As a short to medium term initiative for the communities of Whenuakite, Coroglen, Kaimarama and The 309 Road, the community vision plan will: ♦ Focus community debate and get people involved in making decisions and taking responsibility for our communities ♦ Set direction and common goals, promote consensus and avoid division ♦ Safeguard the community and the environment from exploitation ♦ Capture all good ideas and identify initiatives suitable for external funding ♦ Assist Community Board decision-making and allow more effective use of ratepayer funds ♦ Ensure the small settlements are able to develop facilities that suit the area ♦ Help avoid haphazard development ♦ Help influence Thames Coromandel District Council’s programme of works during its annual and long-term planning processes ♦ Show opportunities for individuals and groups to develop new projects and provide goods and services Reporting on this Plan each year will enable the community to record achievements and to check that the identified priorities are still correct. It will also be a chance to include new information and new ideas. How will the plan work? This Community Plan is a collection of aspirations and priorities for future directions. It is a community-owned document and provides a framework to be used to guide decision making for local planning purposes. For example, individuals and groups who may be wishing to undertake a community project could use the Community Plan to determine priorities for action or to support their requests for external funding. As part of the Council’s planning process, the Mercury Bay Community Board will use this Plan to determine local priorities and to recom- mend future work programmes to council. The Thames Coromandel District Council will take into account the principles and priorities as outlined in the Community Plan when deciding its annual and longer-term work programmes. The Council will use the Community Plan as a basis for developing policies for desired growth within the District. The plan will be used to secure support from within and outside the community for funding for specific projects and will be reported on regu- larly to the Community Board and the public. Annual reporting will enable success to be measured and information to be checked and up- dated. There is opportunity for involvement at every stage of the process. The Community Board will take an active role in promoting the Plan to the community and where appropriate, facilitating project development. Others who have an interest in the future of the area will find the Community Plan an essential planning guide. These include: ♦ Government Agencies ♦ Other Councils ♦ Developers/Investors ♦ Visitors and Tourists Who will have access to the plan? This Community Plan is available from the local Council Office at 46 Albert Street, Whitianga or by telephoning Council on 07 867 2010. How will progress and success be measured? A central record of activity will be kept at the District Council office, 46 Albert Street, Whitianga and through the Mercury Bay Community Board. Progress will be reported to the community annually. Maintaining the integrity of the Plan and monitoring its use is a necessary part of the implementation. A review of the Plan’s highest priorities will be carried out by the Community Board at a time to coincide with the prepa- ration of Council’s annual plan 2 A major review of this Community Plan will be undertaken every three years to coincide with the review of Council’s LTCCP process. This will involve public consultation and input. How can new ideas be incorporated? The Community Plan has been arranged like a workbook so that an individual or group may use it to keep a record of their activity and ideas. The central record of activity, maintained by Council, will form the basis of the annual report to the community and the Community Board. All comments on or contributions to this Community Plan should be made to the Thames Coromandel District Council’s Mercury Bay Area Manager, 46 Albert Street, Whitianga. 3 History Mercury Bay South – A district rich in history. Early last century the rural areas of Mahakirau, Kaimarama, Ounuora, Old farming pioneers have passed on. New owners have sub-divided Waiwawa and Whenuakite were a hive of industry. Kauri Forests properties. Lifestyle blocks, orchards and tourism are the new rural were felled and floated down river to Whitianga. outlook. Gumtown flourished, stores, hotels and boarding houses aplenty. What of the hub of it all, Gumtown with its hotels, billiard rooms, Relics of those days are still around, dam sills, old machinery, hollow timber and gum, now only a school, hall, tavern and rural bonhomie. logs that bushies dwelt in. The watershed of these areas was also a Living on only in stories and reminiscing. rich source of gum. The rape of the forests came to an end. Gumtown changed its name to Coroglen in 1921 – a new era had begun. Land was cleared; the change to farming in 1911 saw a dairy company established in Whitianga. Cream was collected in cans and shipped down river, farming goods and fertiliser brought to Te Kauanga Wharf by the Lady Jocelyn. Her service ceased when road transport took over in 1963. Goods and rural mail as well as cream cartage continued until 1972 when the Mercury Bay Co-op Dairy Co closed and milk tankers carted whole milk dairy produce ‘over the hill’. The Post Office in Coroglen closed, rural telephone exchanges disappeared and rural mail services now deliver goods, daily papers as well as mail. Memories of those early times abound, the Maori Church and Mission at Te Ho Ho, fun times in the halls, schools established, sports days, telephone party lines through which the district knew all that went on. 4 A description of our community / Map 5 A description of our community / Map 6 Our Process So Far March 2006 Council facilitated preparation of the Rural Community Plan of Whenuakite, Coroglen, Kaimarama & The 309 Rd by sending out letter to all ratepayers informing them of forthcoming Community Planning meeting. 29 March 2006 Community Planning meeting held at Coroglen Hall.

  • Tane 22, 1976 Geology of the Whitianga Group, Great Mercury Island
    TANE 22, 1976 GEOLOGY OF THE WHITIANGA GROUP, GREAT MERCURY ISLAND - PART I. COROGLEN SUBGROUP STRATIGRAPHY by B.W. Hayward Department of Geology, University of Auckland, Private Bag, Auckland (Present address: Paleobiology Dept., Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C. 20560, U.S.A.) SUMMARY A 250m thick, lensing sequence of rhyolitic pyroclastites, epiclastites and pyroclastic flow deposits (Coroglen Subgroup) overlies an irregular surface of older andesites on Great Mercury Island. Deposition was mostly subaerial, but occasionally fluviatile or lacustrine; the source being volcanic vents at the southern end of the island. Rhyolite domes intruded the Coroglen rocks and extruded flows both during and after their deposition. Minor basalt was also erupted contemporaneously with the rhyolite. INTRODUCTION Great Mercury Island lies off the east coast of Coromandel Peninsula (Fig. 1), 20km east of Kennedys Bay. The geology was first studied by Professor R.N. Brothers in the early 1950's but his results have never been published, although they formed the basis of Schofield's (1967) 1:250,000 map. Recently, Skinner (in press) has compiled a 1:63,360 map "from aerial photos using unpublished field data and samples collected by Professor R.N. Brothers." Field work for the present paper was carried out during the A.U.F.C. scientific trip in May 1975. Using the earlier maps of Brothers and Skinner as a base, the study was directed towards resolving some of the discrepancies between the two and towards accurately mapping the outcrop and studying the stratigraphy of the Whitianga Group pyroclastics (Coroglen Subgroup). Needless to say this study has shown that photogeology is no match for actual field observations.
