Coastguard turns 

on great day for 

its 125th 

A huge downpour didn’t deter about 200 people from attending Coastguard Sumner’s open day on Sunday. 

It was part of the organisation’s 125th anniversary celebrations. Supporters were able to tour the station, 

partake in a sausage sizzle – and find out what happens when the station’s siren goes off. At the sound 

of the siren all three Coastguard Sumner vessels took to the water for rescue simulations, with supporters 

crowding onto the breakwater to watch the action. 

Residents 

plan for 

future 

disasters 

• By Dylan Smits 

COMMUNITIES from Sumner 

to Diamond Harbour are 

organising emergency plans to 

respond to the risks of climate 

change and natural disaster. 

Lyttelton volunteers are leading 

the way by setting up a community-run 

emergency hub. 

The city council anticipates up 

to one metre of sea level rise by 

2100 – worrying for coastal areas 

like Lyttelton and Sumner. 

“Getting people to volunteer 

these days can be tricky, and I 

think it is great that people want 

to be involved in this kind of initiative,” 

Lyttelton Emergency Hub 

facilitator Felicite Jardine said. 

The renewal of a community-led 

disaster response was prompted 

by the release of Canterbury Civil 

Defence guidelines in March. 

For the past eight months 

Jardine has been co-ordinating 

efforts to set up the hub, which 

will operate as a centre for people 

to find safety and support in a 

disaster. 

Jardine said the training of its 

12 volunteers is going well and 

the hub will be fully prepared to 

respond in the new year.

Care package brings hope to mums 

• By Sasha Watson 

BROOKE NAUDE remembers 

the gift that gave her hope. 

Soon after her newborn son 

Callum was admitted to the 

neonatal intensive car unit in 

June last year, Naude received a 

care package from charity One 

Mother to Another. 

“I was pregnant with my first 

baby and everything was fine as 

far as I knew, then all of a sudden 

. . . I had an emergency C-section 

so my newborn son went straight 

into NICU after that,” said 

Naude. 

“There was a lot of grieving 

. . . a lot of unknowns and a lot 

of worry . . . riding those ups and 

downs was really difficult. 

“I honestly felt like we were 

never going to leave the neonatal 

unit and I get emotional just 

thinking about that because it 

was really hard to remain hopeful.” 

A few days after Callum was 

born prematurely, Naude was 

gifted the package. 

Said Naude: “It was just so 

impactful . . . When you’re in 

this sterile hospital environment 

where everything is new and 

unfamiliar and foreign to you, 

it was a touch of warmth and 

compassion.

From war-torn Afghanistan and 

National's new Banks 

Peninsula MP Vanessa 

Weenink was once an 

army medic serving 

in hot spots like 

Afghanistan and East 

Timor. She was also a 

Labour Party member 

before switching 

political allegiances. 

She talks to reporter 

Dylan Smits 

OVERSEAS military service 

is difficult to balance with 

motherhood, but Vanessa 

Weenink says it was worth it to 

serve her country. 

“It was a huge sacrifice to 

make,” she said. 

As a medical officer, Weenink 

achieved the rank of major when 

she was called up to serve two 

tours in Afghanistan and one 

tour in East Timor from 2005 to 

2007. 

“I’ve always wanted to serve 

my country.” 

Weenink said she could cope 

with being away from her 6 

month old son with the understanding 

she was caring for other 

vulnerable children in need. 

In the middle of her second 

Afghanistan tour Weenink was 

stationed at the New Zealand 

base in Bamyan province. While

Mad on Meth - How New 

Zealand got hooked on P 

by Benedict Collins 

Why cook at home when you can order in? 

Only 50 years ago, pure methamphetamine was legally prescribed in 

New Zealand to anyone looking for a boost. But it wasn’t long before P 

was rebranded as the most dangerous and destructive drug in the world - 

this quality. 

Our Price: $79.95m2 

(that’s $21.85m2) 

and New Zealanders cemented as among its biggest users. 

