Proposal 

for return 

of burial 

ground 

PEOPLE’S VIEWS are being 

sought on a proposal to return 

ownership of a Māori burial 

ground at Pūrau to a local hapū. 

The 1300sq-m section at 177 

Pūrau Ave, which is widely 

known as the “Māori reserve”, 

is currently owned by the city 

council and has special significance 

to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke. 

The reserve contains an urupā 

(Māori burial ground), and Ngāti 

Wheke would prefer to see it 

managed by court-appointed 

Rāpaki trustees who already have 

responsibility for three other 

urupā in the harbour area. 

There have been ongoing discussions 

about returning ownership 

and management of the land 

for more than a century. 

City council head of facilities 

and property Bruce Rendall said 

a significant amount of feedback 

has already gone into the council’s 

proposal. 

“This is a continuation of a 

conversation we started with the 

community back in 2009, and 

that earlier feedback has helped 

shape the important proposal 

today to return the land to Ngāti 

Wheke,” he said.

Splash of colour coming for coastguard 

• By Isabella Adams 

THIS IS WHAT the Sumner 

Coastguard Station will look 

like after artist Emily Quane 

and others in the community 

transform it. 

The computer generated design 

(right) will be brought to life over 

the next few weeks, but Quane is 

still on the lookout for people to 

be part of the painting process. 

Quane, from Redcliffs, came 

up with the idea of the mural 

while working at the community 

hub in Sumner. 

While brainstorming ideas 

for community events, she suggested 

a mural at the coastguard 

station, where she is a member 

and husband Blair Quane is 

president. 

“We were looking at doing 

some more community events 

and we put in to get some funding 

from Creative New Zealand, 

Creative Communities to do a 

mural. 

“We thought the coastguard 

station would be quite a good 

spot to start a mural and do 

something where the community 

could get involved.” 

The design for the mural was 

created after meetings with the 

station, Mt Pleasant artist Oli Aikawa 

and Quane, taking inspiration 

from all things coastguard. 

“We’ve included the three

boats that they have. So they 

have a jet ski, they have the big 

boat, which is called Blue Arrow, 

and a medium boat. 

“There’s a surfer and then also 

just a bit of the local landscape, 

to show exactly where it is.” 

Preparations for painting 

started earlier this week, with 

water blasting of the wall being 

done on Tuesday and Quane 

projecting the image and 

outlining it yesterday. 

Community groups and 

schools have been recruited to 

assist in painting, but Quane 

is in search for children and 

parents to take part in a 

community painting day on 

Sunday. 

“It’s going to be a paint by 

numbers type thing, so it’ll be 

quite easy. Even if they’ve not 

got any art experience on them, 

it doesn’t matter. They can find 

the section that they can paint 

and go from there.” 

• Anyone interested 

in taking part in the 

community painting day 

can register via the Art at

page.

Trust aiming to raise $450k 

to replant coastal property 

A GROUP of Le Bons Bay 

residents and holiday home 

owners are attempting to 

crowdfund the purchase of 

a 40ha coastal property and 

replant it with native trees. 

The plan was hatched late last 

year when the property came 

on the market, and holiday 

home owners Jane Brittenden 

and Matthew 

Macdonald saw 

an opportunity 

for the 

community to 

come together 

and protect the 

land for future 

generations. 

The property 

forms a long 

Matthew 

Macdonald 

triangle, running from the beach 

up the Le Bons Bay stream for 

1.5km, and up Dalglishs Rd to 

the summit. 

“We organised a community 

meeting late last year and over 

40 people turned up and showed 

a lot of enthusiasm for the proposal,” 

Macdonald said. 

“The owners are very positive 

about the idea and have taken 

the property off the market for 

a time to enable us to raise the 

PRESERVATION: The Le Bons Bay Conservation Trust hopes 

to buy a coastal property deemed to have ‘considerable 

conservation value’. 

money, but time is running out. 

We need to raise $450,000.” 

Following the meeting, the Le 

Bons Bay Conservation Trust 

was formed with 10 trustees. A 

website has been created (lbbct. 

org), as well as a Facebook page. 

Earlier this month they received 

notification that they were now a 

registered charitable trust. 

