ROADING
Rural road safety to be tackled ■ BY MARIANNE KELLY
A
high accident rate on south-eastern rural roads has prompted Auckland Transport (AT) to allocate $6 million to improve them over time. The project, called SelfExplaining Rural Roads (SERR) covers about 130 kilometres of roads, mainly in the Whitford, Maraetai and Clevedon areas. AT says the area was chosen as it has some of the highest rural road risks in the Auckland region. Between 2012 and 2016 there were six fatal, 44 serious and 198 minor injury crashes. Many of the measures to be taken are in the final design stage, an AT spokesperson says. It’s anticipated that improvements will be introduced in the next financial year, subject to funding. Before the work starts AT will talk to local stakeholders about the exact details of each project. The measures include rationalising existing signage and improving destination signs and those on curves. Road markings will be
improved, including the introduction of a wide centre line where feasible. Gateway treatments at approaches to villages will be made consistent and safety barriers will be installed at a few locations. Shape corrections will be introduced on Brookby and North Roads and safe cycle bays will also be installed on North Road. AT says the SERR approach concentrates on three key principles – functionality, homogeneity and predictability. Functionality requires the creation of a few well-defined road categories and ensuring that the road design matches its intended function, while promoting appropriate road user behaviour and reducing error. Homogeneity involves road designs that promote equilibrium and vehicle speed, direction and mass equality. While this can be a challenge on rural roads, AT says speed variability is a significant factor in fatality rates on rural roads. Predictability involves keeping the road design and layout as uniform as possible.

of road naming. As one board member kindly pointed out, “this isn’t gonna change the world”. And while 23-yearold me couldn’t agree more with that sentiment, let’s be real. Neither will avocados, but they’re filling headlines more often than not these days, so I’ve decided we’re going to talk about this too. If you’ve ever sat through one of these discussions, you’ll know it’s an arduous, emotional experience, filled to the brim with reality checks, hadto-be-there moments, and reasoning of the highest standard. So to finish this remarkably insignificant rant, I’d like to share with you the foundational life lessons that have formed my new campaign ‘Get Better Road Names’, straight from the quotes reel of May 15, 2017. “I like it better.” Feelings trump facts. “I think it should be a way – because of the way it splits up.” Personality trumps looks. Collective drumroll, please, for my personal favourite: Vague trumps specific. “Is a way a way to something?” Now that’s a question I’d like answers to.
’ve often wondered about road names. More specifically, I’ve often wondered how to get my name on a road name, and the magnificent depth of significance my life would hold thereafter. If that’s a milestone you’ve never considered achieving, you’ll probably need to take a moment to excuse my unreserved selfishness on the matter, because I’m not sorry. If there was a career to be made out of road naming, I’d have quit the journalism business long ago. And I wish I could tell you today I still hold out some kind of hope for that dream, but at the ripe old age of 19, I threw away any notion of ticking that one off the bucket list. That was until May 15. It was a normal Monday. I turned up to work, interviewed, wrote, and drank more than my fair share of coffee. But later that evening, as I sat in the Howick Local Board meeting surrounded by our elected councillors and community leaders, I was forced to re-consider my naive presumptions regarding the immense significance insignificance

Water clean-up plans accelerating T
hree years after an action plan was formulated to clean up the seriously-polluted Otara Lake, the Howick Local Board (HLB) is considering its financial assistance for projects to clean up the extensive network of Howick Ward catchment streams which flow into the lake. In July 2014, then Minister for the Environment, Amy Adams, attended the launch of a major project to restore The Times reported her saying real change did not come from Wellington but from collaboration by communities buying in and taking responsibility. The battle to clean up the lake was described by then chairman of the Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board, Efeso Collins, as being bigger than the epic historical drama Ben Hur. A group of more than 20 organisations and individuals, including Otara/Papatoetoe and HLB representatives agreed on an action plan and established a steering plan group. The Otara Lake and Waterways Trust was formed in March last year and Richard Myhre, who chairs it, says businesses and residents in the area should be aware that they have a potential recreational lake in their midst, almost the size of the Panmure Basin. The lake was formed in 1968 when the Electricity Commission built a weir across the mouth of the Otara Creek system – feeding into the Tamaki River – for cooling ponds for a new power station. But the
Just

