SailGP racing to 

stop if dolphins 

spotted 

• By Tony Simons 

SAILGP RACE organisers will 

now rely on sighting hector’s 

dolphins to keep them safe 

during next month’s racing on 

Lyttelton Harbour. 

A decision not to use a 

deterrent device means the 

mammals will now be free 

to swim where they like, and 

racing will be called off if they 

are seen or heard anywhere near 

the racecourse and high speed 

catamarans. 

Organisers are employing 

several detection strategies 

focusing on four zones in 

the harbour, stretching from 

the harbour mouth to the 

racecourse. 

The SailGP Marine Mammal 

Management Plan states if 

dolphins are detected in zone 

four, 

the 

nearest 

zone to the 

racecourse, 

the boats will be ordered to 

stop.

Water grading assessment rethink likely 


A NEW approach by 

Environment Canterbury as to 

how long-term water quality 

grades are assigned at swim sites 

around Lyttelton seems likely, 

after it has agreed to change the 

way it models sites for swimming 

suitability. 

ECan science 

team leader Shirley 

Hayward said it is 

possible predictive 

modelling might 

also change the way 

Shirley 

Hayward 

long-term swim 

grades for the bays 

are assessed, to take 

into account predictable rainfall-driven 

contamination. 

It comes after considerable 

public pressure over how ECan 

grades swimming sites longterm, 

particularly at popular 

sites like Corsair Bay and Cass 

Bay. 

Corsair Bay was graded 

“unsuitable for swimming” 

for the entire summer because 

of high bacteria readings over 

the past five years – many of 

those readings coinciding with 

high rainfall. However, testing 

through January this year 

showed the water quality was 

good to excellent. 

In a report due to be presented 

to ECan’s water and land 

committee today, science team 

leader Shirley Hayward said “in 

response to concerns raised by 

the community this summer, we 

will investigate a new approach 

whereby rainfall-affected results 

can be predicted”. 

“We will look at new ways to 

communicate the public health 

risks adequately to the community,” 

Hayward said. 

This will include consistent 

messaging, including signage, of 

those risks. 

Staff will also continue with 

faecal source tracking and other 

investigations to try to find 

out why sites have degraded, 

Hayward said. 

The suggested change in 

approach will rely on other organisations, 

such as Community 

and Public Health Te Mana Ora 

agreeing, she said. 

The grading issue came into 

focus again last Wednesday 

when 21mm of rain fell around 

the Port Hills, washing faecal 

bacteria into the sea. 

Te Mana Ora immediately 

issued a health warning for most 

of Banks Peninsula, which was 

lifted on Monday.

Rakiura 

The wild landscapes of Stewart Island by 

Rob Brown 

Stewart Island/Rakiura is an island that is increasingly cherished 

by New Zealanders, whose appreciation for its wild character 

has flourished in recent years. This revised edition of Rakiura, the 

work of leading landscape photographer Rob Brown, was first 

published in 2006. Critically acclaimed at the time, his original 

large-format photographs remain as powerful as ever, while more 

recent photographs have been added along with an updated, and 

newly illustrated introduction, which covers the natural and human 

history of the island, and the inspiring efforts to restore the island’s 

wildlife. This book is a stunning momento for visitors and everyone 

interested in Rakiura.

Tails of Tangleby Gardens 

by Sue Heazlewood, illustrated by Jane Smith 

What a delight for families with children! Tails of Tangleby Gardens combines a 

whimsical story with 40 recipes suitable for children to make. 

We follow the story of two newly married rabbits, Montgomery and Marmalade, 

who have to escape their cosy warren in Christchurch when it is demolished by 

a big yellow digger. They are forced to move from the city and start a new life 

elsewhere. Along the way, they encounter friends and many adventures, and in 

every part of the story, Marmalade shares her recipes.. 

Tails of Tangleby Gardens is a unique and enchanting book. The story has a gentle, 

magical quality, and the recipes are graded from very easy, to easy, to some skill 

required, so suitable for young cooks of different abilities. There is even a QR code 

that can be downloaded, but I actually like the idea of the book being used in the 

kitchen, even if it does end up with a bit of food on it!