With dry wit and biting insight, journalist Benedict Collins takes us inside the evolution 

of meth in New Zealand. From ram raids for pseudoephedrine to our own cooks and 

gangs ‘breaking bad’, a visit to the Golden Triangle of meth production in South-East Asia, 

multimillion-dollar busts, and a moral panic that seeded a meth-testing scandal. All set 

the stage for unthinkable crimes and drug-fuelled mania, but also serviced a hidden world 

of white-collar users - and cemented New Zealand’s reputation as among the biggest meth 

consumers in the world. 

How did tough on crime become dumb on drugs? And what does a solution to Pure 

addiction look like? 

The Frozen River 

by Ariel Lawhon 

A gripping historical mystery inspired by the life and diary of Martha Ballard, a renowned 

18th-century midwife who investigates a shocking murder that unhinges her small 

community. 

Maine, 1789: The Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice. Martha Ballard is 

summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As the local midwife and 

healer, Martha is good at keeping secrets. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, 

every murder and debacle that unfolds in the town of Hallowell. In that diary she also 

documented the details of an alleged rape that occurred four months earlier. Now, one of 

the men accused of that heinous attack has been found dead in the ice. 

While Martha is certain she knows what happened the night of the assault, she suspects 

that the two crimes are linked, and that there is more to both cases than meets the eye. 

Over the course of one long, hard winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices 

mount, Martha’s diary lands at the center of the scandal and threatens to tear both her 

family and her community apart. 

Ariel Lawhon brings to life a brave and compassionate unsung heroine who refused to 

accept anything less than justice on behalf of those no one else would protect. The Frozen 

River is a thrilling, tense, and tender story of a remarkable woman who had the courage to 

take a stand, and in the process wrote herself into American history.

Cartoonist Alex Hallatt is one

it did in the February 22, 2011 

earthquake – due to a climate

“If we work on it in advance, 

then it means we can get the

Hallatt’s training is ongoing 

until mid-December. The 

volunteers are taking part in 

workshops on emergency communications 

and drilling the 

set-up of the hub. 

“It is like the best kind of insurance

planning for a disaster.” 

Hallatt encourages any interested 

Lyttelton residents to 

volunteer. 

“You are planning for a disaster, 

but by getting involved with 

the hub now you can have a real 

laugh,” she said. 

Charteris Bay resident Jill 

Pattinson is heading the steering 

committee for the community 

response in the Harbour Basin 

area. 

Pattinson said the steering 

committee’s focus is helping 

residents’ 

associations in 

the area 

set up their 

own disaster 

plans, and 

facilitate 

expert advice. 

Emergency 

Jill Pattinson hubs will be a 

part of larger 

preparedness strategy. 

With the threat of climate 

change induced events like wildfires, 

Pattinson said communities 

felt “that they actually needed to 

take greater control of minimising 

the risks in the area”. 

Creating an overall fire plan is 

the first priority for the individual 

residents’ associations. 

“I have found wonderful responses 

from all the associations 

and great enthusiasm.” 

Pattinson said the committee 

has been following the Lyttelton 

hub’s progress closely. 

“We have kept in communication 

around what can be achieved 

together.” 

In Sumner, the residents’ 

association is in earlier stages of 

local disaster 

preparation 

and following a 

different route to 

meet local needs. 

SCRA chair 

Liza Sparrow 

said the association 

is seeking 

funding and Liza Sparrow 

volunteers for the 

development of a mass evacuation 

plan for Sumner and Taylors 

Mistake. 

This plan would take priority 

over an emergency hub due to 

the disaster risks associated with 

Sumner’s location, such as tsunami, 

rockfall, fire and flood. 

Sparrow said this plan would 

also be co-ordinated with 

Lyttelton and other nearby communities. 

Volunteers from the Lyttelton 

hub and Harbour Basin 

representatives were scheduled 

to meet yesterday afternoon 

for the next stage of preparing 

their communities, including 

attending a Civil Defence session 

learning about communication 

in an emergency.

The tradie saving charities ‘thousands’ 


FINDING THE community 

where you belong can inspire 

great generosity. For Australian 

electrician Mick Bennett, 

moving to Cass Bay in 2016 

sparked his desire to offer free 

services to charities. 

