  • 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.

  • TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES of the TRAIL: This Trail Will Take About Four Hours to Drive and View at an Easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA Pace
    WELLINGTON’S TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES OF THE TRAIL: This trail will take about four hours to drive and view at an easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA pace. Vantage points are mostly accessible by wheelchair but there are steps at some sites such as Rangitatau and Uruhau pa. A Pou (carved post), a rock or an information panel mark various sites on the trail. These sites have been identified with a symbol. While the trail participants will appreciate that many of the traditional sites occupied by Maori in the past have either been built over or destroyed, but they still have a strong spiritual presence. There are several more modern Maori buildings such as Pipitea Marae and Tapu Te Ranga Marae, to give trail participants a selection of Maori sites through different periods of history. ABOUT THE TRAIL: The trail starts at the Pipitea Marae in Thorndon Quay, opposite the Railway Station, and finishes at Owhiro Bay on the often wild, southern coast of Wellington. While not all the old pa, kainga, cultivation and burial sites of Wellington have been included in this trail, those that are have been selected for their accessibility to the public, and their viewing interest. Rock Pou Information panel Alexander Turnbull Library The Wellington City Council is grateful for the significant contribution made by the original heritage Trails comittee to the development of this trail — Oroya Day, Sallie Hill, Ken Scadden and Con Flinkenberg. Historical research: Matene Love, Miria Pomare, Roger Whelan Author: Matene Love This trail was developed as a joint project between Wellingtion City Council, the Wellington Tenths Trust and Ngati Toa.

    Summary Report LET’S GET WELLINGTON MOVING This report presents summary findings of the Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) November and December 2017 public engagement. February 2018 Report prepared by Global Research Ltd Report By Global Research Ltd Foreword by Let’s Get Wellington Moving Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) is a joint initiative between Wellington City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council, and the New Zealand Transport Agency. We’re working with the people of Wellington to develop a transport system that improves how the city looks, feels, and functions. Our focus is the area from Ngauranga to the airport, including the Wellington Urban Motorway and connections to the central city, port, hospital, and the eastern and southern suburbs. OUR WORK SO FAR In 2016 we talked with people around the region to learn what people like and dislike about Wellington and how they get around the city. Using feedback from more than 10,000 people, we developed a set of urban design and transport priniciples to guide our work. We then collected extensive transport data, and used the principles and ideas from the public to develop scenarios to improve Wellington’s transport and support the city’s growth. THIS REPORT In November and December 2017, we released four scenarios for Wellington’s transport future and promoted these in a region-wide public engagement programme. The scenarios were presented in the document Have Your Say…on Let’s Get Wellington Moving and on the website yourvoice.getwellymoving.co.nz. As a result, LGWM received 1,994 online and hardcopy-form responses, 147 letter/report style responses (including 55 from stakeholder groups), and 35 Facebook posts.

  • Basin Reserve Heritage Backgrounder
    SAVE THE BASIN RESERVE NO FLYOVER www.savethebasin.org.nz [email protected] Basin Reserve Heritage Introduction The Basin Reserve is one of Wellington’s most significant reserves and recreation areas. It is registered as an ‘Historic Area’ by the NZ Historic Places Trust – the first sports ground in New Zealand to receive this. All parts, including the Museum Stand (Pavilion), R.A. Vance Stand, Groundman's Shed, playing oval and picket fence, Reid and Dempster Gates, former Midland St Pats Cricket Clubrooms, the main fence, William Wakefield Fountain, toilets, scoreboard, play area, three light towers and the bank, are included in the registration. In addition, the Pavilion has a Category 2 registration. Earliest days The area occupied by the Basin Reserve was once a lagoon connected to the harbour by a stream, bordered by swamp. It was called the Basin by William Mein Smith, the Surveyor General in 1840, because he envisaged that, as the settlement grew, the stream could be widened and barges could be drawn up to a Basin created there. From surrounding warehouses, goods would be efficiently distributed to the city and Newtown. Mein Smith’s plans for a canal and dock were put paid to by a very large earthquake in 1855. At 8.2 on the richter scale, it raised Te Aro Flat 5 feet so the lagoon became a mere swamp. Gift to the people of Wellington The citizens of Wellington own the Basin Reserve. The land was first granted by the Crown in 1861 “in trust for the purposes of public utility to the Town of Wellington and its inhabitants”.

  • Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver)
    Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver) Captain C.W. Mein Smith's original map "Plan of the Town of Wellington, Port Nicholson, 14 August 1840" For the New Zealand Company established the basic street structure for Mount Victoria. Whereas southern Mount Victoria was an extension of the Te Aro flat grid street pattern, the steepness of the land in northern Mount Victoria, dictated some alteration to the grid pattern. The original streets of the suburb were Majoribanks, Pirie and Ellice in the east west direction, Brougham and Austin Streets and Kent Terrace in the north south direction, with Roxburgh, Mcfarlane, and Hawker streets and Clyde Quay in the northern area. The map also shows the proposed canal route along to the Basin and Hawker street going over the hill and joining onto Oriental Terrace, now Oriental Parade. Approximately 36 acres were surveyed and defined in the northern area. Initial building development was haphazard as some acres had been purchased by land speculators. Thomas Ward's 1891 Survey of Wellington map shows the number of streets and pedestrian lanes in Mount Victoria had increased from 10 to 27, and by 1933 there were 47. Studying the Street maps and examining the Wises Directories gives a good indication of the development of the streets. These streets were at varying widths, including pedestrian lanes, and resulted from the haphazard subdivision of the original acres and the peculiarities of local topography. Some streets began as small private pedestrian lanes, which were only taken over by the Council at a much later date.