Wilson Sisters Adventures: Shyla, the 

Snowy Brumby 

by Kelly Wilson & Nina Sutherland 

A brand new equestrian series for fans of the bestselling Showtym Adventures! 

Can Nina help the Wilson sisters tame a wild Brumby into a child’s dream pony? 

All ten-year-old Nina has ever dreamed of is working with ponies. When the renowned 

horsewoman Kelly Wilson invites her to help tame a wild pony for the Australian 

Brumby Challenge, Nina has to pinch herself to believe it. She and Shyla swiftly form 

a close bond, but all the time Nina knows that the little Brumby is destined for auction, 

and the dream pony she has worked so hard to train will go to another child. 

Nina’s wild pony adventure will take her to Australia’s Snowy Mountains and back — 

but will she get the chance to have a wild Brumby of her own? 

From the author of the bestselling Showtym Adventures, this novel is inspired by the 

Wilson sisters’ exciting true experiences with wild horses. 

Birnam Wood 

by Eleanor Catton 

Birnam Wood is on the move ... A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in the 

South Island of New Zealand, cutting off the town of Thorndike, leaving a sizable farm 

abandoned. This land offers an opportunity to Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening 

collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. But they hadn’t figured on the 

enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the place. 

Can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each 

other? A gripping thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, 

Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. A 

brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences, it is an unflinching 

examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival. 

China After Mao - The Rise of a 

Superpower 

By Frank Dikoetter 

‘A leading historian of modern China. He is a rare scholar, adept in both Russian and 

Chinese . . . Combined with this linguistic skill, Dikoetter has a writer’s gift’ EVENING 

STANDARD From the Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author of Mao’s Great Famine, a 

timely and compelling account of China in the wake of Chairman Mao In China After 

Mao, award-winning historian Frank Dikoetter explores how the People’s Republic 

of China was transformed from a backwater economy in the 1970s into the world 

superpower of today. His account is the first to be based on hundreds of previously 

unseen archival documents, from the secret minutes of top party meetings to confidential 

bank reports. Unfolding with great narrative sweep, this riveting, richly detailed chronicle 

recasts our understanding of an era that both the regime and foreign admirers celebrate 

as an economic miracle. Ultimately, the book concludes, the communist party’s goal 

was never to join the democratic sphere, but to resist it - and then defeat it.

inspires reunion 


While much of the events industry was shut 

down through the peak of the Covid-19 

pandemic the Sea2Sky Challenge managed 

to navigate through the guidelines better 

than most holding events in late 2020 along 

with 2021 and 2022. The event returns on 

March 12th for the eighth edition without 

the restrictions of the last few years. With 

individual and team triathlon, duathlon and 

trail run options for juniors (5 years and up) 

through to Masters of 80+ years there is 

something for everyone. “In the last few years 

we’ve had to split the event into groups of 

100, tell spectators to stay away, mask up 

along with other measures. It’s going to be 

awesome to welcome everyone back this 

year to finish the kiwi summer in style” says 

event director John Newsom. 

SUMNER SCHOOL pupils from 

the 1960s reunited on Saturday 

thanks to the efforts of a former 

student. 

Kathryn Perks, who now lives 

in Hawke’s Bay, used to attend 

the school, and after visiting her 

old stomping grounds last year 

was inspired to organise a reunion 

for her former classmates. 

“I looked at old class photos 

from 1962 to 1968, then tried 

to contact as many as I could 

through social media and Google. 

I even tried the White Pages,” 

she said. 

Some proved impossible to 

find because their names had 

changed but, in the end, she 

tracked down 28 – and 19 of

sent messages, memories and

The Beach was a fitting venue 

for the reunion. “I remember

said Perks. “It’s one of 

the few landmark buildings still 

standing in the village so it had 

special significance for all of us.

Measures in place to locate dolphins 

•From page 1 

Once racing has stopped, a 

SailGP spokesperson said the 

yachts “will simply wait until (the 

dolphins) leave”. 