Bennett founded Tradies for 

Charity in 2017 to help charities 

save on repair, installation and 

building costs by offering free 

labour and expertise. 

Balancing charity work with 

running his small electrical 

company can be a challenge, but 

Bennett said it is worth it. 

“It is so rewarding that I 

almost feel guilty. It feels like I 

get more out of it than I could 

ever give.” 

The charity has tooled up 

for jobs in the bays at Te Puna 

Auaha Lyttelton Makerspace 

and the Whakaraupo Carving 

Centre Trust. In Christchurch, 

the charity has supported the 

Battered Women’s Trust and 

Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust. 

Bennett enlists the help of other 

tradies when the job type and 

workload demands it. 

Born in Melbourne, in his 

adult life Bennett has seldom 

lived in one place for too long. 

Until he moved to Cass Bay with 

his wife Meredith. 

“I came here and got more 

connected with the community 

and settled and sort of found 

my resting place in the world 

here in Lyttelton and in the bay,” 

Bennett said. 

The values he saw in the 

community inspired him to start 

charitable work. 

“It’s very sort of open and 

forgiving and very, you know, 

considerate and empathetic,” he 

said. 

When his business Ausmic 

Electrical started making a 

profit, Bennett considered where 

he could apply his skills for 

charities. He then found there 

were no organisations looking 

for electricians. 

“I sort of got a bit deflated with 

that.” 

Bennett then started talking 

with Meredith and she suggested 

starting his own charity. He 

registered Tradies for Charity 

as a charitable trust. Bennett 

said no money goes through his 

charity and he tries his best to 

separate it from his business. 

Makerspace co-founder Paul 

Dietsche could not give an 

exact number but said Bennett 

had saved the organisation 

“easily thousands” of dollars in 

electrical work. 

Bennett saved the Makerspace 

from needing additional funding 

HELPING HAND: 

Tradies for 

Charity founder 

Mick Bennett 

and Whakaraupo 

Carving Centre 

Trust employee 

Eugene 

Whakatope. 

for the electrical work, Dietsche 

said. 

The Makerspace has been a 

work in progress since 2019. The 

space aims to become a hub for 

repair, craft and creative projects. 

Tools and materials will be 

shared and recycled within the 

community. 

Dietsche said Bennett has his 

“massive thanks” for being a 

great partner to the community 

hub. 

“He is a great guy.” 

Out of all the jobs Bennett has 

undertaken since starting the 

charity, he is most proud of his 

work wiring up the Makerspace. 

“To get it to the point where 

they can actually start utilising 

it, it’s been very, very fulfilling.” 

Bennett appreciates the 

gratitude of the organisations 

he helps, but said the fulfilment 

of doing the job itself is all he 

needs. 

He has lost track of the 

number of jobs, small and 

large, he has undertaken since 

founding the charity. 

The work keeps Bennett 

busy. He has several ongoing 

projects for the charity. At 

the Whakaraupo Carving 

Centre Trust, Bennett tests new 

appliances for safety and trains 

the staff to do the same. 

A struggle for Bennett is 

finding other tradies who are 

generous enough to give their 

time for free. 

“It’s quite difficult. It usually 

ends up just being me. It’s hard 

to find people,” Bennett said. 

The charity needs plumbers 

and builders. Bennett has some 

building experience, but for 

more complex jobs he needs a 

qualified builder for sign offs. 

“If there is any tradies 

interested, yeah, give us a shout.”

What a difference a year makes 

PREDATOR FREE Allandale 

celebrated its first birthday this 

month with a community dinner 

at Living Springs. 

Prizes were awarded to the top 

trappers, and each member left 

with a Predator Free Allandale 

sign to display on their front 

gate. 

PFA is a community predator 

control project led by Living 

Springs’ Kaimahi for Nature 

team. 

The group aims to eradicate 

possums, rats and mustelids 

from 1190ha around Allandale 

in Governors Bay, to protect the 

native plant and animal life in 

forested gullies, waterways and 

rocky outcrops. 

