri River flood<br />

late last year. The network of<br />

floodgates and stopbanks will<br />

protect half a million people and<br />

$8 billion of community and<br />

business assets from a possible<br />

According to a Madworld report<br />

in 2019, our gross emissions were<br />

2<strong>25</strong>3 tonnes of carbon dioxide<br />

(CO2) equivalent, compared with<br />

removals of 7883 tonnes of CO2-<br />

equivalent through our efficiency<br />

efforts and from forestry planting<br />

across 2700 hectares.<br />

The changing climate will pose<br />

many risks to life and livelihood<br />

in Canterbury. In recent years<br />

we have seen how occasional,<br />

but extreme, weather events have<br />

had huge effects on residents and<br />

infrastructure around the South<br />

Island.<br />

The driest parts of our region,<br />

along the Marlborough coast and<br />

across much of the Canterbury<br />

Plains, are expected to get even<br />

drier. North-westerly storms are<br />

predicted to become more intense,<br />

Wetlands are also ecosystems<br />

at-risk nationally and regionally,<br />

and diversion affecting their<br />

ability to sequester carbon,<br />

With biosecurity, we are<br />

putting greater emphasis on the<br />

risks of new pests establishing<br />

in Canterbury. Warming<br />

More broadly, we have to<br />

find environmentally suitable<br />

alternatives, such as electricity and<br />

our productive and protected land<br />

spread of new, exotic weeds and<br />

pests from warmer climates.<br />

All these eventualities have<br />

to be planned and prepared for,<br />

and Environment Canterbury<br />

will remain in the vanguard of<br />

these climate change efforts.<br />

One example is the $40 million<br />

Waimakariri River flood<br />

protection project, completed<br />

late last year. The network of<br />

floodgates and stopbanks will<br />

protect half a million people and<br />

$8 billion of community and<br />

business assets from a possible<br />

“super flood”.<br />

The last major flood was in<br />

December 1957, when parts<br />

of Coutts Island in Belfast and<br />

Kainga were swamped by river<br />

flow peaking at 3990 cubic<br />

metres per second (cumecs).<br />

The protection scheme has been<br />

designed to defend Christchurch<br />

from a flood of as much as 6500<br />

cumecs.<br />

Environment Canterbury’s<br />

leadership of biodiversity and<br />

biosecurity programmes is also<br />

underpinned by climate-change<br />

concerns.<br />

Canterbury’s distinct braided<br />

rivers and unique wetlands face<br />

many challenges. The rivers form<br />

a vital ecological link and provide<br />

an abundant food supply and<br />

nesting grounds for 26 species of<br />

native birds – most classified as<br />

OPINION 15<br />

What’s the deal with our popular swim spots?<br />

threatened and facing increased<br />

pressures due to river system<br />

change.<br />

Wetlands are also ecosystems<br />

at-risk nationally and regionally,<br />

degraded by draining, damming<br />

and diversion affecting their<br />

More broadly, we have to<br />

curb reliance on fossil fuels and<br />

find environmentally suitable<br />

alternatives, such as electricity and<br />

hydrogen, to power our public<br />

transport.<br />

When my predecessor Steve<br />

Lowndes retired as chair of<br />

this council late last year, he<br />

highlighted some of the big<br />

changes on the way. He was<br />

optimistic we would be able to<br />

deal with the “pressing issues” of<br />

climate change and sustainability.<br />

I share his confidence. As a<br />

community, and as a council,<br />

we are taking some bold steps to<br />

ensure we are in a better place to<br />

cope with the changing climate<br />

and the tests it will set us. But<br />

there will always be a need to do<br />

more.<br />

Electric limousine from Mercedes-Benz<br />

I’M WONDERING if there is<br />

any end to the way technology<br />

is developing, especially so with<br />

electric vehicles.<br />

Take the Mercedes-Benz AMG<br />

EQS 53 for example, it has an<br />

onboard presence that would<br />

keep an astronaut happy. There<br />

are a multitude of specification<br />

features, it has a function for<br />

