Church bell rings again<br />
EXCITEMENT: The replacement bell at St Mary’s Anglican<br />
Church was dedicated on Sunday by Reverend John<br />
Shoaf, and rung for the first time by the church’s oldest<br />
parishioner, Patsy Restieaux.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
THE BELL is ringing again<br />
at St Mary’s Anglican Church<br />
in Halswell, more than a year<br />
after the original bell was<br />
stolen.<br />
The replacement bell was<br />
dedicated on Sunday by<br />
Reverend John Shoaf and was<br />
rung for the first time by the<br />
church’s oldest parishioner,<br />
Patsy Restieaux.<br />
The ring of the original<br />
154-year-old bell was a<br />
familiar sound to Patsy, who<br />
was baptised, confirmed and<br />
married at the church.<br />
Said Shoaf: “The new<br />
bell came originally from<br />
a Presbyterian church in St<br />
Andrews, in South Canterbury,<br />
through the help of the<br />
reverend Indrea Alexander,<br />
formerly of the Waimate<br />
Anglican parish.<br />
“It was great to have the<br />
bell ringing again, and the<br />
congregation gathered outside<br />
the church following the<br />
10.30am service to witness and<br />
hear the first official ringing –<br />
everyone was very excited.<br />
“Several of the children from<br />
our Sunday school rang it.”<br />
Patsy and family made a<br />
donation to the church to cover<br />
the cost of new fittings on the<br />
bell and the installation, which<br />
was completed by Rodger<br />
Vickers of RSV Consulting<br />
Ltd and Stephan Kennedy of<br />
Kennedy Engineering.<br />
“We hope and pray that the<br />
sound of the bell will call the<br />
faithful to church, and also<br />
encourage those who do not<br />
yet know Jesus Christ to come<br />
and see,” said Shoaf.<br />
The original 100kg bell<br />
was cast in bronze with a<br />
wrought iron clapper, made by<br />
J. Warner and Sons, and was<br />
inscribed with the words: “St<br />
Mary’s Halswell, gift of friends<br />
at home 1868.”<br />
Social media,<br />
crime link<br />
revealed in<br />
youth survey<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
MORE THAN 300 youth from<br />
Hornby have responded to a<br />
survey regarding their concerns<br />
about social media, youth<br />
offending, and mental health,<br />
respectively.<br />
Family service provider Te<br />
Whare Awhero sent out the Youth<br />
Voice Project survey in October<br />
with the aim of discovering how<br />
the adults of Hornby can best support<br />
the younger population.<br />
The survey asked seven key<br />
questions, ranging from the role<br />
of social media in the lives of<br />
students, to the pressures they feel<br />
and how this impacts their lives.<br />
The results showed from 319<br />
responses, more than 85 per cent<br />
of students in years 7 to 10 engage<br />
with social media<br />
and more than half<br />
of year 8 to year<br />
10 students engage<br />
with four plus<br />
platforms.<br />
“It indicates that<br />
Carey<br />
Ewing<br />
social media is not<br />
a niche activity,<br />
but a mainstream<br />
part of their lives,” said Te Whare<br />
Awhero director Carey Ewing.<br />
The connection between<br />
social media and exposure to<br />
criminal activity was explored<br />
in the survey, with 58.5 per cent<br />
of year 7 and 8 students and 46<br />
per cent of year 9 and 10 students<br />
reporting exposure to videos of<br />
criminal activity, crimes being<br />
committed, fights or ram raids.<br />

Projects to be ‘better off’ after funding<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
MORE THAN $90,000 has<br />
been allocated to go towards<br />
the improvement of community<br />
projects.<br />
The money, approved by the<br />
Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board,<br />
will help fund tennis court upgrades,<br />
a water system upgrade,<br />
shade sail instalments and a<br />
restoration project.<br />
$15,000 has been allocated to<br />
go towards replacement costs<br />
of the four astroturf courts at<br />
Burnside Tennis Club, $10,000<br />