weir effectively closed off the creeks from the natural flushing provided for centuries by the Tamaki. The lake’s urban catchment extends well beyond the Otara/ Papatoetoe Local Board boundary and deep into the Howick Ward. An extensive network of waterways running from the Redoubt Road ridge through new residential development in East Tamaki Heights and Flat Bush and the East Tamaki industrial area deposits lead, zinc, urban litter and sediment not into the Pakuranga but the Otara Creek at Highbrook Bridge. While industrial pollution is not the issue it used to be because of compliance requirements, Mr Myhre says the major cause is ongoing residential development in the eastern Howick Ward areas of Flat Bush/Ormiston. Inevitably, he says, polluted water from the Otara Lake and other streams flows into the Tamaki River, as far down as Bucklands Beach. Auckland Council’s ‘freshwater report card’ for the HLB rates the quality of Howick’s fresh waterways as a dismal F, while it gets an E for flow patterns, nutrient recycling, habitat quality and biodiversity – one of the worst in the Super City. So far the Otara/Papatoetoe Local Board has provided a seed grant of $100,000 to the trust which is funding a part-time co-ordinator/ administrator to apply for outside funding and co-ordinate a variety of riparian planting and clean–up programmes in that ward. Mr Myhre is frustrated that the HLB’s elected member attitude has been that “it’s nothing to do

with us”. So far no funds have been forthcoming. Last February the trust presented its initiatives to the HLB. Listening closely was Mike Turinsky, at that stage the unsworn newly-elected member of the board. He says that the presentation “stuck with me” and he requested to be the HLB’s lead representative on the trust. He attended his first trust panel meeting on March 22 where, he says, he committed to attend the meetings to learn, listen and then consult with the HLB members about potential ways forward. At a March 30 local board
workshop it was decided to consider increasing the works programme budget by $36,000 to fund three proposed options, including support for the Otara Lake and Waterways project. A decision will be made at next month’s (June) board meeting. Mr Turinsky reported back to the trust panel in early April and says: “I will continue to be present, to listen, to learn, and then communicate those learnings to the rest of the HLB.” Meantime the trust is encouraging businesses and organisations in the Howick Ward,

which includes the East Tamaki industrial area, to adopt parts of nearby streams and clean up the growth of exotic (many noxious) weeds and extensive illegal dumping along the steep banks of the creeks feeding into the Otara Lake. While Auckland Council is responsible for the riparian areas of the Super City’s streams’ uncontrolled growth, Mr Myhre says “the areas are obscured and no-one has second thoughts about them. There is nothing to deter people dumping rubbish”. Cleaning up the Otara Lake, he says, is a long-term and expensive project. So the organisations associated with the trust are concentrating on the short and medium term of what they can do now and in the near future to clean up the catchment streams. “Unfortunately it’s going to take an entire generation to correct what has happened over the last several generations, so we don’t have a minute to lose. The good news is that it can be fixed.”

