Artist pays homage to 

priceless native birds 

• By Kees Chalmers 

CELEBRATED OIL painter 

and conservationist Anna 

Gibbs is using her work to 

advocate for the protection of 

native birds. 

Her debut solo exhibition, 

South Island Songs, is a 

collection of oil paintings 

where Gibbs blends techniques 

of glazing with fair-mined 

24-carat gold leaf to depict 

New Zealand’s native bird life, 

a technique derived from the 

Dutch masters. 

“When we see things like 

gold, colours and jewels we 

think of treasure and precious 

and scarce things. For me, 

birds are that so I’m trying to 

convey that association,” she 

said. 

Gibbs also aims to raise the 

profile of the conservation 

work that is being done 

to preserve native bird 

populations. 

South Island Songs has been 

more than two years in the 

making and was unveiled 

to the public at Little River 

Gallery on Friday.

Bikes on 

buses ban 

exemption 

lodged 

by ECan 

• By Dylan Smits 

AN EXEMPTION to the bike 

racks on buses ban has been 

lodged. 

Environment Canterbury has 

requested the racks be allowed 

nationwide during daylight hours 

while a permanent solution is 

found to stop bus headlights being 

obscured. 

The decision, expected this 

month, now sits with the New 

Zealand Transport Agency Waka 

Kotahi. 

ECan’s requested exemption 

would allow bikes on racks 30min 

before sunrise until 30min after 

sunset. 

“We believe any safety issues 

regarding bike racks would only 

occur at night and therefore 

would like to reinstate the use 

of racks during daytime for our 

customers,” said ECan public 

transport operations manager 

Derek Walsh. 

The controversial ban went 

into force in November after bus 

operators said bus racks were not 

compliant with NZTA headlight 

safety regulations – even during 

daytime. • Turn to page 5

No support for milestone 

Canty anniversary event 

• By Dylan Smits 

THE CITY council and iwi 

will not support a large-scale 

celebration of Canterbury’s 175th 

anniversary later this year. 

In 2000, Christchurch hosted 

a party and parade to mark the 

150th anniversary of the first 

four European ships arriving in 

Lyttelton between December 16 

to 27, 1850. 

Twenty-five years later, a 

proposal to hold a similar 

event by a planning committee 

has failed to gain traction due 

to the colonial history of the 

anniversary. 

A meeting between the 

committee, made up of 

Canterbury history enthusiasts, 

and council staff in September 

led nowhere. 

Said a city council 

spokesperson: “We have 

shifted towards more inclusive 

and balanced historical 

narratives since the 150 th 

anniversary in 2000, which has 

greater recognition of Māori 

perspectives and the historical 

harm of colonisation.” 

The city council would 

not support any anniversary 

celebrations without support 

from Ngāi Tahu rūnanga, said 

the spokesperson. 

However, all six rūnanga near 

Christchurch told city council 

staff they were not interested in 

taking part in an anniversary 

celebration, the spokesperson 

said. 

Ngāi Tahu did not respond to 

Bay Harbour News when asked 

why it would not partake. 

After the September meeting, 

Bay Harbour News understands 

the planning committee was 

dissolved. 

This has left plans for any noncouncil 

funded 

anniversary 

events up in the 

air. 

City councillor 

Aaron Keown 

supported the 

committee’s 

efforts to organise 

an anniversary 

event but said 

Aaron 

Keown 

city council staff seemed to “lack 

passion” for the proposal. 

“It’s probably a difficult time 

for the staff to commit to events 

like this with the stadium and 

sports centre coming along. 

We’re sort of looking forward as 

a city at the moment instead of 

backwards,” Keown said. 

He said the colonial history of 

the anniversary made it difficult 

for the city council to support. 

“Spending any council money 

or resource on anything that can 

come across as controversial is 

just damn near impossible,” said 

Keown. “I’m not a politically 

correct person who says we 

must respect the treaty in all 

things, but I do think it would 

be disrespectful to just go ahead 

and do events without their 

(Ngāi Tahu) support.”