“Getting everything in place 

has taken a few months, but 

we are ready to start serious 

fundraising now,” Macdonald 

said. 

“In the past few weeks we have 

received around $190,000 in 

pledged donations.” 

Well-known biologist Hugh 

Wilson conducted an ecological 

assessment of the land, and 

believes it has high conservation 

value. 

“The land has considerable 

conservation value. It is a 

mosaic of bush and tree patches 

with shrub and grassland 

while along the river boundary 

there is significant saltmarsh 

turf, sedgeland and rushland,” 

Wilson said. 

“There is very little coastal 

land at sea level in the 

conservation estate on Banks 

Peninsula, so this would be a 

wonderful addition.” 

Along the edge of the river 

runs what was once the bay’s 

main road, heading out to the 

now derelict wharf. Much of the 

road is still in good condition 

and the trust sees restoring it as 

one of the group’s priorities. 

Said Macdonald: “This would 

be a great beginning for the 

trust, working alongside the 

Christchurch City Council and 

the local community to create a 

wonderful walking and cycling 

track. 

“We would love the public 

to support this project, and 

donations can be made by 

visiting our website. We also a 

have a Givealittle page. 

“Being a charitable trust 

means that donations can be 

receipted and donors are able to 

claim a rebate on the donation. 

“If we do not raise enough 

money, all donors will be 

provided with a 100 per cent 

refund,” he added. 

• If you would like to 

donate to the trust visit

Compulsory 

health checks 

for port staff 

unlawful 

THE LYTTELTON Port 

Company’s move to introduce 

compulsory health checks for 

staff has been ruled unlawful. 

The company expanded its 

health monitoring programme 

for all employees on July 1 after 

consultation with unions. 

But the Maritime Union of 

New Zealand then took the 

policy to the Employment 

Relations Authority, which 

deemed it was inconsistent 

with the collective employment 

agreement and therefore 

unlawful. 

MUNZ assistant national secretary 

Ray Fife said the outcome 

is a big win for the rights and 

well-being of port workers. 

It also ensures health monitoring 

procedures are subject to 

collective bargaining and cannot 

be forced on workers without 

their agreement. 

“This determination by the 

ERA reinforces the importance 

of collective bargaining in 

protecting workers’ rights.”

Teamwork key 


SPORT 7 

to strong result 

for young crew 

• By Sam Coughlan 

THE CHARTERIS Bay Yacht 

Club has achieved a fantastic 

result in the inaugural junior 

Toyota Kiwi Cup in Auckland 

last week. 

Charteris Bay’s team sailed to 

third overall in the tournament, 

which spanned 10 races across 

two days, behind Auckland 

clubs Royal Akarana and 

Murray’s Bay. 

Club commodore Kris Perano 

praised the crew’s efforts in a 

tough field. 

“It’s a great result. I’m sure 

they would have loved to have 

got that No 1, but I guess 

it just speaks to the level of 

competition in that fleet, 

represented across the various 

clubs, some very talented 

sailors,” he said. 

The crew of Ben Catton, 

Charlie Bridger, Chloe Clinch, 

Hayden Chisholm and Miro 

Luxford won two of the 10 races 

and finished second in two 

others, but didn’t place higher 

than fifth for the rest. 

But Perano said the team had 

little experience in the Elliott 7 

boat used in competition. 

“It’s a relatively unique boat, not 

one that our sailors routinely sail. 

So, with very little training, to be 

able to pull off that type of result 

was really pleasing,” he said. 

“It’s very different when you go 

on a boat like that where a group 

of five have got to work really 

closely together to actually get a 

result. 

“Generally they’ve all been 

sailing in single-handed boats or 

dinghies, so being together as a 

team on one boat and each doing 

different jobs on the boat, it was 

just a very different dynamic.” 

The crew boasts impressive sailing 

CVs – Luxford is the current 

national champion in the Starling 

class, Bridger has represented 

New Zealand in the Optimist, and 

Catton and Chisholm have been 

in national development teams. 

They all help out with the club’s 

junior sailors as well. 