but we were robbed of the opportunity. “We get our seal at the end of the three years but they have not taken into account there are two new subdivisions being developed and fed by Moyrus Crescent – a good 80 sections and all that traffic will use Kilkenny. They have not taken new volumes of traffic into consideration.” Kilkenny Drive is also a catchment for Point View and Willowbank primary schools, Somerville Intermediate and Botany Downs College, as well as Dannemora kindergarten. With the noise and chips flying about, pre-schoolers are afraid to go outside to play, they say. In response to Times questions an AT spokesperson says until chip seal has ‘bedded down’ there will be stones and increased noise. “Kilkenny Drive has been inspected and the finish is within standard. Chip seal was used because it is the most cost effective solution and maximises the benefit of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) subsidy,” he says. “Chip seal costs approximately $7 per square metre, asphalt costs approximately $30 per square
metre to mill and replace the existing surface. “New Zealand has more than 92,000 kilometres of roads in its network of which about 60,000 kilometres are surfaced with chip seal.” Chip seal, he says, was used because Kilkenny Drive falls within the recognised guidelines for a road that should be resealed with chip seal, having less than 10,000 vehicles a day using it. “At this time it is still some way off with 7000-8000 being the current number using it. The 10,000 vehicles a day is a number set by Auckland Transport in consultation with NZTA. This is lower than the former Manukau City Council’s standard of 15,000 vehicles per day.” The spokesperson adds that other roads in the Howick Ward of similar volumes and with chip seal are Macleans and Pigeon Mountain roads. The residents have written again to Mr Warburton, also to Mayor Phil Goff and the people who attended last Friday’s meeting, asking AT to address the issues raised at their meeting and those raised in their earlier petition letter.

esidents who believe their long street is turning into an arterial road are locked in a battle with Auckland Transport (AT) to get the road resurfacing rules waived. When resealing of Kilkenny Drive in Botany started at the end of March, householders initially didn’t react when chip seal was laid. They erroneously assumed this was a base cover and that the job would be finished with smooth asphalt, as was the case in nearby stretches. To their horror, they found out that the messy chip seal was the final product. They are upset that loose stones and gravel are strewn over footpaths and onto private properties, traffic noise has increased significantly and the road is no longer safe for children and elderly people. Even AT was taken aback when 90-year-old Colin Stonex was rushed to hospital having sustained injury to his face, hands and knees after falling on the road, and promised to offer any assistance they could in his recovery. A group of residents presented a petition signed by all 205 people who live along the new stretch of seal to the Howick Local Board’s May 15 meeting, also sending it to AT chief executive David Warburton. HLB elected member Mike Turinsky attended a meeting in Kilkenny Drive the following Friday (May 19), along with 14 residents, two AT representatives, one person representing the contractor Fulton Hogan, and Labour candidate Tofik Mamedov. Meeting organiser Tweety Tang says the residents were hoping AT would agree to fix the road. “But we felt the AT representatives were trying to give us the stats only, such as how much it costs per square metre if they use asphalt compared with chip seal. “We are saying the seal is not appropriate for urban development but they didn’t address the issues.” Road resealing is part of AT’s three-year plan and includes a rule that 10,000 vehicles must pass along a road every day before it qualifies for an asphalt cover. But the residents argue that Kilkenny Drive is used as a bypass from Chapel Road and Te Irirangi Drive, a shortcut to avoid traffic lights. At peak times, for example from 7.15am-8.15am, Mrs Tang says she has counted 750 cars passing through. “Parents have to get their kids to school so there is a two hour busy slot at the start and end of the working day.” The residents have estimated that a total 8500 cars drive along the street every day which makes it a second arterial road, they argue. AT’s count, they say, is 7000-8000 a day. Another resident, Di Silke says AT sets out its plan and budgets three years ahead. “If we had known earlier that the job was going to be chip seal we would have said something,

n efficient ventilation system is essential to keep the house dry and warm, especially in the colder months. Everyday activities like cooking, showering and drying clothes create moisture which is absorbed by wall coverings, drapes and carpets. Humidity not only damages the furniture, it also feeds mould and mildew, which can cause asthma and other allergies. The revolutionary Unovent® home ventilation system is costefficient and simple to install (DIY) with individual ductless outlets, each with its own fan and washable filter. The system pulls dry air from the roof cavity into the home living spaces, reducing moisture and window condensation. The outlets are connected in series to a simple low voltage power supply using lightweight cabling. The Unobrain controller switches ventilation on and off, depending on the air temperature and moisture. Unovent® outlets can be attached to the roof cavity or through the wall in the new h-line product range to draw air in directly from outside. For holiday houses, the new add-on Unosola keeps the Unovent® system running through solar power when nobody’s home and the mains power is switched off, keeping the musty smell and mould away, so the bach is ready for the family to use at any time.

