THURSDAY, JULY 6, <strong>2023</strong><br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

IT IS SET TO be a whirlwind<br />

next two months for water polo<br />

player Aggie Weston as she jets<br />

across the world to represent<br />

New Zealand.<br />

Weston, 18, will compete<br />

at the ANOC World Beach<br />

Games in Bali next month and<br />

under-20 water polo world<br />

championships in Portugal in<br />

September.<br />

The Rangi Ruru Girls’ School<br />

year 13 student was recently<br />

named top goal scorer at the<br />

National Water Polo League<br />

where Canterbury claimed<br />

bronze.<br />

Weston captained the Rangi<br />

Ruru team to a fifth place finish<br />

at the New Zealand secondary<br />

schools’ water polo championships<br />

in April. They were the<br />

top South Island school at the<br />

tournament.<br />

Weston was the team’s most<br />

valuable player at the South<br />

Island tournament earlier this<br />

year. She is also the school’s<br />

head of sport.<br />

Rangi Ruru director of sport<br />

Mandy Anderson<br />

said Weston<br />

has been a key<br />

player in the<br />

senior A team<br />

for five years and<br />

is a “stunning”<br />

player to watch.<br />

“Her power,<br />

strength and<br />

speed in the<br />

water is impressive. Aggie<br />

has been a member of the<br />

Canterbury women’s team for<br />

past three seasons and recently<br />

took out top goal scorer in the<br />

National League, assisting her<br />

team to a bronze medal – the<br />

first medal at a senior women’s<br />

Concerns<br />

over pupils’<br />

safety<br />

drives<br />

upgrade<br />

of busy<br />

roundabout<br />

• By Briar Allen<br />

A BUSY roundabout will get<br />

an upgrade after concerns were<br />

raised about school pupils’ safety.<br />

Speed safe cushions, which<br />

are padded bumps used to slow<br />

traffic, will be trialled at the<br />

pedestrian crossing points and<br />

approach to the Waimairi Rd/<br />

Grahams Rd roundabout in<br />

Burnside.<br />

Pedestrian rails will also be<br />

added to the islands and cycle<br />

sharrow markings<br />

will be put in.<br />

Westburn School<br />

principal Susan<br />

Jennison has raised<br />

safety issues with<br />

children walking,<br />

cycling and<br />

scooting through<br />

the intersection.<br />

A Waka Kotahi<br />

Susan<br />

Jennison<br />

NZ Transport Agency analysis<br />

was used to identify 13 recorded<br />

crashes at the intersection<br />

since 2013. Six of them resulted<br />

in minor injuries, while four<br />

involved people walking and<br />

cycling. One of the main safety<br />

concerns was around crossing<br />

Grahams Rd north of the<br />

intersection where there are two<br />

lanes and vehicles turning left at<br />

speed.<br />

Changes proposed for roads as<br />

cruising bylaw gets updated<br />

• By Briar Allen<br />

BELFAST AND Harewood<br />

residents have been listened<br />

to, with restrictions set to be<br />

changed on five roads.<br />

It is proposed Blakes Rd in<br />

Belfast is removed from the Prohibited<br />

Times on Roads register,<br />

while the full length of Lakes<br />

Way, Outlook Pl, Lakeside Pl and<br />

Jet Pl in Harewood are added.<br />

The removal of Blakes Rd<br />

means driving restrictions on<br />

the road will cease, due to the<br />

development of the residential<br />

area.<br />

The roads being added to the<br />

register are due to concerns<br />

about boy racers and would prohibit<br />

vehicles between 10pm and<br />

5am, with some roads potentially<br />

prohibited seven days and others<br />

on selected days.<br />

City council transport operations<br />

manager<br />

Stephen Wright<br />

said Blakes Rd was<br />

in a rural area, but<br />

recent subdivision<br />

development<br />

meant it was now<br />

Stephen<br />

Wright<br />

used to access residential<br />

properties.<br />

“This means it is<br />

no longer appropriate for the city<br />

council to prohibit night-time<br />

vehicle access, as residents need<br />

to access their homes,” he said.<br />

Wright said the roads were<br />

identified by community board<br />

members, by the public, through<br />

concerns and complaints, by city<br />

council staff and by the police.<br />

“The roads tend to be in<br />

secluded areas where there is a<br />

history of people gathering to<br />

watch or take part in risky or<br />

unsafe driving, such as burnouts<br />

and street racing, in industrial or<br />

rural-city fringe areas.”<br />