Twenty landowners have 

signed up, and the KfN crew 

have helped place more than 140 

traps on local properties. 

Team leader for KfN Living 

Springs Henare Nathan said the 

project has been “a roaring success”. 

She said monitoring over 

the past 12 months has shown a 

huge decline in populations of 

target species in Living Springs. 

“We’ve never seen anything 

like this before – the numbers of 

rats and possums are unprecedentedly 

low,” she said. 

While the KfN team was 

essential to get the project off 

the ground, Nathan said PFA 

“only works because of the 

community effort”. 

The KfN team has instituted 

trophies to celebrate residents’ 

achievements. The Possum Cup 

went to Aaron Warner for trapping 

the most possums, while 

Grant Zuydendorp was crowned 

PFA champion 2023 for his 114 

mice, rats and stoats. 

Zuydendorp said the secret 

to his success was checking his 

traps daily. 

“I check my traps every single 

day while I’m out walking the 

dog,” he said. 

PFA trapper Seb Double, 13, 

runs his family’s trapline. He has 

been racking up big numbers in 

Ōhinetahi and has his sights set 

on both trophies for 2024. 

He’s passionate about the 

project. 

“I love being out in nature and 

seeing all the birds,” he said. 

With KfN funding ending in 

March next year, groups like PFA 

are vital to keep the conservation 

work alive. 

Over the past three years, KfN 

has planted thousands of native 

trees and undertaken large-scale 

predator control work to protect 

native species in Whakaraupō 

Lyttelton Harbour. 

With trappers like Warner, 

Zuydendorp and Double onboard, 

they can be sure they’re 

leaving the harbour in good 

hands.

Budding stars set sights on Dubai 


THREE promising cricketers 

from Redcliffs and Sumner are 

just months away from playing in 

an international tournament in 

the Middle East. 

Kate Sharpe, 14, and Lily 

Rumball, 13, (Redcliffs) and 

Daisy Thake, 14, (Sumner) are 

in the South Island under-15 

girls’ team, who will play in the 

inaugural Dubai Cup in April. 

Daisy said she is “really 

excited” about the opportunity. 

“It is going to be lots of fun 

and I’m so pleased to have been 

selected.” 

The South Island team are 

being coached by retired White 

Fern Kirsty Bond, the first female 

player to score a double century 

in 1996, in a test cricket match 

against England. 

The tournament is being hosted 

by England star Joe Root’s R66T 

Academy. 

The Dubai Cup will give the 

teams the opportunity to be 

coached by academy coaches, as 

well as play in fixtures at the ICC 

Academy and the Dubai Sevens 

Stadium. 

Louisa Sharpe said her 

daughter, Kate, “can’t wait to play 

other teams from around the 

world. That’s really special.” 

Sharpe said the girls are very 

grateful to learn skills from a 

former professional. 

ON THE UP: Kate Sharpe (left), Lily Rumball and Daisy 

Thake are looking forward to next year’s Dubai Cup, where 

some games will be played at the Dubai Sevens Stadium. 

The team has been fundraising 

since August to help pay for 

flights, accommodation and 

tournament fees which will cost 

over $6000 each. 

As a team, the girls they have 

set up fundraising quiz nights 

and are now making and selling 

cookie jars. They are also looking 

for businesses to sponsor their 

training T-shirts. 

Jane Thake, mother of Daisy, 

said the tournament is a great 

opportunity for the girls to 

compete despite the cost. 

“I think it will be an amazing 

experience. For girls’ cricket 

there is not much. There is not a 

regular school tournament, like 

the boys have, for girls who love 

cricket as a sport.” 

The girls have also been 

preparing for the tournament 

through their school club games 

which Daisy said have been going 

“really well.” 

The three girls recently play 

in the Gillette Venus Cup at 

Hagley Park. Christchurch Girls’ 

High School First XI team won, 

sending the team to nationals.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 19 

Te Rā o te Pāhua (the day of plunder) 

NOVEMBER 5 marks a dark day 

in the history of race relations 

in Aotearoa New Zealand. The 

shadow of events in Parihaka 

stretches from the mountain 

of Taranaki to the shores of 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour 

and beyond. 

