Governors Bay bus advocates want action 

• By Kees Chalmers 

HELP US VICKY! 

That’s the plea to Environment 

Canterbury councillor Vicky 

Southworth from Governors 

Bay residents fighting for a bus 

service. 

Governors Bay is in Southworth’s 

catchment, but some are 

questioning her commitment to 

the area and not pushing enough 

for a bus route. 

The community 

continues to 

lobby ECan for a 

long-awaited bus 

route extension. 

“I haven’t met 

her to be quite 

honest,” said 

Governors Bay 

John 

Thacker 

resident and advocate for the 

extension, John Thacker. 

“I just feel that the (ECan) 

council is not listening. I think 

she should be coming to the 

community and saying what’s 

going to happen and what needs to 

happen,” he said. 

Governors Bay Community 

Association chair John Bannock 

also said he had never met 

Southworth. 

“Haven’t heard from her, haven’t 

seen her,” he said. 

The community has been fighting 

for a bus route since it was 

axed after the 2011 earthquake. 

“If it had been pushed it would 

have gone ahead,” Bannock said 

of what he believes is a lack of 

interest from ECan. 

Southworth told Bay Harbour 

News: “I haven’t been as 

connected with the community 

specifically in Governors Bay as I 

perhaps should have been. I don’t 

think anybody’s been directly in 

contact with me to push it.” 

She said she stays in 

communication with Banks 

Peninsula Ward city councillor 

Tyrone Fields on the issue.

traditional café. 

“That’s how we differentiate 

ourselves from the rest of the

The building is currently 

closed for major renovations 

which started on April 1. 

“We ripped the place out – 

we’ve re-done the flooring and 

done a new layout,” Stevens 

said. 

Construction is expected 

to wrap up by the end of this 

month, with June focused on 

refining the interior design,

In Brief 

Community centre, hub for 

Cass Bay back on the table 

The issue of a community centre 

and emergency hub at Steadfast 

Reserve, Cass Bay, is back with 

the city council. At its meeting 

on Monday Te Pataka o 

Rakaihautu Banks Peninsula 

Community Board asked city 

council staff if a building at the 

reserve known as “the garage” 

could be made available. The Cass 

Bay Residents Association wants 

to use the reserve for the centre 

and hub. 

Bike racks on buses back 

in use for passengers 

Bike racks will now be available 

full-time on Metro bus route 8 

to allow passengers through the 

Lyttelton Tunnel, where cycling 

is banned. The racks can be used 

at all times, rather than during 

daytime, after additional lights 

were added to the buses due to 

safety concerns. 

Car crash near Hilltop 

A car veered off State Highway 75 

near Hilltop on Sunday morning. 

The car came to rest against a 

fence and was stuck “for a while” 

before a bystander helped him 

out of the car, said Little River 

Volunteer Fire Brigade chief John 

Genefass. The Little River and 

Akaroa volunteer fire brigades 

were called out about 9am, but 

were not required. The driver was 

uninjured.

Extending bus route to Governors Bay 

‘not a simple task’ – Southworth 

• From page 1 

Southworth said she has kept 

the bus route on the radar of 

ECan staff, but it was “sitting in 

a big pot of things people want to 

see changed”. 

“Public transport 

is a tough 

space to get any 

progress on at 

the moment, we 

can’t even progress 

the things 

we’ve got support 

for let alone 

add new things 

in,” she said. 

Vicky 

Southworth 

Fields, Thacker and Otororimo 

Hotel owner Jeremy Dyer made a 

submission for the bus extension 

at the ECan annual draft plan 

hearings. 

Fields suggested connecting 

Governors Bay to the No 1 route 

which finishes in Cashmere or 

the No 3 route which finishes in 

Sumner. 

Dyer proposed extending the 

No 8 route which finishes in 

Rapaki. 

“There’s maybe 50 people that 

live in Rapaki, if they come an 

extra 2km down the road you 

reach a population of 1000,” he 

said. 

“It’s about fairness and equity 

for a considerable portion of 

Christchurch ratepayers that 

have done without public transport 

for a long time.” 

Said Fields: “Whatever route 

ECan decide to go with, it will be 

the most spectacular bus ride in 

the world.” 

He said ECan was supportive 

of the extension and hopes it will 

get “serious analysis.” 

But Southworth said adding 

Governors Bay to the No 8 route 

is not as simple as it seems. 

“To extend any individual 

trip to Governors Bay would 

require a full reset of the route 8 

timetable. 