He said the city council is also<br />

looking to modernise and update<br />

the Cruising and Prohibited<br />

Times on Roads Bylaw.<br />

“There have been changes<br />

in the last decade. The bylaw<br />

aims to reduce dangerous<br />

and antisocial vehicle-related<br />

behaviour on our roads, and<br />

enables the police to take<br />

certain enforcement actions,<br />

complementing other powers<br />

they have.”<br />

Waimāero Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board member<br />

Jason Middlemiss said both the<br />

removal and addition of the<br />

roads will have a<br />

huge impact on<br />

the area.<br />

He said it would<br />

give residences in<br />

the commercial<br />

areas peace of<br />

Jason<br />

Middlemiss<br />

mind, knowing<br />

they could call<br />

the police, which<br />

could enforce<br />

ROADS: Blakes Rd is one<br />

of five roads in Belfast<br />

and Harewood set to have<br />

restrictions changed.<br />

the bylaw.<br />

Middlemiss also said the<br />

removal Blakes Rd would help<br />

stop traffic building up and<br />

benefit those in the residential<br />

area.<br />

The city council has opened<br />

the plan to the wider public for<br />

consultation, with submissions<br />

closing on <strong>July</strong> 25. Submissions<br />

can be made via the city council<br />

website.<br />

It is anticipated a decision<br />

will be made on the final bylaw<br />

before the end of the year.<br />

DRIVER EDUCATION<br />

Speed cushion trial for<br />

Waimairi Rd intersection<br />

•From page 1<br />

Jennison said the school<br />

undertook a travel plan with<br />

the city council after concerns<br />

were raised by parents.<br />

“Some of our youngest pupils<br />

walk to and from school. If<br />

they’re coming from homes to<br />

the north of the Grahams Rd/<br />

Waimairi Rd roundabout, they<br />

have to cross at the roundabout<br />

itself as Waimairi Rd’s<br />

northern footpath ends before<br />

Raxworthy St.”<br />

Jennison said nearby<br />

shrubs can reduce visibility<br />

at the roundabout and bad<br />

weather puts drivers under<br />

pressure.<br />

“Young children don’t always<br />

behave predictably and aren’t<br />

able to anticipate the speed<br />

at which drivers travel, so we<br />

sought to identify a solution<br />

that allowed traffic to flow<br />

steadily but also protected our<br />

young people.”<br />

Aside from the speed<br />

cushions, the Waimāero<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

has identified another possible<br />

solution.<br />

City council staff discussed a<br />

trial closure of the left turning<br />

lane from Grahams Rd. But<br />

the board members were not<br />

happy to progress with this<br />

BUSY: Safety improvements will be made at the Waimairi/Grahams Rds<br />

intersection.<br />

option as it could potentially<br />

cause delays for motorists.<br />

Jennison said their<br />

aspirations goal was to<br />

have traffic lights installed at<br />

another local intersection but<br />

said the instalments at the<br />

roundabout are a great start to<br />

making their pupils’ journey to<br />

school safer.<br />

“We appreciate that this<br />

solution might not be every<br />

driver’s preference, but the<br />

parents and staff at our school<br />

who visit the roundabout to<br />

support students’ crossing are<br />

delighted that this action has<br />

been taken.”<br />

Waimairi Ward city<br />

councillor Sam<br />

MacDonald said the<br />

steps to make the<br />

intersection safer,<br />

particularly around the<br />

school, were sensible.<br />

“It is the right thing<br />

to do. I don’t think<br />

people will find this<br />

unreasonable. It makes<br />

it safer for school children and<br />

lets traffic flow.<br />

“If they don’t work, then it<br />

seems sensible to remove the<br />

changes without it costing an<br />

Sam<br />

MacDonald<br />

arm and a leg and look at using<br />

it somewhere else. It is a bit of a<br />

balancing structure.”<br />

The speed cushion<br />

trial is set to last six<br />

months. City council<br />

transport operations<br />

manager Stephen<br />

Wright said the project<br />

will cost $64,858, which<br />

includes the cost of<br />

removing them if the<br />

trial is unsuccessful. Once the<br />

six months are up a report to<br />

the community board will<br />

include additional data and<br />

community feedback.<br />

STUCK IN: More than 100 volunteers helped plant native trees at Engelfield Reserve over<br />