Māori peacefully united in 

Parihaka for their survival and 

the cultivation of their soil in 

the face of land confiscation 

and the concentrated efforts of 

imperial forces. The values of 

peaceful protest and non-violent 

resistance preceded the time 

of Gandhi and has become 

a practice echoed in protest 

movements since. The values of 

this movement must be acknowledged, 

especially in their continuation 

within the challenging 

environments and the people the 

prisoners and remaining whānau 

were met with in the aftermath 

of Te Rā o te Pāhua. 

The following is an extract 

from the book Rāpaki Church A 

Sesquicentennial 1869-2019 by 

Ngāti Wheke kaumātua Donald 

Couch. 

Parihaka 

Parihaka is a Māori 

community in Taranaki. The 

name is now associated in New 

Zealand history with nonviolent 

resistance by Māori to 

European forceful occupation 

of confiscated Māori land, and 

their subsequent treatment. 

In 1870, 74 Māori from 

Pakakohi, Taranaki, received 

death sentences imposed by 

courts-martial. The sentences 

were later commuted to 

imprisonment in Dunedin for 

terms of three or seven years. 

Subsequently, it was officially 

recorded that 18 of the 74 died 

there. 

One of the ways non-violent 

resistance was practised was to 

plough confiscated land. About 

420 plowmen were subsequently 

imprisoned. Another method 

was to build fences. None of 

the 216 arrested in 1879 were 

granted a trial. They were sent 

directly to South Island prisons. 

On November 5, 1881, 1600 

troops and cavalry (including 

MEMORIAL: The Parihaka monument at Rāpaki church acknowledging the Parihaka men, and the women and children 

who were left undefended in their absence. It is surrounded in unity with plaques from Waikato, Ngāti Kahungungu ki 

Wairarapa and Te Tai Tokerau. 

Harry Ell, later of Port Hills 

Summit Rd fame), entered 

the village of Parihaka. 

Sixteen hundred inhabitants 

were expelled and dispersed 

throughout Taranaki without 

food or shelter. Soldiers looted 

and destroyed most of the 

buildings at Parihaka. The 

leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai 

and Tohu Kākahi were arrested 

and jailed for 16 months. 

As the Waitangi Tribunal 

reported in 1996, “a vibrant and 

productive Māori community 

was destroyed (with) total state 

control of all matters Māori.” 

More than 400 Māori were 

arrested and jailed in the South 

Island where they remained 

without trial for as long as 

16 months. This was done 

via a series of new repressive 

laws, which permitted the 

Government to postpone trials 

indefinitely. 

The Government moved all 

Parihaka prisoners to the South 

Island, incarcerating them in 

jails in Dunedin, Hokitika, 

Lyttelton and Rīpapa (later to 

Ōtamahua Quail Island). There 

were an increasing number of 

deaths in custody in the freezing 

South Island jails. 

In March 2000, descendants 

of Parihaka prisoners visited 

Rāpaki during a heke to Te 

Waipounamu to visit the places 

where their tīpuna had been 

imprisoned or buried. 

Unfortunately, compared 

with the Parihaka prisoners 

sent to Dunedin and Hokitika, 

where some details of their 

experiences are available, there 

is little information about 

those who were imprisoned in 

Whakaraupō. The Waitangi 

Tribunal confirmed that neither 

the Government nor the media 

wanted information released. 

In 1881, the Lyttelton Times 

declined the publication of an 

article on the prisoners because 

“our correspondent gives details 

which are really too disgusting 

for publication and if true, 

cast the utmost disgrace upon 

those who had the prisoners in 

charge”. 

And, in Parliament the Native 

Minister gave only vague replies, 

such as “the deaths amongst 

Māoris have been very few in 

proportion to the numbers of the 

prisoners . . .” 

But die they unfortunately and 

undoubtedly did on Ōtamahua. 