“All of them are getting ready 

for our junior learn-to-sail 

programme, which kicks off this

Hapū could protect sacred site Designer 

• From page 1 

“By returning it, the hapū 

could use and protect the land in 

a way that respects its significant 

cultural history and value, 

ensuring guardianship of it for 

future generations.” 

The reserve is a burial site 

for Chief Tiemi Nohomutu, a 

Pūrau resident and leading Ngāi 

Tahu tribal chief during the first 

decades of European settlement 

in the harbour area. 

Said Rendall: “It would also 

allow Ngāti Wheke to apply for 

Māori Reservation status, which 

is something the land has held 

in name but not in actual law. 

The land would then exist in 

a similar way to a cemetery – 

still publicly 

accessible, but 

tapu.” 

He said the 

nearby Pūrau 

foreshore and 

recreation 

ground would 

not be affected 

by the city 

council’s 

Bruce 

Rendall 

proposal to return 177 Pūrau 

Ave. 

The land currently has 

reserve status, so returning it 

to the hapū would first involve 

applying to the Department 

of Conservation to revoke this 

status under the Reserves Act 

1977. 

Its ownership could then be 

transferred from the city council 

to Ngāti Wheke. 

SIGNIFICANT: The reserve is 

a burial site for Chief Tiemi 

Nohomutu, a Pūrau resident 

and leading Ngāi Tahu 

rangatira (tribal chief) during 

the first decades of European 

settlement in Whakaraupō 

Lyttelton Harbour. 

PHOTOS: NEWSLINE 

As part of the transfer 

conditions, Ngāti Wheke would 

need to apply to the Māori Land 

Court to have the land set aside 

as a Māori Reservation urupā 

under Te Ture Whenua Māori 

Act 1993. 

• The city council is 

holding a public drop-in 

session about the proposal 

at the Pūrau recreation 

ground’s playground, 187

• From page 1 

Inspired by her love of creating 

unique outfits for herself from 

recycled curtain fabric, Wright 

set about crafting the piece that 

was not only eye-catching but 

completely sustainable. 

The garment is made using 

recycled curtains, hooks and tape 

sourced from the Sustainability 

Trust in Wellington. 

Wright, who is studying design 

at Toi Whakaari in 

Wellington, spent 

six months using 

every spare minute 

working on the 

unique garment. 

“I was working 

in Paper Plus in 

Ferrymead during 

the day and then 

Heather 

Wright 

of an evening, I’d hunker down 

and do some sewing. Slowly the 

layers started to build up and it 

began to take shape.” 

As well as earning her a spot 

in the final, Wright’s design was 

selected to be used on WOW 

merchandise – an incredible 

achievement for a first-time 

entrant. 

With one competition under her 

belt, Wright has already turned her 

thoughts to her next creation. 

“I’ve started my garment for 

next year, I’m just really excited 

to get to work over summer – 

and do lots of sewing.” 

Library seeking your precious heritage photos 

IF YOU HAVE interesting old 

photos tucked away in your 

cupboard, saved on a digital 

camera SD card or stashed on 

your phone – now is the time to 

dig them out. 

The annual Christchurch 

City Libraries’ Photo Hunt is 

under way and will run until 

October 31. The event aims to 

digitally gather photos from 

across the community alongside 

the Christchurch Heritage Festival 

which opens on Saturday. 

This year’s theme is Active 

Heritage – Sport, Recreation and 

Leisure. 

Said city council head of libraries 

and information Carolyn 

Robertson: “The photo hunt gives 

people the chance to share some 

of their precious memories and 

highlight key moments in our 

city’s history, each photo comes 

with its own unique story. 

“We’ve held the event every 

year since 2008 and it’s a wonderful 

way to help with our goal of 

creating a photographic archive 

of the life and times of Ōtautahi-Christchurch 

and Te Pātaka o 

Rākaihautū-Banks Peninsula.” 

The 2023 overall winner New 

Beginnings in NZ featured a sundrenched 

Dutch migrant leaning 

against a doorframe in 1950s 

Christchurch. 

Said the judges: “This well 

composed photograph gives us 

an insight into the life of a Dutch 

migrant who has arrived in 

1950s Christchurch. After having 

lived through the horrors of the 

Second World War, she looks relaxed 

and happy while standing 

casually in the doorframe holding 

a cigarette in her hand. 