“Costing this change is not a 

simple task and would require 

a full route review to determine 

the operational impact and 

overall cost implication,” she 

said. 

The ECan public transport 

team will review public transport 

access to Governors Bay as part 

of a network review for greater 

Christchurch for completion in 

December next year. 

Said Southworth: “We will 

work with communities to ensure 

we understand their needs, 

and explore options, noting

been fighting for a bus route since it was axed after the

Environment Canterbury will 

never be able to service all areas 

and every journey. 

“We hear and acknowledge 

the frustration of communities 

regarding access to public 

transport and the speed of 

network improvements, the 

reality is that we are working in 

a very constrained environment 

with limited resources including 

funding.

improvements, however small,” 

she said. 

If a bus route extends to 

Governors Bay it will come at 

a cost. Ratepayers would pay a 

public transport rate of $36.72 

per $100,000 capital value of 

their property. 

If ECan decides to prioritise 

the bus extension, a public 

consultation process will need to 

take place to gauge community 

support for a public transport 

rate before it is considered 

for the next annual plan, said 

Southworth. 

“I really hope that Governors 

Bay as a community recognise its 

value, but that’s not necessarily 

the case.” 

Thacker thinks it is fair the 

community pays a rate for a bus 

route. 

“We’re all a part of 

Christchurch and we all pay 

for things we don’t fully use,” 

he said.

Keep the lights on – residents 


SUMNER RESIDENTS have 

given their verdict on the issue of 

the Cave Rock mast. 

They say the status quo should 

remain: Keep the lights on every 

night from dusk until 11pm, except 

for when a request is made 

for them to be turned off and 

during Matariki. 

It comes as the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote 

Community 

Board is seeking public 

feedback after some people in the 

community raised concerns over 

the brightness, configuration 

and frequency of the lights. 

Some residents have also taken 

issue with the mast shape having 

religious connotations. 

The solar powered lights were 

installed in 2021, after lobbying 

from the Sumner Redcliffs Historical 

Society and the Sumner 

Community Residents’ Association. 

The board is inviting feedback 

on how the lighting should be 

managed, including the daily 

operating hours and how often 

the mast should be lit. 

Deputy chair Keir Leslie told 

The Press the board “inherited” 

the lighting problem. 

When the previous board 

signed a deed of accessibility 

with the Breakfree Foundation 

in November 2020, it stipulated 

that the foundation was solely 

responsible for operation, 

maintenance, and repair of the 

lights. 

Leslie said a “change of 

language” in the deed meant the 

foundation could have the lights 

on every night, as opposed to 

just on holidays like Christmas 

and Easter. 

“This is an opportunity 

to have a conversation with 

the community that possibly 

didn’t happen at the time of the 

change.” 

Bay Harbour 

News spoke to 

residents to get 

their views. 

Sebastian 

Koburg 

“It doesn’t 

bother me at all. 

I think it’s a good thing that the 

rock is illuminated. I don’t really 

mind if it looks like a cross, it’s a 

free country.” 

Gordon Minns 

“It’s 160-yearsold. 

It’s part of 

Sumner’s history, 

given it was used 

160-years-ago, 

it should get to 

stay. I have no problem with it 

whatsoever, my wife and I love 

looking at it from our house and, 

if we’ve been away for a while, it 

reminds us we’re 

home.” 

Shellie 

Pounsford 

“I think it 

should stay, I’m 

a Christian and 

personally I like 

it. If it bothers people they need 

to find a different way of looking 

at it.” 

Kate 

Livingston 

“I don’t feel very 

strongly about it. 

I suppose it is a 

bit imposing of 

Christian beliefs 

on to people.” 

Pam Sundstrum 

“I like the cross 

and I’d hate to 

see it go. Anti- 

Christian people 

don’t like it and I 

say too bad. The 

locals put a lot of 

work into it, it’s been there for a 

long time, it would be a shame to 

see it go. I think the minority get 

too much say.” 

Lis Bennett 

“The first 

time I came to 

Sumner I had to 

ask my partner if 

it was a religious 

cross, so if you 

want it to have 

religious meaning it has religious 

meaning. I’ve never been faulted 

by it, as long as 

it doesn’t effect 

wildlife it’s fine.” 

Ivana Aisen 

“It doesn’t 

offend me. I guess 

I would ask why 

that religion, and 

not any other? But Christianity 

is the most popular so it makes 

sense. I don’t live super close to 

the lights so it 

doesn’t bother 

me.” 

