In this scenario the port and foreshore can be developed into a magnificent landmark, rivalling the Wynyard Quar- ter. The former volcanic crater basin could be reinstated as a public park while serving as stormwater retention facil- ity. The port turns into a business and en- tertainment hub, and a scenic board- walk runs along the outstanding natural feature of the volcanic bluff formation, passing the historic Sea Scout building towards the Manukau Cruising Club, and the Taumanu Re- serve. Currently, the bluff formation is to large extent covered by polluted sed- iments. These sediments should be removed in a sensible manner, and be turned into mudcrete, forming an extension of the northern wharf, creating approx 6000m2 of high-value property. The generated value can finance the removal of polluted sediments in a private - public partnership. ONEHUNGA - CONCEPTUAL MASTERPLAN STUDY - UPDATE 20.05.2017 W 10 Onehunga Western Foreshore Medium development proposal As Onehunga’s foreshore has been al- tered by human activity for more than a century, and its current state south of the Taumanu Reserve resembles rather a Brownfield then a natural foreshore, we see tremendous devel- opment potential for urbanised wa- terfront access. Auckland’s sustainable development policy prioritises Brownfiled develop- ments along traffic corridors. Onehu- nga offers the ideal location for this approach. Very few areas in Auckland offer the opportunity to build right at the wa- ter’s edge without destroying natural habitats. We suggest that commercial and res- idential buildings be developed along Orpheus drive. These buildings could be cantilevered over water with mini- mise structural support (poles). The usage should include a volcanic crater exhibition centre, and various F+B and hospitality outlets. Turning the foreshore from a bike and hiking path, into a lively area like Mission Bay or Devonport. The existing breakwater south of the Manukau Cruising Club could be turned into a marina for small sports crafts. And a commercial square would act as attractor at the south end of Taumanu reserve, convenient- ly closing the loop to Onehunga town ctr. via the existing pedestrian bridge at the Onehunga Lagoon. An additional vehicle crossing would be beneficial; we suggest a tunnel at the south end of the lagoon.

The current proposal by NZTA does not incorporate the option for traffic mit- igation by opening the intended pedestrian bridge to Mangere for passenger cars and public transport. While limitations on heavy traffic (trucks) would be supported to protect the residential community of Mangere, it appears contra productive to force local residents to commute via a freeway, while an easy local connection via car and public transport along the Mangere bridge is achievable at a minor cost increase. Aside from the obvious benefit to local traffic, such a bridge, especially with public transport, would enhance the cooperation and mutual beneficial effects between Mangere and Onehunga. The current light rail track alignment by Auckland Transport suggests a new Mangere Inlet crossing, which would be swinging under the existing S20 bridge. 650m It considers one station in Onehunga and one station at the Mangere overpass. It disregards any connection to the Onehunga Wharf and as such does not consid- er the development potential of Onehunga’s wharf as “New Wynyard Quarter”. We suggest a revised light rail track alignment, which considers a station at the Port and a crossing along Mangere Bridge. We are confident that a single bridge for multiple transport modes (pedestrians, cyclists, public transport buses, and passenger cars) would be more cost effective than a separate light rail crossing, and pose a less visual impact to the environment. If the train runs across the bridge, then the Mangere station could be ideally lo- cated at the south end of it, with sufficient space for a Park + Ride facility.

  • THE CHURCH by the AIRPORT Westney Road Methodist Church
    The Church by the Airport by R. Waugh THE CHURCH BY THE AIRPORT Westney Road Methodist Church, Mangere - Richard WAUGH Most Aucklanders have driven past it, but few have ever been inside it! The small Westney Road Chapel on George Bolt Drive is the first Church that people see as they leave Auckland International Airport. Built as a pioneer rural chapel in 1856 it is today one of the oldest surviving Methodist Churches in the Auckland area. Its future is somewhat precarious as there are plans for airport extensions with a second runway which would necessitate removal of the Church building and cemetery. Part of the Manukau North Parish since 1982, the cemetery is currently being closed as the first step toward relocation of the historic building. The following are comments by Rev F E Leadley published at the time of the centenary in 1956 - "A hundred years ago, one of a number of small settlements bordering the Manukau Harbour was known as Taotaoroa. Here a few Europeans took up land. The Maori settlement oflhumatao was situated on the coast about 1½ miles away. It was not until the year 1867 that several of these small groups were united and the district renamed "Mangere". In those early days there were few roads - just tracks through the fern and flax, ti-tree and manuka. One of these tracks came down what is now Westney Road to the beach, and another crossing it at right angles led to the Maori Pa and Methodist Mission Station at Ihumatao. At this intersection, which also marked one corner of Mr William Westney's farm, an area of two acres was generously set aside by him as a gift for a Methodist Church and Burial Ground.

