The growth strategy covers the long-term development of our District as a whole. It requires us to manage the District’s urban growth by directing future development predominantly to our main towns, while limiting expansion of the smaller rural villages. The town strategies give further consideration to the urban component of the District’s growth strategy. They will guide the planning and future development of the three main towns in the Matamata-Piako District: Morrinsville, Matamata, and Te Aroha. The strategies are long-term (twenty-year plus) town plans. They provide a spatial framework for Morrinsville the development of each town in terms of the preferred location of future land-uses, and the integration of the land-uses with transport and other infrastructure.

  • A Collection of Communities…. One Community Plan
    1 A collection of communities…. One Community Plan for Eureka, Matangi, Newstead & Tauwhare 2013 - 2023 2 Contents page Introduction 3 Eureka Ward map 4 Community Plan achievements 5 Community Outcomes 7 Long Term Plan priority projects 9 Eureka Community 11 Matangi Community 18 Newstead Community 28 Tauwhare Community 35 Where to from here? 42 Committee contacts 42 3 Introduction In the1800s Hamilton was a mere village compared with settlements such as Napier, New Plymouth, Whanganui and Nelson. By 1911 its population was 3,542 – a little over half the size of Waihī, then a booming gold town of 6,436 people. Before Waikato dairy farming developed, Hamilton remained small. On the outskirts of Hamilton were huge swamps, which were drained only slowly. Militia settlers allocated land there usually departed, but some stayed, and farming settlements like Newstead, Tamahere and Matangi developed in the 1870s and 1880s. The Rukuhia estate of 6,000 hectares to the south-west and the Eureka estate of 35,000 hectares to the north-east were gradually subdivided. Tauwhare was surveyed in 1882, and the villages of Eureka and Gordonton grew from the 1890s. Today those farming settlements have evolved to form a transition between Hamilton City and the more rural areas within the Waikato District. In the Eureka Ward those areas include Eureka, Matangi, Newstead and Tauwhare. It is these four areas that this Community Plan focuses on. History of the Plans During 2004 through to 2007 Eureka, Matangi, Newstead and Tauwhare all developed community plans, to provide a clear direction for the future development of their communities.

    Part Five: Reserve Information 5.0 PART FIVE: RESERVE INFORMATION 5.1 HISTORIC RESERVES 5.1.1 GOLD DREDGING HISTORIC RESERVE Reserve Description The historic reserve accommodates the concrete ruins, mostly foundation, of what was the Waihi Gold Dredging Plant. The dredging company started work in 1900 to extract ore from within the Ohinemuri River bed adjacent to Lot 11 DPS 308287. The Historical Places Trust has placed (2006) the site in its historic places register. The reserve was created from a subdivision undertaken by Council when it created a number of lifestyle blocks from land it had acquired initially as a site for wastewater treatment; the land was not required as a treatment facility. The site today is grassed over, some of the area has been modified by farming practises over the years, and it is currently grazed by a neighbouring landowner Access to the reserve can be made over a ROW off the end of Lawrence road or by a Waitete stream bank walk off the end of Dean Crescent, an industrial estate off SH2. Location The Lawrence Road, historic reserve is situated at the confluence of the Ohinemuri River and the Waitete Stream on the south western end of Waihi Township. Purpose of the reserve The purpose is to preserve a historic site and allow for future development of the reserve. Use The reserve attracts minimal visitors use at present but will increase as proposed walkways are created by Waihi Walkways Group. Legal Description Lot 11 DPS 308287 Area: 0.29ha Classification Subject to Section 8 Mining Act 1971, to Section 168A Coal Mines Act 1925 and the Reserve Act 1977.

  • A Tribute to Our Pioneering Families FOREWORD
    A tribute to our pioneering families FOREWORD SOME four years ago the cover of our monthly newsletter, the Eureka Express, depicted the first of a series of sketches of some of the district’s oldest homes which are still standing. From the research required to background these sketches the idea grew that it was time a more complete history of Eureka was recorded. However, the task proved far too time-consuming for our committee of busy wives and mothers. We needed a full-time journalist and, fortunately, two years ago one became available for nearly six months through a Labour Department scheme. We gained the services of Meena David, a qualified and experienced journalist just back from an overseas trip, whose sterling efforts saw our book take shape before she returned to Auckland to resume her career in journalism. Since then there has been a prolonged effort by part-time volunteers to complete the detail and prepare the text for publication. A debt of gratitude is owed Chris Irvine for his countless hours of research into Eureka’s titleholders and for his preparation of the accompanying maps to this section of the book. i Our sincere thanks for financial assistance must go to the MEENA DAVID Waikato Savings Bank, the Waikato County Council, the N.Z. Lottery Board and the Eureka Cull Cow Committee. MEENA DAVID was born in Madras, India, and educated there and in New Zealand. She graduated with a Bachelor of The assembling of this history has involved interesting Social Science from Waikato University, Hamilton, and later research and renewal of past contacts.