to the Burnside Bowling Club for<br />
the upgrade of its water system,<br />
and $18,400 is to be transferred<br />
to the city council’s park unit to<br />
purchase two shade sails as part<br />
of the Westburn Reserve renewal<br />
project.<br />
The final approved funding of<br />
$50,000 will go to the Friends<br />
of the Christchurch Botanical<br />
Gardens towards its fundraising<br />
campaign to restore the Mona<br />
Vale bathhouse.<br />
Councillor Sam MacDonald<br />
said he was pleased local projects<br />
would be receiving some of the<br />
funding.<br />
“When the previous government<br />
announced Three Waters<br />
was happening, they gave us a<br />
pot of money known as ‘Better<br />
Off’ funding. We, as a council,<br />

IN WITH THE NEW: $18,400 will fund two shade sails as part of the Westburn Reserve renewal project, and Burnside<br />
Tennis Club has been awarded $15,000 towards the replacement of its astroturf courts.<br />
decided to split some of this off<br />
to each community board to<br />
support projects.”<br />
Better-off Funding is part of<br />
the Three Waters Reform process.<br />
The central government has<br />
set aside $2 billion nationwide<br />
for councils to use to improve<br />
amenities and outcomes for<br />
residents.<br />
The city council was allocated<br />
$30.61 million in the “Better<br />
Off Funding” tranche one, with<br />
a further $91.82 million to be<br />
allocated in tranche two next<br />
year.<br />
Recipients of the funding have<br />
started to plan how and when<br />
the money will be used.<br />

While the restoration of the<br />
Mona Vale Bath House has no<br />
start date as of yet, Friends of the<br />
Christchurch Botanical Gardens<br />
committee member Jeanette<br />
Christensen said the director of<br />
the gardens has already organised<br />
the rescoping of the area in<br />
order to figure out what needs to<br />
be done.<br />
“We’re looking to put semitropical<br />
plants in along with<br />
a water feature and seats. It’s<br />
a beautiful heritage building,<br />
and it will be very nice once it’s<br />
finished,” said Christensen.<br />
Burnside Bowling Club committee<br />
member Alan Bryce, said<br />
the upgrades “will be completed<br />
after the end of the current season”,<br />
which will be around the<br />
May/June period next year.<br />
Said Burnside Park Tennis<br />
club committee member Gillian<br />
Smeith: “Three of the Burnside<br />
tennis courts have already been<br />
resurfaced, and the fourth is<br />
to be completed in a fortnight<br />
which will be suited to pickleball<br />
too – apparently it’s the next big<br />
thing.”<br />
Kim Swarbrick, parks and<br />
recreation planner, said that the<br />
construction of the shade sails<br />
will begin mid-next year.<br />
The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board<br />
will spend their funding on a<br />
patrol car.<br />
“The board has approved<br />
$22,500 in Better Off funding<br />
for one project – which is to be<br />
used to help fund a patrol car for<br />
Hornby patrol,” said chair Helen<br />
Broughton.<br />
“We are breaking the funding<br />
up into equal parts for each of<br />
the three wards, but this is the<br />
first project to be officially gratified.”<br />
Papanui Ward chair Emma<br />
Norrish said: “The Waipapa<br />
Papanui-Innes-Central<br />
Community Board will likely<br />
have its meeting to decide its<br />
Better Off Funding allocations<br />
next year.”<br />

Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to sell a property at a time when<br />
the market was not favorable. It is times like that where an agent with<br />
Cameron’s experience and expertise is worth their salt. Unphased by what the<br />
market was doing, Cameron provided us with a realistic (and ultimately very<br />
accurate) expectations about what we might expect price wise, and he gave<br />
sage advice on how we were best to achieve a sale.<br />
There is no BS with Cameron - he and his team just focus on getting<br />
the job done. It is no accident that he is the number one agent at<br />