Submitted photos will be 

highlighted on the Discovery 

Wall at Tūranga and on 

Canterbury Stories. Drop-in 

photo digitisation events will 

be held at Tūranga, Matatiki 

Hornby Centre, New Brighton 

Library and Ōrauwhata 

Bishopdale Library as part of the 

competition.

13 YORK STREET OPAWA 

This lovely character home was only on the market for 21 

days and was sold after competitive bidding at auction. My 

owners did an amazing job readying the property for sale 

and presenting it perfectly to visitors. 

I had over 120 visitor groups through the door with 15 

repeat viewings! I have a long list of disappointed buyers 

who are very keen to purchase before Christmas. 

High demand for quality properties in Opawa continues but 

there is a lack of stock in the area making now the right time 

to sell.

We need your help to fill our beds. 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has 

23 beds for tamariki to stay during 

times of whānau stress or crisis. On 

average just 17 of these beds are filled 

due to resourcing constraints. 

Every empty bed is a missed 

opportunity to support a child in need. 

Donate today to give Canterbury 

tamariki a safe place to sleep. 

www.cholmondeley.org.nz 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides 

short term emergency or planned respite care 

for tamariki when they need extra support due 

to complications at home. 

Cholmondeley is an independent charity 

and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to 

run. 20% of this figure is met by Government 

funding, and the remaining 80% comes from 

the generous support of the Canterbury 

community. 


Bloody Minded 

War, womanhood and finding my voice 

by Susie Ferguson 

A powerful memoir on womanhood by RNZ presenter Susie Ferguson 

Early in her radio career Susie Ferguson became a war 

correspondent. The only woman among hundreds of soldiers, in 

a helmet and flak jacket she was one of the boys. None of them 

knew she was taking fifteen painkillers a day and relying on 

opioids to stem the burning and stabbing pain in her uterus. 

Even bloody-minded grit couldn’t have prepared Susie for 

womanhood. More than your body’s betrayal, it’s the vicious 

bullying only girls can do. It’s waiting years for surgery because your 

pain doesn’t matter. It’s the threat of violence in countries where a woman is 

either property or the spoils of war. It’s going overnight from a high-powered 

career to a stay-at-home mum. It’s the doctor who says you’re wasting his 

time. But it is also friendship, love and having the strength to carry on - and to 

do it smiling. 

‘A story of grit and determination from a woman who writes the way she lives - 

fiercely, with passion and in full colour’ Michele A’Court 

‘If you’ve ever wanted to eyeball a doctor and demand the treatment you need 

and deserve, this is the book for you’ Lotta Dann, bestselling author of Mrs D Is 

Going Without and The Wine O’Clock Myth 

The Lighthouse Secret 

by Carmel Harrington 

Family secrets never stay buried… 

1951, Ireland 

On the windswept Cork coast, the lighthouse-keepers’ wives wait, watching 

the sea. Their husbands are coming home. But one secret can never be 

revealed. 

2023, Maine 

Decades later, Mollie Kenefick receives an anonymous note: Family secrets 

never stay buried. The only person she can ask is her grandmother – however, 

Beth made a vow that she swore never to break. 

But someone knows what happened that summer in 1951, and it seems 

they’re not happy keeping silent …

New direction for Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

AFTER completing a strategic 

review, the Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation has a new focus. 

“We have made the decision 

to offer a range of scholarships 

and awards for both community 

groups and individuals on 

an annual basis, rather than 

responding to requests for 

financial assistance on an ad 

hoc basis” said foundation chair 

Martin Hawes. 

“When the foundation 

started over 30 years ago, we 

only responded to requests 

for financial assistance. But, 

in a changing world and in a 

changing community we have 

needed to change too.” 

The first step was to introduce 

the Primary Schools’ Puawai 

Award and the Scholarships & 

Awards Programme five years 

ago. 

Then last year, the foundation 

introduced the Community 

Awards Programme, which 

generated a lot of interest. 

Following a review of the 

foundation’s income and 

disbursements, it became 

apparent that finding sponsors 

for individual scholarships and 

awards was a more effective 

way to obtain funds to help the 

local community as opposed to 

looking for untied grants. 