Suzuki Ignis shines in 2017 World Urban Car awards The new Suzuki Ignis compact crossover has won accolades from an independent international panel of motoring experts. Latest in the range of new Suzuki models, the five door Ignis has finished a close runnerup in the 2017 World Urban Car awards, beaten only by the more expensive BMW i3. Held in conjunction with the 13th annual World Car Awards, the Urban Car category was instigated for the first time this year. To qualify, vehicles had to be less than four metres long and suitable in design for daily use in an urban environment. Mike Rutherford, the World Car vicechairman, said, “It’s an award whose time has come. Everyday cars in many - perhaps most - parts of the world will have to become smaller if road and parking space is to be
Introducing the new Peugeot 2008 SUV found for them in increasingly packed towns and cities where populations are swelling annually. “ The international jury comprised 73 top-level automotive journalists from 23 countries. Rutherford said Suzuki had seen off many rival motor manufacturers to become a World Car finalist, with both the Ignis and Baleno voted into the top five urban cars. “The astonishing success of the Ignis is all the more remarkable in view of the car’s low price tag,” said Gary Collins, General Manager of Marketing for Suzuki New Zealand. “Ignis proves the point a world class car can be very affordable.” New Zealand buyers have responded enthusiastically to the arrival of the stylish Ignis in February, with sales already 60 percent ahead of expectations. The design is winning praise for its spacious and distinctive cabin, excellent visibility, elevated seating, high level of equipment and ample luggage space, in spite of the compact dimensions. Buyers have also warmed to the availability of customisation, including interior trim colour accents and exterior highlights. Two versions of the Ignis are available in New Zealand, with the option of manual or automatic transmissions. Prices start from a recommended $18,990 plus on-road costs.
Southern Autos Manukau is proud to introduce the new Peugeot 2008 SUV. Encompassing emphatic style with a sporty look, and complemented with vibrant new paint finishes and innovative technology, this is an SUV built with strength and character. Enjoy life to the fullest in the Peugeot 2008 mini SUV. A vehicle with an identifiable, strong and elegant design. Our new urban crossover is both compact and spacious, making adventures with family and friends as accessible as your daily commute. Experience new driving sensations in the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®. The compact sports steering wheel offers precise steering and improved manoeuvrability whilst the 7” multifunction colour touch screen puts all the functionality at your fingertips. The heads up instrument panel provides all the driver information and can be viewed without taking your eyes off the road. It all adds up to an intuitive and instinctive driving experience. Designed to produce drivability and performance, the Award Winning PureTech 3-cylinder petrol engine powering the new Peugeot 2008 SUV combines efficiency with cutting-edge technology resulting in greater driving pleasure with lower running costs. New 2008 SUV also features
the 6-speed efficient automatic gearbox which uses quickshift technology, allowing for faster gear changes, and is the new benchmark for driving enjoyment. Spacious and practical, the boot has a low loading height of 60cm and the 1/3-2/3 modular rear seats allow you to convert the boot volume from 410 litres to 1400 litres. Roof bars accentuate the sleek profile of the 2008 Crossover and open up a wealth of storage and carrying options for you. They give you the option of fitting a bicycle or ski carrier onto the roof.

he shock is still sinking in for a Botany Downs Secondary College teacher who is about to jet off to the United States as the recipient of a sought-after teaching grant. History teacher Karen Douglas has been offered a Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching grant which will allow her to travel to the States to carry out a learning inquiry. Ms Douglas will be looking into how digital and collaborative learning can be used to improve student literacy – an interest sparked by attending a Mind Lab course last year. Ms Douglas said she had been looking at the application process for a Fulbright Award for a couple of years but dismissed it as “too difficult” until she decided to give it a go last year. After completing the “very, very detailed” application, Ms Douglas was pleased just to get an interview. “They ask for your teaching background, then you have to choose an inquiry, what you’re intending to do for that inquiry when you’re in the States and why that would be the best place to go. “It asks you what you know

