  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand
    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

  • Lyall Bay Coastal Remediation D
    Coasts & Ports 2017 Conference – Cairns, 21-23 June 2017 Lyall Bay Coastal Remediation D. Phillips, S. Mead and M. Emeny Lyall Bay Coastal Remediation D. Phillips1 and S. Mead2 and M. Emeny3 1Unitec, Auckland, NEW ZEALAND 2 eCoast, Raglan, NEW ZEALAND 3 Wellington City Council, Wellington, NEW ZEALAND. [email protected] Abstract An investigation has been undertaken at Lyall Bay in Wellington to propose options with regard to protecting the natural and built coastal infrastructure and reinstating a functional dune. Lyall Bay is an important recreational asset for Wellington as it is popular with the community for many activities both in the water and on the beach, as well as scenic drives, visiting cafes, and plane watching with the nearby airport. The project has specifically included investigating options for 1) dune restoration to maximize their effectiveness in absorbing wave energy and protecting natural and built infrastructure 2) protect the rocky shoreline, grassed area and trees on the western side of the bay 3) the shifting of sand around the bay and dealing with current infrastructure within the beach environment. Lyall Bay is a highly modified beach environment that has been developed since early last century, leading to a number of constraints and changes when coastal processes are considered. The dune field has been replaced with people/houses/buildings; the bay has been contained within walls, roads and parking; stormwater discharges into the bay through 20 different outfalls; the eastern third of the bay has been reclaimed for the airport, and a further 350m of reclamation is proposed in the near future.

  • Maori History of Ohariu1 and Maori Sites of Significance
    MAORI HISTORY OF OHARIU 1 AND MAORI SITES OF SIGNIFICANCE AND THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND SEA LEVEL RISE 1. The West Coast of Wellington has a rich Maori history with significant changes over time and the greatest of these were during the early and mid-19th Century including the arrival of the New Zealand Company settlers and the Colonial Government. 2. From the sites of the earliest Maori of the Kahui Maunga or Kahui Tipua who roamed large areas to the forbears of Ngai Tara, Ngati Ira, Muaupoko and Rangitane generally referred to as Whatonga people to the Te Atiawa –Ngati Tama and Taranaki whanui who came with Ngati Toa in the early 19 Century. 3. With sea level rise and climate change events such as storm surges and the like some of the old coastal sites will be destroyed and burials for example exposed. Some will simply be covered by rising fresh or sea water. It is unlikely that there would be any strategy to try to preserve these sites on Wellington West Coast but instead recording these particularly where things are exposed that might not have previously been recorded. 4. It is important to be aware of the existing sites which might otherwise be occupied by communities wanting to retreat from climate change effects. 5. Te Atiawa-Taranaki Whanui and other Mana Whenua groups have broad kaitiaki roles, not just with the protection of Maori sites of significance, but also with the broader environment matters including in relation to flora and fauna and habitat. 6.

  • Basin Reserve Trust Statement of Service Performance 2019/20
    Basin Reserve Trust Statement of Service Performance 2019/20 2 Introduction The iconic Basin Reserve has a rich history. The first game of cricket was played at the Basin on 11 January 1868, making it is the oldest cricket ground in New Zealand. The ground not only hosts cricket games, but sporting fixtures of every variety. It has hosted national events and competitions including VE Day celebrations, Royal Tours, exhibitions, Scout jamborees, concerts and festivals. In 1998, the Basin Reserve was listed as a Heritage Area, becoming the first sports ground to receive such a designation and further enhancing its heritage significance. The Basin is also home to the William Wakefield Memorial that was erected in 1882 and commemorates one of Wellington’s founders, William Wakefield. The Basin Reserve plays a role in assisting Wellington City Council to achieve the recreation and leisure participation aims signalled in the 2018-28 Ten Year Plan and the “Living WELL” Wellington Sport & Active Recreation Strategy. The redevelopment will reposition the Basin as New Zealand’s premier cricket venue and help attract national and international events to Wellington. The day to day management of the Basin Reserve is undertaken by Cricket Wellington under a management agreement with the Basin Reserve Trust (BRT). This Statement of Service Performance highlights the achievements of the Trust for the period July 2019 to June 2020. Objectives The objectives of the trust are stated in the Trust Deed as agreed between the Wellington City Council and the BRT and are highlighted below: 1. to manage, administer, plan, develop, maintain, promote and operate the Basin Reserve for recreation and leisure activities and for the playing of cricket for the benefit of the inhabitants of Wellington 2.