Bobbie 

Jones 

“I don’t look 

at as a religious 

symbol and the 

lights make it a cool beacon 

for when I’m driving back. It 

symbolises that I’m coming 

home, I don’t understand why 

people are upset.”

Full Circle 

by Jenny-May Clarkson 

Outwardly successful, Jenny-May 

Clarkson (ex Silver Fern, Breakfast

with Imposter Syndrome and never 

feeling ‘good enough’. Her life was 

further shaken by the diagnosis of 

bowel cancer in her older brother and 

his eventual death. 

The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris 

by Evie Woods 

From the million-copy bestselling author of The 

Lost Bookshop Nestled among the cobblestone 

streets of Compiègne, there existed a bakery 

unlike any other. Rumours were whispered 

through the town that its pastries offered a 

taste of magic, chasing away the darkest of 

sorrows. Just one bite of a croissant might 

bring luck, unlock a precious memory or reveal 

hidden longings. But dark clouds were looming 

on the horizon… For Edie Lane, a recipe for 

disaster doesn’t require that many ingredients. 

Take an unhealthy amount of wishful thinking 

and a sprinkle of desperation and that’s how 

Edie left everything behind in Ireland for her 

dream job at a bakery in Paris. Except the 

bakery isn’t in Paris – and neither is Edie. This 

might not be where Edie intended to be but she 

soon realizes it’s exactly where she needs to be. 

The Remarkable Truths of Alfie Bains 

by Sarah Clutton 

Alfie’s mum, Emilia, has been lying to him 

forever. It’s only been the two of them in 

Ireland, but when Emilia’s appendix explodes, 

she drops a bombshell: they have a family 

back in Australia and she and Alfie are going 

to meet them. When Penny Bains opens the 

door of her Tasmanian farmhouse to a boy 

with an Irish accent claiming to be the son 

of her missing daughter, Emilia, her life is 

turned upside down. Alfie needs to know 

who his father is, but the residents of the tiny 

town of Beggars Rock and his newly found 

grandmother and great-aunts are all staying 

silent. As Alfie starts to uncover secrets that 

his family would prefer to keep buried, the one 

thing he does discover is that no one is willing 

to tell him the truth. Unforgettable, funny, life 

affirming and deeply moving, The Remarkable 

Truths of Alfie Bains is an absolute joy.

An inspiring new memoir about redemption and second 

chances from the former rugby league player 

by Jaye Pukepuke 

A redemptive story about second chances. 

Jaye Pukepuke committed 15 armed 

robberies before he was caught by police 

and sent to prison. He tells people that 

while he spent almost six years inside, he 

served 16, because it took him another 

decade simply to get his life back to the 

starting blocks. Prison also took away 

his lifelong dream: to be a professional 

rugby league player in Australia’s NRL 

competition. It was years before he was 

permitted to leave New Zealand’s shores. 

Jaye had to choose a different path to the 

one he had longed for - one that would take 

him on an unexpected journey to become a 

warrior of a different kind.

RACE: The Government is introducing new laws aimed at putting the brakes 

on illegal street racing but independent Banks Peninsula Ward candidate 

Dave Dunlay believes the city council can also do more to combat the issue. 

Call for more action 

to tackle boy racers 

INDEPENDENT Banks Peninsula 

Ward council candidate Dave Dunlay 

is welcoming the Government’s new 

crackdown on boy racers, calling it “long 

overdue” – and urging the city council to 

take inspiration from successful 

strategies used elsewhere in the 

country and abroad. 

“We’ve put up with it for far too 

long. The noise, the danger, the 

disruption – enough is enough,” he 

said. 

Dunlay, who has lived on Brittan 

Tce in Lyttelton for nearly 30 years, 

said boy racers have made life 

miserable for communities across 

Banks Peninsula. 

“Every weekend, the same thing happens. 

Dyers Pass, Lyttelton, Governors Bay, Cass 

Bay and Gebbies Valley all taken over by 

convoys of modified cars and dangerous 

driving. 

“People are scared to leave their homes 

or walk their dogs at night. It’s not just 

antisocial, it’s intimidation.” 

The Government has outlined extensive 

new laws aimed at putting the brakes on 

illegal street racing including: 

• Increasing fines for excessive vehicle 

noise from $50 to $300 

• Giving police greater powers to shut 

down illegal gatherings 

School sports 

gear sale 

raises $5000 

TE RAEKURA Redcliffs School’s first 

sports gear sale has been hailed as a 

success after it raised about $5000. 

