Fast-track to success 

• By Sasha Watson 

ANTHONY KUTOVOY is 

weeks away from the next step 

in a promising future in speed 

skating. 

The 15-year-old, of Parklands, 

will compete in the junior world 

cup speed skating series in the 

Netherlands in late November 

and early December. 

After winning the national 

title for the sub junior men 

(under 15) division at the New 

Zealand open short track 

championship in Dunedin in 

September, he gained entry to 

the first two junior world cups. 

At these competitions, he will 

be seeking to qualify for a third 

junior world cup and the junior 

world championship, held in 

February 2024. 

“At the Dunedin competition, 

I also set a new record in the 

1000m distance for my age 

group,” said Anthony. 

“Since I’ve started skating, 

I have improved a lot . . . as 

well as being the New Zealand 

champion for my age group.” 

The St Andrew’s College 

year 11 student is part of 

the Canterbury Alpine Ice 

Skating Club. He has been 

skating since 2019, originally 

for the Mainland Ice Racing 

Club before transferring to 

Canterbury Alpine in 2021. 

“One of the things that caught 

my eye with short track is the 

competitiveness and adrenaline 

of trying to hit your top speed 

and push your boundaries. 

“All while having to try to 

pass and block other skaters. I 

love skating because you get to

cup speed skating series in the Netherlands in late November and early December. 

compete overseas against other, 

like-minded people whose goal 

is like mine – to be the best version 

of myself.” 

Anthony said he is training 

six times a week with 

Canterbury Alpine coach Ben 

Whiteside. 

The first junior world cup 

is from November 26 to 

27. Anthony and his coach 

have self-funded flights for 

November 18, to train in 

the Netherlands for a week 

beforehand. 

“It is very hard to train in 

New Zealand with the very 

limited ice time and old equipment,” 

said Anthony. 

“(Speed skating) is very 

competitive and requires a lot of 

training and self-improvement, 

which results in a healthy 

lifestyle.” 

New 

structure 

for red 

zone 

projects 

THE ŌTĀKARO Avon River 

Corridor co-governance 

establishment committee has 

adopted a new framework to 

assess any city council-led 

projects planned for the former 

residential red zone. 

Co-chairs Te 

Maire Tau and 

Lianne Dalziel said 

the new assessment 

framework will be 

used as a sounding 

board for future 

projects. 

“The framework 

covers factors such 

as climate change 

resilience, ecological 

improvements, 

innovation and the 

ability to practice 

mahinga kai,” the 

co-chairs said. 

“As well as being 

a measuring stick 

Te Maire 

Tau 

Lianne 

Dalziel 

for us to determine the merits of 

council-led projects, the new assessment 

framework also be used 

by anyone proposing projects in 

the ‘activity areas’ of the OARC, 

where non-council-led projects 

can occur. 

“Our overwhelming interest is 

to ensure we return the area to its 

original state, so we can prepare 

ourselves for climate change and 

mitigate the flooding risk to the 

city. • Turn to page 5

New lease of life sought for 

former social housing units 

THE CITY council is looking 

for help to redevelop 22 former 

social housing units back into 

housing for the community. 

The expression of interest process 

opens this week for the purchase 

and development of land 

within the former Sandilands 

Community Housing Complex 

in Linwood. 

The 11 cross-lease sites are 

located throughout Coulter Ave, 

Nicholas Drive and Griffiths Ave 

off Pages Rd. 

“The homes were built in the 

1940s, sustained a lot of damage 

in the Canterbury earthquakes 

and now at the end of their 

useful lives. As they are uneconomical 

to repair redevelopment 

is a better use of the site,” said 

city council head of city growth 

and property Bruce Rendall. 

“We’re now looking for 

interested parties who have the 

ability to purchase the sites, 

demolish the buildings and 

redevelop the land with replacement 

housing.” 

Rendall said the city council is 

interested to hear from groups 

who can help redevelop the land 

back into social or affordable 

housing as part of the Community 

Housing Strategy 2021-31. 

OPPORTUNITY: Expressions of interest are being sought for the purchase and 

development of land within the former Sandilands Community Housing Complex 

in Linwood. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

“Not all sites need to be 

purchased by one entity, we 

may choose to sell the sites to 

different organisations to ensure 

diversity throughout the redevelopment. 

“The goal is to achieve similar 

outcomes to their historical 

use so a mix of social housing,

Guiding the 

way for girls 

OARC co-governance 

options investigated 

• From page 1 

“The early settlers referred to 

the eastern seaboard as a ‘delta’ 

and Ngāi Tahu valued the area 

for mahinga kai. Both views are 

compatible and we must work 

together for the common good.” 

