Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Report for a Historic Place, List No. 5120 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purpose of this report The purpose of this report is to provide evidence to support the inclusion of Onekaka Ironworks Quarries and Hydro-electric Power Scheme in the New Zealand Heritage List/Rārangi Kōrero as a Category 2 historic place. Summary Parapara maunga, the iron-oxide ores it contains, and its rivers, are culturally significant to the tangata whenua of Te Tau Ihu, including hau kāinga Ngāti Tama ki Te Tau Ihu, Ngāti Rārua and Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-a-Māui. The Onekaka Ironworks Quarries and Hydro-electric Power Scheme, built in 1922 and 1929, has historical, technological, and archaeological significance as a physical link to an ambitious iron mining and smelting scheme. Although this undertaking ultimately proved uneconomic, the remains of the scheme’s infrastructure are a rare physical reminder of its impact on the locality. People have inhabited Mohua (Golden Bay) for many centuries, valuing its climate and resources, including kōkōwai (red ochre), obtained from the foothills of Parapara, a maunga of great cultural importance to tangata whenua. The mineral richness of the Onekaka-Parapara hills was also recognised by early colonists, who moved quickly to secure this resource for the Crown. The Onakaka Iron and Steel Company was formed in 1920, consolidating various earlier mining leases that had not been fully realised.1 Fifty men were employed to construct smelting works on a terrace to the west of State Highway 60. The plant was fully operational by 1924, producing bars of pig iron suitable for making railway irons, stoves and pipes. The company infrastructure stretched from the hills to the coast at the Onekaka Inlet. Limonite (iron ore) and limestone were mined from open-face quarries in the foothills; workers lived on site in huts. Then an aerial ropeway carried buckets 2.4 kilometres downhill to the ironworks. The raw materials were crushed, washed, mixed with coke produced on site, and smelted in a blast furnace. Good transport routes were necessary to get machinery and coal to the works, and the smelted iron products from there to domestic and international markets. A wharf was constructed at Onekaka Inlet and a tramline ran 2.6 kilometres directly from the wharf to the ironworks. In 1928-29, near to the quarries, a hydro-electric scheme consisting of a 10-metre-high concrete arch dam on the Onekaka 1 Note the difference in the spelling of the company name from the spelling of the place name. Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Report for a Historic Place, List No. 5120 3 River, a 1.25-kilometre-long penstock, and a powerhouse containing a Boving Pelton wheel, was built to fuel the ironworks’ new pipe-making plant. The ironworks were a major employer in the area, and with over 81,000 tons of iron produced between 1922 and 1935, hopes were high for an enduring industry. However, ultimately the enterprise proved uneconomic, and the company was placed into receivership in 1931 before closure in 1935. Government efforts to revive the Onekaka industry ceased in 1954. The ironworks were dismantled, and bush reclaimed the quarries and the workers’ camp. However, the hydro-electric power scheme continued to be useful. The Golden Bay Electric Power Board utilised it to meet increased demand between 1937 and 1944, before the Cobb Dam was opened. In 2003 the dam gained a new lease of life when it was resurrected by Onekaka Energy Company Ltd, and it continues to supply power to the national grid. 1. IDENTIFICATION2 1.1.

Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is an autonomous Crown Entity with statutory responsibility under the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 (HNZPTA) for the identification, protection, preservation, and conservation of New Zealand’s historical and cultural heritage. 2. Heritage New Zealand received an application for resource consent dated 4 August 2020, applied for by Conrad Anderson of Anderson & Co Resource Management on behalf of Maniototo Health Services Ltd, for the proposed demolition of the former Maniototo Hospital at 51 Tyrone Street, Ranfurly. The application did not include an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) and processing was put on hold until additional information was supplied. 3. An updated application including an AEE was provided on 22 September 2020. The AEE lacked detail required under the Central Otago District Plan to assess the potential adverse effects of the proposed demolition and Heritage New Zealand advised it was unable to provide written approval at this time. An updated application was provided on 26 November 2020 which included further detail regarding the heritage significance, structural integrity and potential for adaptive reuse of the hospital. Heritage New Zealand considered that the adverse effects on heritage values would be more than minor and advised the applicant that written approval unable to be provided. On 1 July 2021, the applicant offered conditions to mitigate the adverse effects of the proposed demolition which formed part of their application.