ARIO SCOOTERS hit the streets 

of Sumner recently, replacing the 

Neuron e-scooter brand. 

Neuron failed to get its license 

renewed in the city council’s 

tender process to choose two citywide 

operators. 

Priority was given to 

companies able to increase 

rider numbers and meet tougher 

new standards of safety and 

security, using monitoring and 

technology. 

The city’s first ride-share 

scooter operator, Lime, 

successfully had their contract 

renewed from January 31. 

With two wheels at the front 

and one at the rear, Ario claims its

operations across Christchurch.

Artist turns advocate to 

protect unique birds 

• From page 1 

Gibbs said the reception so far 

has blown her away. 

“Having put so much time 

aside towards a project, it’s really 

gratifying that I’ve had such a 

great response.” 

Gibbs said she was expecting 

one or two paintings to sell on 

the first day - but after an hour, 

half had already been sold. 

“It was just insane and completely 

overwhelming.” 

Gibbs, 34, is originally a high 

school teacher from London. 

Even from the other side of the 

world, she became fascinated by 

New Zealand’s native birds from 

the pictures and videos sent by 

her parents, Jack and Charlotte, 

who had moved to Banks Peninsula 

from the UK. 

Gibbs relocated to Le Bons Bay 

with her husband, Stuart Foster, 

four and a half years ago and 

turned her artistic ambitions into 

a reality by pursuing painting 

full-time. 

Since then, she’s dedicated her 

life to her art and through it, 

the conservation of native birds. 

Living on the peninsula, the 

firsthand exposure to the sounds 

and beauty of birds only grew her 

passion. 

“I think I was so interested in 

this idea that there’s this completely 

unique ecosystem that 

evolved in New Zealand because 

there weren’t mammals, there’s 

just nowhere else like that,” said 

Gibbs. 

“If we don’t protect it, it will 

just be lost permanently, totally 

irrecoverable.” 

Gibbs previously painted 

kākāpō to raise awareness for the 

Kākāpō Recovery fund. She won 

the premium artist award 2023 

at Auckland’s Art in the Park 

exhibition for her piece, Kākāpō 

in the Forest. 

South Island Songs includes 

kea and kōtuku paintings, and 

information about the kea conservation 

trust and the kōtuku 

nesting site in Whataroa. 

Over the course of the last 

three and a half years, Gibbs has 

developed a considerable online 

presence, with over 100k followers 

on Instagram. She posts 

reels of her artistic processes and 

uses it as a platform to champion 

native birdlife. 

She said seeing so many people 

connect with her work has been 

“incredible.” 

“It gave me the confidence that 

I needed to know this was the 

right thing to do.” 

South Island Songs will be on 

until February 24.

Exemption sought 

during daytime 

• From page 1 

At the time, a starnews.co.nz 

poll showed 87 per cent against 

the ban while only 13 per cent 

agreed, out of 684 respondents. 

The NZTA initially disputed 

the Bus and Coach Association’s 

claim the ban would need to 

apply during daytime. 

The association, which 

represents all bus operators 

including Metro, initiated the 

24/7 ban as it believes safety 

regulations do not specify 

whether headlights can be 

obscured in daylight. 

If the exemption is not approved, 

Walsh said cyclists may 

have to wait until September 

for bikes to be allowed on racks 

while operators assess bus fleets 

for compliance, develop solutions, 

and get final sign off from 

NZTA. 

A national working group to 

lift the ban has been formed, 

which released a guide for 

operators to test bus fleet 

headlights and racks for 

compliance. 

Metro buses is currently using 

the guidance to test its fleet and 

find potential solutions. 

Buses with racks found to 

obscure headlights would need 

to adjust the placement of the 

bike rack, move the headlights, 

or install auxiliary headlights. 