In a time when it’s hard to 

get funding and it’s equally as 

hard to find new trustees who

have the energy and time to ‘roll 

up their sleeves’, it made sense 

to find the most cost-effective 

and time-effective way for the 

foundation to operate. 

With increasing awareness 

of the Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation due to the proactive 

programmes, the number of 

requests for financial assistance 

grew, which presented a 

problem – how best to decide 

who was most worthy of 

receiving the funds. 

“In many ways it’s a nice 

problem to have,” said foundation 

treasurer Max Mathias. 

“However, because of the 

socio-economic demographics 

of the foundation’s catchment 

area, we knew many of the 

applicants would still be able 

to pursue their dreams without 

our support. 

“So, to have an annual 

proactive programme that 

supports individuals in both 

their academic and sporting 

endeavours, and community 

groups across a wide range of

Come January 2025, 

applications for the foundation’s 

individual and community 

scholarships and awards will be 

sought. 

Last year, the Sumner 

Ferrymead Foundation funded 

the inaugural Community 

Awards Programme, but for the 

next round they are looking for 

sponsors who would like to help 

their local community. 

In particular, sponsors are

Open Homes: Sat & Sun 3pm-3:30pm 

Perfectly placed for families in the heart of 

Sumner Village, this 1920s bungalow is a 

testament to charm and comfort, where the 

authenticity of its era is met with modern ease. 

Holding true to its character, this home remains 

a showcase of originality, from its weatherboard 

cladding and polished timber floors to 

its leadlight windows and high ceilings. A 

thoughtful renovation in 2005 introduced 

contemporary comforts into its timeless 

framework, with updates including a refreshed 

and open plan living/kitchen area and 

upgraded bathroom, partial double glazing, 

and comprehensive insulation, all while preserving 

its aesthetic integrity. 

The spacious living area incorporates the 

sunroom, creating an expansive space where 

family life naturally unfolds. At the heart of 

this domain, the well-appointed kitchen- with 

its granite benchtop, generous island, and 

900mm electric oven with gas hob—is perfectly 

equipped for everything from casual meals to 

family celebrations. 

A timber-panelled hallway leads to three 

bedrooms, including the master with double 

wardrobes and French doors to the deck, while 

the family bathroom, a laundry and a sweep of 

heating solutions, including a gas fire, heat 

pump and panel heaters, complete the layout. 

The living room opens through bi-fold doors 

to deck, patio, and garden, providing a relaxed 

setting that soaks in the sunshine and enjoys 

hillside views. 

Offering creative potential, the garage has been 

reimagined as a studio but can be reverted 

with ease, complemented by secure off-street 

parking and a practical carport. 

Just steps from Sumner Primary School and its 

pool, with the beach and local shops nearby, 

this home offers a unique and instantly

Futuristic Staria a smooth operator 

FOR DECADES, New Zealand’s 

commercial van landscape has 

been ruled by the Toyota Hiace, 

with acres of sales daylight 

between it and some very 

capable rivals, including the 

Hyundai Staria Load. 

While this model and a 

chasing pack of European and 

fast-improving Chinese offerings 

are working to hard to chip away 

at the Hiace’s market share, its 

mantle of king of our new van 

kingdom looks rock solid. 

Hyundai’s Load is a relatively 

fresh face on the van block and 

packed with advanced safety and 

connectivity technology plus 

edgy futuristic styling. 

Those with a sense of adventure 

and seeking a van that gets 

their business noticed on the 

road will love the Staria Load. In 

some ways, it’s a van ahead of its 

time with its looks, technology 

and safety features. However, I 

get a sense that these attributes 

are unlikely to fire the imaginations 

of conservative van buyers 

who prefer the tried and true, 

and the Toyota Hiace encapsulates 

all that and more. 

Buying a van for the most 

part is a business decision and 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

trust plays a huge part in the 

purchasing process. This plays 

right into the hands of the Hiace 

with a trust rating that’s off the 

scale. 

It’s disappointing that three 

years into its model life the 

Staria Load doesn’t have some 

electrified power train options, 

given Hyundai is a big player in 

the electrified vehicle market in 

New Zealand. 