Harcourts.<br />

his knowledge into every aspect<br />
possible. An example of this is his<br />
interest in Halley’s Comet – which<br />
came as a result of a comets<br />
lesson in Mathematics. Johnny has<br />
arranged to meet other students<br />
in 2061 when the comet next passes by Earth. His humble and<br />
quiet demeanour are somewhat a cloak to the genius of the<br />
academic excellence that lies beneath, with classmates and<br />
teachers alike, fully aware of his capabilities. He is described as<br />
being dedicated, diligent, thoughtful, determined and thorough.<br />
This year Johnny has been an Academic Leader and Mentor<br />
and an active organiser of Gifted and Talented activities. He has<br />
also successfully participated in numerous competitions with<br />
his passion for success and solving problems hugely evident.<br />
His internal results this year are exclusively at Excellence level to<br />
form part of the 264 Excellence credits he has earned in NCEA.<br />
This year he is holding an A+ average in his Computer Science<br />
and Mathematics papers at Canterbury University where he<br />
plans to continue his studies in 2024 with in excess of $15 000<br />
of scholarships. At our awards evening he placed First Place<br />
in Physics, First Place in Calculus, Excellence in Chemistry and<br />
Excellence in Mathematics with Statistics, as well as a Noeline<br />
Clark Scholarship to UC.<br />

Survey prompts community to discuss<br />
how to better support young people<br />
• From page 1<br />
Seventy-two per cent of those<br />
respondents reported knowing<br />
the perpetrators of the crimes<br />
they had witnessed.<br />
One student, aged 17,<br />
responded to the survey question,<br />
“What role does social media<br />
play in your life?” saying, “social<br />
media is s**t and not healthy,<br />
it needs to be regulated or<br />
monitored for under 18s”.<br />
Another student, 15, answered<br />
the same question with: “It’s a<br />
way to share life experiences and<br />
communicate with one another.”<br />
Eighty-five per cent of the<br />
students responded to questions<br />
with an emphasis on the critical<br />
importance of support and wellbeing,<br />
and 70 per cent desired<br />
less pressure and expectations<br />
from adults and society to allow<br />
room for personal growth.<br />
Said a student in year 7: “Life<br />
would be better if adults knew<br />
that it just gets harder and harder<br />
at school the older you get,<br />
that pressures increase and it<br />
sometimes feels too much.<br />
“That the pressures come from<br />
school, teachers, parents, family<br />
and community to be something<br />
– to do this, to do that. I just need<br />
support.”<br />
Said Ewing: “75 per cent of<br />
respondents shared that when<br />
adults actively listen to their<br />
ideas, opinions and feelings,<br />
it validates their experiences<br />
and perspectives and makes<br />
them feel valued and respected,<br />
enhancing their self-esteem and<br />
self-expression.”<br />
Other answers related to peer<br />
influences include concerns<br />
of substance abuse, loneliness,<br />
safety concerns and gaps in<br />
understanding each other.<br />
Said Ewing: “The survey<br />
highlights the modern<br />
challenges of school life. The<br />
recurring theme of mental<br />
health underscores the urgency<br />
of addressing this critical issue<br />
among the youth. Initiatives<br />
promoting mental health<br />
awareness and access to resources<br />
are key.”<br />
Ewing said it was evident<br />
the role of social media “plays<br />
various roles in the lives of<br />
youth” including entertainment,<br />
emotional management,<br />
SUPPORT:<br />
More than 300<br />
young people<br />
in Hornby<br />
completed<br />
the sevenquestion<br />
survey,<br />
with findings<br />
highlighting<br />
the importance<br />
of positive<br />
feedback and<br />
support from<br />
adults.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
communication, and both<br />
“helpful and unhelpful aspects”.<br />