almost everything imaginable –<br />

especially for safety.<br />

Well, you would expect that,<br />

the EQS 53 lists at $310,900 in<br />

standard form, you can upsec it as<br />

well and if you go the whole hog<br />

you’ll deplete your bank balance<br />

to the tune of around $360,000.<br />

In true Mercedes-Benz S-Class<br />

fashion there are few equals on<br />

the road that have as much kit,<br />

and from the moment you sit in<br />

the driver’s seat you’ll be blown<br />

away with the space age look<br />

and feel of the interior, there are<br />

gadgets, buttons and displays<br />

everywhere.<br />

The digital dash panel<br />

extends across the width of the<br />

car, although the information<br />

graphics are only visible on the<br />

left hand side when there’s a<br />

passenger. However, the driver<br />

gets enough information to keep<br />

him/her occupied for every<br />

journey, the depth beneath<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

IT WAS OCTOBER 1988 and I<br />

had just boarded a flight back to<br />

Christchurch after fuelling my<br />

motorsport passion, spending a<br />

day watching the Nissan/Mobil<br />

500 Wellington Street Race.<br />

I had the window seat and<br />

was waiting for the remaining<br />

passengers, it was a full flight and<br />

the overhead lockers were packed<br />

with carry-on luggage.<br />

The two<br />

vacant seats<br />

beside me were<br />

eventually<br />

filled by Trevor<br />

Crowe and his<br />

partner Colleen,<br />

Crowe<br />

was holding a<br />

decent-sized<br />

cup, the one he earned that day<br />

from a third place finish and<br />

class win in a Group A BMW<br />

M3, sharing the drive with Mark<br />

Thatcher, son of British Prime<br />

Minister Margaret Thatcher. The<br />

cup wouldn’t fit in the overhead<br />

locker so I offered to store it for<br />

the journey under the seat in<br />

front of me; Crowe was grateful.<br />

It wasn’t the first time I had<br />

met Crowe, I’d not long been<br />

evaluating motor vehicles for<br />

review and only weeks previously<br />

I had driven a turbocharged<br />

Skoda 120L that Crowe and<br />

his workshop technicians had<br />

modified for performance<br />

benefits.<br />

the graphics and controls is<br />

enormous. The only thing<br />

missing in the big S-Class EV is a<br />

chauffeur.<br />

Mercedes-Benz is exploring the<br />

future of the way we travel, and I<br />

guess being at the forefront of that<br />

technology will hold the company<br />

in good stead as EVs take control<br />

of our car buying decisions.<br />

The EQS 53 is powered by dual<br />

motors – one at the front and one<br />

at the rear – they have combined<br />

power output of 484kW with<br />

a colossal 950Nm of torque<br />

available from zero revolutions.<br />

Add in a 107.8kWh battery pack<br />

and you have the ingredients for<br />

power, acceleration and, more<br />

importantly, distance to travel<br />

between charges.<br />

Mercedes-Benz claims up to<br />

587km on a full charge. It would<br />

take around 60min to fast charge<br />

to 80 per cent from a designated<br />

charge port. In terms of charging<br />

from my home – well that’s a<br />

different story, such is the volume<br />

of energy that can be stored it’s<br />

simply not practical to try to<br />

charge from domestic supply; it<br />

would take a couple of days to<br />

charge from zero to 100 per cent.<br />

That being the case, a wall box<br />

or a three-phase system would<br />

be the most suitable method<br />

Crowe and I got talking again<br />

on that flight and, as astute as<br />

ever, he noticed that I wasn’t<br />

overly comfortable as the aircraft<br />

descended through turbulence<br />

into a Canterbury nor’wester, his<br />

words I still cling to today when<br />

I’m flying and bumps are prevalent:<br />

“It’s all right, Ross, it will just<br />

fly through it!’’<br />

Of course, the news of that day<br />

was his performance in the street<br />

race, he and Thatcher punched<br />

well above their weight only to<br />

be beaten by some of the greatest<br />

names in world motorsport –<br />

formula one driver Emanuele<br />

Pirro and world touring car<br />

champion Roberto Ravaglia,<br />

MERCEDES-BENZ AMG EQS 53: Large luxury sedan that is<br />