Cold weather and icy conditions can make winter driving difficult. That is why it is so important to properly prepare your vehicle in anticipation of freezing temperatures. Here are 10 steps to follow so that your car is ready for the challenges of winter.
1
Change your tyres. Winter tyres provide better traction on ice and the rubber is more effective in cold weather. Be sure to have them put on as soon as the weather starts getting colder — don’t wait for the first frost to do it.
3
Add antifreeze. The fluid in your radiator should contain 50 percent water and 50 percent antifreeze. Use a test kit to ensure that this is the case or check with your mechanic.
4
Check your wipers. Ensure that your wiper blades are in good condition and are not scratching the windshield. Fill up your windshield washer fluid reservoir and remember to keep an extra jug in the car; it will come in handy for long road trips.
5
Check the heating system. Ensure that the heater and rear window defroster are both operating properly in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
2
Change the oil. Make sure the engine oil you use is suitable for winter use. If it isn’t, change the oil before the weather gets too cold in order to avoid damaging the engine.

Inspect your battery. Ensure that the terminals and battery cables are clean and free of corrosion.
Prepare a survival kit to keep in your car in case of breakdown or accident. It should contain a first-aid kit, blanket, warm clothes, food, scissors, flashlight, shovel, and booster cables. This kit could save your life.

8
Preparing your car for winter is not enough. You also need to think about adapting your driving to winter conditions and bad weather.
9
Stay further back from the vehicle ahead of you and brake earlier when stopping. Slow down more carefully before turning.
Check the lighting system. Check to ensure that both front and rear lights, as well as turn signals, are working properly. Replace them if necessary. Have your car inspected. Ask a mechanic to check your car’s brakes, spark plugs, suspension, and steering.

oodman Property Trust (GMT), the stock exchange-listed company which owns Highbrook Business Park, has reported its 2017 annual result, recording a net profit after tax (npat) of $213.8 million. The result is 8.3 per cent lower than the npat of $233m at the same time last year due to a strong but reduced property revaluation the previous year. Although GMT recorded a strong portfolio revaluation of $114.7m, it was less that the record revaluation gain of $145.8m last year. Chief executive officer John Dakin said that with operating earnings up $4.7m to $121.7m, it’s a strong result for the real estate investment trust company. “A positive portfolio revaluation of $114.7m was less than the record $145.8m achieved last year meaning (pretax) profit was lower but still a substantial $220.5m, the second highest profit reported by the trust,” Mr Dakin said. Chairman and independent director Keith Smith, said the progression of the development programme, significant asset sales and selective acquisitions are all having a positive impact on GMT, lifting the quality of the portfolio and adding to its

financial strength.” GMT has $2.4 billion of industrial park, business park and office properties located mostly in Auckland. Its main asset is the Highbrook Business Park where it has a substantial land holding for future development. They said the benefits of a high quality property portfolio and an investment strategy focused on the Auckland industrial market continues delivering impressive financial results for Goodman Property Trust. “With more than $535m of new projects completed since 2012, GMT’s development programme is transforming the portfolio and delivering essential business infrastructure into a growing city,” said Mr Dakin.
The increasing capital allocation to the Auckland industrial sector, currently 77 per cent of GMT’s $2.4b property portfolio, is a deliberate strategy that reflects the strong growth profile of the city and the positive investment characteristics of modern industrial property. It also positions GMT to benefit from the increasing demand for logistics space as a result of e-commerce. “GMT has continued to take advantage of the buoyant investment market with asset sales of $278.8m during the year,” he said. “Strong investor demand has also contributed to a portfolio revaluation of more than 5 per cent, or $114.7m.