The money from the used gear sale 

will go towards supporting school programmes, 

outdoor learning, and inclusive 

play initiatives for pupils. 

Lead organiser Amira Mikhail said the 

event exceeded expectations. 

“It is an incredible amount, a success in 

every sense of the word. The money raised 

will be used directly for our PTA to invest 

in the school and priorities like a new 

sensory playground and continue funding 

our wellness counsellor.” 

• Enabling police to seize and destroy 

vehicles of repeat or fleeing offenders 

Dunlay said while these changes are 

welcome, he wants to see the city council 

and police go further, drawing on ideas that 

have worked in other parts of the 

country and overseas. 

“In places like Hamilton, 

they’re using acoustic cameras 

that detect illegal vehicle noise in 

real time. In Auckland, physical 

deterrents like speed humps and 

chicanes have been installed in 

known hotspots. 

Dave “In Dunedin, police have trialled 

Dunlay stopping repeat offenders from 

entering certain streets at night. 

“Overseas, cities in the UK have 

successfully implemented Public Space 

Protection Orders to ban street racing in 

specific areas, backed by real enforcement. 

“Some councils in Australia have even 

created designated track nights to channel 

car culture away from public streets.” 

Dunlay wants Christchurch to adopt a 

similar toolkit of interventions, combining 

enforcement with community-based 

deterrents. 

“We should be using CCTV and noise 

monitoring more strategically and we 

should be backing police with the tools and 

funding they need to act.” 

The sports gear on offer ranged from 

near-new wetsuits and bikes to well-loved 

football boots and ski gear. 

The sale aimed to help make sports 

more accessible and affordable to parents 

and pupils. 

“Nothing went to the dump from the 

sale. It was returned to the vendor or 

donated to charity.” 

She said another sale will be planned for 

March next year.

A special gift for Mother Nature 

MORE THAN 700 volunteers 

collected 2.6 tonnes of rubbish 

from city waterways during the 

annual Mother of All Clean-Ups 

event. 

In two hours on Saturday 

morning, volunteers filled 400 

bags and removed 200 large 

items from areas including the 

Avon and Heathcote rivers, the 

estuary, Lyttelton Harbour 

basin and New Brighton beach. 

Larger items found included car 

parts, bumpers, polystyrene, and 

a shopping trolley. 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust manager Tanya Jenkins 

said 50 community groups 

took part in the event, which is 

jointly organised by the estuary 

trust, Ōpāwaho/Heathcote 

River Network, Conservation 

Volunteers NZ, Avon-Ōtākaro 

Network and the Community 

Waterways Group. 

Rubbish collected on the day 

was disposed of by Citycare staff. 

Jenkins said the event was 

timed for Mothers Day weekend 

to “give Mother Nature a gift”. 

Volunteers were also dismayed 

by the amount of dog faeces 

found along the river and estuary 

edges. 

“Many were in plastic bags, 

which only adds to the problem,” 

Jenkins said. 

“I hope dog owners realise this

RĀPAKI SCHOOL has been 

restored to its former glory – 

with a few modern upgrades. 

Ngāti Wheke officially 

reopened the historic building 

on Saturday after a $700,000 

restoration project which began 

in February 2024. 

The work included structural 

repairs, seismic strengthening, a 

new toilet and shower block, and 

relocating the building to a more 

stable part of the same section to 

reduce the risk of erosion. 

MANY HANDS: City councillor Celeste Donovan (right), city council staff and members of 

New Brighton Predator Free collect rubbish near the estuary. Right, Ferrymead Rotary 

members Barbara, Roger and Robin work in the lower Heathcote River area. 

“Our old 

schoolhouse 

has served us 

for 150 years, 

and with this 

restoration, it 

will serve us and 

the community 

for another 

150 years,” Donald 

said Rāpaki Couch 

kaumātua Donald Couch. 

“It will not only represent 

an important time in our 

history but will provide a 

supplementary informal space

Heritage preserved as school reopens 

to do things separately from the 

marae.” 

Built in 1876, Rāpaki School 

was part of a network of village 

primary schools established by 

the Native School Department 

to educate children in Ngāi Tahu 

communities. It operated for 

70 years before closing in 1946, 

after World War 2. 

The building was still an 

integral part of the community, 

used as a hub for hapū meetings, 

a preschool, and a base for 

Tangata Tiaki (guardians of the 

local marine environment). 

Couch said preserving the 

schoolhouse and the nearby 

restored Rāpaki Church was 

vital for maintaining the area’s 

heritage. 