Said Ewing: “As we navigate<br />
the complexities of modern<br />
society, it is imperative to provide<br />
a platform for the voices of our<br />
youth to be heard.”<br />
Following the survey results,<br />
Te Whare Awhero with Hornby<br />
High School, CDN Trust, The<br />
Graeme Dingle Foundation and<br />
Hornby Youth Trust will be<br />
hosting a meeting from 7pm on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 29 at Hornby Club to<br />
discuss the findings.<br />
“The students told us they<br />
actually want interactions<br />
with trusted adults, to spend<br />
time and connect to the wider<br />
community,” said Ewing.<br />
“The focus of the hui is to<br />
encourage adults to take the<br />
time to invest in relationships<br />
with the young people around<br />
them.”<br />
Said Wigram MP Megan<br />
Woods, who will be closing the<br />
meeting: “Growing up has a lot<br />
of pressure, a lot of stresses and is<br />
complicated: we need to talk with<br />
our youth.<br />
“This meeting will be a great<br />
opportunity to build on the work<br />
of the Hornby community and<br />
organisations who have already<br />
put in the time to begin to<br />
understand their needs.”<br />
Youth affairs city councillor<br />
Tyla Harrison Hunt will MC<br />
the meeting, with speakers<br />
including youth health advocate<br />
Dame Sue Bagshaw, Hornby<br />
High School youth leaders, and<br />
support providers.<br />
• The meeting is free to<br />
attend and will be held<br />
at Hornby Working Men’s<br />
Club from 7-8.30pm on<br />

Christmas gifts sought for those<br />
sleeping rough or in foster care<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
IT’S THE TIME of year for<br />
holiday cheers and giving,<br />
and the Halswell Community<br />
Project’s Christmas tree<br />
collections are now under way.<br />
This year, the not-for-profit<br />
organisation has partnered<br />
with three agencies: Ngā Maihi<br />
(Steppingstones Trust/Odyssey<br />
House/Purapua Whetu), Open<br />
Home Foundation and City Mission<br />
Outreach, to help spread a<br />
little Christmas joy.<br />
“The Christmas Giving Tree is<br />
something we have done for the<br />
last few years to support people,<br />
although we support various<br />
groups throughout the year too<br />
through our regular collections,”<br />
said project manager Kate Cleverly.<br />
“The groups are generally recommended<br />
to us by members of<br />
our community or our networks<br />
so it varies from year to year.”<br />
Ngā Maihi is an intervention<br />
for people aged between <strong>16</strong> and<br />
24, who have been in Oranga<br />
Tamariki or Youth Justice care<br />
SHARING THE LOVE: The Halswell Community Project is<br />
accepting presents for its annual Christmas Giving Tree.<br />
for 90 days or more at any point<br />
in their lives and require support<br />
to transition into adulthood.<br />
Open Home Foundation works<br />
with children in respite or foster<br />
care, with its cornerstone value<br />
for every child and young person<br />
growing up to be in a secure,<br />
loving family and receive appropriate<br />
care.<br />
The City Mission Outreach<br />
team works with people sleeping<br />
rough on the streets, to look after<br />
them, help them into housing<br />
or emergency accommodation,<br />
and connect them with different<br />
services to get their lives back on<br />
track.<br />
Cleverly said the project was<br />
looking for donations of any<br />
new items, including portable<br />
radios and batteries, sunscreen,<br />
water bottles (300ml packs),<br />
tramping packs or backpacks,<br />
baseball caps or wide-brimmed<br />
hats, sunglasses, flasks, lip balm<br />
or zinc, waterproof ponchos and<br />
summer-appropriate clothing.<br />
Toiletry packs containing<br />
shampoo, conditioners, sanitary<br />
items, deodorant, toothbrushes<br />
and paste, cotton buds, body<br />
wash, soap, hairbrushes, razors,<br />
hair ties and shaving cream are<br />
also appreciated.<br />
Said Cleverly: “Any vouchers to<br />
purchase household or bedding<br />
