Bidding 

war over 

quake 

damaged 

home 

• By Nikki Preston 

AN UNINSURED Casebrook 

home that needs earthquake 

repairs has sold under the hammer 

for $597,000, stunning both the 

trustees and agents. 

Half a dozen property traders 

battled it out for the threebedroom, 

one-bathroom home 

on Glenmore Ave 

at the Harcourts 

Gold auction, with 

the eventual sale 

price exceeding the 

property’s RV of 

$580,000. 

Harcourts Gold 

agent Debbie Soper 

said the auction was 

a “cracker”. 

Debbie 

Soper 

“For an ‘as is, where is’ in 

Casebrook, which we all sort of saw 

as being in the $400,000s, $597,000 

was just nuts,” she said. 

The bidding opened at $220,000, 

but most had dropped out by the 

time it reached the high $400,000s, 

she said. 

The auctioneer announced the 

property as being on the market 

at $500,000 and, by the time the 

bidding reached $540,000, there 

were just two buyers left. 

“Two people were really, really 

fighting it out and trying to get rid 

of the other one, and they both just 

hung in there as long as they could 

and the underbidder just couldn’t.”

Traffic calming measures 

unveiled for Flockton St 

Specialist pool 

over the line 

with 400k grant 

SAFE SPEED platforms and 

a new road surface are being 

proposed to help manage 

increased traffic since the 

opening of the Northern 

Corridor. 

Feedback has opened on 

plans to install traffic calming 

measures on Flockton St and 

Francis Ave which have both 

been impacted by additional use 

since the motorway opened in 

2020. 

Safe speed platforms at 70 

metre intervals have been 

proposed, with seven to be 

installed on Flockton St and five 

on Francis Ave, to encourage 

reduced and consistent speeds 

along the road. 

Transport planning and 

delivery manager Jacob Bradbury 

said they have heard a lot of 

feedback from residents on 

Flockton St. 

“They said that they were 

experiencing vibrations, so to 

mitigate this we’ve decided to 

also include resurfacing for that 

street which will reduce these 

vibrations in the long term,” 

Bradbury said. 

The plans were developed 

following feedback and data 

collected during trials set up 

last year. 

Temporary raised speed humps 

and one- and two-way chicanes 

were installed on Flockton St, 

while speed humps and road 

narrowing were installed on 

Francis Ave. 

Bradbury said they considered 

all sorts of other traffic calming 

measures when working on 

their proposed designs including 

chicanes, road narrowings, a 

cul-de-sac, left-in left-out, and 

reopening Forfar St. 

“However, when these options 

were assessed against our specific 

criteria, looking at how much 

they affected vehicle speeds and 

volumes, our wider transport 

network and other transport 

modes, the proposals we’re 

putting forward are the most 

suitable overall.” 

• The full plans can be 

viewed at letstalk.ccc.govt. 

nz/DEMP and feedback 

closes on September 27 

THE MATATIKI Hornby Centre 

has received a $400,000 grant 

from New Zealand Community 

Trust. 

The grant will enable the 

completion of a hydrotherapy 

pool at the centre which is set 

to open in early next year and 

will also include a library and 

customer service hub, as well 

as an aquatic centre with a lane 

pool, spa pool, toddlers’ wet play 

area and learn-to-swim pool. 

The city council agreed to 

provide $2.5 million for the 

hydrotherapy pool, with the 

balance of $1.4 million currently 

being raised by the Hornby 

Rotary Club and the Greater 

Hornby Residents Association. 

Hydrotherapy involves the 

use of warm water for pain 

relief, relaxation and a range 

of treatments. The water 

temperature is usually between 

33-36°C, warmer than swimming 

pools which are typically kept at 

26-28°C. 

Around the site, the brick work 

for the pool changing rooms and 

plant room have been progressing 

steadily and will be completed in 

the next few weeks.

Elmwood’s time 

capsule show 

ELMWOOD NORMAL School 

pupils performed their original 

production detailing the story 

around the new buildings being 

built at the school. 

The Time Capsule was written 

by teacher Jeni McKinnon and 

was on the stage at the Town Hall 

on August 24. 

The pupils helped tell the story 

of how when the junior school 

buildings at the school were demolished 

there was no time capsule 

to be found, even though the 

buildings would have been about 

100 years old and how a group 

of school councillors decide that 

the new school buildings should 

have one. 

They decided that they would 

like to focus on positive happenings 

and looked at how Christchurch 

been rebuilt since the 

earthquakes. Each one of them 

chose a place they treasured in 

the city to showcase, and this was 

done through dance and song by 

each year-group. 

