  • Local Reality and the Climate Change Adaptation Dilema
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.

History was made on Saturday last week when the Mercury Bay Senior A Marlins rugby team became for the first time ever the sole holders of the McClinchy Cup by beating Thames 12 - 10 in the 2021 Thames Valley Rugby Union club championship final. It was only the third time that the Mercury Bay Senior A team reached the final. With unrelenting wind and rain, the game was played in the most difficult circumstances imaginable. In 2015, the Bay shared the cup with Waihou after a draw in the final. This time was different. The cup will be displayed in the Mercury Bay trophy cabinet for a full 12 months. The emotion among players and supporters were visible when the final whistle went on Saturday. It was undoubtedly one of the proudest moment in the long history of a very proud club.

  • Roamtraveladventures.Com Sat 05 Mar AUCKLAND
    a guided adventure for active women Sat 05 Mar AUCKLAND - THAMES Our adventure starts this morning, with a pickup at Auckland Airport (please arrive by 10.30am) before journeying south across the Bombay Hills and on to Miranda for a spot of bird-watching. The Firth of Thames offers migratory wading birds a massive 8,500 hectares of wide inter-tidal flats and attracts thousands of birds each year. Some fly all the way from the Arctic circle whilst others fly up from the braided rivers of the South Island. There are some easy walking tracks through the mud-flats and an interesting Information Centre where we can eat a picnic lunch whilst learning about this amazing natural occurrence. Our first two nights will be spent in the southwestern end of the Coromandel Peninsula in the town of Thames. Surrounded by impressive bush-clad ranges and the Firth of Thames, a heritage rich in gold and kauri and some interesting shops to poke around in. After dinner we will take a stroll along the foreshore and hopefully witness one of Thames’ legendary sunsets (weather permitting of course!) Sun 06 Mar THAMES Today we will explore the township with a local guide taking in the historic buildings and landscape. There will also be time to enjoy some of the shorter walking tracks near Thames. Native bush, Kauri forests, the singsong of birds, chattering crickets, gold mining history, tunnels and scenery awaits us. Later relax by the pool at our accommodation. Mon 07 Mar HAHEI – WHITIANGA We say haere ra to Thames and begin our circumnavigation of the Coromandel Peninsula.

  • NGĀTI HEI and the CROWN AGREEMENT in PRINCIPLE EQUIVALENT July 2011
    NGĀTI HEI and THE CROWN AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE EQUIVALENT July 2011 INTRODUCTION - SETTLEMENT STRUCTURE 1. The Iwi of Hauraki1 entered into a Framework Agreement between the Hauraki Collective and the Crown dated 1 October 2010. 2. The Framework Agreement and Agreement in Principle Equivalents represent incremental steps towards a comprehensive Deed of Settlement between the Crown and the Iwi of Hauraki. 3. The Deed of Settlement will settle all Historical Claims2 under the Te Tiriti o Waitangi / the Treaty of Waitangi3 in the Hauraki region which arise from the whakapapa of each of the Iwi of Hauraki. 4. As a consequence of the Deed of Settlement, each of the Iwi of Hauraki will be entitled to a range of Treaty settlement redress. 5. The Crown and the Iwi of Hauraki acknowledge that the ultimate structure of a settlement with the Iwi of Hauraki is yet to be agreed, and will be developed in the course of negotiations. Thus, for example, it is not yet agreed whether there will be multiple deeds of settlement or a single deed of settlement with iwi specific redress.4 6. This Agreement in Principle Equivalent comprises both collective and iwi specific chapters and includes: a. redress agreed to by the Crown; b. redress the Crown is willing to explore; and c. redress the Hauraki Collective and Ngāti Hei seek. 7. The Crown acknowledges that the Collective and Ngāti Hei has the right to seek redress, but notes that some of the redress iwi seek is outside current government policy. 8. Ngāti Hei is party to the Hauraki Collective Framework Agreement and is undertaking iwi specific negotiations in respect of its interests.