“It is a place where major 

transition was made in this 

community and by the people 

who lived here. 

“(Rāpaki School) represents 

how our people knuckled 

down and got through tough 

times and I think with the 

renovations, with any reasonable 

chance it will serve for another 

150 years.”

Eye surgeon set to 

be released after 

attempted murder 

• By Sam Sherwood 

EYE SURGEON Ian Dallison, who 

attempted to murder his former business 

landlord, has been granted parole. 

After being declared bankrupt on 

August 4, 2022, Dallison stormed into 

the Lyttelton home of Alberto Ceccarelli 

and attempted to shoot him while he 

was eating dinner with his wife, Antje 

Schmidt. 

Dallison was jailed for almost seven 

years in 2023. 

A parole board spokesperson said 

Dallison appeared before the board on 

Monday. He will be released next month. 

It was earlier revealed Dallison (right) 

had been in an intimate relationship with 

district court Judge Jane Farish. 

Farish was Dallison’s girlfriend at 

the time of his attack on Ceccarelli and 

Schmidt. 

Dallison was armed with 

nine guns and 167 rounds 

of ammunition when he 

drove to the couple’s home 

in St Davids St, the police 

summary of facts stated. 

He had been declared 

bankrupt in proceedings 

brought by Ceccarelli, to 

whom he owed a large 

amount of money for failing 

Jane Farish 

to pay the rent at his commercial building. 

He fired a Ruger semi-automatic pistol 

at Ceccarelli, with the bullet narrowly 

missing the businessman’s head. 

Ceccarelli and Schmidt then rushed 

Dallison, sparking a violent scuffle, during 

which Dallison gouged Ceccarelli’s eye. 

The Supreme Court earlier ruled media 

could report the relationship between 

Dallison and Farish. 

The court said it was accepted Farish 

knew nothing of Dallison’s plans and had 

no involvement in the offending. 

She knew Dallison for years before 

beginning a romantic relationship with 

him in 2012. They maintained separate 

homes throughout the relationship and 

she had only stayed at his house once in 

the year before his rampage. 

At sentencing Crown prosecutor Claire 

Hislop read victim impact statements on 

behalf of Alberto Ceccarelli and his wife 

Antje Schmidt, who recounted the horror 

of having their home invaded by an armed 

Dallison on August 4, 2022. 

“Our security and our home have been 

severely violated.” 

Dallison entered Ceccareli’s Lyttleton 

home at about 7.40pm while he and 

Schmidt were eating dinner. 

The court heard how Dallison fired a 

Ruger semi-automatic pistol, the bullet 

narrowly missing Ceccerelli’s head, lodging 

itself in the doorframe over his right 

shoulder. 

Both Ceccarelli and Schmidt then 

rushed Dallison, sparking a violent scuffle. 

According to Ceccarelli’s victim impact 

statement, he was still feeling the effects of 

the fracas where Dallison gouged his eye. 

“Previously I had no issues reading brief 

things, like an email for instance, but now 

I can only read a few lines at a time and 

have to stop. 

“When I’m working in the day, the 

daylight is too bright and it offends my 

NEWS 11 

sight so I have to block the sunlight out by 

having my blinds pulled down. 

“I still suffer daily with headaches, 

which I have to use panadol.” 

Ceccarelli said he felt “anxious” and 

admitted it was difficult to think about the 

future, in relation to the eventual release of 

Dallison. 

Schmidt was drawn into the attack and 

struck several times on the back of the 

head by the butt of Dallison’s gun. 

“I have difficulties falling and staying 

asleep due to the pain of my head injuries 

and anxiety. It is agony to put my head 

down on a pillow to sleep. 

“I have difficulty of concentration, 

feeling constantly distressed and on 

edge, feeling light-headed and nauseous, 

constant headaches. I become very jumpy, 

tense and jittery.” 

The court heard Dallison was a commercial 

tenant of Ceccarelli, the former owing 

the latter’s trust about $250,000 in unpaid 

rent and expenses. 

Defence lawyer Paul Borich conceded 

Dallison worked himself into a state on the 

day of the attack and behaved “irrationally” 

after being declared bankrupt hours 

earlier. 

“His behaviour on this day was extreme 

– he did not look to others for help, nor did 

he take what advice had been given. 

“Being bankrupt was the final straw and 

he completely and totally lost the plot.” 

Justice Andru Isac, however, told 

the court there was a high degree of 

premeditation and his actions were 

“inexplicable”. 

