  • TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES of the TRAIL: This Trail Will Take About Four Hours to Drive and View at an Easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA Pace
    WELLINGTON’S TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES OF THE TRAIL: This trail will take about four hours to drive and view at an easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA pace. Vantage points are mostly accessible by wheelchair but there are steps at some sites such as Rangitatau and Uruhau pa. A Pou (carved post), a rock or an information panel mark various sites on the trail. These sites have been identified with a symbol. While the trail participants will appreciate that many of the traditional sites occupied by Maori in the past have either been built over or destroyed, but they still have a strong spiritual presence. There are several more modern Maori buildings such as Pipitea Marae and Tapu Te Ranga Marae, to give trail participants a selection of Maori sites through different periods of history. ABOUT THE TRAIL: The trail starts at the Pipitea Marae in Thorndon Quay, opposite the Railway Station, and finishes at Owhiro Bay on the often wild, southern coast of Wellington. While not all the old pa, kainga, cultivation and burial sites of Wellington have been included in this trail, those that are have been selected for their accessibility to the public, and their viewing interest. Rock Pou Information panel Alexander Turnbull Library The Wellington City Council is grateful for the significant contribution made by the original heritage Trails comittee to the development of this trail — Oroya Day, Sallie Hill, Ken Scadden and Con Flinkenberg. Historical research: Matene Love, Miria Pomare, Roger Whelan Author: Matene Love This trail was developed as a joint project between Wellingtion City Council, the Wellington Tenths Trust and Ngati Toa.

  • Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver)
    Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver) Captain C.W. Mein Smith's original map "Plan of the Town of Wellington, Port Nicholson, 14 August 1840" For the New Zealand Company established the basic street structure for Mount Victoria. Whereas southern Mount Victoria was an extension of the Te Aro flat grid street pattern, the steepness of the land in northern Mount Victoria, dictated some alteration to the grid pattern. The original streets of the suburb were Majoribanks, Pirie and Ellice in the east west direction, Brougham and Austin Streets and Kent Terrace in the north south direction, with Roxburgh, Mcfarlane, and Hawker streets and Clyde Quay in the northern area. The map also shows the proposed canal route along to the Basin and Hawker street going over the hill and joining onto Oriental Terrace, now Oriental Parade. Approximately 36 acres were surveyed and defined in the northern area. Initial building development was haphazard as some acres had been purchased by land speculators. Thomas Ward's 1891 Survey of Wellington map shows the number of streets and pedestrian lanes in Mount Victoria had increased from 10 to 27, and by 1933 there were 47. Studying the Street maps and examining the Wises Directories gives a good indication of the development of the streets. These streets were at varying widths, including pedestrian lanes, and resulted from the haphazard subdivision of the original acres and the peculiarities of local topography. Some streets began as small private pedestrian lanes, which were only taken over by the Council at a much later date.

  • Te Aro Park, Actions Taken to Date and Potential Solutions
    Executive Summary This report outlines safety concerns within Te Aro Park, actions taken to date and potential solutions. The numbers of events associated with social harm, occurring within the park are consistently higher in Te Aro Park than other central city parks. In order to improve safety within Te Aro Park the report outlines a number of options to address these issues, which have been categorised into projects for possible implementation over short, medium and long term and are outlined below. Short Term - as at January 2020 • Increased maintenance of the park – inclusion of Te Aro Park in the Central City Cleaning contract. • Removal of the canopy between the two toilet blocks and addition of directional lighting. • Lighting changes o If the canopy between the two toilets is not removed, additional lighting should be installed. o Vertical lighting should be installed on the Opera House side to improve night-time flow and a more defined route. o Lighting should also be added to the murals on the toilet building to increase attention to the artwork. o Lights should be added to the canopy of the Oaks building o Canopy lighting should be added to the tree. • Remove Spark phone booth as it creates blind spots and concealments. • Installing pedestrian crossings into both Manners and Dixon street to improve safe access to the park • Increase patrols to the Te Aro Park area during the hours of high activity and high social harm - this includes Police, Local Hosts and Maori Wardens • Improve guardianship of the park by involving businesses and other stakeholders in activity that occurs within the park, with central coordination from Council and intentional place-making Medium Term • Recognise and acknowledge the cultural significance of the park with interpretive signage and revitalise the park into more of a destination.