the weekend.<br />

Planting day success<br />

• By Briar Allen<br />

NORTHWOOD has become<br />

greener, with 2000 native trees<br />

planted.<br />

The trees were planted at<br />

Engelfield Reserve on Sunday as<br />

a collaboration between Green<br />

Gear, Trees for Canterbury and<br />

Styx Living Laboratory Trust.<br />

Trees for Canterbury manager<br />

Steve Bush said the event had<br />

a great turn out, with plenty of<br />

people helping.<br />

“The day was awesome, we had<br />

more than 100 people attend the<br />

planting with a great compliment<br />

of volunteers from Treetech<br />

there,” he said.<br />

Bush said the weather was<br />

cold, but the sun was shining and<br />

families got stuck in.<br />

“It was great to see a lot of<br />

families out on the day. The<br />

children not only planted but<br />

gathered all the used plant pots<br />

and crates the trees came in so<br />

that they could all be reused.”<br />

He said they managed to get<br />

1500 of the 2000 trees planted<br />

on the day, with staff from Styx<br />

Living Laboratory Trust heading<br />

back on Monday morning to<br />

plant the last 500.<br />

DO YOU know someone who<br />

gives up their time to help<br />

others, or goes above and<br />

beyond the call of duty?<br />

Each year Christchurch benefits<br />

from the service of volunteers,<br />

with their valuable<br />

contributions recognised<br />

in the annual city council<br />

Civic Awards.<br />

Submissions are open<br />

to nominate local heroes.<br />

City council civic<br />

and international relations<br />

manager Duncan<br />

Sandeman said the Civic<br />

Awards offer a great opportunity<br />

to acknowledge those<br />

in our community who have<br />

gone the extra mile.<br />

“We want to share the stories<br />

of Christchurch residents who<br />

have generously donated their<br />

time and energy to benefit others,”<br />

said Sandeman.<br />

“This is the ideal chance to<br />

put forward those individuals<br />

and groups who have made<br />

Lucy<br />

Alice Gray<br />

such a big difference to so<br />

many others, as well as to the<br />

environment and community<br />

well-being.”<br />

Recipients from the previous<br />

ceremony include the youngest<br />

ever awardee, 15-year-old<br />

climate activist Lucy Alice<br />

Gray.<br />

Lucy learned of climate<br />

change at age 10 and was so<br />

appalled she decided to do<br />

something about it.<br />

Beginning by making<br />

small, everyday changes<br />

such as what she ate and<br />

how she travelled, her passion<br />

grew into contributing<br />

to the development of climate<br />

change curriculum for schools.<br />

“It’s time to thank those selfless<br />

acts through this recognition,”<br />

said Sandeman.<br />

New pyjamas for kids in need<br />

• By Heidi Slade<br />

CHOLMONDELEY<br />

Children’s Centre has received<br />

a donation of more than 200<br />

pairs of brand-new winter<br />

pyjamas and multiple pairs of<br />

slippers, for a second year in<br />

a row.<br />

The Governors Bay charity<br />

has been operating for 98<br />

years and provides temporary<br />

emergency and respite care for<br />

children in need.<br />

Donated by<br />

the Kindness<br />

Collective<br />

Foundation,<br />

the pyjamas<br />

and slippers<br />

“take a<br />

Lisa Hurry<br />

massive<br />

weight off<br />

our overhead<br />

costs,” Cholmondeley practice<br />

manager Lisa Hurry said.<br />

“We are an organisation<br />

that’s 80 per cent funded by<br />

the community.”<br />

Hurry said the donation<br />

was part of a Kindness<br />

Collective initiative, which<br />

runs annually.<br />

The collective is a<br />

nationwide charity that<br />

provides children and their<br />

families with the items they<br />

need, like pyjamas and<br />

slippers.<br />

“Every year they have a<br />

pyjama drive,” Hurry<br />

said.<br />

DONATION: Thanks to the Kindness Collective Foundation, 200 pairs of brand-new<br />