  • The Flowing Tide 1850-1950 a Brief Outline of the Onehunga Methodist Church and Its Influence Through One Hundred Years
    The Flowing Tide by Rev. Frank. E. Leadley The Flowing Tide 1850-1950 A brief outline of the Onehunga Methodist Church and its influence through one hundred years. Prepared by Rev. Frank. E. Leadley First Onehunga Methodist Church, 1850 Wesley Historical Society (NZ) Publication #8(1) 1950 Page 1 The Flowing Tide by Rev. Frank. E. Leadley INTRODUCTION Looking back to the early days of the Christian Gospel in New Zealand, it must be borne in mind that the pioneer Missionaries of both the Anglican and Methodist Churches came predominantly to the Maori people. Indeed, it may be said that fully 80 of Christian teaching a hundred years' ago was given to them. The establishment of churches for the pakeha closely followed the settlements which sprang up rapidly along both east and west coasts of the North Island, as emigrants from Great Britain arrived. It is with devout gratitude to Almighty God, and sincere admiration for a noble company of men and women pioneers, that the Trustees of the Onehunga Methodist Church review a century of Christian service, in which tills Church has been the head of a religious movement which extended through Otahuhu, Papakura, Waiuku, to the Bombay settlement, and Pukekohe; all of which places are today centres of Christian service to the community. The first Methodist Church in Onehunga, built in the year 1850, has long since served its purpose, and been sold. But there remains still in occupation the first Parsonage, a sturdy kauri building, erected in 1840 at Mangungu, at the head of the Hokianga harbour, and in 1855 brought by water and re-erected here.

  • A Study of Transience in South Auckland Primary Schools
    A STUDY OF STUDENT TRANSIENCE IN SOUTH AUCKLAND PRIMARY SCHOOLS 1 Introduction: Reports by primary schools teachers and principals talk of the frustration of attempting to educate children who are constantly changing schools2. Anecdotal information from teaching professionals reports that this transience has become worse during the 1990s. Many believe it is linked to the shift to market-related rents in 1993, and the rapidly increased rents that followed this change. These policy changes have made the housing position of many families vulnerable and tenuous, leading to frequent shifts between houses as they attempt to manage high rents and household debts. Reports from budgeting agencies suggest that many families move between renting their own home and sharing one with their extended family, with the high financial cost of renting and the high personal cost of sharing being continuously traded off. Child Poverty Action Group (Inc) is a not-for-profit group of practitioners, activists and academics who advocate for more informed social policy to support children in Aotearoa New Zealand. CPAG is particularly interested in the plight of the one third of New Zealand children who presently live in relative, and occasionally, absolute poverty. CPAG believes that this situation is not the result of economic necessity but due to policy neglect. Through efforts in research and advocacy, CPAG hopes to highlight the unfortunate position of tens of thousands of New Zealand children, and promote public policies that address the underlying causes of much of this poverty. CPAG believes that every child is part of a family/whanau and that one of the best ways to support family/whanau to nurture their children is to ensure that everyone has access to decent, affordable and appropriate housing.

  • “New Urbanist Intervention in Onehunga: a Transport Centre”
    i Abstract “New Urbanist Intervention in Onehunga: A Transport Centre” New Urbanism is a rapidly developing urban design movement. The movement proposes the development of “mixed-use” communities that are based around pedestrian and public transportation initiatives. New Urbanism has been very successful in the American developments of “Seaside” Florida by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater Zyberk (DPZ), and the redevelopment of “Stapleton International Airport” in Denver, Colorado by Forest City Enterprises. This project challenges and tests the application of New Urbanism based design techniques in a New Zealand environment. The Auckland suburb of Onehunga is currently subject to many large scale council driven developments. This project is aimed at integrating with the existing council driven projects such as the “Reopen Onehunga Rail Project” which proposes a long term objective of Onehunga becoming a public transport interchange in the wider Auckland community. A second long term Council objective is the development of “mixed-use” housing/retail and residential “densification” in the town centre of Onehunga. These two key future objectives coincide within some of the primary ambitions of New Urbanism theory. The “New Urbanist” development includes the detailed analysis of the suburb with regard to its transportation issues, residential/commercial and industrial layout, public buildings and amenities such as schools/parks and community buildings. The project attempts to address both urban and architectural issues. It involves the detailed planning and allocation of functions for new/existing buildings and public space over the wider suburb. The main architectural entities to be designed are a new public transport centre with subsidiary apartment buildings and a main public square.

  • Soldiers & Colonists
    SOLDIERS & COLONISTS Imperial Soldiers as Settlers in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand John M. McLellan A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2017 i Abstract The approximately 18,000 imperial troops who arrived in New Zealand with the British regiments between 1840 and 1870 as garrison and combat troops, did not do so by choice. However, for the more than 3,600 non-commissioned officers and rank and file soldiers who subsequently discharged from the army in New Zealand, and the unknown but significant number of officers who retired in the colony, it was their decision to stay and build civilian lives as soldier settlers in the colony. This thesis investigates three key themes in the histories of soldiers who became settlers: land, familial relationships, and livelihood. In doing so, the study develops an important area of settler colonialism in New Zealand history. Discussion covers the period from the first arrival of soldiers in the 1840s through to the early twentieth century – incorporating the span of the soldier settlers’ lifetimes. The study focuses on selected aspects of the history of nineteenth-century war and settlement. Land is examined through analysis of government statutes and reports, reminiscences, letters, and newspapers, the thesis showing how and why soldier settlers were assisted on to confiscated and alienated Māori land under the Waste Lands and New Zealand Settlement Acts. Attention is also paid to documenting the soldier settlers’ experiences of this process and its problems. Further, it discusses some of the New Zealand settlements in which military land grants were concentrated.