solely powered by batteries and electric motors.<br />

domestically. Thankfully, such is<br />

the distance you get to travel on<br />

a full tank – figuratively speaking<br />

– I only had to make one fast<br />

charge and that was completed<br />

in good time while my wife and I<br />

carried out our weekly Pak’nSave<br />

grocery shop.<br />

Of course, all of the above<br />

relates to how you drive the EQS<br />

53, if you are throttle heavy you<br />

won’t get the distance, but the<br />

figures are still very impressive.<br />

So are those of its acceleration,<br />

Mercedes-Benz claims a 3.8sec<br />

standstill to 100km/h time. That’s<br />

about as quick as in any other<br />

car I’ve driven, launch from a<br />

standstill is simply amazing, the<br />

energy is instant and without any<br />

lag, the force will hold you back<br />

in your seat and, of course, all<br />

passengers. It’s a performance car<br />

of true genius, if only there were<br />

roads in New Zealand where you<br />

can explore its potential.<br />

I guess the unrestricted roads<br />

in Europe will allow some sort<br />

and Australian ex-formula one<br />

driver Larry Perkins and former<br />

F1 world champion Denny<br />

Hulme. As history has served<br />

to prove, the third place finish<br />

paved the way for Crowe’s win<br />

in the Asia-Pacific Touring Car<br />

Championship that year.<br />

of freedom, but for here it’s a<br />

temptation that would constantly<br />

need to be curbed.<br />

I took the test car inland west and<br />

enjoyed its silence and comfort.<br />

It has all those pacifying features<br />

that come in luxury cars, yet you<br />

always sense it wants to break free<br />

and deliver a performance drive. Of<br />

course, there are drive modes that<br />

can moderate the behaviour of the<br />

motors or liven them up in sport<br />

mode, but the reality is the EQS 53<br />

has performance that needs to be<br />

tamed.<br />

Pointed at some tricky corners<br />

you need to bear in mind<br />

that there is a lot of bulk and<br />

weight in the car. At 5.3m and<br />

2721kg it’s a big machine, but<br />

it is delicate underneath and<br />

extremely competent. Huge 21in<br />

Michelin tyres stick like glue<br />

and provide surety. Turn-in is<br />

precise, and body movement is<br />

minimal. A lot of the weight is<br />

carried underneath the seats and<br />

at just 1.5m tall there isn’t a lot<br />

That and Crowe’s long and<br />

illustrious motorsport career<br />

have all been documented in a<br />

new book – As the Crowe Flies,<br />

the Trevor Crowe Story. Written<br />

by well-known motoring and<br />

motorsport writer Steve Holmes,<br />

the book chronicles Crowe and<br />

the multitude of cars he has built,<br />

developed and raced throughout<br />

the years, and still does even into<br />

his late 70s.<br />

Not only does the book share<br />

chapters on Crowe’s hill climb,<br />

rallying and circuit and boat<br />

racing career, it shares his secrets<br />

to good health, which is important<br />

to keep mentally alert and<br />

physically capable while at the<br />

of gravitational force working<br />

against balance and composure.<br />

Most of all, though, is the ease<br />

at which the big AMG-inspired<br />

limousine travels. Even with all<br />

of its power it is easy to drive<br />

at all speeds, during my stopstart<br />

commute it dawdles with<br />

little indication of what fury lies<br />

underneath.<br />

What’s more it is very much<br />

Mercedes-Benz-like in terms<br />

of how it functions and the<br />

ergonomics are such that all<br />

occupants are cocooned in<br />

luxury. It must also be mentioned<br />

that the EQS 53 drives silently at<br />

all speeds. Sure, there are sounds<br />

through the air and off the big<br />

tyres but they aren’t dramatic,<br />

it is uncannily quiet and an<br />

experience to saviour.<br />

Mercedes-Benz isn’t putting its<br />

eggs all in one basket, there are<br />

hybrid options and at this stage<br />

plenty of petrol-only models in<br />

the line-up. I’m due to drive a<br />

plug-in hybrid soon, and if it is<br />

anything like the quality of the<br />

EQS 53 then I’m surely in for<br />

another treat.<br />