In zones one or two, dolphins 

will be reported and tracked. If 

they are in zone three, racing will 

be delayed. 

SailGP is experienced with the 

issues and understands the risk, 

the spokesperson said. 

A key detection strategy will 

include trained dolphin observers 

and volunteers, stationed along 

both sides of the harbour and in 

boats, looking out for dolphins. 

Experts say they may locate some 

of the dolphins but not all of 

them due to difficulty seeing the 

mammals at any distance, particularly 

if the water is choppy. 

A second detection measure 

will see a drone with artificial 

intelligence 

criss-cross the 

harbour. 

However, 

the drone can’t 

be used when 

the boats are 

racing because 

of broadcast 

Matt Pine 

interference. It 

will scan and 

photograph 

the surface before and after the 

sailing sessions. 

Real-time acoustic monitoring,

hydrophones attached to buoys 

in the harbour, will operate just 

east of the racing zone. They will 

monitor continuously for the 

echo-location of dolphins. 

Underwater acoustic expert 

Dr Matt Pine was consulted on 

the MMMP and has now been 

employed to do the listening. 

He said the devices can pick up 

dolphins pinging, or echo-locating, 

up to a few hundred metres 

away, depending on how noisy 

they are. 

“We expect in murky waters 

like Lyttelton Harbour and in 

busy environments, they will be 

echo-locating most of the time,” 

Pine said. 

However, dolphin expert 

Professor Liz Slooten, formerly 

with the Zoology Department at 

Otago University, disagreed. 

“He (Pine) is wrong,” she said. 

“When there is lots of noise it 

makes more sense for a dolphin 

to listen using its ears, because 

sound carries much further than 

echo-location. The dolphins may 

simply turn their echo-location 

off,” she said. 

SailGP and ChristchurchNZ 

will also be relying on spectators

and race officials to report 

dolphin sightings. 

We are not relying on any

said race organisers.

Budge said: 

“Based on the

Conservation) 

and other 

experts, we 

maintain full 

confidence in 

the efficacy of 

the plan.”

NEWS 


A MEMBER of the team that 

came up with a plan to protect 

hector’s dolphins during next 

month’s SailGP has revealed they 

wrestled with their conscience 

and considered resigning from 

the group. 

Many experts and stakeholders 

were consulted over the Marine 

Mammal Management Plan, 

including Te Hapū o Ngāti 

Wheke Rāpaki, the Department 

of Conservation, Environment 

Canterbury and university 

marine specialists. 

One expert has now told Bay 

Harbour News they seriously 

considered opting out, in part 

because they were required to 

sign a confidentiality agreement. 

The expert said they had a real 

problem with being gagged, 

given the plan to hold the event 

in a dolphin sanctuary was so 

much in the public interest. 

Once it was clear the SailGP 

event was going ahead, members 

of the group had to decide 

whether they were in or out, the 

expert said. 

“Sometimes it is better to stay 

in so you have some influence, so 

I stayed in.” 

Significant redactions were 

made to the plan before it was 

released by ChristchurchNZ in 

December last year. 

An un-redacted version was 

leaked to Bay Harbour News 

last week. It showed SailGP 

organisers intended to use a 

controversial acoustic deterrent 

device to keep dolphins off the 

racecourse. Organisers believed 

the device would “help to protect 

dolphins from the risk of vessel 

strike, which is very likely to be 

fatal”. However, the device was 

later dropped when it became 

clear no one knew how hector’s 

dolphins might react to it. 

When ChristchurchNZ 

announced in early 2021 the 

international sailing event was 

coming to Lyttelton, it was 

described as a massive coup. 


Expert considered resigning over SailGP plan 

New Zealand team member 

Peter Burling said at the time 

“we can’t wait to start racing 

and sharing our Live Ocean 

conservation message along the 

way”. 

Work started on the 

MMMP soon after. 

Said the expert: “I think 

the final version of the 

MMMP is probably not 

far from the best you can 

do, if you’ve already made 

a very bad decision to hold 

the race in a completely 

inappropriate place.” 