Once bus operators either 

receive the daytime exemption 

or final sign off from NZTA, the 

safety regulations will still need 

to be amended to remove the 

need for exemptions.

The Blanket Cats 

by Kiyoshi Shigematsu 

Pity Party 

by Daisy Buchanan 

Is three days with a cat enough to change 

your life? The troubled and anxious of Tokyo 

are desperate to find out. They all have their 

problems - and they all want to believe that a 

feline companion from a unique pet shop can 

help them find a solution. But there are rules: 

they must be returned after three days, and 

they must always sleep in their own familiar 

blankets. In The Blanket Cats, we meet seven 

such customers, including a couple struggling 

with infertility, a middle-aged woman on the 

run from the police, and two families in very 

different circumstances simply seeking joy. But 

like all their kind, the blanket cats are mysterious 

creatures with their own unknowable agendas, 

who delight in confounding expectations. And 

perhaps what their hosts are looking for isn’t 

what they really need. Three days may not be 

enough to change your life. But it might be 

enough to change how you see it. 

The hilarious and heartfelt novel you have to read 

this summer... Katherine lives by the rules, ticks all 

the boxes and prepares for the worst, even while 

she hopes for the best. Then the worst actually 

happens and, as she tries to navigate life as a 

young widow, it turns out she was not prepared at 

all. Nothing scares Katherine more than stopping, 

but everyone insists she needs to take some time 

for herself. Head to a wellness retreat, they said. 

Enjoy some me-time, they said... Except this 

retreat isn’t the pity party she was hoping for. 

Instead of massages, she has erotic meditation, 

and instead of spa treatments she has scream 

therapy. Katherine has never lost control in her 

life. In fact, she’s fairly certain that if she starts 

screaming she might never stop. But she’s about 

to let go, and everyone had better stand back... 

Hilarious, heartbreaking and honest, this is a story 

about learning how to stop playing it safe in a 

world that feels so dangerous - and showing up to 

the party, even when it feels impossible. 

The Favourites 

by Layne Fargo 

An epic love story that reimagines the 

tempestuous romance of Wuthering Heights in 

the sparkling, savage world of elite figure skating 

Everyone thinks Heath Rocha was my first love. 

He wasn’t. My first love was figure skating. She 

might not have a famous name, funding, or her 

family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always 

known that she was destined to become an 

Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, 

a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their 

instant connection makes them a formidable duo 

on the ice. Clinging to skating - and each other 

- to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath 

go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice 

dancers. Until a shocking incident at the Olympic 

Games brings their partnership to a sudden end. 

Alternating Kat’s own account of her dramatic 

rise and devastating fall with scandalous 

snippets from the tell-all film, and capturing the 

can’t-look-away intensity of Emily Bronte’s classic 

novel, The Favourites is an exhilarating dance 

between passion, ambition, and what it truly 

means to win. 

Secrets of the Villa Amore 

by Carol Kirkwood 

The new sun-drenched summer read from the

so do the secrets… 

The childhood sweethearts Carina is marrying

thinks he is. The dazzling bridesmaid Hollywood 

starlet Edie is hiding a secret that could destroy 

her best friend. 

The unexpected guest Mother-of-the-bride 

Philippa is stunned by the arrival of a lover from 

her past. Are scandal and betrayal about to 

destroy their happy ever after?

New tow tractor plays 


NEWS 7 

Symbolic mural unveiled 

vital role for coastguard 


COASTGUARD Canterbury has 

welcomed the newest member of 

its fleet, a Kubota tractor which 

will be used to launch and recover 

search-and-rescue vessels. 

Given the call sign BOT, 

the ‘Big Orange Tractor’ was 

purchased with funds from Pub 

Charity Ltd. 

Coastguard Canterbury board 

member Carolyn Tapley said 

BOT will play a 

vital role in their 

search and rescue 

operations. 

While the new 

tractor was a 

dream to drive, 

she said it was sad 

to say goodbye to 

their former workhorse, 

BBT (Big 

Carolyn 

Tapley 

Blue Tractor) which had “done us 

proud for over a decade”. 