items are also needed.<br />
“This year, Open Home have<br />
a few younger children around<br />
eight years of age, but mostly<br />
teenagers. Donations of anything<br />
for the teenage group would be<br />
hugely appreciated, along with<br />
toys, books or games for the 5-12<br />
age group.<br />
“Thank you to the community<br />
for all your help and support<br />
– donations of all items are<br />
very much appreciated. We do<br />
ask that all items be new only,<br />
please.”<br />

Toy library initiates drive for contributions<br />
SUSTAINABLE PLAY: Robbie Wordsworth having fun at the<br />
Halswell Toy Library.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
THE HALSWELL Toy Library<br />
may have more than 100<br />
members and 800 toys, but it<br />
needs more volunteers to help<br />
sustain its service.<br />
The library has also planned a<br />
Christmas toy drive to help raise<br />
funds and drive up membership.<br />
It is accepting donations of<br />
unwanted toys, games and<br />
puzzles in good condition.<br />
Said media and marketing<br />
committee member Jo Gilbert:<br />
“We’ll keep ones that are good<br />
for the library and they’ll be<br />
hired out, while the others<br />
will be sold at our event on 9<br />
December.<br />
“They would be perfect as a<br />
cheap present to give to a child<br />
who needs them and its a nice<br />
way to wrap up the end of the<br />
year for the library.”<br />
The charitable community<br />
service is looking for at least<br />
five more volunteers or “duty<br />
members” who can spare a few<br />
hours each year to help with<br />
tasks like counting and packing<br />
away toys, and cleaning and<br />
adding toys to the mix.<br />
Said library president Gemma<br />
Wistrand: “We’re looking for<br />
anyone with any spare time<br />
and a sense of initiative to help<br />
us spread the load around. You<br />
don’t need to have any specific<br />
skills, just a willingness to help<br />
out.”<br />
Duty members can join the<br />
library for $60 a year, while<br />
members who do not sign<br />
up for the duty roster pay<br />
$120 annually.<br />
Wistrand said many people<br />
don’t know the toy library is<br />
“just like a regular library, only<br />
for toys” and their catalogue of<br />
playthings is online.<br />
Said Gilbert: “Our community<br />
of more than 24,000 residents<br />
(figure from 2018) is one of the<br />
fastest growing in New Zealand,<br />
with almost 20 per cent of<br />
residents aged under 15 years old.<br />
“Thus, there are loads of people<br />
in our community who could<br />
benefit from our service, but we<br />
have only about 100 members.”<br />
The library is a non-profit<br />
community service run by a<br />
voluntary committee. It provides<br />
good quality toys for hire for<br />
children 6 months to 10 years<br />
old.<br />
Being reminded about Christmas<br />
deadlines is so terribly annoying.<br />

Refugees gain tech skills<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
TEN REFUGEES from Afghanistan,<br />
Eritrea and Somalia have started learning<br />
how to use and navigate technology, with<br />
the help of Hagley College and TechMate.<br />
The adult students were given eight<br />
laptops by charity TechMate to start<br />
a basic beginner computer skills<br />
programme on Tuesday evenings at the<br />
college.<br />
Diversity services manager Anne<br />
Galloway said the donations would be a<br />
big help.<br />
“Many former refugees and migrants<br />
have no financial resources to buy laptops<br />
and devices. They often have children<br />
at home and all want to have a good<br />
education,” she said.<br />
“Often, they don’t know how to access<br />
any information on the device either. No<br />
device and no knowledge of how to use<br />
devices is a barrier.”<br />
Hagley College has a range of<br />
programmes for supporting and<br />
furthering the education and employment<br />
of refugee background learners and new<br />
migrants, including maths, english, health<br />
studies, driving and<br />
languages.<br />
Said TechMate<br />