The pressure is on them and 

others in this segment to make 

the switch, especially given the 

rapid advances Chinese vanmaker 

LDV is making in this 

area, with a line up of affordable 

full EV models. 

Despite the lack of electric 

options, Hyundai has done a 

fine job with the Staria Load, 

a worthy replacement for its 

popular predecessor the iLoad. 

A four strong model range 

starts with a two seater $59,990 

six-speed manual, and is 

followed by three eight-speed 

auto versions. The two-seater 

auto is priced at $62,990. A rear 

barn door variant nudges the 

asking price up another $1k, and 

that amount again if you fancy 

the versatile five-seat option. 

The Hiace by comparison 

is more affordable across the 

board, and in these challenging 

economic times for businesses, 

that doesn’t help the Staria’s 

cause. 

However, the Hiace has 

become a victim of its own 

success with high global demand 

stretching wait times, that, 

depending on the model, could 

be the end of this year and into 

2025. This will sorely the test the 

patience of the staunchest Hiace 

devotees, leaving the sales door 

slightly ajar for alternatives such 

as the Staria. 

For this road test we are 

putting the $62,990 two-seater 

Staria Load automatic through 

its paces. 

Under the bonnet is a proven 

130kW 2.2-litre turbo diesel 

producing 440Nm of torque, 

outputs that closely mirror the 

larger 2.8-litre diesel powering 

the Hiace. 

The Hyundai diesel is lively 

and well primed to deliver on 

its brief as a modern, safe and 

refined van. 

The test vehicle started off on 

the right foot, impressing with 

the smoothness of the motor, 

helped by a modern eight-speed 

automatic. 

Even a decent amount of 

cargo onboard doesn’t blunt the 

engine’s high energy levels and 

work rate. 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 6; Styling 6; 

Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for money: 

5; Safety – Five star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 6.5 

This is among the most 

relaxing and capable vans I have 

driven, although to be fair, I 

haven’t recently driven any of 

the latest European van brigade 

led by the likes of the Ford 

Transit Custom and Volkswagen 

Transporter. 

The Staria Load’s eight-speed 

automatic is borrowed from the 

soon to be replaced Hyundai 

Santa Fe SUV. It feels right at 

home in the Staria, so much so, 

you would think it was born 

to live life in a commercial 

vehicle. What owners get is a 

transmission that revels in the 

rigors of the day-to-day grind of 

every day van life. 

A spacious, light, airy, and 

modern cabin provides an 

excellent workspace most drivers 

will enjoy. Lowered beltlines and 

expansive side windows offer 

excellent visibility and create a 

feeling of openness. 

The load area, while not as 

generous as some, most notably 

the Hiace, is still competitive 

with 4935 litres of cargo 

capacity. 

Most importantly, it’s big 

enough to fit a full-size pallet. 

This earns the Staria its stripes 

as a bona fide van, and is helped 

along the way with features such 

as dual sliding side doors. 

The rear of the vehicle is 

distinguished by window framed 

vertical tail lamps, and taking 

the huff and puff out of loading 

and unloading is a nifty lowered 

bumper. 

Driver information is delivered 

via a front display screen, and 

touch-based centre fascia, and 

there is a well-sorted suite of 

safety technology including 

forward collision avoidance 

assist. 

Lifting the Staria to the 

top of its ride comfort game, 

is a modern multi-link rear 

suspension, while rejigged brake 

calipers and discs provide strong 

reassuring stopping power. 

For a tall-ish van, this one 

is composed, balanced, and 

surprisingly agile when driven 

briskly over undulating terrain, 

and shows an unexpected 

playful side. This isn’t normally 

programmed into the DNA of 

vans so it’s a great but rare find. 

After being sold on the strong 

showing of the suspension, the 

steering was less endearing and 

let down by a lack of road feel, 

and not engaging with the driver 

as fully as it could or should be. 

The modern suspension effortlessly 

deflects the full spectrum 

of bump and ruts found on our 

roads, a quality that will endear 

it those whose work place is 

behind the wheel of a Staria. 

Factor in the comfy and 

supportive seats and some 

drivers may find it a hard place 

to leave at the end of the day.