The places they treasure within 

the city included the botanical 

gardens, the beaches and waterways, 

the Tūranga library, Te 

Pae, Te Kaha Canterbury Multi- 

Use Arena, Parakiore Recreation 

PERFORMANCE: Pupils of Elmwood performed songs 

including ‘Let it Grow’ and ‘Hold Back the River’ that focused 

on the botanic gardens and the waterways in the city. 

and Sports Centre and outdoor 

areas such as the Port Hills, biking 

in the adventure park and 

Bottle Lake Forest. 

The new buildings are still 

being built and the first block 

is due to finish mid-next year. 

The second block is due to finish 

early 2025. 

It was a whole school production 

with about 1250 tickets sold 

and the school received many 

emails from parents thanking 

the staff for the show. 

It was a big team effort, and the 

production was hugely successful. 

A lot of people enjoyed it and the 

school wanted to say a big thank 

you to everyone who helped bring 

it together. 

DWELLING: The house sits on a large 1123sq m section, 

which helped to draw in buyers. 

Auction ‘just 

•From page 1 

“It got to the stage where it just 

didn’t make sense,” said Soper. 

The property was located 

down a long shared driveway, 

making access to the large 

1123sq m section tricky, she 

said. 

It was in “original and raw” 

condition and even the toilet 

seat was missing. 

Some wanted to do up 

the property and resell it, 

while others saw potential in 

developing the land or adding a 

second dwelling. 

One bidder only viewed the 

property minutes before the 

auction and entered the room 

just as the bidding kicked off. 

“Not everybody wanted to 

develop that section either, most 

people were looking to repair 

the house, update it, and put it 

back on the market. 

“But the margin will be pretty 

slim to do that at that level, so 

you’ve got to make the section 

work really.” 

The trustees who put the 

property on the market after the 

elderly owner moved into a rest 

home three months ago were at 

the auction. 

Said Soper: “The trustees 

could tell this was insane . . . 

they held their poker faces really 

well.”

She said the sale price was 

higher than recent sales on 

nearby Farrington Ave, where 

repaired properties in better 

condition and zoned for the 

desirable Burnside High School

$500,000s.

She said “as is, where is” 

properties “go really well” and 

the market overall is gaining 

momentum on the back of a 

steady winter. 

“I said to someone: ‘They are 

always selling for as much as 

the repaired properties at the 

moment. But it depends on 

what it is and where it is as well’.

THE ANNUAL Hub Hornby 

fashion show is set to be the 

biggest yet. 

Senior centre manager Jason 

Marsden said the fashion show, 

which was first held in 2019, 

will feature 13 runways and 119 

models, compared to about 70 

models last year. 

“It is massive this year. It 

has just grown and grown and 

gotten bigger every year,” he 

said. 

The show on September 14 will 

starts at 7pm and will be free to 

attend. About 200 VIP tickets 

are available which include a seat 

and goodie bag. 

Marsden said the whole 

community, from young people 

to seniors, will be represented on 

stage. 

“It not only features spring 

and summer fashion for the 

upcoming season from our 

fashion retailers, but the models 

are drawn from staff, friends, 

family and customers. 

“It represents and supports 

diversity, as well as the 

community we serve.” 

He said the show aims to get

and wanting to come along. 

“There is such a positive 

energy with the fashion show 

that you do not get at traditional 

runway shows. 

“For us it is about recognising 

and celebrating people in our 

community who do so much for 

others.” 

The Hub also called for people 

to nominate someone they 

know to get a makeover as part

Join our Open Days 

in September 

Warmer months are just around the corner 

That means gardens need to be prepared, repairs and maintenance planned, and spring 

cleaning started. 

Here at Summerset on Cavendish in Casebrook, we’re busy getting the village ready too. 

But our residents don’t need to lift a finger, as we take care of the chores, leaving them to 

spend their days how best they wish. Although some do still love to look after their gardens 

of course. 

If you’ve ever been curious about village life with fewer chores, now could be the time. We’re 

holding an Open Day every Thursday in September between 10am and 2pm, so you can get 

a taste of the Summerset life that our residents love so much. 

Love the life you choose

St Margaret’s qualify for nationals 

after South Island schools final 

FOCUS: St Margaret’s centre Ellese Haigh keeps her eyes 

on the target in their 51-27 win over Otago Girls’ High. 

Below – St Andrew’s College’s Sienna Stowers-Smith 

fires a pass. 


