  • Te Rimu Tahi, Ponsonby Road Masterplan
    Te Rimu Tahi Ponsonby Road Masterplan - Maori Heritage Report June 2013 Ngarimu Blair for Auckland Council 1 1. Introduction The Waitemata Local Board and representatives from a number of community groups (supported by Auckland Council and Auckland Transport) are working together to develop a Master Plan for Ponsonby Road. The Ponsonby Road Master Plan will present a comprehensive blue print for improvement to the urban realm of Ponsonby Road over the next 30 years. The Master Plan will be prepared following a ‘complete street/ living arterial’ approach. The Master Plan is intended to facilitate the achievement of an urban realm that better meets the community's desired outcomes in the future. The Auckland Council commissioned this report on Maori heritage values and opportunities from Ngarimu Blair in order to better engage with relevant Iwi for the project area. The Iwi listed by Auckland Council for this project includes Ngati Te Ata, Te Aakitai, Ngati Whatua Orakei, Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua, Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Ngati Maru, Ngati Paoa and Te Kawerau a Maki. Specifically the brief for this report is; Background research to identify areas of past (pre-European) Maori Occupation, Use and activity within the Ponsonby Road Master Plan study area; Background research to identify the more recent history of Urban Maori activity within the Ponsonby Road Master Plan study area; and Preparation of a short report outlining the findings of this research, which specifically provides: (1) an historic context statement; (2) a short issues analysis that identifies high-level positive, negative, and neutral issues (with regard to cultural heritage) and gaps in information that could not be filled through research or within the timeframe; and (3) recommendations for preservation, protection or celebration of the cultural heritage.

Dashper graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Auckland in 1982. He has exhibited widely in New Zealand, Australia, and Europe since 1980. His major New Zealand exhibitions include, Julian Dashper’s Greatest Hits, Govett Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, 1992; The Big Bang Theory, Artspace, 1994; and The Twist, Waikato Museum of Art and History, 1998. Much of Dashper’s work concerns the connections between abstract art and popular culture. One of his themes is the reading of international modernism in New Zealand art, and how in New Zealand we know the great modernist works largely through reproduction. Another is the canon – the list of artists regarded by the culture as great. The Big Bang Theory for instance puts the names of major New Zealand regional artists on drumkits, as though they were rock bands. In 2001 Dashper was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and was the artist-in- residence at the Donald Judd Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.

Maps were scanned rotated and scaled according to tags on individual plans, or were placed according to coincidence with existing road networks and the known his- toric coastline. Distortion was inevitable since historic maps were often stylised, never orthocorrected, and often poorly surveyed. Other reference material included historic photographs, historic aerial photography, allotment maps from the 19th cen- tury, focus site plans and early city planning documents.

  • J the Strike Over There Was Substantially Over Wage Rates Which
    I Over recent weeks the involvem ent o f crewmen o f the N Z ship Ngahere in the Strike by Fijian W atersiders has been very much in the news. This series o f events has been used for political capital by both the NZ and Fijian G overnments and unfort­ unately m ost o f the coverage in the N Z press has been concerned with only this side o f the story. Recently D on M ackay spoke with two o f the N gahere ’ c r e w members and got their first hand account of events. This is the first, and possibly the only chance for them to present to the public their account o f events as they saw them . Accordingly it is reproduced below w ithout further com m ent, j edited to a presentable length. The strike over there was substantially over wage rates which in the Islands are disastrously low. We established for instance that in the sugar mill itself wage levels were around $1 per hour and the pressure of the work is extremely hard. The mill itself is outdated and the conditions quite primitive. The exploitation of workers is acute. It’s almost beyond belief when you’re adjusted to NZ living standards and conditions of work.” “The Emperor Gold Mines are extremely deep, some 4000 feet, going down 23 levels. At the lower levels there is volcanic boiling water emerging from the rock face. Each miner needs 2 hoses to continue work, one to cool the drill he is using and one to keep him from dying from overheating.

  • 24 November. 2011 History of 123 Grafton Road
    !" " 24 November. 2011 History of 123 Grafton Road Prepared by Louise Mary Ormsby Contents: Locality - 1 Land - 2 Buildings and grounds - 3 People of interest - 6 Images - 8 Locality Governor William Hobson purchased the Auckland isthmus in 1841. Ngati Whatua chiefs Kawau, Tinana and Reweti Tamaki signed the deed of sale. The first land sales to Pakeha settlers in Auckland took place later in the year. In 1853 land, including what would later become 123 Grafton Road, was granted by the Crown to Augustus Brown Abraham Barrister at Law.1 The Colonial Hospital had opened in Grafton in 1847. In spite of presence of this institution and the public reserve which later became the Auckland Domain the area remained sparsely settled for the next thirty years. The early 1880s were a period of growth for Grafton. This reflected the pattern in the rest of Auckland as new suburbs expanded out from the central city. In 1882 Grafton, up until this time a separate local body, amalgamated with Auckland City. 2 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" !"#$%&'(')*&$"+(",'&-$."/+-0"12."3+-'+"!!40" 1"50"6!."7-++8('$-9":0,0"!"#$%&'()"#*$+,-'./$,0$1*#'2"";'<&+%')*-"=+>%?*-"@>)A-*?9"B*'A*&+."!C"@5%'-"!D4!0" !" " 1" " Increased development led to the construction of a wooden footbridge over Grafton Gully in 1884. This gave better access to the hospital and Domain. By the 1900s the growing number of motor vehicles was putting pressure on city roads. The City Council decided to build the existing bridge across the Grafton Gully. This was completed by 1910. Due to its position immediately on the south east corner of the bridge 123 Grafton Road was purchased by Auckland City Council.

  • Karangahape Road Streetscape Enhancement Project
    Karangahape Road Streetscape Enhancement Project Public feedback received in late February and early March 2016. In late February and early March 2016 the Karangahape Road Streetscape Enhancement Project Team invited feedback from the public to find out what people love about K Road, and how they would make it even better. The project team set up a stall and displays inviting feedback at the Myers Park Medley and White Night events. Members of the public were asked to tell the team (by way of sticky notes on a large map of Karangahape Road) what they love about K Road, and what they would do to make it even better. Additionally, feedback was invited via an online feedback form. In total 368 comments were received, the key themes resulting from this feedback are outlined below. More detailed examples of feedback received and the project team’s responses are provided on the next page.