Dolphin researcher, 

retired Otago Professor of 

Liz Slooten 

Zoology, Liz Slooten, said there 

are likely to be up to 30 dolphins 

in the harbour every day in 

March. Many will have calves 

with them, so they will be slower 

and reluctant to dive deep. 

The F50 catamarans will 

also be practising at high 

speeds in the day or days 

preceding the event. The 

expert said this is where 

the real danger to dolphins 

lies, because the MMMP 

designates ‘free practice’ 

areas across most of the 

harbour. 

SailGP organisers did 

not respond to a request by Bay 

PLAN: One of the 

two hydrophones (AI 

programmed acoustic 

listening devices) 

that will be moored 

in Lyttelton Harbour 

to listen for dolphins 

during SailGP racing. 

Harbour News, asking what 

specific measures would be taken 

to protect dolphins during the 

practice sessions. 

Slooten said hector’s dolphins 

have never interacted with these 

types of high speed vessels 

before. 

“Two huge blades silently 

slicing through the water at 100 

km/h; the dolphins will never 

have experienced anything like 

this, the foils or the speeds with 

which they will be moving. (It’s) 

a similar experience to a remote 

rainforest civilisation seeing a 

warplane flying over their village 

for the first time,” she said.

Taylor’s winning streak continues 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

TAYLOR Chamberlain has 

taken out another surf life saving 

title, this time at the southern 

region championships over the 

weekend. 

The 20-year-old helped Taylors 

Mistake finish second on the 

overall club points table with 

500, behind winners South 

Brighton (783) and ahead of 

third-placed Sumner (150). 

Chamberlain won 10 events 

over two days of competition at 

New Brighton beach, finishing 

as the top overall open male 

competitor. 

He won the ski race, run swim 

run, board race, surf race, and 

iron events in the open category. 

He was also a key part of five 

team event wins. 

Lucy Stroud starred in several 

winning teams for Taylors Mistake, 

including the open female 

double ski event with Pieta Luthi 

and the open mixed double ski 

with Liam O’Loughlin, as well as 

five relay events. 

Sumner had a handful of 

event winners, including Carl 

Tresfield, who won the under-15 

beach flags and sprints, while 

Ben Isles won the under-19 run 

swim run and iron events. 

Surf Life Saving New 

Zealand southern sports 

manager Luke Smith said the 

weekend was a “great event” 

in the lead-up to the TSB New 

Zealand surf life saving championships 

at New Brighton on 

March 9-12. 

“We had some really great conditions 

for an awesome weekend 

of competition at New Brighton,” 

Smith said. 

Both Taylors Mistake and 

Sumner will compete in 

the postponed Canterbury 

championships when it resumes 

with canoe racing on Friday 

with the remaining events on 

March 5.

TRAPPING predators – 

possums, rats, mice, stoats and 

ferrets – and planting natives 

are two steps we can all take to 

encourage native birdsong back 

to our communities. 

“Now is the time to set your 

traps,” said Predator Free Sumner 

Bays member Paul Cragg. 

“This is the prime breeding 

time as the weather is warm and 

there is plenty of food in your 

garden and compost heap. This 

means we have a lot of ‘naive’ 

youngsters out there who will be 

curious about the traps, unlike 

the more mature trap-shy rats. 

“If we all become backyard 

trappers we can make a difference 

to the number of predators. 

Besides protecting native birds, 

rats and mice will be less likely 

to live in your walls and ceilings 

in winter, and eat your garden 

produce in summer.” 

Predator Free Sumner Bays 

is one of several community 

groups under the auspices of 

Predator Free Port Hills. And, 

Predator Free Port Hills is part 

of the Summit Road Society; 

as the name suggests, it takes a 

leadership role in eliminating 

predators on the Port Hills. 

Founded by the late Jeremy 

Agar, the focus is backyard 

trapping in the urban fringe 

surrounding the Port Hills and 

Lyttelton harbour. It aims to 

HAVE A CHAT: Predator Free Port Hills are at the Mt Pleasant Farmers Market on the second 

Saturday of every month.

have a trap in one of every five 

households. 

Predator Free Port Hills co-ordinator 

Marie Gray said it is a 

simple concept, so it’s easy for 

everyone to get involved. 