AN EXTRA-TIME thriller saw 

St Margaret’s College go down to 

Columba College in the South Island 

secondary schools netball final. 

St Margaret’s had a dominant 

tournament in Invercargill and have 

now qualified for the New Zealand 

secondary schools tournament 

in Auckland, which starts on 

October 3, after the 30-28 

loss. Christchurch Girls’ 

High (third), St Andrew’s 

College (fourth) and Villa 

Maria College (fifth) also 

clinched spots at next 

month’s New Zealand 

tournament by finishing in 

the top five. 

But for St Margaret’s, who were 

last year’s national finalists, the final 

loss was a disappointing end to the 

tournament. 

They recorded an impressive 307 

goals across their first six games while 

conceding just 133. 

St Margaret’s met rivals St Andrew’s 

in their third playoff match in two 

weeks in the semi-final, which the redand-whites 

won 43-31. 

St Margaret’s looked like winning 

the final last Thursday after taking a 

13-5 lead in the first quarter. 

Goal attack Ivy Brown was a standout, 

injecting energy on attack and 

defence in the first half. 

Despite a number of opportunities 

for Columba, St Margaret’s managed 

to hold on to a 19-14 lead at halftime. 

Clean intercepts gained them plenty 

of turnovers on defence, but unforced 

errors saw St Margaret’s take 2min to 

get their first goal of the third period. 

St Margaret’s had possibly their 

lowest quarter score of the season with 

just six goals. 

But for much of the final quarter, St 

Margaret’s held onto their slim lead. 

Then Columba soared to a 28-27 

lead with 36sec to go on the clock. 

St Margaret’s were able to keep their 

cool, with Brown netting a goal to 

even the match. But it wasn’t to be for 

St Margaret’s in extra-time. They were 

unable to add to their score, while 

Columba went in front by two for the 

first time in the game. 

Meanwhile, CGHS faced St Andrew’s 

to decide third place. 

CGHS were reeling from a 44-17 

loss to Columba, and came out firing 

to finish 

third with a 35-30 

win. The last spot at 

nationals went to Villa 

Maria, who beat Southland 

Girls’ 33-32 in a thrilling 

fifth place playoff. The four 

Christchurch sides now turn 

their focus to the national tournament 

at Trust Arena, Auckland, 

which starts on October 3.

Teen golfer 

impresses at 

age group 

champs 

• By Neville Idour 

COOPER MOORE came 

close to retaining his under-16 

title at the national age group 

championships. 

THe Clearwater golfer’s first 

round 67 at the Timaru Golf Club 

last week saw him take a two-shot 

lead over Ryan Xie (Remuera) 

who played at the NZ Open this 

year. Moore’s 

second round 71 

saw him trail Xie 

(68) by one shot 

going into the 

final round. 

Standing on 

the 14th tee, 

Cooper 

Moore was still 

a shot behind. 

He then got into 

Moore 

trouble with a triple bogey. But 

a birdie on 18 and a 73 score left 

him three shots behind Xie. 

Russley’s Yuki Miya got off to 

great start with 69 in the under-19 

section. But 74 and 76 dropped 

him to a tie for sixth. Phong 

Nguyen (Russley) finished 11th 

with 74, 75 and 74. 

Vanessa Lim (Russley) claimed 

eighth in the under-16 girls with 

78, 79 and 79, while Alisia Ren 

(Russley) was 10th in a strong 

under-19 field. 

Back-to-back basketball titles 


ST ANDREW’S College’s 

senior A girls basketball team 

have qualified for next month’s 

nationals after winning back-toback 

AA premier schools South 

Island titles. 

They met rivals Rangiora 

High in the final of the threeday 

tournament at Dunedin, 

winning 73-54. It came a week 

after the two teams faced off in 

the Canterbury secondary 

schools final – which St Andrew’s 

also won. 

Year 13 student Lauren 

Whittaker was once again 

immense for St Andrew’s in a 

final, scoring 20 points. 

St Andrew’s progressed to the 

South Island final after dominant 

wins over Nayland College 

(90-22) and Avonside Girls’ 

High (85-33) in pool play. They 

beat Columba College 75-58 in 

the quarter-final before beating 

Kaiapoi High 82-41 in their 

semi-final. 

St Margaret’s College also 

secured a spot at nationals, 

which takes place in Palmerston 

North from September 25-30, 

after finishing third. They beat 

Kaiapoi 82-64 in the third-place 

playoff following a 65-48 loss to 

Rangiora. 

