Ngāti it can sustain our future generations. Toa will hold to account all those who make decisions that affect the kaitiaki relationship that Ngāti Toa have with Te Awarua-o-Porirua. It is a responsibility that the people of Ngāti Toa accept and we will work with our partner organisations to ensure that we are progressing towards success. 4 Our engagement with the Whaitua Implementation Programme In 2014 Ngāti Toa agreed to participate in Greater Wellington Regional Council’s work to implement the requirements of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management. We saw this as an opportunity to work together with agencies to ensure that our voice was heard, develop shared values and re-set expectations on national policy settings. In 2018, Ngāti Toa decided to withdraw its appointed representative from the Whaitua Committee. This was to allow Ngāti Toa the opportunity to carefully evaluate and articulate its views in relation to its aspirations for Porirua’s waterways and harbour. In particular, Ngāti Toa was uncomfortable with the consensus-based approach to the Committee’s deliberations, which compromised Ngāti Toa in terms of its values and its role as kaitiaki. From Ngāti Toa’s perspective, there is no compromise: we wish for our people to be able to harvest food from, swim in and enjoy the waters of Te Awarua-o-Porirua, and we wish for the fish, birds, insects and plants of this ancient ecosystem to thrive once again. These aspirations are grounded in our responsibility as mana whenua of this region. 5 Our relationship with Te Awarua-o-Porirua Whaitua The streams and tributaries flowing into the harbour the surrounding coast and ocean, a large number of are greatly valued by Ngāti Toa as mahinga kai (places Ngāti Toa settlements were located in and around the to gather food), but also because they are a source of harbour. renewal and replenishment for Te Awarua-o-Porirua. Historically, the natural flows and processes of the Taupō Pā, at Plimmerton, near the entrance of the harbour were a defining feature of tribal life, and the harbour, was the principle residence of Ngāti Toa abundance of natural life supported by the harbour chief Te Rauparaha. Paremata Pā, constructed in the provided a wealth of kaimoana (seafood, shellfish), 1830s, was the residence of Nohorua, Te Rauparaha’s older brother. Nohorua also had a pā at Hongœka. providing the people of Ngāti Toa with an important Te Rangihæata had pā at both Motukaraka and source of food. The streams that feed into the harbour Pauatahanui (Matai-taua Pā). also provided a plentiful supply of freshwater fish and tuna (eels). The streams were surrounded by Forming the southern side of the entrance to Porirua forest, which provided foods such as birds, berries Harbour is Whitireia Peninsula. This is another area of and rongoā (medicines). In addition to providing importance to Ngāti Toa, containing numerous wāhi sustenance for Ngāti Toa and their manuhiri, kaimoana tapu (sacred sites) and historical sites, including burial gathered from the harbour and harakeke (flax) from places, kainga, pā, middens, pits, terraces (for gardens) the Taupō wetland were important commodities for and tauranga waka (places of anchorage). Areas of trade and gifts. settlement on the peninsula include Te Kahikatoa, Te Neke, Te Onepoto, Kaiaua, Onehunga and Kaitawa. According to iwi tradition, Awarua-o-Porirua was valued because it was the richest harbour for Takapuwahia Pā, located on the southern shores kaimoana and other resources south of Kawhia. of the Onepoto Arm, became an important kainga Shellfish such as pipi, pūpū (winkle or cat’s eye), paua, of Ngāti Toa following the capture and detention of mussels and oysters, kina (sea urchin), and a range Te Rauparaha by the Crown. Hongœka, a coastal of fish sustained the people of Ngāti Toa. Because of settlement north of the harbour entrance, is also the life-sustaining abundance and variety provided a significant kainga of Ngāti Toa. Takapuwahia by Te Awarua-o-Porirua and its tributaries, as well as and Hongœka are the only remaining traditional 6 settlements of Ngāti Toa within the Porirua region and continue to be sites of significance. In the twentieth century, the Takapuwahia community faced many challenges including Crown pressure to take their land for housing of the general population and the provision of utilities such as roading, water and sewerage to the pā. In the 1940s the Crown began to develop state housing at Takapuwahia, part of a major programme of public housing construction throughout the Tawa Flat – Porirua – Titahi Bay areas. The Crown sought to ‘pepper-pot’ members of the tribe among the rest of the community in an effort to ‘assimilate’ them, and also had a policy of not approving housing loans to iwi members, which would force them to move out of Porirua. Despite the development of housing around Takapuwahia, by the end of the 1950s the provision of infrastructure to the Takapuwahia settlement itself was still poor: the roads were only partially formed, there was no mains sewerage, and the water supply was inadequate, with only two or three houses connected (Deed of Settlement between Ngati Toa Rangitara and the Taupō pā, Plimmerton Crown, 2012). URL: https://nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo/taupo-pa-plimmerton, (Ministry for Culture and Heritage), updated 25-Jun-2014 7 Until the 1930s and 1940s, the people of Ngāti Toa were still substantially dependent on the marine resources taken from the area. Ngāti Toa had demarcated pipi beds from which it collected pipi, and took pūpū and fish from the harbour, not only for day-to-day needs but also for social gatherings and events, when considerable additional quantities were gathered. In 1940 complaints were raised that pollution from a number of sources was entering and affecting the Porirua arm of the harbour. Residents of the area, including Ngāti Toa, were alarmed to see raw sewage cast up on the foreshore and at times discolouration of the harbour itself. In May 1940 the Medical Officer of Health for the Wellington area reported on pollution of the harbour. The report concluded that although 40,000 to 60,000 gallons (approximately 150,000 to 227,000 litres) of untreated sewerage entered the harbour per day, mainly from the Porirua Mental Hospital, the location of the discharge point and the effects of tides meant that the continuous flow of sewage appeared ‘to be causing no nuisance and inconveniences no one’. The report found no evidence for the 8 claims that the pollution was having an impact on Throughout much of the twentieth century the shellfish in the harbour (Deed of Settlement the Crown has not included Ngāti Toa in any between Ngati Toa Rangitara and the Crown, meaningful role in the management of the Porirua 2012, p.41). harbour or its resources.

