Executive As we reflect on the 2018/19 year, it is encouraging to see we’ve had another busy but successful year with many significant projects being progressed. This annual report looks back at the first year of our recently adopted 2018- 28 long term plan. This report also marks the last full financial year for some of our elected members; councillors James Thorp, Gill Leonard, Don Swales, Max McLean and Austin Rattray we thank you for your hard work and service to your community. Congratulations to our new elected members, Rino Wilkinson, Jo Tilsley, Ray Broad, Rodney Garrett, Paul Anderson, Brian Gentil and Sara Howell for being successful for the first time in the 2019 elections and to Carole Daley, Paul Milner, Phillip Buckthought, Ross Harris, Duncan Smeaton and Anne-Marie Spicer for their re-election as Councillors and to Toby Adams for his election as Mayor. The role of the elected member is often underestimated and we thank and appreciate the time and energy put in by these individuals for the good of our district. During 2018/19 we conducted a review of the district’s representation with the resulting decision of the Local Government Commission being that the Waihi ward would have five councillors instead of four in the upcoming 2019 triennial elections. The Paeroa and Plains wards will continue to elect four councillors each. As part of the long term plan engagement process we asked the community for its views on a new Ngatea library and service centre, or whether an upgrade to the current facilities would be a better option. This proved to be a hot topic for the community and we’ve worked through this further during 2018/19, with more engagement taking place. We asked what people wanted in an upgraded community space, how it would look and feel, and what services it needs to provide. The Council decided that the Ngatea Library and Service Centre will stay in the existing council building which may include building additions and alterations at the current

  • Maori Land in Hauraki
    MAORI LAND IN HAURAKI Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 12 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 MAORI LAND IN HAURAKI Abstract: Imagining the Hauraki Peninsula to contain payable goldfields and knowing that land to the south of Thames had great agricultural potential, Pakeha were determined to acquire it, and were frustrated by what was considered to be ‘Maori intransigence’. For their part, Maori landowners were justifiably concerned about losing their land, and hindered and delayed opening it to settlement for as long as possible. A major difficulty for officials seeking to acquire land was how to determine boundaries between different blocks and how to identify the true owners when there were rival claims put forward by hapu and individuals. Land purchase agents used a variety of means to get blocks through the land court and then to individualize the title, notably the controversial ‘raihana’ policy, which benefited some landowners at the expense of others. The expensive legal process involved often forced those who had proved their ownership to sell land to pay for their success, a success which resulted in grantees treating the land as their personal property rather than tribal property. Some Pakeha as well as many Maori protested at the unfair process; even James Mackay, the most effective practitioner of raihana, came to lament his success and its consequences for the younger generation of Maori (he blamed the system, not himself).