Christchurch Girls’ High lost 

83-66 to Columba in the playoff 

for fifth, but sixth-place nabbed 

them a spot at nationals. 

In the boys’ tournament, 

SHOT: St Andrew’s College successfully defended their South Island girls’ basketball title at

Christ’s College came up short

their thrilling 82-81 semi-final 

win against St Thomas of Canterbury

also met in the Canterbury final 

a week before. 

However, Canterbury champions 

St Thomas’ were unable 

to finish in the top three, going 

down 87-81 to Nelson College in

Classy, quality European feel to Amarok 

MEET THE Volkswagen 

Amarok, the German sibling of 

the latest Ford Ranger and an 

interesting alternative to one of 

our best selling Utes. 

This model-sharing arrangement 

between two of the heavy 

hitters of the car world, one hailing 

from North America and the 

other Europe, is an interesting 

alliance and precursor to other 

models expected to spawn. 

Unlike the current all conquering 

third generation Ranger 

current armed with something 

for everyone; a 15 strong line-up, 

comprising 2WD and 4WD versions, 

and the choice of single, 

super, and double cab body 

styles. By contrast the Amarok 

is more of niche market dabbler 

operating off the back of a modest 

four-model line-up, all double 

cabs and 4WD. Prices start at 

$65,000 for the Life and peak 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

at $90,000 for the Aventura V6 

turbo diesel. 

Even the price leading $65,000 

Life is an attractive package, 

powered, albeit meekly, by a 2.0L 

125kW turbo diesel that develops 

405Nm of torque and is hitched 

to a 6-speed automatic. There 

are high expectations in the 

Volkswagen camp around the 

$75,000 Style with a 2.0L 154kW 

500Nm diesel engine plucked 

straight from the Ford Ranger 

parts bin. It’s nicely appointed 

with 18” alloy wheels, LED Matrix 

headlights, 12” touchscreen 

infotainment, ambient lighting, 

and keyless entry and remote 

start. There’s a nice bonus for all 

Amarok owners in the form of 

a standard across-the-range tow 

bar. 

The high spec $88,000 Amarok 

Pan Americana being reviewed 

here has a stronger off road bias. 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

If you need a large combative and 

capable Ute in most terrains, this 

one fits the bill with its beefy 3.0L 

184kW 600NmV6 diesel. Features 

include exclusive black 18" 

alloy wheels shod with all-terrain 

tyres, and heated leather seats. 

The driving assistance package 

offers, among other things, park 

assist and intelligent adaptive 

cruise control. 

The sophisticated, confident 

urban-orientated Aventura that 

shares the turbo V6 diesel is an 

attention grabber with 20" alloy 

wheels, exterior chrome styling 

accents and body-coloured sports 

bar. 

The Pan Americana packs 

plenty of punch with a muscular 

3.0L 184kW V6 turbo diesel 

packing a mighty 600Nm of 

torque, but it isn’t squeaky green 

enough to dodge the government’s 

maximum $6,900 clean 

vehicle fee. 

The V6 turbo diesel lifts the 

performance bar for its class to 

new lofty heights, with a clever 

bypass set-up for power which allows 

the turbochargers to work at 

lower engine speeds for increased 

responsiveness. Alternatively the 

smaller turbo can be bypassed allowing 

the larger one to blow into 

action to deliver greater power. 

This is just some of the back 

room technical magic that conjures 

up such an ultra smooth 

and responsive motor delivering 

a memorable on and off road 

driving experience. Whatever 

is thrown its way is dealt with 

effortlessly like few other diesel 

Utes I’ve driven. The 10-speed 

automatic is the perfect match for 

this strong and more vibrant V6, 

with its quick and intuitive gear 

changes. 

The well-appointed and finished 

passenger compartment is 

noticeably larger than its aging 

predecessor, with the biggest, 

and soon to be most appreciated, 

improvement is the amount of 

additional rear leg and headroom. 

There’s a classy, modern 

and quality European feel that 

permeates into almost every 

corner of the test Ute. This gives 

the Volkswagen an important 

point of difference over its blue 

oval-badged sibling. 

The way this sizeable Ute glides 

through corners with poise and 

balance is a credit to the team 

who designed and developed it. 

Ride comfort is outstanding both 

on road and off the beaten track. 

During my limited and less than 

intrepid off-road excursions, the 

test vehicle was surprisingly at 

ease and took every opportunity 

to show off its formidable 4WD 

abilities. This is a more than worthy 

replacement for the outgoing 

Amarok. It’s a huge step forward, 

thanks to Ford.
