Whakanui I Te Rima Tekau Tau 50TH CELEBRATION DINNER YEARS ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION MĀORI INVESTMENTS LTD Whakanui i 5te rima 0tekau tau A formal celebration dinner held in Rotorua on 26 October 2018 marked a significant milestone for Māori Investments Limited, celebrating 50 years since its incorporation on 24 October 1968. The celebration was attended by Board members past and present, shareholders and their whānau, employees past and present and key stakeholders. Many of these people are descendants of those who played key roles in the establishment of Māori Investments Limited, as well as those who dedicated many years to the Company. To commemorate this milestone we present a book which provides a snapshot and an insight into the Company's vast history and achievements over the past 50 years. Ngā mihi mahana kia koutou katoa, J W O'Brien, Chairman Duffy's farm near Maungawhakamana, Tarawera Valley Kupu whakataki INTRODUCTION Māori Investments Limited was derived from a unique forestry project which was established in the 1960's between the Māori landowners, Tasman Pulp and Paper Company Limited (Tasman) and the Crown. The forestry project involved the three parties contributing land for a shareholding in a new company, Tarawera Forests Limited (TFL) that was formed to establish the Tarawera Forest. While the forestry project was straight forward for Tasman and the Crown who were single entities, there were 4,500 Māori landowners in some 40 Māori land blocks and a means had to be found to treat the Māori landowners as one legal entity. Therefore in 1966, the Māori land blocks were amalgamated to one block, Tarawera No.1. Following the amalgamation of the Māori land blocks, Māori Investments Limited was formed to administer the Māori interests in TFL. The Māori landowners would hold ordinary company shares in Maori Investments Limited in proportion to their land holding. On 24 November 1967, the Tarawera Forest Act was enacted to provide for the incorporation of Māori Investments Limited which took place on 24 October 1968.

The Valley is encompassed by three notable maunga, Pūtauaki, Maungawhakamana and Tarawera. In the early 1930's the existing native bush had been partially cut over by Fenton's mill. Percy Fenton, a saw miller in the Bay of Plenty, acquired the cutting rights for 1500 acres of dense rimu bush at Te Haehaenga. To set up the mill Percy had to build and maintain a 17.5km stretch of road which included the strengthening of two bridges. Edwards bridge, Titoki Rd, Tarawera Valley. The Māori owned half of the land in the Valley that comprised of some forty blocks. Thirty two of the blocks were subdivisions of the original 40,000 acre Pokohu block. These blocks were of hugely different sizing and ownership, the two largest being Pokohu D (8980 acres) and Pokohu B2 (4105.7 acres). Areas of the Valley were also utilised for farming by the Duffy and Edwards families. In the early 1960's the one dwelling that was on Māori land was on Pokohu B3B2 block and belonged to the Edwards family. The Edwards were one of the last to leave the Valley.

The meeting was attended by 350 Māori landowners and their prospective successors, senior officers from Treasury, Māori Affairs, Lands and Survey, NZ Forest Service and officials from Tasman Pulp and Paper. The joint venture afforestation proposal outlined that the three parties (Māori landowners, Tasman and the Crown) form a company to develop a pine forest of 24,281 hectares on a total area of 30,776 hectares. The meeting approved the scheme in principle, however while the proposal was straight forward for Tasman and the Crown who were single entities, there were 4,500 Māori landowners and a means had to be found to treat these owners as one legal entity. The Māori land titles were to be amalgamated to one title, Tarawera No.1, which would be transferred to Tarawera Forests Limited. Meeting held at Kokohinau Marae, Te Teko in 1965. 6 Hui o ngā rangatira MEETING OF OWNERS A special sitting of the Māori Land Court was then held over four days commencing on 2 August 1966 in Whakatāne to hear the Registrar’s recommendations on the amalgamation of the Māori land titles. The proposal was approved in principle on 19 August 1966 and the court authorised the Māori Trustee to negotiate the basis for making the Māori land available for afforestation. In June 1967 the Māori Trustee completed its investigation into the scheme and stated that the proposal was fair and reasonable in relation to Māori land.

Sedimentation and Drainage History, Tarawera River System Operations Publication 2004/03 Environment Bay of Plenty iii Executive Summary Haroharo caldera has been formed by the coalescence of multiple collapse structures over the last 350 kyr, the latest major collapse accompanying voluminous rhyolite pyroclastic eruptions at ~50 ka. The caldera has formed a sink for precipitation on surrounding catchments, with overflow via the Tarawera River through the Whakatane graben to the sea at ~30 km to NE. Lakes have probably always occupied at least part of the caldera floor, but the early lacustrine history is largely obscured by younger eruptives. Since 26 ka, the Haroharo, Okareka, Rotoma and Tarawera volcanic complexes have grown within the caldera during eleven eruption episodes, confining ten lakes on the caldera margins. Growth of the volcanic complexes has greatly altered drainage paths and ponding areas within and marginal to the caldera, so that the present ~700 km2 caldera catchment area is about half the ~1400 km2 area that drained into the caldera between 26 ka and 9.5 ka.