community co-ordinator<br />
Vanessa Simpson: “This<br />
is a lovely thing to be<br />
involved with, knowing<br />
that we are helping,<br />
supporting, and making a<br />
difference in people’s lives.<br />
“Without a laptop,<br />
Vanessa<br />
Simpson<br />
refugees would not be able to learn or, just<br />
as importantly, communicate with their<br />
family members who are still overseas.”<br />
Simpson has been working with the<br />
charity for about a year. It offers free<br />
lessons, laptop refurbishments, repairs<br />
and digital inclusion to those in need.<br />
It has given away just under <strong>16</strong>0<br />
laptops this year, made possible through<br />
a partnership with Recycle A Device.<br />
The company restores laptops that would<br />
otherwise go to landfill and diverts them<br />
to volunteers for repurposing.<br />

A Vet ConferenCe<br />
& CAMBoDIA<br />
Recently Steve, our eldest son Connor<br />
and I had the opportunity to attend the<br />
Singapore vet conference and then travel to<br />
Cambodia to catch up with a vet friend and<br />
experience the cuisine, culture and unique<br />
sites of Siem Reap.<br />
Singapore vet conference<br />
I’d never experienced Singapore before and<br />
it was quite unbelievable in many ways.<br />
Very clean and tidy, well organised with<br />
high rise appartments and commercial<br />
buildings covering the landscape. Loads of<br />
upmarket boutique stores, so much choice<br />
with food, just an easy place to live I’d<br />
imagine.<br />
The conference was fun. Most entertaining<br />
were the medicine lectures with David<br />
Church and his wife Jill Maddison.<br />
A power couple that just know it all.<br />
I was so impressed I introduced myself as<br />
a die hard fan over the years (I listen to<br />
their vet podcasts) and purchased their<br />
text “Clinical Reasoning”. I also enjoyed<br />
the Dentistry, Oncology, Surgical and<br />
Behavioural lectures. Lots of take home<br />
points to put into action at MMH vets.<br />
Highlights of Singapore had to be the<br />
Botanical gardens,<br />
cocktails in the<br />
rooftop pool,<br />
clothes shopping<br />
for Connor and<br />
discovering<br />
a Chilean<br />
Chardonnay…..<br />
and the “Jewel”.<br />
WOW.<br />
Next stop Siem<br />
Reap. We were<br />
The Jewel in<br />
Singapore airport<br />
Singapore at night<br />
the first ever flight<br />
to arrive in to the<br />
brand new airport<br />
built by the Chinese. Lots of important<br />
officials shaking our hands, drapping us in<br />
scarves and taking photos. Quite Surreal.<br />
Siem Reap was<br />
nothing like i’d<br />
imagined. So<br />
much hustle<br />
and bustle on<br />
the dirt roads<br />
with motorbikes<br />
jammed full of<br />
families and Tuk<br />
Tuks weaving<br />
in and out. Rice<br />
fields were dotted<br />
all over, and it was<br />
really colourful,<br />
with bright<br />
houses, clothing<br />
and road side stalls. Cambodians are<br />
Angkor Wat Temples<br />
generally a smiley, friendly, helpful people.<br />
I fell in love with them.<br />
Ta Prohm<br />
temple<br />

Indiana<br />
Jones<br />
was<br />
filmed<br />
The Apopo rats<br />
They made our<br />
holiday so much<br />
better as they were<br />
our tour guides<br />
when we visited the<br />
Kulen Elephants,<br />
the Angkor Wat<br />
temples, a city food<br />
tour and the Apopo<br />
rats that detect the<br />
hidden landmines<br />
(fabulous clever<br />
little creatures).<br />
There was so much<br />
to learn about the<br />
culture, their politics, arranged marriages<br />
and the wars they have lived through.<br />
My Friend has a vet practice, so we visited<br />
and got some glimpses of what its like to<br />
treat all animals in a 3rd World country,<br />
with virtually<br />
no diagnostic<br />
equipment<br />
in clinic and a<br />
sparce amount of<br />
drugs. Saw some<br />
unforgettable<br />
cases. We also<br />
fell in love with<br />
the cuisine,<br />
exquisite tastes,<br />
presentation and<br />
Steve blood sampling<br />
at Trish’s clinic<br />
price of food.<br />