  • Historical Snapshot of Porirua
    HISTORICAL SNAPSHOT OF PORIRUA This report details the history of Porirua in order to inform the development of a ‘decolonised city’. It explains the processes which have led to present day Porirua City being as it is today. It begins by explaining the city’s origins and its first settlers, describing not only the first people to discover and settle in Porirua, but also the migration of Ngāti Toa and how they became mana whenua of the area. This report discusses the many theories on the origin and meaning behind the name Porirua, before moving on to discuss the marae establishments of the past and present. A large section of this report concerns itself with the impact that colonisation had on Porirua and its people. These impacts are physically repre- sented in the city’s current urban form and the fifth section of this report looks at how this development took place. The report then looks at how legislation has impacted on Ngāti Toa’s ability to retain their land and their recent response to this legislation. The final section of this report looks at the historical impact of religion, particularly the impact of Mormonism on Māori communities. Please note that this document was prepared using a number of sources and may differ from Ngati Toa Rangatira accounts. MĀORI SETTLEMENT The site where both the Porirua and Pauatahanui inlets meet is called Paremata Point and this area has been occupied by a range of iwi and hapū since at least 1450AD (Stodart, 1993). Paremata Point was known for its abundant natural resources (Stodart, 1993).

  • Is It Safe to Swim in Porirua?
    PORIRUA RECREATIONAL WATER QUALITY MONITORING RESULTS FOR THE 2017/18 SUMMER IS IT SAFE TO SWIM IN PORIRUA? Caution! Don’t swim after rain Recreational water quality in Porirua is variable and depends on the site. Most sites have an overall grade of B or C, but two sites are graded D. The worst sites in this area are at Plimmerton and in the Onepoto arm of Te Awarua-o-Porirua Harbour. Previous investigations have identified human sewage as a source of contamination in these areas, however inspections of the sewer network by Wellington Water have not fully identified the specific sources. Plimmerton Beach and the areas of the harbour near the Waka Ama and Rowing clubs remain susceptible to faecal contamination and can experience high bacterial levels even in dry weather conditions. The unpredictably of water quality at these sites means caution should be taken at all times. Pukerua Bay Key A – Very low risk of illness 8% (1 site) B – Low risk of illness 42% (5 sites) Plimmerton C – Caution advised 33% (4 sites) D – Sometimes* unsuitable for swimming 17% (2 sites) Te Awarua o Porirua Titahi Bay Harbour Whitby *Sites that are graded D tend to be significantly affected by rainfall and should be avoided for at least 48hrs after it has rained. However water quality at these sites may be safe for swimming for much of the Porirua rest of the time.

  • Distribution of Geological Materials in Lower Hutt and Porirua, New Zealand a Component of a Ground Shaking Hazard Assessment
    332 DISTRIBUTION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS IN LOWER HUTT AND PORIRUA, NEW ZEALAND A COMPONENT OF A GROUND SHAKING HAZARD ASSESSMENT G. D. Dellow1 , S. A. L. Read 1 , J. G. Begg1 , R. J. Van Dissen1 , N. D. Perrin1 ABSTRACT Geological materials in the Lower Hutt, Eastbourne, Wainuiomata, and Porirua urban areas are mapped and described as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment of seismic ground shaking hazards. Emphasis is mainly on the flat-lying parts of these areas which are underlain by variable Quaternary-age sediments that overlie Permian-Mesowic age 'greywacke' bedrock. Within the Quaternary-age sediments, the two material types recognised on strength characteristics are: 1) Soft sediments, typically composed of normally consolidated, fine-grained materials (sand, silt and clay), with typical standard penetration values (SPT) of <20 blows/300 mm; and 2) Loose to compact coarser-grained materials (sand, gravel), with SPT values of > 20 blows/ 300 mm. The total thickness and nature of Quaternary-age sediments in the study areas is described, with particular emphasis on the thickness and geotechnical properties of near-surface sediments. Such sediments are considered likely to have a significant influence on the an1plification and attenuation of ground shaking intensity during earthquakes. In the Lower Hutt valley, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of -16 kni. Such soft sediments underlie much of Petone and the Lower Hutt urban and city centres, and have a maximum known thickness of 27 m near the western end of the Petone foreshore. In the Wainuiomata area, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of - 3 krn2, and attain a maximum thickness of 32 m.
