  • Nga Pakanga O Aotearoa
    Beginnings - The New Zealand Wars were fought between 1845 and Nga Pakanga 1872. They were about who controlled the country and who owned the land. When Europeans arrived, Māori had already been in Aotearoa for more than five hundred years. New Zealand may have looked wild and uninhabited to the o Aotearoa first Europeans, but this was misleading. Every part of THE NEW ZEALAND WARS the country was divided among iwi, hapū, and whānau. In each place, someone had the right to grow kūmara, by Ross Calman gather fern-root, take birds or timber, or catch fish. Organised groups of settlers started arriving in New Zealand shortly after the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. Most of these people came from the British Isles in search of a better life. At first, they lived in a handful of small coastal towns: Auckland, Wellington, Whanganui, Nelson, and New Plymouth. Māori outnumbered Pākehā, and British power and influence over the country was limited. Then, less than five years after the treaty was signed, a Māori leader decided to put British power to the test. Kororāreka around 1835 (at the time, ▲ New Zealand’s largest European settlement) The Treaty of Waitangi ▼ In the nineteenth century, a handful of Māori tribes fought a series of wars against the might of the British Empire – the world’s largest superpower at the time.

In order to do this the Council has commenced a project called ‘Waipa 2050’, a key component of which is a ‘District Growth Strategy’ to identify the community’s vision and plan for growth. The Waipa District has been growing quickly and the Council has been struggling to keep pace with recent levels of growth. The Council is now trying to identify the vision for the District and decide how development in Waipa will be actively provided for and managed in a sustainable, integrated and staged manner. The District Growth Strategy will support Waipa’s goal of being the Home of Champions – creating an environment which is a great place to live, work and play. It will do this by: n Valuing what makes Waipa a special place and identifying actions or activities to protect and enhance these. n Defining the pattern for future growth of settlements in the district (as opposed to growth being market driven) n Integrating growth with cost-effective infrastructure provision The Waipa 2050 project is being prepared at the same time as a broader growth strategy is being prepared for the Hamilton sub-region. That project, called ‘Future Proof’, includes the Waipa and Waikato District’s, Hamilton City and the Morrinsville area. The Hamilton sub-regional area as a whole is predicted to increase its population by 200,000 people in the next 50 years.