Tapley said the Ford 7840 

tractor was now up for sale, and 

anyone interested was welcome to 

contact to contact the organisation. 

Meanwhile, construction of 

Coastguard Canterbury’s new 

$2.6m Search & Rescue Centre at 

Lyttelton’s Naval Point is nearing

completion, with an official 

opening ceremony set down for 

March 15. 

The purpose-built two-storey 

building on city council land will 

be the cornerstone project for the 

Naval Point Redevelopment Plan. 

When completed, the new 885sq 

m Search & Rescue Centre building 

will offer training, meeting 

and radio rooms with a harbour 

lookout, along with secure storage 

for the rescue boats and the towing 

tractor. 

Coastguard Canterbury currently 

has around 25 volunteers 

and three rescue vessels, based at 

Lyttelton, Sumner and Kaiapoi. 

Tapley said demand for their 

services was growing. She said they 

were still fundraising to fit-out 

the new building, but when that’s 

done, they will turn to fundraising 

for a new rescue vessel. 

Residents gathered at Mānawa Kāwhiu Lyttelton 

Recreation Centre last week for a blessing ceremony to 

unveil a new mural by McChesney Adams. The event, 

led by Reverend Maui Stuart of Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, 

celebrated the completion of the vibrant artwork, which 

symbolises the deep connection to the harbour and 

the unique spirit of the Lyttelton community. The mural 

project was made possible through the support of Pub 

Charity Ltd, the city council’s discretionary response fund; 

Resene for providing the paint; and Mitre 10 Ferrymead 

for supplying the equipment. Mānawa Kāwhiu and 

the Lyttelton Recreation Centre Trust expressed their 

immense satisfaction with the final design, which they 

hope will resonate with the wider Lyttelton community.

Lyttelton band 

to play at new 

country festival 


A BAND OF Lyttelton music 

legends and other well-known 

musicians are set to play at a new 

festival called ‘Country in the 

Country’. 

Lyttelton-based band, The Eastern, 

will perform at the festival in 

Leeston on March 30. They have 

opened for Jimmy Barnes and 

Fleetwood Mac, while taking their 

folk-country blend everywhere 

from Nashville to Timaru. 

Christchurch-based alt-country 

singer Katie Thompson, who will 

also be on stage for the festival, 

opened for Elton John in Dunedin 

in 2011. 

Also performing will be 17-yearold 

Southlander Carly Drysdale, a 

finalist for the New Zealand country 

music awards songwriter of 

the year for her song Revenge, plus 

Dunedin-based The Sisterhood. 

The festival is the brainchild of 

Selwyn Sounds co-promoter Craig 

Bradford and Hang Up Entertainment 

Services director Andre 

Goldsmith who noticed a gap in 

the festival market for country 

music, in the midst of the genre’s 

massive commercial resurgence.

journey. After starting Nine Healing 

Arts, she faced the reality of restarting 

from scratch. 

“I create events to help recalibrate 

your nervous system,” she explains. 

Offering everything from Thai Yoga 

Massage to Sound Healing and ‘Gong 

Baths’, it’s a business deeply rooted in 

holistic wellness. However, getting back 

on the ground in her hometown of 

Christchurch after being away for 15 

years posed unique challenges. 

Kerr’s entrepreneurial journey began 

in Berlin with a nomadic yoga studio. 

After returning to Christchurch and 

taking time off to care for her son, she 

needed support to get back on track. 

She found the guidance she needed at 

Business Mentors New Zealand. 

“Working with a mentor has been a 

game changer,” she says. “My mentor, 

Katherinne Jaimes, has been flexible 

and supportive, helping me focus on 

the basics of running a business and 

marketing it effectively.” 