He said Dallison wrongly blamed 

Ceccarelli for his own financial woes and 

had established a pattern of not dealing 

with civil disputes reasonably. 

“You don’t take kindly to anyone with 

whom you have a financial dispute, be it 

former spouses, family or business partners. 

“In such situations you have said to 

become arrogant, irrational, angry and 

uncompromising, some might describe 

such behaviour as entitled.” 

Isac said unlike many defendants who 

appear in front of the court, Dallison had 

lived “a privileged life”. 

He also pointed to other factors such 

as the Canterbury earthquakes and 

diminishing demand for laser treatment 

resulted in falling profitability of Dallison’s 

practice.

Skies alive with seasonal bird movements 

AS THE SEASONS shift, wildlife 

migrations are under way across 

Banks Peninsula and the city. 

In March, the godwits began 

their annual journey to Alaska, 

while many local waterbirds 

migrated to Australia and the 

North Island. 

Land birds are also on 

the move, with fantails now 

appearing more frequently across 

the city. Bellbirds, grey warblers, 

and finches are becoming more 

visible during the cooler months. 

One surprising migratory 

species is the 

familiar harrier 

hawk. 

While not 

often considered 

a migratory 

bird, many 

harriers shift 

to lowland and 

coastal areas 

during autumn 

and winter – 

Andrew 

Crossland 

with significant numbers passing 

through Christchurch. 

City council parks ecologist 

Andrew Crossland said autumn 

is when harriers are often spotted 

flying north over city suburbs 

or feeding on roadkill in rural 

areas. 

“They’re sometimes slow 

to react to approaching cars, 

especially young birds just a few 

months old,” he said. 

SEASONAL SHIFT: Migrating harrier hawks and visiting fantails are just two of the many 

native birds on the move across the city during autumn. 

PHOTOS: CCC/DOC 

Harriers are easily recognised 

by the white patch of feathers on 

the backs of their heads. 

Whether their seasonal movements 

count as true migration or 

simply post-breeding dispersal 

is still debated among ornithologists. 

However, sightings of harriers 

flying along the northern 

Canterbury and Marlborough 

coasts – and crossing Cook Strait 

– suggest a migration pattern. 

“Council park rangers have, 

over many years, documented 

harrier numbers doubling along 

Kaitorete Spit and around the 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai, 

with a dominant autumn northward 

movement of harriers over 

Gebbies Pass, along the summit 

of the Port Hills and northwards 

along the city dunes and coastal 

wetlands,” Crossland said. 

Some harriers pause during 

migration to feed or gather at 

dusk in communal night roosts, 

where as many as 20 birds may 

settle for the night. 

“Only a few local roosts are 

known – at Travis Wetland, the 

Bromley oxidation ponds and at 

locations around Lake Ellesmere. 

“Protection measures are in 

place to ensure continued use 

of these night roosts, including 

predator control and provision 

of suitable vegetation,” Crossland 

said. 

“We would appreciate hearing 

from members of the public who 

may know of any additional 

roosts on council park and 

reserve land so these sites can 

also be protected.”

Seaside rivals to mark a 

century of shield clashes 

• By Sam Coughlan 

A HUNDRED years of rugby 

history will be celebrated at St 

Leonards Square on Saturday 

when Sumner and New Brighton 

clash for the Falton Shield. 

The trophy, contested annually 

between the two seaside clubs, 

marks its 100th anniversary this 

weekend. The first match was won 

by New Brighton in 1925. 

Sumner life member and 

current division 

2 coach Robbie 

Timo has fond 

memories of Falton 

Shield clashes. 

“ It was lost for a 

few years in their 

(New Brighton’s 

offices. I think it 

was 1978 or 1979 

until 1991 or 1992 

– they were clearing it out and 

Robbie 

Timo 

they found the shield in the back. 

“ They brought it down and said, 

‘we’re playing for the shield’, and I 

remember going into the shed and 

saying, ‘we’re grabbing that shield 

today’, and we won 9-3.” 

Another standout memory for 

Timo came in 1996. 

“We were playing at Rawhiti 

and there was a real low-lying fog. 

It was so cold and we managed to 

win. It was really cool because it 


JACK TYRO’S hunger to become 

world champion has only grown 

stronger after an improved 

second outing at the Surf City El 

Salvador ISA World Longboarding 

Championships. 

“Any contest like this, it sets me 

a goal, it lets me see the best and 

shows me how to get there,” the 

18-year old Sumner surfer said. 

