Report on Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean South of Kaikoura Report on altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean south of Kaikoura MAP 1 Source: MapToaster™ NZTopo250 sheets 18 and 19 Crown Copyright Reserved SUMMARY • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (TRoK) is seeking to alter the recorded name, Waiau River, to Waiau Uwha, without the generic term ‘River’. • TRoK’s tradition is that ‘Waiau Uwha, the female river, coupled with Waiau Toa [Clarence River], the male river, drifted away from each other. Waiau Uwha laments this separation and her tears swell the waters when melted snow enters the river’. • TRoK has also made a proposal to alter Clarence River to Waiau Toa. • The river flows generally south and then east for approximately 160 km from its source below Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to its mouth at the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 50 km southwest of Kaikoura. • TRoK has provided evidence of the river being named ‘Waiauuwha’, ‘Waiau-uha’ and ‘Waiau uha’. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori has confirmed that the orthography ‘Waiau Uwha’ is correct, and advised that ‘ua’ can be a contraction of ‘uha’, which is a variant form of ‘uwha’. • Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha River (or Waiau Uwha without the generic term) would recognise the historical significance of the name, 1 Land Information New Zealand 20 April 2016 Page 1 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 and support TRoK’s desire to have the meaning and story behind the name live on. It would also meet the NZGB’s statutory function to collect and encourage the use of original Māori names on official charts and maps. However, the NZGB should also consider whether the long term use of Waiau River outweighs TRoK’s desire to have the original Māori name restored without the generic term ‘River’. • For approximately 40 km the middle stretch of the river flows along side of State Highway 7 (Lewis Pass), and it also passes through a significant number of recreational areas (including Lake Sumner Forest Park) where there has been loss of life over the years. The NZGB should consider whether retaining the English generic term ‘River’ would help emergency services to identify and locate the feature. • There is little difference in the pronunciation of Waiau River and Wairau River, whose source is approximately 10 km east of the head of Waiau River. Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha or to Waiau Uwha River may avoid confusion with Wairau River for emergency services and recreational users. • The proposer has provided evidence that Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu supports the proposal; however, the proposer has not provided evidence of consultation with interested groups. If the NZGB accepts this proposal, then affected groups may make a submission during the notification period. • The proposal may attract some media attention as the river is well known in the surrounding communities, particularly Hanmer Springs, Rotherham, Culverden, Waiau (locality), Spotswood and Cheviot. 20 April 2016 Page 2 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 SECRETARIAT RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation 1 Accept the proposal to alter Waiau River to Waiau Uwha River , with the addition of the generic geographic term ‘River’ to help emergency services to identify the feature, based on the NZGB’s function to collect original Māori names for recording on official charts and maps, documentary evidence of the original name and Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori having confirmed the orthography, and Notify as a proposal to alter for three months in terms of Section 16 of the NZGB Act 2008. AND Recommendation 2 For consistency, request the Department of Conservation to consider altering Waiau Rivermouth Recreation Reserve to Waiau Uwha Rivermouth Recreation Reserve and Waiau Rivermouth Scenic Reserve to Waiau Uwha Rivermouth Scenic Reserve . AND Recommendation 3 Discontinue Waiau Irrigation Scheme in terms of Section 24(2)(b) of the NZGB Act 2008, based on the NZGB no longer having jurisdiction over irrigation schemes, and Notify in terms of Section 21(2) of the NZGB Act 2008. OTHER OPTIONS Option 4 Accept the proposal to alter Waiau River to Waiau Uwha (without the generic term ‘River’) based on the NZGB’s function to collect original Māori names for recording on official charts and maps, documentary evidence of the original name and Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori having confirmed the orthography, and Notify as a proposal to alter for three months in terms of Section 16 of the NZGB Act 2008. AND Option 5 Discontinue Waiau Irrigation Scheme in terms of Section 24(2)(b) of the NZGB Act 2008, based on the NZGB no longer having jurisdiction over irrigation schemes, and Notify in terms of Section 21(2) of the NZGB Act 2008. SECRETARIAT ANALYSIS The proposal and • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (TRoK), which is one of 18 papatipu rūnanga ( lit. its significance to governance structures) of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, is seeking to alter the proposer Waiau River to Waiau Uwha. • TRoK advises that: - the restoration of original tribal names for geographic features in its takiwā ( lit. district) is very important to Ngāi Tahu, and - the Waiau Toa and Waiau Uwha tradition is well known to Ngāti Kuri, a hapū of TRoK, and appears in several whanau manuscripts. 20 April 2016 Page 3 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 • TRoK has also made a proposal to alter Clarence River to Waiau Toa. The Waiau Uwha • ‘Waiau perhaps denotes water current (wai: water, au: current) uwha: tradition denotes femininity. Waiau Uwha is the female river, coupled with Waiau Toa (the male river), these two drifted away from each other. Waiau Uwha laments this separation [and] her tears swell the waters at the times when warm rains allow melted snow to enter the river’. Names for the • The river has been named ‘Waiau’ in various forms on maps, plans and river shown on charts since 1841. Between 1860 and 1920 some maps and plans also maps, plans and show the river named as ‘Dillon’. A 1953 news article in the NZGB’s charts archives records, ‘During the last half of the 19 th century the Waiau river (sic) was shown on maps as the Dillon, and since this river formed part of the boundary of Nelson Province, it was probably so named after the Hon. Constantine Augustus Dillon, who in 1851 was Nelson’s Commissioner of Crown Lands’. • Several historical maps and charts name Waiau River as ‘R. Waiau-ua (or Lesser)’ and Clarence River as ‘R. Waiau-toa (or Greater)’. This could allude to either the size of the rivers’ catchment at the time, or the feminine (uwha) river being of less importance than the male (toa) river. • Some of the earlier maps and plans have ‘ua’ as a suffix to the river’s name. The proposer advises that ‘Uwha’ is the correct orthography for ‘ua’. Map/plan/chart Date Name Sketch of the Middle Island 1841 WAIO R (WAIAU) Stokes Chart 1856 Waiau ua R.