One of the most valuable outcomes of 

their work together was clarifying her 

direction. “Katherinne helped me map 

out my services, finances, and ‘why.’ I’m 

creative by nature, so numbers weren’t 

my strength, but now I have a clearer 

picture of where I need to invest 

my time.” 

As a result, Kerr has streamlined her 

business model, focusing on structured 

workshops, which now generate 

more income. 

Kerr also recognised that marketing 

was a key area for improvement. Her 

mentor suggested hiring help, leading 

Kerr to bring in a specialist to work on 

her website and SEO. “Now, when you 

Google ‘sound healing in Christchurch,’ 

I’m one of the first results.” With 

Katherinne’s guidance, Kerr has 

strengthened her social media presence 

and built a more consistent brand. “I’m 

getting great reviews and new clients.” 

Accountability has been key. “As a 

freelancer, you’re often alone. Having 

someone to bounce ideas off has been 

invaluable. Katherinne helps me stay on 

track, even when I’m feeling uninspired.” 

Kerr highly recommends mentorship 

through Business Mentors New 

Zealand. “It’s a very affordable 

investment, and the right mentor offers 

invaluable support.” 

See businessmentors.org.nz if you 

are interested in finding or becoming 

a mentor.

Hercules make final flyover 


BANKS PENINSULA residents 

got a chance to see New 

Zealand’s celebrated air force 

workhorses for the final time on 

Tuesday. 

Three No 40 Squadron RN- 

ZAF C-130H Hercules flew over 

the peninsula and city about 

noon in a final salute to the nation, 

ending their 60-year career 

with the RNZAF. 

The Hercules retirement flight 

took off from Whenuapai in 

Auckland on Monday, flying 

along the west coast before stopping 

overnight in Invercargill. 

The final flight back along the 

east coast took in Dunedin and 

Christchurch, before landing for 

the final time at RNZAF Base 

Woodbourne to join two other 

aircraft already there. 

Four of the aircraft will retire 

to the base, while New Zealand’s 

first Hercules to go into operation, 

NZ7001, will be parked 

up inside the new $20 million 

exhibition hangar to be built at 

Wigram’s Air Force Museum. 

The now retired fleet has been 

replaced by five C-130J Hercules, 

boasting greater range, speed 

and capacity. The first of the new 

aircraft started operations last 

year, with the RNZAF taking 

delivery of the final aircraft in 

December. 

FAREWELL: Three RNZAF C-130H Hercules flew over Banks Peninsula on Tuesday on their

The Jam Maker 

by Mary-Lou Stephens 

2025’s best new Tasmanian historical fiction based on a true 

story, perfect for readers of Fiona McIntosh and Victoria 

Purman. Jam is sweet but it can also burn. 

Tasmania, 1874. Growing up in the impoverished tenements 

along the Hobart Rivulet, Harriet Brown is used to doing 

whatever it takes to survive. Including, at just twelve years old, 

shearing off her hair and pretending to be a boy to secure a job as 

label-paster at the George Peacock and Sons jam factory. Four years later, the 

deceit becomes too much to bear and Harriet risks everything on the chance at 

a future with her ambitious friend and workmate Henry Jones. But this decision 

forces her into a new deception: play the role of expert jam maker, or else be 

cast out onto the streets. As the secrets and lies grow, Harriet is driven to more 

and more desperate choices. Choices that will end with a dangerous secret 

which, if discovered, could destroy not only her life but the lives of those she 

loves and protects. Intertwined with the fascinating history of the Tasmanian 

jam industry and the striking historical figure Henry Jones, The Jam Maker is 

a tale of danger, deceit and the desperate measures one woman will take to 

succeed in love and life.

WAKA: Nga Hau E Wha national marae paddlers steer Kahukākā up the lagoon for Waitangi 

Day at Okains Bay in 1987. Right – Waitangi Day protests at the bay the following year. 

The biggest day of the 

year for Kawatea/Okains 

Bay is Waitangi Day – the 

commemorations are the 

longest-running in the South 

Island. 