Rāpaki offered manaaki with 

burial in a Māori urupā on 

Māori whenua. As the Rāpaki 

urupā Parihaka monument 

states, the prisoners that died on 

Ōtamahua Island were buried 

on the island, but Rāpaki people 

exhumed and reinterred them 

back at Rāpaki urupā. 

In June 2017, the Crown 

made a formal apology. Chris 

Finlayson, Minister for Treaty 

of Waitangi Negotiations and 

Attorney General of New 

Zealand, on behalf of the Crown, 

acknowledged the past events 

at Parihaka as “among the most 

shameful in the history of our 

land.”

Does Mazda’s 1.9-litre diesel turbo deliver? 

MAZDA IS hoping for an uplift 

in buyer interest in two of the 

most affordable versions of its 

BT-50 Ute, as it feels the sales 

heat from a host fresh faced rivals 

including the latest Ford Ranger. 

Their response to this challenge 

is a new 1.9 litre turbo-diesel 

motor for its price leading 2WD 

GSX and GTX double cabs, the 

only body style offered here. 

Can this motor, with its modest 

engine capacity and power 

output, add more spring to the 

BT50’s sales step, which has been 

a bit flat footed of late? 

Let’s refresh your memory, 

after all the latest BT50 has been 

around since early 2021. Apart 

from cosmetic differences, it is a 

rebadged Isuzu D-Max. The two 

companies signed up to a model 

sharing arrangement, once 

they parted company with their 

previous model share partners 

Ford and Holden. 

Offering a 1.9 litre turbo diesel 

gives the BT50 a major point of 

difference over its rivals with 

its low CO2 output of 205g/km. 

Mazda claim it’s the lowest CO2 

figure of any diesel double cab 

Ute on our market. This means it 

attracts a lower government clean 

car fee than most of it rivals. 

Many of them are feeling the 

pain of higher fees that came into 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

force on 1 July, adding in many 

instances anywhere between $5- 

6k to the price of some models. 

That’s a real affordability body 

blow for several Utes compared 

to the fee they faced pre-1 July. 

There was the expected mad 

scramble, as people raced to 

register their new Ute to head-off 

the heftier fees now at play in 

our diesel Ute arena. This has 

distorted the market to some 

degree by dragging forward 

by months thousand of new 

Ute sales. These will lose some 

momentum between now and the 

end of the year as our economy 

continues to slow. 

When it comes to clean car 

fees the 1.9 litre motor saves a 

fair wad of your hard earned 

cash compared to the 3.0 litre 

turbo diesel in its AWD sibling. 

The smaller 1.9 litre power plant 

incurs a $1,868 fee, which is 

$3,767 less than what you will be 

hit with for the 3.0 litre engine 

found in the AWD BT50. 

This new smaller motor 

capacity is exclusive to the price 

leading GSX and mid-spec GTX 

2WD. The GSX supplied for this 

road test heads the BT50’s value 

for money charge at $48,740 

plus the clean car fee with the 

more generously appointed 

GTX retailing for $52,740. A 

decent deal sweetener is a 5 

year/150,000km new vehicle 

warranty and $250 fixed price 

servicing for the same period and 

distance. A freebie lobbed in for 

good measure, is unlimited km 

5-year Mazda On-Call Roadside 

Assistance. 

This frugal four-cylinder 

turbo diesel is feisty enough with 

110kW of power and 350Nm of 

torque. The latter is about 100nm 

down on the larger 3.0-litre put 

to work in AWD BT50’s. Despite 

less power and torque its towing 

capabilities are only marginally 

down on these models at 3,000kg 

braked or 750kg unbraked. 

Maximum payload increases to 

1150kg for the 2WD GSX and 

1,130kg for the GTX. 