“I go into contests thinking 

I’m going to try and do the best I 

possibly can, but really the goal is 

to be world champion.”

was just fog all 

around you.” 

New Brighton 

head coach Scott 

Pawson, who 

played in the 

fixture during the 

late 1990s, now 

leads the club’s 

premier side and 

knows exactly 

what the rivalry means. 

Scott 

Pawson 

“ Any time I play in a game or 

coach a game, I make sure our 

guys know the history of it. 

“ The games I played in were 

huge, close games. I can’t recall a 

game that was a massive blowout. 

“It’s always very close physical 

games, and it will be the same on 

the weekend,” Pawson said. 

Despite the two teams’ 

contrasting fortunes this season 

– New Brighton sit top of the 

table with four bonus-point wins, 

while Sumner are winless in 11th 

– Pawson expects a tough battle. 

“Games like this bring out a 

different beast and I know their 

coaches will be making sure they 

are primed for this. 

“The reward is competition 

points, but also that shield, and it 

does mean a lot to both clubs.” 

Now colloquially known as the 

‘Seaside Shield’, New Brighton 

are the current holders after a 

20-7 win last year. Kick off is at 

2.45pm.

event – an improvement on his 

22nd place finish last year. 

The event posed new challenges, 

including seven-foot waves – far 

larger than what he’s used to at 

home. To adapt, he tweaked his 

equipment, modifying his board 

to better suit the conditions. 

The changes paid off, but Tyro 

still wasn’t completely satisfied. 

“Improvement was definitely the 

hope. It’s what I was aiming for, 

but I wish I’d been able to get a bit 

further,” he said.“Improvement 

was definitely the hope. It’s what 

I was aiming for but I wish I was

Longboarding Championships. 

able to get a bit further,” he said. 

Competing with some of the 

world’s top surfers was both motivating 

and humbling for Tyro. 

“I was kind of starstruck with 

the level the boys were riding at 

but everyone’s really friendly at 

comps like that. It’s all about team 

spirit and surfing,” he said. 

Tyro’s biggest lessons came from 

riding bigger waves and adjusting 

to the lack of control smaller waves 

offer. 

“It was hard for us (competitors) 

to do anything we wanted to do or 

try things out. The biggest thing 

was to create my own style in big 

waves,” he said. 

It has been a breakout year for 

Tyro, capped by a third-place 

finish in the Oceania Qualifying 

Series – just one spot from qualifying 

for the World Surf League. 

He is back at home over the 

winter, but Tyro has another big 

opportunity on the horizon. 

A win at August’s Bells 

Beach Longboard Classic trials 

in Victoria would earn him a 

wildcard entry into the prestigious 

professional event in September. 

“I’ve surfed more than a 

thousand heats, so whatever the 

contest, I don’t get fazed anymore.” 

When summer returns, 

Tyro will head to Noosa 

Heads, Queensland, to begin 

preparations for next year’s 

Oceania Qualifying Series.

Ioniq 5 N delivers electrifying performance 

HYUNDAI HAVE added new 

super power to the ranks of their 

high performance N portfolio, in 

the form of the Ioniq 5 N EV – 

the fastest Hyundai ever. 

This car is a real circuit breaker 

– smashing records at some of 

Europe’s toughest racetracks. 

Ioniq 5 N is one tough supercar 

with a monocoque-strengthened 

body to support its highperformance 

capability. 

Aerodynamic enhancements 

including wheel deflectors, side 

skirts, a rear diffuser, and a series 

of under covers that extend 

over the most of the vehicle’s 

underbody reduce drag and add 

downforce. 

The Ioniq 5 N design team 

have fashioned an eye-catching 

vehicle. It starts with a striking 

side profile underpinned by 

N-exclusive lightweight 21-inch 

forged alloy wheels shod with 

high-performance 275/35R21 

Pirelli tyres – 20mm wider than 

those of the regular Ioniq 5. 

You are reminded almost 

every time you make a tight lowspeed 

turn on smooth bitumen 

surfaces where these super-size 

tyres growl and grab at the road 

surface. 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

It all seems a bit out of 

character in a $134,995 car that 

should be all polish and poise – 

and for the most part it is. 

A rear spoiler increases the 

length of the car by 100mm 

over the standard Ioniq 5, 

and features a motorsportinspired 

integrated triangular 

high-mount stoplight. The rear 

treatment is completed with an 

EV N-exclusive luminous orange 

strip. 