Each year, the event is 

co-hosted by Okains Bay 

Museum and Te Rūnanga o 

Koukourarata. 

The museum opened on 

Waitangi Day in 1977. Its 

extensive collection of taonga 

(treasures), acquired by Murray 

Thacker and his family and 

donated to the public, is of 

national significance. 

Thousands of visitors explore 

the museum each Waitangi 

Day, and take part in the family 

fun day on the grounds, the 

Ngāi Tahu reserve opposite and 

the wider heritage precinct. 

The day has also been one 

of protest, particularly before 

Ngāi Tahu’s treaty claim was 

settled with the Crown in 1998. 

There were protests in 

1988, when Governor General 

Sir Paul Reeves attended. 

1980s – WAITANGI DAY 

“A small skirmish broke 

out when a protester 

attempted to speak against 

the commemoration. Within 

minutes the chairman of the 

Ngāi Tahu Trust Board, Tipene 

O’Regan, had risen to the 

occasion, and the protester’s 

words were washed away with 

a Māori hymn,” The Press 

reported. 

Other protesters from the 

groups Action for an Independent 

Aotearoa, Te Whanau 

Amatariki, and Tematapuna 

reportedly marched and sang 

during the commemorations. 

Deputy Prime Minister 

Geoffrey Palmer and O’Regan 

made speeches about legislation 

and land claims, while 

the Governor General said 

honouring the treaty was at the 

heart of the present struggle in 

New Zealand. 

Today, a family fun day will 

again be held at Okains Bay for 

Waitangi Day, with free entry 

to the museum, live music, and 

food and drinks on site.

SPORT 


Culture, cricket combine for Sukhon 


THE MĀORI National 

Tournament has been about 

more than just cricket for 

Heathcote player Jamal Sukhon. 

The 24-year-old off-spinning 

all-rounder has been playing for 

Te Waipounamu Tane (South 

Island men’s) this week in the 

tournament at Lloyd Elsmore 

Park in Auckland, representing 

Ngāi Tahu. 

“It’s an honour to be picked in 

the South Island side, especially 

after being picked the first time. 

I’m just happy to be back.” 

Heathcote teammate, Harry 

Sinclair, is also playing in 

the tournament for Tāmaki 

Makaurau. 

The four-day tournament, 

which finishes tomorrow, 

sees the country’s top Māori 

cricketers pitted against each 

other as they represent their 

province and iwi. 

Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), 

Northern Districts Māori, 

Central Districts Māori, Te 

Whanganui-a-tara (Wellington), 

and Te Waipounamu (South 

Island) are the provinces 

competing. 

Sukhon’s Māori heritage comes 

from his mother’s side but he 

didn’t have any connection to his 

iwi or whakapapa growing up. 

The first tournament took 

SHOT: Jamal Sukhon beats the fielder with a cover drive playing for the Heathcote first XI. 

place in 2023, an experience 

that Sukhon found to be “eye 

opening”. 

“It’s a real treat to see that 

side of the culture and there’s so 

much to learn,” said Sukhon. 

Players and coaches stay at a 

marae and participate in a range 

of cultural practices, traditional 

games and performed a haka 

at the tournament’s opening 

ceremony. 

Sukhon said the experience 

has brought him closer to his 

culture and prompted him 

to discover more about his 

whakapapa. 

“It’s helped me get into 

contact with my iwi and work 

with them to find the history 

of my culture.” He reaffirmed 

the tournament’s place in the 

cricketing calendar, highlighting 

its significance to the sport’s 

growth in Māori communities. 

“I think it’s important that 

they try to keep this tournament 

going, because it (cricket) can 

predominantly be seen as a pakeha 

or a white person’s sport. 

CULTURE: Sukhon said the 

tournament’s significance 

goes beyond cricket, 

helping him understand his 

whakapapa and growing the 

sport in Māori communities. 

“It’s so much more than 

cricket, it’s about bringing people 

together,” said Sukhon. 