The Isuzu sourced 1.9-litre 

“It’s a tough wee motor, yet unexpectedly 

smooth and refined.” 

is widely used in BT50 and 

D-Max models sold in Southeast 

Asian markets, including 

Thailand where both models 

are produced. It’s a tough wee 

motor, yet unexpectedly smooth 

and refined. Acceleration from 

standing starts and in-gear is 

brisk, but you are always aware 

that with its modest engine 

capacity, it has to work harder 

for the same results delivered by 

the larger diesels powering in 

its competitors. Enabling it to 

punch above its weight is a smart 

six-speed automatic well versed 

in selecting the right gear at the 

right time. 

A generously proportioned 

cabin has plenty of front and 

rear legroom, while the seats 

are supportive and comfy. The 

instruments and controls for key 

functions such as lights, wipers 

and indicators are easy to operate 

and read. 

Visibility from the elevated 

seating position is hard to fault 

and for a long vehicle this one 

proved easier to park than I 

thought it would be. An excellent 

reversing camera and its parking 

guides make squeezing in and 

out of tight parks a drama free 

exercise. For a price-driven 

model the GSX lacks for little in 

the way of features and driver 

creature comforts. A touch 

screen infotainment system 

supports both Apple CarPlay 

and Android Auto, with a multiinformation 

display providing 

key driving information are 

standard. 

All BT-50’s have a 5-Star 

ANCAP Safety Rating under a 

more demanding testing regime 

introduced in 2022. This is the 

first BT50 fitted with a driver 

knee airbag and a driver’s farside 

air bag. Anti-whiplash front 

seats reduce the severity of neck 

injuries in a rear end impact. 

There’s greater pedestrian 

protection from a more human 

friendly bonnet designed to 

reduce injury in a crash. 

This model adds more pages to 

the BT50 safety success story led 

by a host of class-leading active 

safety technologies to help keep 

the driver out of trouble. These 

include Autonomous Emergency 

Braking with Pedestrian/Cyclist 

Detection, Adaptive Cruise 

Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, 

and Lane Departure Warning. 

The delicate balance between 

ride comfort and road holding is 

right on the mark and as good as 

you will find among the current 

crop of Utes. This has been 

achieved without compromising 

the vehicles durability and 

strength, with the GSX offering 

plenty of both. With the BT-50 

you get as standard class leading 

suspension refinement, although 

the firmer rear spring settings 

make its low-speed ride over 

uneven surfaces fidgety. 

The test Ute cornered 

confidently, with the experience 

made more enjoyable by well 

weighted and communicative 

steering.

With panoramic coastal views from 

almost every perspective, this home 

seamlessly merges the striking allure of 

its surroundings with a design optimised 

for entertainment, balancing easy 

maintenance, expansive outdoor spaces, 

and convenient access. 

Constructed from a combination of 

concrete block and plaster, the exterior 

has undergone stringent maintenance 

and repair under the watchful eye of the 

vendor, ensuring minimal upkeep and 

peace of mind for the incoming owner. 

Several interior enhancements have been 

executed throughout their ownership, 

including new flooring and an upgraded 

ensuite and main bathroom, and while 

there’s potential for further refinements, 

the home currently radiates comfort and 

liveability. 

The approx 240sqm layout is superbly 

balanced, featuring three bedrooms and 

two bathrooms. The upper-level primary 

bedroom comes complete with a walk-in 

wardrobe and ensuite, while a groundfloor 

bedroom and bathroom promote 

accommodation flexibility. The dual 

living area amplifies its bond with the 

outdoors, seamlessly merging with the vast 

courtyard and terraced garden, setting the 

stage for exceptional alfresco gatherings. 

Furthermore, these strategically placed 

courtyards capture the warmth of the late 

afternoon sun from the west and embrace 

the morning rays from the east. Coupled 

with a louvred system, they offer privacy 

within a harmoniously landscaped, lowmaintenance 

garden with a balanced 

spatial design. 

Heightened comfort is confirmed 

by double glazing, and a heat pump, 

while the internal access double garage 

enjoys extensive ceiling clearance and 

accompanying off-street parking. 

Occupying an approx 795 sqm section, 

the property is primed for maximum 

sunlight and boasts enviable proximity to 

the beach, Redcliffs School, and village, 

ensuring its appeal will be wide-reaching.