winter pyjamas have been donated to Cholmondeley Children’s Centre. ​<br />

Community groups donate<br />

the pyjamas to the collective,<br />

which then distributes<br />

them.<br />

Over the past three years,<br />

the collective has distributed<br />

more than 25,000 pairs of<br />

warm winter pyjamas to<br />

children in need.<br />

Hurry said a portion of the<br />

pyjamas and slippers would<br />

stay at Cholmondeley for<br />

children when they come for<br />

temporary stays.<br />

The remainder would go<br />

back with children to their<br />

families, for them to keep.<br />

“When children come<br />

and stay with us, we provide<br />

everything they need to stay,”<br />

Hurry said.<br />

“A lot of these children<br />

might not have pyjamas.”<br />

Hurry said Cholmondeley<br />

currently supports about 350<br />

children and their families,<br />

and over 30,000 children<br />

have come through the<br />

centre during its 98 years of<br />

operation.<br />

Thursday <strong>July</strong> 6 <strong>2023</strong><br />

“A lot of people have a<br />

story or a connection to<br />

Cholmondeley,” she said.<br />

“And we can’t do it without<br />

the community.”<br />

The centre thrives off<br />

initiatives like its annual<br />

Giving Day, when donors<br />

match all donations made to<br />

the centre.<br />

This year, the Giving Day<br />

raised more than $50,000<br />

with its donors Christchurch<br />

Casino, United Fisheries and<br />

Oakridge Homes.<br />

HEADING<br />

FOR AN<br />

FUTURE<br />

If you haven’t already been in a<br />

discussion where Artificial Intelligence<br />

and its consequences were part of the<br />

narrative then, I can assure you, it<br />

won’t be long before you will be.<br />

Artificial Intelligence or ‘AI’ (or ‘ChatGPT’,<br />

in its latest, extraordinarily popular,<br />

iteration) put very simply and in layman’s<br />

terms involves the simulation of human<br />

intelligence processes by computer-based<br />

systems.<br />

It’s not a completely new phenomenon,<br />

as many of us already utilize technologies<br />

that allow for this, such as when we access<br />

face recognition on our phones or summon<br />

up the ever helpful and obliging Suri for<br />

Apple or Alexa for Amazon. But the scope<br />

for AI to be used to a much greater level is<br />

enormous.<br />

You see, it can undertake huge numbers of<br />

tasks and processes, including repetitive<br />

ones, with the benefit of never experiencing<br />

fatigue. It can analyze, categorize and<br />

classify millions of data points which, when<br />

applied in different circumstances, can<br />

solve complex problems, thus making daily<br />

lives easier.<br />

But with this ability and prescribed benefit<br />

there’s also a deeper question. If it can do<br />

all these tasks, what does that mean for<br />

the people who are currently doing them<br />

or parts of them? And that’s a big question<br />

being asked in tearooms and boardrooms<br />

everywhere.<br />

I recently received a local building products<br />

information booklet which had as a<br />

headline “Is Artificial Intelligence a threat<br />

to your job?” and it quoted a Goldman<br />

Sachs report from March of this year that<br />

suggested up to 300 million jobs in America<br />

and Europe could be affected in the future.<br />

This suggests a kind of future none of us<br />

would happily envisage.<br />

It didn’t provide a timeline for this to start<br />

happening, but even posing the question<br />

sends shivers down numerous spines,<br />

including my own. The reassuring point the<br />

article did make, however, and additional<br />

research supported, was that “critical<br />

decision-making, creativity, problemsolving,<br />

collaboration and activities that<br />

require human judgment and adaptability<br />

can’t be duplicated.”<br />

The very things that make humanity unique<br />

also remain the most difficult to duplicate<br />

despite the power of millions of algorithms<br />

doing their thing – and we can be grateful<br />

for that. Currently I’m seeing the use of AI<br />

in our own industry in written applications,<br />

where a quick question to ChatGPT is able<br />

to produce smart advertising text, property<br />

summaries and reports that look and sound<br />

both accurate and polished, a far cry from<br />

some of the ones I’ve read over the years.<br />

So that’s a positive whilst I wait to see how<br />

else we will utilize the varying technologies.<br />

A quick Google search suggests the kinds of<br />

occupations that have reason for concern<br />

in the future and given I have colleagues<br />

and friends in such roles I’m choosing not<br />

to highlight them. Safer from AI dominance<br />

are positions like plumbers, painters,<br />

barbers, athletes and anything where<br />

creative thinking, good judgement, cultural<br />

nuance and the ability to read human social<br />

clues is needed.<br />

At the moment I like to think that’s where<br />

other real estate professionals and I are<br />

currently found, but we now know you can<br />

never, ever sit still for too long.<br />

Pies: A Kiwi tradition re-imagined<br />

Wendy Morgan parents<br />

founded the popular<br />

Hillyer’s Bakery in<br />

Lincoln. She tells the<br />

story of the bakery in<br />

her new cookbook, Who<br />

Made All the Pies: The<br />

ultimate collection of<br />

pastry treats for every<br />

Kiwi household – and<br />

shares some of her<br />

family’s favourite recipes<br />

PIE TIME:<br />

Wendy Morgan’s<br />

new cookbook<br />

includes<br />

delicious apricot<br />

and rosemary<br />

pies.<br />

While Morgan includes a<br />

chapter on making different<br />

kinds of pastry for pies, she<br />