Te Waipounamu Tane will be 

looking to do one better than last 

tournament’s effort – they lost the 

final to Tamaki Makaurau who 

claimed the inaugural title. 

A solid effort considering Te 

Waipounamu Tane players first 

met each other 10 minutes before 

the first ball was bowled. 

Sukhon said the vibes in the 

team camp were good and he 

was confident the combination of 

an experienced spine and young 

talent coming through would 

guide them to victory.

Land: 165; 1,528sqm and 169; 1.0298ha 

Thoughtful design and natural beauty come 

together in this elegant, architecturally designed 

residence positioned at the head of the 

harbour in Governors Bay. Originally known as 

the 'Tabak House', this was the first collaboration 

by renowned architectural duo David Sheppard 

and Jonty Rout (Sheppard & Rout Architects). 

This masterpiece ushered in a legacy of iconic 

works that would define their practice. 

Spanning approximately 328sqm (more or less), this

and the fabulous harbour views, whilst seamlessly 

blending in with its natural surroundings. The 

exterior has cedar board and baton cladding, 

cedar roof tiles and copper spouting.

master suite is a tranquil sanctuary with 

stunning water views, soaring Rimu ceilings 

and locally sourced elm built-in furniture. A 

private retreat where you can wake up to the 

sunrise and birdsong in the treetops. Two 

smaller bedrooms also share this floor. 

The lower-level suite is a haven with floor-to-ceiling 

bi-fold glazed doors that access the tiled 

terrace, and features a stunning tiled ensuite 

with ocean and garden views from the shower. 

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living 

spaces are designed to maximise the breathtaking 

harbour views with seamless transitions 

to the decks and garden for alfresco living and 

entertaining. The wine cellar creates an additional 

area for convivial entertaining while the dedicated 

library boasts floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a 

cosy wood stove and French doors to the terrace.

joinery at the top of the stairs, serving as a

Agile Solterra a solid first EV for Subaru 

SUBARU HAS TAKEN the full 

electric vehicle plunge, but it took 

some hand-holding from Toyota, 

who own a 20 per cent share of 

the company, to get them across 

the line and into the world of EVs. 

Their first battery electric 

vehicle is the Solterra, a 

Subarufied version of Toyota’s 

bZ4x EV, arrived here in March. 

Its debut was a case, through 

no fault of its own, of being in the 

wrong place at the wrong time. 

Our EV market had just been 

flipped on its ear with the axing 

of the previous Government’s 

generous clean car rebate. 

This scheme meant those 

purchasing an EV costing $80k 

or less received a rebate of around 

$8000. 

The EV road got even rockier 

in April when owners had to start 

paying road user charges of $80 

per 1000km. No surprises then, 

that EV sales this year have hit 

the proverbial wall, and will take 

a long time to rebound. 

The Solterra not only marks 

the debut of a Subaru battery 

electric vehicle (BEV) in New 

Zealand, it signals increased 

diversification in the Subaru 

model line-up that will include 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

more hybrid and EV models in 

future. 

The next one is expected to 

be the new generation Subaru 

Forester, the likely recipient of a 

Toyota-developed hybrid system. 

It will be transformational, 

with this and other models 

hamstrung by Subaru’s seriously 

underwhelming hybrid system. 

This why they have dialed up 

Toyota help get their hybrid 

house in order. 

A two-model Solterra line up 

heads up our market and leads 

off with the standard variant 

retailing at $79,990. Hard on 

its heels is the more lavishly 

appointed $84,990 Touring 

supplied for this road test. 

A two-tone paint option is 

available on selected paint colours 

to give your Solterra a bit more 

visual street appeal. 

Price-wise, the groundbreaking 

Solterra sits right in the 

middle of our EV market, and 

faces the heat of rampant discounting 

by many manufacturers 

to move stock. The Subaru brand 

has a strong reputation, putting 

it in a slightly better position to 

weather this storm. 