Saw many<br />
street animals,<br />
packs of dogs<br />
and lone cats, moving free range through<br />
the city, like to gather at intersections. All<br />
looked happy, well fed and healthy. Didn’t<br />
approach me which was probably a good<br />
thing as I would have needed to befriend<br />
them…….Rabies risk intensified! The cows<br />
grazing where ever they pleased also<br />
looked content and well cared for.<br />
Was great fun for Steve and I travelling with<br />
Connor and attending a vet conference<br />
together. We all have our different interest<br />
areas and we love discussing lectures, cases<br />
and devising future plans. I think another<br />
family holiday to Asia is in order one day,<br />
with all 3 sons in tow ( maybe partners too).<br />
I just want to wish all MMH readers a safe,<br />
healthy, sunny Christmas and summer<br />
holidays, enjoying special fun times with<br />
family and friends. See you again in 2024<br />
where I will be writing in The Star.<br />

UNEXPECTED WINDFALL: The Coniston Ave property was<br />
well presented and attracted families and those wanting to<br />
live close to the university.<br />
PHOTOS: NZ HERALD<br />
Auction battle leaves couple $252k richer<br />
• By Nikki Preston<br />
THE OWNER of a fourbedroom,<br />
two-bathroom home<br />
in Ilam got an unexpected<br />
windfall when their home sold<br />
under the hammer for $1.202m<br />
– $252,000 more than what they<br />
were banking on.<br />
The brought-forward auction<br />
for the four-bedroom,<br />
two-bathroom brick home on<br />
Coniston Ave at the Harcourts<br />
Gold auction room attracted six<br />
bidders who battled it out for<br />
the property.<br />
Bidding opened at $950,000,<br />
which was the price the owners<br />
had accepted and moved the<br />
auction ahead of schedule, but<br />
it continued for<br />
several hundred<br />
thousand dollars<br />
more.<br />
Harcourts<br />
Grenadier salesperson<br />
Andrew<br />
Steel said by the<br />
time it reached<br />
around the<br />
Andrew<br />
Steel<br />
$1.1m mark there were just two<br />
bidders left fighting for it.<br />
“As it was between the two<br />
there was a bit of toing and froing<br />
and then it hit the $1.2m, and<br />
the other party ended up paying<br />
a couple of thousand more, and<br />
that just closed it off.”<br />
The home seemed to hit a<br />
sweet spot with buyers, he<br />
said, and they even held an impromptu<br />
open home after it was<br />
listed because of all the interest<br />
it received. The first open home<br />
attracted 12 groups and then<br />
another 48 groups viewed it over<br />
the first weekend of open homes.<br />
The home was well-presented<br />
and the owners had done their<br />
homework by getting all the<br />
information such as building<br />
reports ready for prospective<br />
buyers.<br />
But neither he or the owner<br />
had anticipated the house would<br />
sell for $1.202m.<br />
“The surprise was the result.<br />
But I had intimated to people<br />
where I saw values, but it just<br />
went north of that. It was well<br />
above the vendor’s expectations<br />
because they had already<br />
accepted $950,000 so they were<br />
happy to sell at $950,000,” said<br />
Steel.<br />
The main interest in the<br />
property was from people who<br />
were looking at it as a family<br />
home or parents who were<br />
buying it for their children to live<br />
in and attend university.<br />
“Not treating it as a varsity flat,<br />
but that they could get to varsity<br />
because it was not that far away.”<br />

Latest Lexus RZ strong and purposeful<br />
THE RZ 450e is the second<br />
Lexus to go fully electric and<br />
follows in the footsteps of the<br />
compact UX SUV launched here<br />
about 18 months ago.<br />
Its twin, the bZ4X, is the first<br />
all electric Toyota, and goes on<br />
sale from early next year. The<br />
Lexus version beats it onto our<br />
market by about six months.<br />
While new here, this model has<br />
been available for some time<br />
overseas including the USA.<br />
