    Pdf Appendix 2.6O Tuakau Structure Built Heritage Assessment Part 2

    Assessment of Effects Strengths Tuakau and the surrounding district have an interesting and diverse history, which connects with national stories, such as those of the 1860s Waikato War and the development of the railways. The history of the area also reflects the contributions made by individuals and families who helped to develop the district through their farming, light industrial, civic, religious and social activities. The Tuakau and Districts Museum is a community asset that can provide a focus for ongoing heritage research, identification and promotion activities. The Waikato District Heritage Strategy identifies the value of historic heritage resources to the community and provides a framework for a coherent and comprehensive approach to the identification, protection and management of these resources. Weaknesses There is currently very limited protection for built heritage resources provided for in the Waikato District Plan (Franklin Section). Rules pertaining to scheduled heritage items are not immediately accessible within either of the District Plans that Waikato Council presently has responsibility for. Opportunities In addition to acknowledging the history of the town and its hinterland, the Structure Plan provides the opportunity, by means of the public notification, hearing and implementation process, to raise the profile of Tuakau’s heritage values. Urban design strategies developed for the Structure Plan area can take account of Tuakau’s historical genesis and consider planning, design and planting actions that acknowledge the history of the area. Threats Loss of built heritage items may result from intensification should a future planning framework fail to provide for the protection of listed items and their surroundings. Extensive residential development could erode the separate identities of Tuakau and Harrisville, whose boundaries are already confused somewhat by the ‘Welcome to Tuakau’ sign that greets motorists as they approach the Harrisville School from the north.

  • New Zealand's Food Story the Pukekohe Hub Prepared For

    New Zealand's Food Story the Pukekohe Hub Prepared For

    Paerata Patumahoe Mauku Pukekohe Puni Pokeno Tuakau Aka Aka Te ohanga newhero Pukekawa New Zealand’s Food Story The Pukekohe Hub Prepared for Horticulture New Zealand August 2018 Foreword Horticulture is one of the success stories of New Zealand’s primary industries. In 2017, the industry generated $5.68 billion in value. Export revenue has grown nearly 50% in five years, illustrating the trust the world places in New Zealand-grown food, and the country’s ability to meet that demand. But the industry cannot rest. New Zealand faces opportunities with a growing population and the need to grow fresh produce. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Auckland, and its surrounding rural land. The population is set to rise to 2.3 million by 2043, straining natural resources and infrastructure. And growers are feeling that pressure. The Pukekohe growing hub straddles the Auckland and Waikato District boundaries, and it is key to sustaining the fresh food supply to the country’s largest city. The squeeze on prime growing land in the Pukekohe hub, access to water, and the tensions between the existing industry and new neighbourhoods all mean a more considered and concerted approach to planning is needed. It is the right time to start the conversation about New Zealand’s sustainable food supply with a focus on a growing area experiencing change. Our economic analysis suggests that, over the next 25 years, the Pukekohe hub could face constrained horticulture production. If left unchecked, less production could result in lost economic value, higher prices for customers, and job losses for the industry itself and the sectors it supports.

  • Historic Overview - Pokeno & District

    Historic Overview - Pokeno & District

    WDC District Plan Review – Built Heritage Assessment Historic Overview - Pokeno & District Pokeno The fertile valley floor in the vicinity of Pokeno has most likely been occupied by Maori since the earliest days of their settlement of Aotearoa. Pokeno is geographically close to the Tamaki isthmus, the lower Waikato River and the Hauraki Plains, all areas densely occupied by Maori in pre-European times. Traditionally, iwi of Waikato have claimed ownership of the area. Prior to and following 1840, that iwi was Ngati Tamaoho, including the hapu of Te Akitai and Te Uri-a-Tapa. The town’s name derives from the Maori village of Pokino located north of the present town centre, which ceased to exist on the eve of General Cameron’s invasion of the Waikato in July 1863. In the early 1820s the area was repeatedly swept by Nga Puhi war parties under Hongi Hika, the first of several forces to move through the area during the inter-tribal wars of the 1820s and 1830s. It is likely that the hapu of Pokeno joined Ngati Tamaoho war parties that travelled north to attack Nga Puhi and other tribes.1 In 1822 Hongi Hika and a force of around 3000 warriors, many armed with muskets, made an epic journey south from the Bay of Islands into the Waikato. The journey involved the portage of large war waka across the Tamaki isthmus and between the Waiuku River and the headwaters of the Awaroa and hence into the Waikato River west of Pokeno. It is likely warriors from the Pokeno area were among Waikato people who felled large trees across the Awaroa River to slow Hika’s progress.
