Not many have had that pleasure – the bird’s secretive and nocturnal habits means it remains a bit of a mystery to most. For that reason it is always a real pleasure to host Sparky the one-legged kiwi and his carer Robert Webb, who each year fly from Whangarei to Taranaki and visit selected schools so children (and their parents) can meet a real-life kiwi. So thank you Robert, for continuing to annually visit Taranaki with your special bird, Sparky. And our thanks also to Greymouth Petroleum for your sponsorship help. Cost. That’s our ongoing challenge. Our sanctuary in east Taranaki is 13,000ha in size – that’s half the size of Egmont National Park – and it costs about $45 per hectare to maintain predator control out there. Being a community project we spend a lot of time applying for grants and fundraising. With that as background, we were delighted to be the recipient of money raised at a fantastic evening and art auction at New Zealand House in London. I attended the event, and I was humbled by the way expatriate New Zealanders were prepared to put their hands in their pockets in support of what we are endeavouring to achieve in our isolated part of the world 18,500 km away. We have seen some staff changes with Brent moving on. His marketing background enabled us to Experience Pūrangi chair Karen Schumacher re-brand to reflect the wider work we are involved with. We wish him well in his future endeavours. Sparky loves meeting Taranaki children We love hosting Sparky! he admires what is being achieved by the team at Sparky the famous one-legged kiwi has just paid another Experience Pūrangi. visit to Taranaki, and once again he charmed the “It’s very impressive.

Sparky was brought to the centre in 2002 after he had been caught in a gin trap – that’s why he has only one leg. He’s now a star, travelling with Robert to selected parts of New Zealand to meet members of the public. For most people, this is the first time they will have seen and been able to touch a kiwi. Sparky and Robert have travelled to Taranaki seven times now as our guest. This time around they visited primary schools at Lepperton, Urenui and Omata, and attended a function at our office in Inglewood. Robert says it is vitally important to the future of kiwi that Sparky gets to meet as many children as possible. “Our children are the next generation, and they will be the New Zealanders responsible for the conservation of our native birds and their habitats,” he says. Sparky gets fed a worm during his visit to Lepperton School Robert especially likes to visit Taranaki because Karen Schumacher, Karl Burrows, Experience Pūrangi trustee Gavin One of Experience Pūrangi’s Kōkako Faull, and his son Edward Faull, at the London fundraiser We’re checking how our London event raises funds Kōkako are faring for Pūrangi Last year we were blessed with the arrival of 20 North Island Karl Burrows lives in London, but he maintains a strong Kōkako, they were caught on Hauturu (Little Barrier Island) personal connection with his home region of Pūrangi, and then transported to Taranaki and released into the Pouiatoa especially his Ngati Maru Iwi.

The month is promoted by Kiwis for Kiwi, which is a national charity that supports community groups who are active in kiwi protection. One special event during the month will be what is known as The Great Kiwi Morning Tī, which is scheduled for Thursday, October 31. You can help us to make a difference by supporting this event.

We thought we would give you an update about our named kiwi and what being transmitted means. At our conservation area in Pūrangi, east of Inglewood, there are nine special kiwis. Their names are Rosa, Baccy, Trev, Nahe, Titoko, Kotikara, Redwood, Murf and Bertrand. They’re all special because they are the birds that carry transmitters on their legs so they can be electronically monitored by Experience Pūrangi’s staff and volunteers. The kiwis are being monitored not only to keep track of their whereabouts, activities and their health, but also to find out if they are doing something else - incubating an egg or two. While it is the female that lays the egg, with Western Brown kiwis it is the male that incubates it for around 75 days until the chick hatches.

This late matter related to the proposed purchase of land adjoining a current development project. The reasons why it was not on the agenda and why the discussion of the item could not be delayed until a subsequent meeting are as follows: • The land had only been confirmed as being available for purchase after the agenda was publicly released. • Any delay in finalising negotiations with the land owner, will likely result in there being insufficient time to complete the redesign and construction of works on an adjacent site. Section 46(A)(7) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, permits this item to be determined at the said meeting.

  • A Report Commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Taranaki
    A Report Commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Taranaki Claim (Wai 143) Concerning Kumara Kaiamo Pa and Associated Lands of Ngati Mutunga at Urenui by Brian Bargh December 1995 Any conclusions drawn or opinions expressed are tltose of tlte writer Introduction Ngati Mutunga are an iwi descended from the original inhabitants of the Urenui area who had merged with people who arrived on the Tokomaru waka in about 1350 AD.I Their tribal area is in northern Taranaki centred on Urenui (see Figure 1). Their grievance is that their land was confiscated in the 1860s by the Crown contrary to the Treaty ofWaitangi. They presented evidence to this effect to the Waitangi Tribunal in 1991 and had prepared a report at that time on their claim. Ngati Mutunga in their evidence raised the question of their pa at Urenui known as Kumara Kaiamo. They claim that this is an important wahl tapu and that it was confiscated by the Crown and never returned.2 The purpose of this report is to investigate claims made by Ngati Mutunga regarding Kumara Kaiamo pa in order that the Waitangi Tribunal can determine whether or not the Crown was in breach of Treaty principles with respect to the alienation of that land. The Waitangi Tribunal commission for this report is attached as Appendix I. The N gati Mutunga Claim Ngati Mutunga are joint claimants with other Taranaki hapu in Waitangi Tribunal claim Wai 143. Their claim is in essence that the Crown breached the Treaty ofWaitangi by firstly using the military to attack Taranaki Maori in order to obtain their land and later enacting the NZ Settlements Act 1863 which provided for the confiscation of land of any Maori who was deemed to be in rebellion.