“We are at the Mt Pleasant 

markets on the second Saturday 

of the month providing advice 

and selling traps. We would love 

to welcome you to our stall, and 

to explain how you can help us 

achieve more birdsong in our 

community. 

“We also have community days 

where kids and their parents can 

come and make traps for their 

own gardens. Sign up online via 

www.predatorfreeporthills.org. 

nz” 

Cragg has been a keen backyard 

trapper for many years. 

“Close to 10 years ago Redcliffs 

resident John Cook held a meeting 

in Sumner to discuss trapping 

in the Upper Mahoe-nui 

and Jollies Bush areas, and it 

sparked my interest. Then Gabe 

Ross started up Predator Free 

Sumner Bays in 2017. And the 

rest is history, as they say.” 

Said Cragg: “Whilst we don’t 

have accurate monitoring data, 

we know we are making a 

difference . . . So far, over 300 

households have signed up, and 

well over 1000 rats have been 

trapped between Taylors Mistake 

and Balmoral Hill.” 

He said if we all become 

backyard trappers, and plant 

native trees and shrubs, we can 

help bring about change in our 

communities. 

Tips for those new to 

trapping: 

· Set your trap along 

the fenceline, in areas 

with bush, or beside 

the compost 

· Set up the trap as a 

rat café for a few days 

i.e., bait but do not set 

the trap. If it is being 

cleared then the rats 

and mice are happy to 

feed there, so it’s time 

to set the bait 

· Trapped rodents 

can be buried in the 

garden, or placed in 

the red bin 

· If you have any 

questions, come and 

talk to Predator Free 

Port Hills at the Mt 

Pleasant market

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

The leprosy colony on Quail Island 

BETWEEN 1906 and 1927, 

Ōtamahua Quail Island in the 

middle of Whakaraupō Lyttelton 

Harbour was host to the South 

Island’s only leprosy colony with 

14 men incarcerated there. 

Leprosy (or Hansen’s disease, 

after the Norwegian doctor who 

discovered its bacterial source 

in 1873) is a disease known to 

humankind for many thousands 

of years. 

Prior to advances in modern 

medicine it was widely misunderstood 

to be highly infectious, 

and in many cultures sufferers 

were ostracised. This was, in 

part, because it can result in 

disfiguring skin lesions and even 

loss of extremities due to injuries 

and infections. Infected people 

suffer nerve damage, a consequent 

lack of sensation, a decline 

in muscle strength, and some go 

blind. Public fear was exacerbated 

by racial prejudice. 

In early 20th century New 

Zealand, health authorities 

took a similar approach to 

other Western countries in the 

management of the disease by 

embracing isolation practices. 

In 1906, the first man diagnosed 

with leprosy in Ōtautahi 

Christchurch and held in isolation 

on the island was Will 

Vallane; although provided with 

meals by a matron resident on 

the island, he spent 18 months 

primarily alone with his eyesight 

and mobility failing. Initially 

housed in the barn-like old quarantine 

barracks, a purpose-built 

cottage was constructed a year 

after his arrival, more suitable 

for a sole occupant. In 1908, he 

was joined by a second sufferer 

and a third in 1909. 

More small cottages were built 

as the population continued to 

grow. Although the bay (now 

called Skiers Bay) could be 

delightful in summer, it lost the 

sun behind a ridge as early as 

2pm in winter. 

The men had regular visits 

from Lyttelton’s popular and 

compassionate Dr Upham, 

gardened and swam if health 

permitted, listened to the radio 

and kept pets (notably canaries, 

a parrot and the wild island rabbits, 

which they tamed). There 

were occasional church services, 

family visits and humanitarian 

delegations, with visitors keeping 

at least six feet away from the 

men; white picket fences surrounding 

the cottages marked 

the dividing line between the 

two groups. But their main 

support was each other, although 

the tensions arising from their 

situation sometimes threatened 

that vital camaraderie. 

There is no doubt that the 

enforced isolation weighed upon 

the men, especially for those 

whose health was declining. 