does say ready-made pastry is a<br />

good convenient product and if<br />

it means someone gets to make<br />

a pie from the book they would<br />

otherwise be too time poor to do<br />

then “I say go for it”.<br />

Flaky pastry 1<br />

225g butter, room temperature<br />

firm<br />

300g high-grade white flour<br />

Pinch salt<br />

185ml cold water<br />

Directions<br />

Rub 30g of butter into the<br />

flour and salt by hand, or use an<br />

electric mixer.<br />

Add the cold water and bring<br />

together to form a soft dough.<br />

Wrap the dough in cling film<br />

or baking paper and rest in the<br />

fridge for 10 minutes, then roll<br />

out to a 40 x 20cm rectangle.<br />

Break the remaining butter<br />

into small pieces and dot it over<br />

two-thirds of the rectangle. Fold<br />

the plain third of the pastry<br />

over to the centre. Then fold the<br />

buttered third over to make a<br />

square. Give the pastry a quarter<br />

turn on the bench.<br />

Gently roll the pastry out.<br />

Start by pushing down with<br />

the rolling pin. Roll out to 50 x<br />

16cm then repeat the same fold<br />

sequence as before.<br />

Wrap the pastry in cling film<br />

or baking paper and rest in the<br />

fridge for 20 minutes.<br />

Repeat the rolling out and<br />

folding sequence five more times,<br />

resting the pastry in the fridge<br />

each time.<br />

Apricot and rosemary<br />

pies<br />

Makes 12 in a muffin tin<br />

Ingredients<br />

250g dried apricots<br />

½ cup white sugar<br />

2 cups boiling water<br />

3 tsp lemon juice<br />

1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary<br />

1 quantity flaky pastry<br />

1 egg<br />

Demerara sugar<br />

To serve:<br />

Vanilla ice cream<br />

Directions<br />

Put the apricots and sugar into<br />

a glass or stainless-steel bowl<br />

and pour the boiling water over<br />

them. Cover with cling film and<br />

leave overnight.<br />

The next day, preheat the oven<br />

to 170 deg C fan bake.<br />

Pour the apricots and juice<br />

into a ceramic dish, cover with<br />

aluminium foil and bake for 1.5<br />

hours, stirring every half hour.<br />

Add the lemon juice for the last<br />

half hour and the chopped fresh<br />

rosemary for the last 10 minutes.<br />

Leave the mixture to cool.<br />

Turn the oven up to 210 deg C<br />

fan bake.<br />

Cut two-thirds from the<br />

pastry block. On a lightly floured<br />

bench, roll to 3mm thick and,<br />

using a 10cm round cutter, cut 12<br />

rounds. Place these bases into the<br />

muffin tin. Fill each base with 1<br />

tablespoon of apricot mixture:<br />

there should be just enough mix<br />

for the 12 pies. Roll the last third<br />

of pastry out until large enough<br />

to cut twelve 6cm rounds. Place<br />

these on top of the pies.<br />

Whisk the egg and egg-wash<br />

the top of the pies. Cut some<br />

airholes in the pastry with the tip<br />

of a sharp knife. Sprinkle the top<br />

of the pies with demerara sugar.<br />

Bake for 12-15 minutes until<br />

dark golden and puffy. Cool on<br />

a rack if not eating them straight<br />

away. Serve with vanilla ice<br />

cream.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Get the balance<br />

right this winter<br />

Enviro Master has been helping Cantabrians<br />

get the balance right when it comes to<br />

choosing the perfect heat pump or air<br />

conditioning system for their home or office<br />

since 2002.<br />

Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />

electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />

engineers, help to supply and install<br />

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />

and because they have no affiliation with any<br />

one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />

on the benefits and differences between each<br />

product is unbiased.<br />

They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />

and cost-effective system for your<br />

individual situation, and will have you<br />

regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />

no time.<br />

Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />

whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />

even temperatures throughout the home both<br />

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved<br />

by using ducted systems or multi systems<br />

and Enviro Master are experts in designing,<br />

installing and commissioning these systems.<br />

Help is currently available with a<br />

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />

Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />

owner/occupiers with a Community Services<br />

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in<br />

a low-income area as determined by deciles<br />

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />

The applicant’s home must also have been<br />

built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />

(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />

existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />

With new regulations now in place for<br />

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s<br />

time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />

standards.<br />

Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />

lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />

property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />

and an unhealthy living environment.<br />

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />

output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />

area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />

experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />

software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />

requirements.<br />

To ensure you choose the right system<br />