Dynamic design features 

include N-exclusive bumpers, 

wheel arch extensions plus a rear 

spoiler. This theme continues 

inside the cabin with N-Light 

sports front seats, steering wheel, 

console with lateral support, 

pedals and footrest. The colour 

palate range includes the N 

signature Performance Blue, the 

chosen hue for the test vehicle. 

User-selectable sounds give 

the driver aural feedback 

to accompany powertrain 

performance based on rpm, 

speed, torque and accelerator 

position. 

All-wheel drive is essential to 

manage the Ioniq 5 N’s 448kW 

and 770Nm EV powertrain. N 

Grin Boost unleashes an extra 

30kW maximum power when 

the driver hits the red button 

on the steering wheel. However, 

the extra thrust is short lived 

– in fact only 10 seconds of 

hyper boost is offered. It can be 

reactivated after a 10-second 

pause with another push of the 

red button. 

This EV power train has 

multiple personalities ranging 

from easygoing and smooth for 

the everyday driver, to fast, fun 

and devilishly quick over twisty 

back roads. 

Smooth and incredibly 

potent, the Ioniq 5 N mounts 

a compelling argument that 

includes a 3.4 second 0-100km/h 

sprint time, if you are in search 

of EV for performance from 

another stratosphere. 

With no engine noise, you tend 

to notice almost every decibel of 

wind and road noise at highway 

speeds, and on long road trips it 

does become a little tiring. 

Riding on a mega size 

3000mm wheelbase provides a 

huge cabin area with exceptional 

passenger and load space. A 

moveable centre console can 

slide back by up to 140mm. 

This, plus the flat floor where 

the batteries are stored, are the 

keys to a passenger compartment 

with wide-open spaces to burn. 

Electronically adjustable 

front seats recline, creating a 

weightless feeling when you sit in 

them – all a bit surreal, but super 

comfy to sit in. A 30 per cent 

Rating out of 10: Performance 9; Handling 9; Build Quality 

8; Comfort 6; Space 9; Styling 8; Value for money 7; Safety - 

ANCAP 5-star crash test rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 8.5 

reduction in the thickness of the 

front seats liberates more room 

for rear seat occupants. 

Once behind the wheel you 

get to wrap your mitts around 

an N-exclusive semi-perforated 

leather steering wheel that has 

been sized and sculpted for 

extended track use, and features 

intuitively placed buttons for the 

various drive modes. 

The N-Light sports front seats 

with heating and ventilation 

blend both comfort and 

exceptional support. Adding 

a distinctive yet classy touch 

to the interior is the premium 

black Alcantara suede and 

natural leather seats. These look 

impressive with N-exclusive 

Performance Blue stitching, that 

extends to the steering wheel, 

crash pad, first-row door trims 

and armrests. 

Collectively, all these elements 

work remarkably well to bring 

special ambience to the cabin 

that a vehicle of this highperformance 

stature deserves. 

There’s an impressive arsenal 

of safety kit, some of which 

is based on camera image 

recognition. Parking collision 

avoidance assist helps prevent 

low-speed collisions with 

pedestrians or obstacles when 

driving up to 10km/h. 

A high-definition camera 

and ultrasonic sensors detect 

obstacles, with the system 

warning the driver with visual 

and audible alerts. The vehicle’s 

smart key enhances security by 

protecting against wireless key 

hacking. Meanwhile wireless 

smartphone connectivity 

supports Android Auto and 

Apple CarPlay. 

The handling lives up to 

the hype that preceded the 

arrival of Ioniq 5 N with fully 

variable front and rear torque 

distribution the driver can 

adjust to 11 levels. 

The e-LSD (electronic limitedslip 

differential) at the rear axle 

is the cornerstone of the vehicle’s 

superior cornering performance 

and control. Additional wheel 

sensors and broader damping 

ranges with increased damper 

size, broadens the overall 

suspension tuning capacity. 

This hefty vehicle with its 

wide stance locks itself down 

confidently on the road during 

brisk cornering. The low-speed 

ride is a bit of bruiser but 

that’s to be expected from a 

vehicle that’s laser-focused on 

performance. 

If it’s a comfy well cushioned 

ride you are seeking, you have 

landed on the wrong vehicle and 

would be better to detour to the 

more affordable Ioniq 5. It’s an 

engaging and enjoyable drive 

but with that extra overlay of 

ride comfort. 

For the uncompromising 

road-holding demanded for an 

EV excitement machine, the 

Ioniq 5 N’s suspension is tuned 

to perfection.
