And the Schools the Buses Will Travel to in the Morning and Depart from in the Afternoon From Monday 30 January 2017 the Taranaki Regional Council will provide student bus services from Lepperton, Tikorangi Motunui and Urenui. These will replace the privately operated services previously provided by Tranzit Coachlines and Kiwi Tours. The replacement services will operate as public transport services under the Citylink banner. To cover the additional areas bus Routes 21, 22, 23 and 24 from Waitara and Route 31 from Bell Block, will all be operating different routes. This will have an impact on students particularly in Waitara. A new central meeting point at the War Memorial Hall will be established. The four Waitara buses will meet at the hall each morning and students will then be directed to transfer (if required) to buses dedicated to particular schools. In the afternoon the procedure will work in reverse. The following table shows the Route number, the area the bus will pick/drop off students and the schools the buses will travel to in the morning and depart from in the afternoon. Bus Area of service AM travels to: PM picks up from: route AM/PM Route NPGHS, Devon Intermediate, Spotswood College, Waitara 21 Spotswood College Devon Int, NPGHS Route Lepperton, NPBHS, (NPGHS if NPBHS, (NPGHS if required) 22 Motunui required) Route Urenui, Tikorangi, NPGHS, Highlands Intermediate, Highlands Int, NPGHS 23 Waitara Woodleigh School Activity Centre Route FDMC, SHGC, Waitara St John Bosco, SHGC, FDMC 24 St John Bosco Route Lepperton, Airport NPBHS, Highlands Int, Woodleigh NPBHS 31 Drive, Bell Block School Activity Centre Timetables and route descriptions are available on the Councils website www.taranakibus.info Bus news and updates page The short time the Council has had to put these services in place means we have not had time to communicate the changes to students. We appreciate you patience and cooperation as we bed the services in. Doc# 1810454-v1 .

  • A Report Commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Taranaki
    A Report Commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Taranaki Claim (Wai 143) Concerning Kumara Kaiamo Pa and Associated Lands of Ngati Mutunga at Urenui by Brian Bargh December 1995 Any conclusions drawn or opinions expressed are tltose of tlte writer Introduction Ngati Mutunga are an iwi descended from the original inhabitants of the Urenui area who had merged with people who arrived on the Tokomaru waka in about 1350 AD.I Their tribal area is in northern Taranaki centred on Urenui (see Figure 1). Their grievance is that their land was confiscated in the 1860s by the Crown contrary to the Treaty ofWaitangi. They presented evidence to this effect to the Waitangi Tribunal in 1991 and had prepared a report at that time on their claim. Ngati Mutunga in their evidence raised the question of their pa at Urenui known as Kumara Kaiamo. They claim that this is an important wahl tapu and that it was confiscated by the Crown and never returned.2 The purpose of this report is to investigate claims made by Ngati Mutunga regarding Kumara Kaiamo pa in order that the Waitangi Tribunal can determine whether or not the Crown was in breach of Treaty principles with respect to the alienation of that land. The Waitangi Tribunal commission for this report is attached as Appendix I. The N gati Mutunga Claim Ngati Mutunga are joint claimants with other Taranaki hapu in Waitangi Tribunal claim Wai 143. Their claim is in essence that the Crown breached the Treaty ofWaitangi by firstly using the military to attack Taranaki Maori in order to obtain their land and later enacting the NZ Settlements Act 1863 which provided for the confiscation of land of any Maori who was deemed to be in rebellion.

  • Urenui and Onaero Beach Camps Consent Monitoring Report
    Urenui and Onaero Beach Camps Monitoring Programme Annual Report 2016-2017 Technical Report 2017-34 Taranaki Regional Council ISSN: 1178-1467 (Online) Private Bag 713 Document: 1870501 (Word) STRATFORD Document: 1910375 (Pdf) November 2017 Executive summary New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) operates the sewage disposal systems located at Urenui Beach Camp and Onaero Bay Holiday Park. NPDC holds resource consents to allow it to discharge septic tank treated sewage to groundwater via infiltration trenches at each of the motor camps. This report for the period July 2016 to June 2017 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess NPDC’s environmental performance during the period under review. The report also details the results of the monitoring undertaken and assesses the environmental effects of NPDC’s activities. NPDC holds one resource consent per beach camp, each of which has five special conditions setting out the requirements that NPDC must satisfy. During the monitoring period, NPDC demonstrated an overall high level of environmental performance. The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included three inspections per motor camp. One of these inspections included routine bacteriological sampling at four sites at Urenui and five sites at Onaero. An additional two samples were also collected at Onaero, in connection with the elevated faecal indicator bacteria counts recorded in the Onaero River in recent years. The two additional sampling sites were included to differentiate any potential effects of the pump station on the water quality of the river, from the effects of the unnamed tributary and effluent ponds further upstream.

I was the fourth child in my family (my eldest sister just missing out) to have had Mrs Hislop as a teacher. As I look back on photos, all of my siblings have had our photograph taken at the end of each year with her. For each student the end of that year would be slightly scary, as we leave her class onto a new journey with a new teacher, knowing that we have to move on, growing up. As I’m sure other families have had a number of their children pass through and many will be pleased they got to experience a ‘room two’ environment with Mrs Hislop. Peta Hislop has taught Oakura School children for a total of 30 years but done so in two stints. “The first was from 1972 until 1977 and then I re- turned in 1986 and have been here until now.” Mrs Hislop and Becca Cowley, continued on page 2 1992 oakura 1 continued from page 1 editorial I ask Peta a very hard question but I know it is on the minds This end-of-year farewell is infused with all of all readers. much emotion as I try to comprehend the devastating loss of the Pike River What are your most memorable moments? miners.

It is extremely heartening to be involved with or hear about the amazing work of many schools for and about the environment. A great example of this has been the investigation by the senior class at St Pius X School in New Plymouth, into the dredging practices and coastal water quality monitoring at Port Taranaki. The school has been involved in an ‘Experiencing Marine Reserves’ programme for several years.
