I graduated from Victoria University in 1996 with a Masters of Arts, majoring in history. I have been employed by the Tribunal as a commissioned researcher since February 1999. 6 Introduction There are four claims which concern the Matahlna block: (1) Wai 36/386: Tuhoe-Waikaremoana Maori Trust Board (2) Wai 46: Ngati Awa Trust Board (3) Wai 212: Te Runanganui 0 te Ika Whenua (4) Wai 726: Ngati Haka - Patuheuheu claimants Several reports have already been written on different aspects of the history of the Matahina block, and this evidence has been heard by the Tribunal for the Wai 46 enquiry. Tony Walzl and Jeremy Gardiner explore the history of the block up until the 1920s, focusing primarily on the area of the block which was awarded to Ngati Awa. 1 Wiremu Doherty examines the traditional history of Matahina C and C 1, the portion of the block which was awarded to Patuheuheu and Ngati Haka.2 TR Nikora, Marian Porima, Kathy Ertel, and H Martin examine the history of Matahina C and Cl from the time of the first title investigation of the Matahina block in 1881.3 They focus largely on the taking of land for survey charges in 1907. Their conclusions relating to the 1907 taking are contested in a report prepared by John Battersby.4 John Third and L Harvey examine the Tarawera Forest Project.5 Two Maori owned subdivisions of the Matahina block, AID2 and D2, were among the blocks which were amalgamated to form Tarawera 1 in 1966.

  • Kawerau Geothermal System Management Plan
    KAWERAU GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN February 2018 Prepared in Collaboration with Executive Summary The Kawerau Geothermal System is located to the north-east of Kawerau within the Bay of Plenty Region, and partially underlies the township of Kawerau. It has been substantially developed for industrial purposes pursuant to resource consents granted by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). This includes geothermal energy being used for electricity generation, industrial processes (direct heat) and cultural purposes. Bay of Plenty Regional Council has functions under Section 30 of the RMA for the management of geothermal resources. The Bay of Plenty Regional Policy Statement (RPS) requires the preparation of a System Management Plan (SMP) for the Kawerau Geothermal System as a key part of the way in which BOPRC intends to manage the Kawerau Geothermal System. This SMP has been prepared in collaboration with the four consent holders authorised to take more than 1,000 tonnes per day of geothermal fluid from the Kawerau Geothermal System, being: Mercury NZ Limited, Ngāti Tūwharetoa Geothermal Assets Limited, Geothermal Developments Ltd, and Te Ahi O Māui Partnership. Engagement has also been undertaken with tangata whenua and interested and potentially affected parties, including industrial operators using the geothermal resource. The purpose of this SMP is to ensure that the Kawerau Geothermal System is managed in a sustainable manner in accordance with the requirements of the RMA and the relevant policy and planning documents prepared under the RMA. The content anticipated in an SMP is set out in Policy GR7B of the RPS and includes objectives for its overall management and strategies to achieve the objectives The SMP is a non-statutory document and will be periodically reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and fit for purpose.

  • Aspects of the Chronology, Structure and Thermal History of the Kawerau Geothermal Field
    Aspects of the Chronology, Structure and Thermal History of the Kawerau Geothermal Field By Sarah Dawn Milicich A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology Victoria University of Wellington School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Wellington, New Zealand 2013 ii „It is what it is‟ id est quod est J.L. Wooden (pers. comm. 2010) iii iv ABSTRACT The development and management of high-temperature geothermal resources for electrical power generation requires accurate knowledge of the local geological conditions, particularly where they impact on the hydrology of the resource. This study is an integrated programme of work designed to develop new perspectives on the geological and structural framework of the Kawerau geothermal resource as a sound basis for field management. Although the geological approaches and techniques utilised in this study have previously been used, their application to an integrated study of a geothermal system in New Zealand has not been previously undertaken. Correlating volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy in geothermal areas in New Zealand can be challenging due to similarities in lithology and the destruction of distinctive chemical, mineralogical and textural characteristic by hydrothermal alteration. A means to overcoming these issues is to utilise dating to correlate the stratigraphy. Zircons are resistant to the effects of typical hydrothermal conditions and were dated using SIMS techniques (SHRIMP-RG) to retrieve U–Pb ages on zircons. These age data were then used to correlate units across the field, in part aided by correlations to material that had previously been dated from fresh rock by 40Ar/39Ar techniques, and used to redefine the stratigraphic framework for the area.

Some long overdue changes and the impact of two natural disasters in quick succession combined to put intense pressure on the Council’s resources. Our performance suffered in some areas as a result. The new Council, elected October 2004, is smaller with three fewer members, and includes six first- time Councillors who have had a steep learning curve. Despite this, the organisation is laying the foundation for better future performance by putting in place policies that reflect our community's desire for sustainable long-term solutions to the issues that confront us. Work either completed or under way on substantial issues includes rating and financial policies, retail growth, residential, commercial and industrial growth strategies and a transportation study. In some areas such as seal extensions we have deferred work until our policies are more robust. The formation of the Regional Economic Development Agency and joint approaches by local government in the Eastern Bay to issues arising out of our natural disasters demonstrates willingness for the region to work together. There is much to be gained. The body of the report contains detailed commentary on the different activities we undertook in 2004/05.
