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 />

<strong>Bay</strong>. Others in the car parks have allegedly been removed<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 />
Edmonds St,<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 />

and Kelly<br />
McNamara<br />
of FANZ –<br />
SBS Wealth. <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 />

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 />
REINZ shows the average sale<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 />

$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 />

One example is the $40 million<br />

late last year. The network of<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 />

(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 />

ability to sequester carbon,<br />
cleanse freshwater and mitigate<br />
flooding, as well as impacting on<br />

With biosecurity, we are<br />
putting greater emphasis on the<br />
risks of new pests establishing<br />
in Canterbury. Warming<br />
temperatures, changing soils and<br />

better foothold across the region.<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 />
ability to sequester carbon,<br />

better foothold across the region.<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 />

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 />