Mission Without Borders 

visit the Sechka’s house 

with support to lift them 

out of poverty. 

Families in Ukraine 

need your help! 

The Sechka family live in a rural area 

of Sarny region, western Ukraine, in 

an old dilapidated house. Mykhailo, 

40, and his wife Nadiya, 31, work hard to 

provide for their family. They face a massive 

challenge as three of their five children have 

severe disabilities. One of their daughters 

is unable to walk at all. The health of 

their children means they need medical 

examinations, check-ups, and treatment. 

Which costs money. 

Mykhailo used to work in forestry, but 

when the war began, he lost most of his 

wages then he had to quit. Since then, he 

has focused on farming and keeps cows, 

pigs, geese, and poultry to survive. 

Son Mieko loves his parents and sees they 

are hardworking. Mykhailo must cultivate 

a lot of land to grow forage for the animals, 

and vegetables and grain for the family. He 

was using an old tractor that he bought 15 

years ago. The tractor is 50 years old and 

required constant repair. Mykhailo says that 

after each working day he had to repair it 

and it wasn’t worth the money. Since then, 

the old tractor became a place where Mieko 

and his siblings play. 

Despite Mykhailo and Nadiya’s efforts, 

the family’s situation became very difficult. 

The loss of income, health issues and the 

ongoing war has taken its toll. 

Mieko’s family need help with resources, 

such as tools and machinery, so they can 

grow food for themselves. 

Right now, the Ukrainian economy 

is shrinking, and inflation is rising. So, 

supporting families just like Mieko’s with a 

self-sufficiency project will be a lifeline. 

Mieko’s anxiety and uncertainty and have 

resulted in physical and psychological 

issues. There is no doubt that the impact 

of war will be felt by his family and many 

others for years to come. 

Support MiSSion Without BorderS 

At Mission Without Borders, we regularly reach 

out to Kiwis who respond by giving, praying, 

and offering their unwavering support. 

If you would like to help, here are 

some ways we can make a difference 

together: 

1. A gift of $30 will supply an emergency 

food and hygiene parcel to help 

displaced and vulnerable people in the 

Ukraine. 

2. Sponsor a family: we have families 

in Ukraine waiting right now for 

sponsorship. You can enable and 

encourage a whole family to lift 

themselves out of poverty and become 

self-sufficient for $45 a month. 

3. Consider donating towards a selfsufficiency 

project for a family like 

Mieko’s. This will give them the 

opportunity to not only survive but 

thrive ‒ $25 will provide a packet of 

seeds to grow life-sustaining fruits 

and vegetables.

Won’t be another like this impossible find…. 

Open plan living, kitchen all renovated and low maintenance. Nestled in a premium location on the lower slopes of 

Lyttelton, surrounded by trees and birds, this delightful family HOME is just a short stroll to the township—an 

opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. 

Built by the builder/owner in the 1960s with rimu and quality materials, this HOME has had only two owners. Now, it’s 

time for the next generation to add potential and enjoy the good life amidst the natural environment, all just a short 

drive to the city centre. 

This unique property has it all. You can check off all your requirements here with a massive 1,201m2 section, which is 

subdividable and covered in fruit trees and native plants. There’s easy drive-on access with plenty of off-street parking 

for vehicles, boats, caravans, and even a double garage—something that’s hard to come by in Lyttelton. The potential 

is endless. 

Enjoy excellent indoor-outdoor living with a large deck offering outstanding harbour and maritime views from every 

angle. There’s even a flat lawn for the young kids or pets, along with plenty of rambling garden space to keep 

everyone entertained. 

The HOME features three good-sized bedrooms, open-plan living, and a renovated, low-maintenance kitchen. With 

walking tracks, bays, and beaches at your doorstep, it doesn’t get much better than this. After 16 amazing years, our 

vendors have moved to a rural area, making this an excellent opportunity for a discerning buyer to own a slice of 

paradise. 

The property is available for immediate possession, with a GV of $900,000; please contact our agents Eddie Spry or Jo 

Grams to arrange a private viewing or come along to one of our open homes.