for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />

Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />

individual situation, offer advice and<br />

answer any questions you may have. This<br />

consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />

and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />

installed.<br />

Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />

get in touch for details and help with the<br />

application process. To find out more, call<br />

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit<br />

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz<br />

Keep cosy with<br />

RD Petroleum<br />

this winter<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />

for farm and rural residents around the<br />

Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />

residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />

customer service for which RDP is known for<br />

in rural communities, through their home<br />

heating diesel.<br />

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />

service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />

and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />

Customer demand has continued to increase<br />

year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />

with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />

equipment.<br />

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />

means they have the latest communication<br />

and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />

the operations team always know where they<br />

are and how far away they are from their next<br />

delivery stop.<br />

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />

equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />

through which the diesel is pumped from<br />

the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />

without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />

you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />

become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

For all enquiries please phone<br />

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at<br />

Skoda’s Scoutline a stylish addition<br />

SKODA HAS created a Scoutline<br />

version of the Kamiq, its smallest<br />

SUV, to help raise the profile<br />

and sales of a model that’s flown<br />

under the radar of buyers since<br />

debuting here three years ago.<br />

The Scoutline adds more visual<br />

punch to the bland-looking<br />

Kamiq compact urban SUV. It<br />

does this with matte black wheel<br />

arch liners, silver bodywork elements,<br />

17-inch alloy wheels and<br />

full-LED taillights.<br />

Firing the opening and fairly<br />

pricey salvo in the two-model<br />

Kamiq catalogue is the $39,990<br />

Scoutline being reviewed here.<br />

Filling the closing chapter is the<br />

flagship $48,990 Monte Carlo<br />

version.<br />

Powering the Scoutline is a 1.0<br />

litre turbo petrol. Exclusive to<br />

the Monte Carlo is a nippy and<br />

eager to please 110kw 1.5 litre<br />

turbo petrol engine.<br />

Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />

The spirited 85kw threecylinder<br />

turbo-charged motor is<br />

a little belter, and its distinctive<br />

three-cylinder throb music to<br />

the ears to anyone who appreciates<br />

cool sounding engines. A<br />

favourable power-to-weight ratio<br />

added a keener edge to the test<br />

vehicle’s acceleration.<br />

For a smallish SUV, this one’s<br />

easy and effortless to drive at<br />

open road speeds. A smart<br />

7-speed tiptronic auto utilises<br />

two clutches to consistently deliver<br />

swift decisive gear changes.<br />

A cabin that’s as spacious as<br />

you’ll find in the compact urban<br />

SUV market segment is a real<br />

bonus, along with an elevated<br />

driving position offering excellent<br />

all round visibility. Rear<br />

room legroom is better than a<br />

vehicle of this size has a right to<br />

be. A generously proportioned<br />

400-litre boot is extendible that<br />

can almost be trebled in size<br />

with the 60:40 split rear seat<br />

backrests folded down.<br />

The white, red and orange<br />

LED ambient lighting puts on a<br />

cool colour show, illuminating<br />

the centre console, door storage<br />

compartments, door handles<br />

and foot well. LED reading lights<br />

are standard and you can opt<br />

for a black roof lining. Staying<br />

in touch is well sorted with<br />

built-in SmartLink technology<br />

for connecting devices via Apple<br />

CarPlay, Android Auto or Mirror<br />

Link.<br />

Simply Clever is Skoda’s<br />

marketing is battle cry. In this<br />

vehicle there is plenty of evidence<br />

of that. The umbrella compartment<br />

(including umbrella) is in<br />

the driver’s door, and there’s an<br />

ice scraper in the fuel filler flap.<br />

This is more pure genius than<br />

simply clever.<br />

The test vehicle was laden with<br />

safety features. Among the more<br />

innovative are Lane Assist, City<br />

Emergency Brake, Driver Fatigue<br />

Alert, and Cruise Control. Using<br />

a camera, Lane Assist recognises<br />

road markings and helps the<br />

driver to keep to their traffic<br />

lane.<br />

The Kamiq rides confidently,<br />

offering the benefits of an SUV<br />

with the agile driving characteristics<br />

of a compact car. It shares<br />

the same platform as the Skoda<br />

Scala hatch. There are important<br />

points of difference between this<br />

pair. The Scoutline, for instance,<br />

has longer springs and shock<br />

absorbers, a stiffer stabiliser for<br />

the front axle and a reinforced<br />

rear axle.<br />

Spring and damper rates are<br />

tuned to soak up even the worst<br />
