Now staff are searching for the owners of the taonga, or treasures, and precious items that have been handed in to the police over the past decade. Most items in the taonga box are carved pounamu and bone necklaces, but there are also bibles, family photos, rosaries, carved patu and a plastic Jesus. Police need to find the owners by the end of January or the items will be passed on to churches and master carvers who may return the items to the land. ‘‘About 10 years ago they created a box and just kept them hoping somebody would come and claim them some day,’’ Cus- tomer Services Manager Sharon Johnston said. Standard procedure for lost items handed into the police sta- tion was to auction or destroy the property after three months, she said. But the taonga were kept at the station, and the collection has accumulated over the years. The station has only basic Sharon Johnston with some of the taonga that police are trying to reunite with their owners.

Emeny3 1Unitec, Auckland, NEW ZEALAND 2 eCoast, Raglan, NEW ZEALAND 3 Wellington City Council, Wellington, NEW ZEALAND. [email protected] Abstract An investigation has been undertaken at Lyall Bay in Wellington to propose options with regard to protecting the natural and built coastal infrastructure and reinstating a functional dune. Lyall Bay is an important recreational asset for Wellington as it is popular with the community for many activities both in the water and on the beach, as well as scenic drives, visiting cafes, and plane watching with the nearby airport. The project has specifically included investigating options for 1) dune restoration to maximize their effectiveness in absorbing wave energy and protecting natural and built infrastructure 2) protect the rocky shoreline, grassed area and trees on the western side of the bay 3) the shifting of sand around the bay and dealing with current infrastructure within the beach environment. Lyall Bay is a highly modified beach environment that has been developed since early last century, leading to a number of constraints and changes when coastal processes are considered. The dune field has been replaced with people/houses/buildings; the bay has been contained within walls, roads and parking; stormwater discharges into the bay through 20 different outfalls; the eastern third of the bay has been reclaimed for the airport, and a further 350m of reclamation is proposed in the near future.

MILLENNIAL URBAN PARK DESIGN IN MELBOURNE AND WELLINGTON: HOW DIVERGENT COLONIAL FOUNDATIONS WITHIN THE TRANS-TASMAN BUBBLE IMPACT LANDSCAPE PRACTICE Brent Greene | RMIT University Fiona Johnson | RMIT University Despite their shared colonial origins, trans-Tasman comparisons of landscape architecture practice between Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are rare. An oft-cited critical point of difference is the respective presence (New Zealand) and absence (Australia) of a treaty with indigenous nations of the land at the time of foundation, a scenario that we argue establishes distinct conceptualisations of urban park design during the 1990s and early 2000s.

What a delightful weekend of activity we had during the Oranui Games on Auckland Anniversary weekend. It was wonderful to see so many people: visitors and members alike: enjoying themselves; either taking part in the sport events or just having a relaxing time. At the outset, Brad the President gave a brief outline when the Oranui Games started in its present form from about year 2000. The official address and flag raising was presented by Les Olsen, the club Patron. Les mentioned that the forerunner to the Oranui games was the Inter-club sports days which began in 1966 to foster better relations between the clubs in the Auckland Waikato regions. These weekend activities were usually held around Auckland Anniversary weekend - depending on what other activities were being held by the other clubs at the time. In the years when the NZNF Rally was held at Auckland the Anniversary weekend was usually a relaxed camping and Sonya & Taya about to raise the flags socialising affair with casual sport activity prevalent.