Toyota offers two models<br />
– the Front-wheel drive Pure<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
for $72,990 with a $10k price<br />
premium slapped on the AWD<br />
Motion. The considerably more<br />
expensive RZ is a two-model<br />
affair leading off with the<br />
$141,600 Core lined up for this<br />
road test. There’s an extra $10k<br />
hit on your wallet for the flagship<br />
Dynamic. The company is<br />
accelerating its EV development<br />
and aims to have a full range of<br />
Battery Electric Vehicles across<br />
the entire Lexus range by 2030.<br />
Because this model is built on<br />
a new e-TNGA platform, it gives<br />
Lexus the flexibility to<br />
create a range of vehicles<br />
with different motor<br />
sizes, battery types and<br />
drive systems. The thin,<br />
high-capacity 71.4kW/h<br />
battery pack is placed flat<br />
under the floor, to achieve<br />
a low centre of gravity.<br />
The approximate driving<br />
range is 470km using the<br />
overly optimistic New European<br />
Driving Cycle (NEDC). Most<br />
owners will struggle to achieve<br />
that sort of range in every day<br />
driving<br />
Both RZ 450e variants use new<br />
eAxle technology integrating the<br />
transaxle, motor generator and<br />
inverter with a mighty 230kW<br />
total output (150kW front and<br />
80kW rear motor). The test car’s<br />
performance was strong and<br />
purposeful and with plenty of<br />
that to draw on when needed,<br />
to spirit this fairly large and<br />
chunky SUV along in impressive<br />
fashion. Drive in the pace and<br />
purpose space for prolonged<br />
periods, which is easy enough to<br />
do given the exhilarating driving<br />
experience, and the EV range<br />
quickly evaporates.<br />
Throttle response is swift<br />
enough to mow down the 0 to<br />
100km/h sprint in less than seven<br />
seconds. The instant acceleration<br />
of the electrified system makes<br />
most conventional engines seem<br />
lethargic. It’s remarkable to think<br />
all the vehicle’s electrified thrust<br />
is superbly managed by a single<br />
speed automatic that operates<br />
with relentless accuracy and<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build<br />

Overall points out of 10: 7.5<br />
precision.<br />
A spacious cabin offers an<br />
abundance of practical and<br />
usable passenger and cargo space.<br />
Instruments and controls are<br />
designed with trademark Lexus<br />
attention to detail, and perfectly<br />
positioned so they are easy for<br />
the driver to read and use.<br />
This is Lexus New Zealand’s<br />
first dedicated electric battery<br />
model and is also the first<br />
vehicle to score a maximum<br />
five stars against the recently<br />
updated Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program (ANCAP)<br />
protocols, the strictest safety<br />
testing ever in Australia and New<br />
Zealand.<br />
The RZ features a range of<br />
safety measures that includes<br />
frontal, side, and curtain airbags,<br />
as well as a knee airbag for the<br />
front seats. A centre airbag,<br />
standard across all variants,<br />
provides added protection to<br />
front seat occupants in side<br />
impact crashes<br />
A high-voltage battery parked<br />
up in the floor between the axles<br />
ensures a low centre of gravity,<br />
which has a positive impact<br />
on the vehicle’s agility and<br />
cornering.<br />
I liked the even-natured ride<br />
and handling, and its cool, calm<br />
and composed management<br />
of the unrelenting rigours and<br />
demands of our roads, terrain<br />
and weather.<br />
The test vehicle’s mettle<br />
and resolve both received a<br />
thorough examination over some<br />
challenging rural gravel roads. It<br />
had to endure what were at times<br />
a constant barrage of bruising<br />
bumps and potholes, and<br />
confidently front footed it all.<br />
Both ride comfort and<br />
handling were hard to fault,<br />
and underline just some of the<br />
qualities that are making Lexus<br />
one of the fasted growing luxury<br />
brands in New Zealand.<br />