A few men were released as 

cured; George Philips, who was 

declared free of the disease but 

required to wait 18 months for 

clearance before release, could 

not tolerate that extra time. He 

absconded via Moepuku Point, 

arriving at Orton Bradley’s 

house in Te Wharau Charteris 

Bay so convincingly dressed 

as a clergyman that he was 

able to make a telephone call 

and was last seen heading to 

Christchurch in a taxi cab, where 

PHOTO: SARAH LAMONT 

he changed his name and disappeared 

from public scrutiny. 

There were two leprosy 

deaths on the island. The most 

well-known was a 25-year-old 

Samoan-born man, Ivon Crispen 

Skelton, who died on October 

20, 1923, and was buried on the 

headland facing Aua King Billy 

Island with Reverend A.J. Petrie 

of Holy Trinity presiding. 

Apparently forgotten by history, 

there was also 55-year-old 

Te Iringa from Kirikau Pā on the 

Whanganui River, whose death 

and burial in 1922 were recorded 

in The Press at the time; Father 

Patrick Cooney of St Joseph’s 

Catholic Church conducted his 

service. 

Skelton’s grave was originally 

surrounded by a picket fence 

and was the subject of an 

archaeological dig in 2015. 

Surprisingly, no remains were 

found; it is postulated his grave 

near the cliff edge was washed 

away in a storm. His resting 

place is now commemorated by 

a simple wooden cross, though 

Te Iringa’s gravesite is not

documented or marked. 

In 1925 the eight remaining 

men were moved to Makogai 

Island in Samoa, joining 300 

other sufferers and benefitting 

from a greater sense of 

community. Five of them were 

never to leave, including the 

original sole resident of Quail 

Island, Will Vallane. He died on 

Makogai in 1937 in his early 60s, 

having spent over 30 years in 

isolation. 

The tragedy of the long human 

history of leprosy is that it, in 

fact, has low pathogenicity with 

95 per cent of people exposed to 

the bacterium not going on to 

develop the condition. 

Advances in Western medicine 

in the 1940s mean that leprosy 

is curable if diagnosed early and 

treated with multidrug therapy. 

Nevertheless, it is still a serious 

disease in parts of the Americas, 

Africa and the Western Pacific, 

associated with poverty, lack of 

access to medical intervention 

and continuing misunderstanding. 

With the wisdom of hindsight, 

the Quail Island men could have 

been saved from two difficult 

decades of isolation.

Start dreaming of driving electric 

BUILD YOUR Dreams – 

abbreviated to BYD, that’s the 

name for one of the newest 

entrants into New Zealand’s 

electric vehicle market. 

More specifically, the BYD Atto 

3 is the key model here for the 

all-electric Chinese car building 

company, and it’s a tidy, stylish 

sport utility vehicle that already 

I’m seeing in good numbers on 

our roads. If you are wondering 

where Atto comes from, it is 

inspired by the Attosecond – 

the smallest time scale unit in 

physics – and according to BYD 

it represents speed, energy and 

dynamics. 

The Atto 3 lands here in two 

model variants distinguished by 

their battery size. The extended 

range vehicle incorporates the 

larger of the lithium-ion battery 

capacities – a 60kWh unit 

– giving a 420km range and the 

standard battery unit – 50kWh – 

providing a range of 345km. Both 

models are driven by a single 

motor powering the front wheels, 

there is 150kW of power on tap 

with 310Nm of torque in both, 

offering a standstill to 100km/h 

time of 7.3sec. 

Prices start at $55,490 for the 

standard model, the extended 

range variant adds $4500. Those 

prices both easily qualify for the 

full New Zealand Government 

Clean Car Programme rebate of 

$8625. 

The Atto is a compact SUV, 

it measures just 4.45m but the 

designers have done a good job in 

making the interior comfortable 

and spacious considering. There’s 

also good load space at 440-litres 

which easily translates to a weekly 

family supermarket shop. 

Specification items are numerous, 

I can report that for its price 

there’s a good level of fitment. The 

evaluation car was the range-topper, 

but most of what is in that is 

also included in the entry-level 

model, it’s just the battery capacity 

that is different and, the colour 

choices vary from level to level. 