The co-governance establishment 

committee was established 

in August 2022 to make decisions 

around both permanent 

and transitional uses within the 

OARC regeneration area, and to 

investigate options for a permanent 

co-governance entity. 

Ngāi Tūāhuriri Upoko Dr 

Te Maire Tau and former 

Christchurch Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel co-chair the committee. 

In addition to Dr Tau, Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri appointed four 

members – Tania Wati, Dr John 

Reid, Thomas Hildebrand, and 

Tutehounuku Korako – to the 

committee. 

Community members of 

the committee include Hayley 

Guglietta, Dr Cynthia Roberts 

and Julyan Falloon. After last 

year’s local body elections, 

Councillor Kelly Barber was also 

appointed. 

The committee has also 

determined a shortlist of options 

for a permanent co-governance 

entity for the OARC. These 

options are being investigated in 

more detail before the committee 

makes a recommendation to the 

city council. It’s expected the 

permanent entity will replace 

the establishment committee 

sometime in 2024. 

Since its establishment, the 

committee has also gained 

an understanding of the city 

council’s wide programme of 

works and the opportunities that 

the OARC provides, approved 

the council’s community 

planting programme for the 2023 

season, and worked with thirdparty 

groups on their proposals 

to temporarily use the land. 


CIARA GIBSON has just 

returned from representing New 

Zealand at an international Girl 

Guiding governance forum. 

Now, the 20-year-old 

Canterbury 

University 

student wants 

to see more 

girls step up 

to leadership 

Ciara 

Gibson 

positions. 

Gibson, 

who has been 

a member of the organisation 

since she was seven, was selected 

as one of two New Zealand 

representatives at the 38th World 

Association of Girl Guiding and 

Girl Scouting world conference in 

Cyprus. 

About 400 delegates from 106 

countries attended the event 

to discuss strategy, policy and 

leadership at a global level, elect 

new world board members 

and participate in a range of 

workshops. 

Gibson said the conference 

connected her with other people 

around the world who are 

passionate about empowering 

young women. 

“But I also learned young 

women can have much more 

of a voice on numerous issues 

and take advantage of a whole 

range of different opportunities 

compared to our peers in some 

other countries,” she said. 

“Guides has inspired me over 

the years and has offered me 

a wonderful chance to really 

challenge myself and to learn and 

grow. 

“It’s important for girls to see 

other girls in leadership positions 

and Guiding has been invaluable 

in that respect. The organisation 

has done so much to help me 

overcome those barriers and help 

me become a leader.” 

Gibson sits on the 

GirlGuiding NZ 

national board, as the young 

leader representative, and was 

a member of the national girl 

advisory group, which focuses 

on giving young women a voice 

within the organisation.

COMPACT: The 

Rotary Ōtautahi 

Passport self-drive 

shed tour will cover 

10-plus locations, 

including a West 

Melton shed used 

to make soaps 

(left) and a classic 

car collection in 

Clarkville. 

The secret lives of sheds revealed 


BACK SHED, garden shed, 

garage shed, basement shed 

– what these spaces have in 

common is they’re places people 

go to get creative. 

The first shed tour 

in Canterbury, held by 

Rotary Ōtautahi Passport, 

will showcase such crafters, 

collectors, cultivators, 

enthusiasts, toy makers, wood 

turners, painters, soap makers, 

classic car rebuilders, and more. 

The sheds are located all over, 

from Parklands, New Brighton, 

South Brighton, Sydenham 

and Waltham, to Lincoln, West 

Melton, Rolleston and Clarkville. 

“We were looking for ideas 

for a fundraiser that was fun, 

novel and different to 

other fundraisers,” said 

Rotary Ōtautahi Passport 

founding member Deb 

Gimblett. 

“I had been involved in 

a similar Rotary shed tour 

up north and it had been 

a great success . . . This 

hasn’t been done before 

down here in the South 

Island as far as we are 

aware.” 

The tour will be a self-drive 

Deb 

Gimblett 

excursion, from 9am-4pm on 

Saturday, November 4, and will 

cover 10-plus locations. 

Said Gimblett: “We have sheds 

for everyone; they are 

not just men’s sheds. 

Start early so you can 

take your time, choose 

the sheds that interest 

you and stop along the 

way for refreshments at 

two of the sites.” 

Tour tickets are 

$45 and all proceeds 

from the day will go to 

charities that encourage 

under-five-year-olds 

to thrive, like Plunket, Parental 

Wellbeing Canterbury and the 

Rotary Community Breast Milk 

Bank. 

Rotary Ōtautahi Passport was 

founded in March 2022 and is a 

club that utilises a new model. 