It is always challenging mentally sharing your drive with another racer, but Aaron is a consistent driver and I know we can work well together, so he will do the job we need and hopefully we can get some results.With two test days under their belts leading up to this weekend, he said they are well-prepared.
Pakuranga United Rugby Club’s (PURC) premiers will regroup this week after going down to Grammar TEC 32-15 on Saturday. Prems coach Pita Alatini said he was disappointed with the outing. “Orakei Domain has never been a happy place for us and unfortunately Saturday was no different,” Alatini said. “Again, we created enough opportunities to score tries but our handling skills let us down “We will regroup (at training this week) and look to put a strong performance against Waitakare this coming weekend.”
“After finding a few things in our last test day, I am hoping we can translate that into some positive advances this weekend,” Heimgartner said. “As far as the championship goes there is a bit of pressure, but it isn’t anything you can stress about this early in the year. “There is a long way to go and after such a long gap since our last race (at the Australian Grand Prix in March) I just want to get on with racing.” The Phillip Island Porsche

Centres ignite Hurricanes E
xplosive Hurricanes centres Ngani Laumape and Vince Aso are setting the 2017 Super Rugby championship alight with their try-scoring feats and making a bold bid for places in the All Blacks squad to play the British and Irish Lions. The dynamic midfield pairing are far surpassing the combined seasonal tryscoring feats of Ma’a Nonu and Conrad Smith, the two stars they have replaced in the capital’s franchise. In fact, no midfield pairing is within cooee of them. In scoring a hat-trick in the Hurricanes’ latest 61-7 blitz of the Cheetahs, former Aucklander Aso beat Tana Umaga’s old season tryscoring record by stretching it to 13. Not far behind on 11 is powerful second five-eighth Laumape. Third equal are Reiko Ioane (Blues) and Eti Nabuli (Reds) on eight, one ahead of James Lowe (Chiefs) and the Crusaders George Bridge and David Havili.
Before the season started most pundits favoured the All Blacks maintaining the status quo midfield pairing of Ryan Crotty and Anton Lienert-Brown with Sonny Bill Williams and Malakai Fekitoa their closest contenders. But the Hurricane pair’s form, especially on attack, demands the selectors’ attention. Both have a nice balance of power and speed and are developing a sweet combination despite relatively little time together. Lienert Brown was the find of 2016, coupling great offloads with strong defence. Unfortunately he has failed to penetrate this season. Great Blues hope Williams had a long break since suffering a bad Achilles injury at the Rio Olympics sevens and still looks rusty. However, Highlander Fekitoa is returning to his best with six Super tries, the same as All Black wings Waisake Naholo and Julian Savea, but he still hasn’t

been as sharp as the Hurricanes pair. If selectors Steve Hansen, Ian Foster and Grant Fox are going to go with form, Laumape and Aso deserve to be rated with the heady Crotty in the top three. Williams, who has a strong advocate in Graham Henry, still has a few more games to stake his claim but will need to strike hot form to justify confidence. It will be a tough choice for three wise men who have a history of staying true to old faithfuls who have delivered for them, even when their Super Rugby form has failed to produce the goods. It has been a case of playing like Clarke Kent for their franchise and Superman for their country. Meanwhile match fitness could be a problem for three world-beaters in No 8 skipper Kieran Read, hooker Dane Coles and fullback Ben Smith who have had long injury spells. The same applies to wings Israel Dagg and

Meanwhile, let me assure readers that contrary to popular opinion, the camera does lie. How else could I mistakenly claim orthodox heavyweight boxers Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko fought as southpaws in their recent world title bout in London? Maybe the YouTube screening was done with mirrors. That was what it looked like when viewing the knockdown fifth, sixth and 11th knockdown rounds before Joshua’s right lowered the boom. Or was it his left? Ivan Agnew is an award-winning sports writer and author