For those of you who like to see 

the stars when you’re travelling at 

night, the Atto 3 gets a full length 

panoramic roof, along with 

heated and electric seats, keyless 

entry and ignition, and electric 

tailgate just to mention a few of 

the major items. When you take 

into account the value you get for 

the money, it’s no wonder BYD 

is showing much appeal in this 

country. 

The interior is very space age. 

The design and trim elements are 

styled with ideas that I’ve never 

STYLE: The BYD Atto 3 is chock full of delightful surprises, 

including novel guitar-type strings on the inside of each door. 

BUILD YOUR DREAMS ATTO3: An electric vehicle that is becoming very popular downunder. 

seen before in any car. I particularly 

like the guitar strings that 

are fitted to the front doors, you 

can play music to the beat of the 

radio while sitting at the ever-increasing 

traffic light queues. 

Another design I like are the 

wheel-like door release mechanisms, 

they are functional yet also 

futuristic. 

There is also much depth within 

the display graphics and control 

functions. The touch screen 

dash panel sits centre console and 

looks very much like an enlarged 

iPad and works similarly, even 

though it is comprehensive I 

found it to be quite intuitive and 

user-friendly. 

Driving the Atto 3 requires little 

familiarity, just select drive (or 

reverse) on the selector and you 

are moving just like you would in 

any automatic car. 

It is quiet, of course, and for 

that reason it takes some time 

to get used to the whirr and the 

whine of the electronics instead 

of hearing the sound that you 

would normally get from an 

internal combustion engine. 

What’s more, it is quite quick, the 

initial launch off the line provides 

immediate acceleration and it 

takes no time at all before the 

legal speed limit is reached. The 

high torque output is also handy 

for the highway overtake, an 80 

• Price – BYD Atto3, $59,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4455mm; width, 1875mm; 

height, 1615mm 

• Configuration – Electrosynchronous 

motor, 

front-wheel-drive, 150kW, 

310Nm, one-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.3sec 

to 120km/h overtaking time of 

5.5sec means you are on the right 

hand side of the road for minimal 

time. 

I only had the evaluation car 

for three full days and that was 

during a working week, so I 

didn’t get to travel as far as I normally 

would, but I did head west 

towards Darfield and returned 

home through the winding back 

roads of Dunsandel, Burnham 

and Lincoln. 

It must be said the Atto 3 has 

a sublime ride. It is soft in the 

suspension offering huge levels 

of comfort. Given that there is 

little firming, it comes as some 

surprise that it has neutral 

handling characteristics. Sure, 

there’s a lot of energy heading out 

the front wheels, and on strong 

accelerator request you do feel 

a bit of tugging at the steering 

wheel when exiting a tight corner, 

but I’m pleased to say there is a 

fully independent suspension 

system and it is high class, having 

the ability to provide that smooth 

ride and predictable handling 

manners. 

I travelled 200km in the evaluation 

vehicle, when I picked it 

up there was 86 per cent charge 

on the battery capacity display 

offering a distance to empty of 

400km. It panned out so that 

plugging in for several hours 

each night meant I could keep 

the batteries well within a range 

that minimised anxiety, although 

at a short 4m the domestic cable 

is only just long enough to reach 

my garage plug. 

Of course, fast charging at a 

designated port will boost the 

batteries from 20 to 80 per cent in 

around 30min. 

It’s quite clear the direction the 

world is heading in terms of new 

vehicle sales, electric vehicles 

are in demand, but BYD in New 

Zealand says supply is relatively 

constant. 

A good friend of mine who 

lives in Australia has had a hefty 

deposit on an Atto 3 for six 

months and there’s still no sign of 

his car arriving, but every market 

is different and I’d like to think 

that any prospective buyer here 

will be satisfied with their buying 

experience.

The current owner has cherished this property 

for two decades, but it's now time for her 

expanding family to find a new home, 

making this an excellent opportunity for 

someone seeking their first home or a 

downsizing option. 

This is an impeccable opportunity - don't 

miss it.