“Where we differ from the 

older clubs is we only meet twice 

a month and that is either to do 

projects in our communities 

or to plan the next project. We 

have no fixed abode and meet 

anywhere over Christchurch,” 

said Gimblett. 

“Our members come from far 

and wide. Lincoln, many suburbs 

in and around Christchurch and 

out to Kaiapoi, which is different 

to the traditional model. 

“We have been busy over 

the last 18 months and 

donated proceeds from our 

fundraising to The Youth Hub, 

the Canterbury Rotary Breast 

Milk Bank at St Georges, 

and the Canterbury Refugee 

Resettlement and Resource 

Centre, to name just a few.”

Punchy take-offs ensured with Tucson 

ADDING PLUG-IN hybrid 

technology means one of 

Hyundai’s best-selling SUVs, 

the mid-sized Tucson, is just a 

step removed from taking the 

inevitable full electrification 

plunge. 

With its bold looks, digital 

capabilities, and upgraded ride 

and handling, Hyundai expects 

this Tucson to add significantly 

to the more than 7 million sold 

globally since the original model 

was launched 19 years ago. For 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

our market, the Tucson is only 

sold in short-wheel base form, 

while its cousin the Kia Sportage 

rides on a long-wheel base. 

The Tucson Hybrid comes 

in 2WD and AWD forms with 

the plug-in model exclusively 

AWD, and road tested here in 

top spec Elite guise. Power is 

distributed to the front and rear 

wheels depending on traction 

conditions, while the Terrain 

Mode selector maximizes power, 

torque and braking depending on 

the conditions you’re driving in. 

The Tucson plug-in hybrid 

isn’t cheap compared to many 

of its rivals with the entry-level 

version retailing for $83,990, 

with a $5000 premium on the 

more lavishly attired Elite. This 

pricing pushes it over the $80,000 

price cap to qualify for a $4000 

clean car rebate available until 

31 December, when the new 

government pulls the plug on 

the two-year-old clean vehicle 

scheme. 

A high tempo 195kW plug-in 

hybrid powertrain is strong and 

feisty with acceleration that 

bristles with sporty intent. It’s 

not just show – it’s got plenty of 

go too. A rich vein of torque and 

the extra kick of the fully charged 

battery pack, ensures punchy 

take-offs from standing starts, 

and purposeful pulling power 

for most driving situations. 

These attributes make light work 

of undulating roads and long 

energy draining uphill grinds. 

The plug-in has an all-electriconly 

range of up to 65km, similar 

to several rivals including the 

Mitsubishi Eclipse and Ford 

Escape. Both pack a much lighter 

performance punch than the 

heavy hitting Tucson PHEV’s 

195kW. 

For a model with glowing 

fuel economy credentials, the 

test car was disappointing. I 

knocked off a 500km roadie in 

it with four adults on board, on 

a trip covering some sections 

of hilly driving, and averaged 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 7; Build 

Quality 7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Avg fuel 

consumption on road test 6.8L/100km; Value for money 6; 

Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. No clean car fee. 

Overall points out of 10: 7.5 

7.3L/100km. That number is well 

north of the claimed 1.5L/100km. 

This might be doable in low 

speed town driving when the car 

can spend extended periods in 

EV mode, but well out of reach 

on open road romps. 

Expertly managing what is 

one of the more potent non-full 

EV’s on Hyundai New Zealand’s 

books is a smart rework of 

the company’s proven 7-speed 

automatic. 

For a compact SUV, front and 

rear legroom is adequate rather 

than generously provisioned. I 

found the rear door openings 

too narrow to easily navigate 

bulkier items through, like child 

car seats. The rear cargo hatch 

does the job, but isn’t helped by 

the batteries being stored under 

the floor, raising its elevation and 

restricting load height. 

SUV buyers demand top rate 

connectivity in their vehicles 

these days and the Tucson has 

that well covered with some of 

the best in class digital tech. 

Hyundai’s Digital Key is great, 

turning your smartphone into a 

smart key. 

The suspension is sportier than 

many hybrids with its nimble 

and playful character, and 

composed in managing sudden 

deviations in the road surface. 

No complaints about passenger 

comfort that is largely free of the 

choppy listless ride traits of some 

short wheelbase SUVs. 

Little in the way of suspension 

noise penetrates the passenger 

compartment, even under 

severe provocation from sub 

standard roads. Well weighted, 

communicative steering responds 

quickly to the driver inputs, 

and allows you to accurately 

and effortlessly place the vehicle 

where you want it on the road. 

This vehicle puts fun with a 

capital ‘F’ into the sub $90,000 

plug-in hybrid class.