Both Solterras are fitted with 

Subaru’s acclaimed Symmetrical 

All-Wheel Drive mounted to 

the company’s new e-Global 

Platform. Dual function 

X-Mode helps traverse tricky 

terrain, while 210mm of ground 

clearance does its bit. 

If a long new vehicle warranty 

is important to you, then you 

won’t find it here with only a 

three-year guarantee on offer, 

although it does come with 

unlimited kilometres. 

Even so, Subaru is dragging 

their heels a bit, with most new 

vehicle warranties here good 

for at least five-years. MG has 

thrown down a challenge to its 

New Zealand rivals, recently 

announcing an industry-leading 

10-year/250,000km warranty. 

Sitting roughly size-wise 

between the Forester and 

Outback, the Solterra has plenty 

of power and off-road smarts, 

according to Subaru. 

They reckon this sets up well to 

explore more remote areas, if you 

are game enough to venture that 

far from an EV charger. 

I’m not convinced it’s capable 

of mixing it in the rough stuff, or 

wading through shallow creeks as 

reassuringly as its siblings. 

It felt like a light duties-only 

AWD, happiest on reasonably 

well formed tracks, and ski field 

roads. 

Equipped with dual electric 

motors strategically positioned 

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

Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for money: 6; 

Styling 7; Safety – Five star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7.5 

at the front and rear, alongside 

a cutting-edge 71.4kW lithiumion 

battery, Solterra delivers 

a maximum power output of 

160kW and 337Nm of torque 

and has an NEDC test range of 

485km. In real-world driving, 

I found the EV range mostly 

panned out at around 350km, an 

okay effort, not class-leading. 

The test car had more than 

enough heft to shift this decent 

sized SUV with plenty of urgency, 

and surrounds the vehicle 

occupants in a cloak of silence 

as it does so in lower-speed town 

driving. 

It’s a repeat performance on 

the open road, although the 

absence of engine bay sounds 

amplifies road noise, with the 

tyres a bit chirpy on coarse chip 

seal. 

Throttle response is 

exhilarating. Standing start 

acceleration provided by the 

electrified system makes most 

conventional engines seem 

pedestrian. A single-speed 

automatic is ultra-smooth and 

efficient. 

Charging the Subaru Solterra 

is easy, with both AC and DC 

charging capability. Charging 

from 20 to 80 per cent via a 

150kW DC charger takes around 

30 minutes, whereas via a singlephase 

7kW AC charger, 20 to 80 

per cent is a more laborious seven 

to eight hour haul. 

A roomy and welcoming 

cabin has an abundance of 

usable passenger and cargo 

space. Thoughtfully designed 

instruments and controls show 

plenty of attention to detail, and 

are easy to read and use. Stalk 

controls for the windscreen 

wipers and indicators are all 

within easy reach of the driver. 

Subaru’s all-electric offering 

includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen 

with satellite navigation, 

the company’s Safety Sense 

technology, wireless phone 

charging and a panoramic 

360-degree view monitor. 

The heated seats, two front 

and the outside rear seats, are 

heavenly on cold frosty mornings, 

so much so, that it becomes a real 

mental battle to leave them for 

the frigid conditions outside the 

vehicle. 

There’s an impressive 

panoramic sunroof, although it 

steals a few valuable centimetres 

of headroom, especially for taller 

back seat occupants. 

The Solterra also features a 

line-up of leading edge safety 

kit including dynamic radar 

cruise control and blind spot 

monitoring that alerts the driver 

to surrounding vehicles that just 

out of their view. 

The suspension, in unison with 

the symmetrical AWD system, 

offers confident and sure-footed 

road holding on our usual mixed 

bag of road surfaces. 

With its balance, poise, and 

agility, the extra weight of a 

battery pack at each end of vehicle 

enables it to superimpose itself 

on the road. The ride is generally 

comfy apart from lapsing into 

listless mode over high frequency 

bumps common in around town 

motoring.