  • Introduction Getting There the Hurunui River the Waiau River
    Introduction The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers offer a more relaxed fishing experience than the bigger braided rivers further south. They are home to North Canterbury’s best populations of brown trout in addition to seasonal populations of sea run salmon. The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers flow through hills for most of their length and are Canterbury’s most scenic braided rivers. In places, the presence of hills on the riverbanks make access challenging but anglers who put in the effort should be well rewarded. Getting There The Waiau River The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers lie around 90 and 130 kilometres north clears after a fresh. The section of river on either side of the State The Waiau River runs through a series of gorges from the Alps to the of Christchurch City respectively.

The CDHB as a whole represents over 8300 employees across a diverse range of services. Every division of the CDHB is affected by alcohol misuse and alcohol-related harm. The CDHB response is based on extensive evidence for alcohol-related harm. It is important that evidence-based submissions are given a higher weighting than those based on opinion or hearsay in the final formulation of the Local Alcohol Policy. There are important evidence based issues, clinical issues and public health issues which need to be articulated by the CDHB and therefore requests two slots at the hearings .

  • The Stone Jug Fault: Facilitating Sinistral Displacement
    The Stone Jug Fault: Facilitating Sinistral Displacement Transfer During the Mw7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake By Bradley Scott 30.6.2019 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology at the University of Canterbury 1 The Central SJF approximately 1km south of Limestone Creek looking south. Photography from helicopter by Kate Pedley 2 Abstract th The Stone Jug Fault (SJF) ruptured during the November 14 , 2016 (at 12:02 am), Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake which initiated ~40 km west-southwest of the study area, at a depth of approximately 15 km. Preliminary post-earthquake mapping indicated that the SJF connects the Conway-Charwell and Hundalee faults, which form continuous surface rupture, however, detailed study of the SJF had not been undertaken prior to this thesis due to its remote location and mountainous topography. The SJF is 19 km long, has an average strike of ~160° and generally carries approximately equal components of sinistral and reverse displacement. The primary fault trace is sigmoidal in shape with the northern and southern tips rotating in strike from NNW to NW, as the SJF approaches the Hope and Hundalee faults. It comprises several steps and bends and is associated with many (N=48) secondary faults, which are commonly near irregularities in the main fault geometry and in a distributed fault zone at the southern tip. The SJF is generally parallel to Torlesse basement bedding where it may utilise pre-existing zones of weakness. Horizontal, vertical and net displacements range up to 1.4 m, with displacement profiles along the primary trace showing two main maxima separated by a minima towards the middle and ends of the fault.
