Outstanding water bodies have an essence within them that provide for wairua and mauri. This hā supports these water bodies in their ability to provide kai, provide resources and heal the body and spirit. Ngā Mahi a ngā The interaction of mana whenua with fresh and coastal waters for mana whenua Tūpuna purposes. This includes the cultural and spiritual relationship with water expressed through mana whenua practices, recreation and the harvest of natural materials for mana whenua purposes. This also includes ancestral connections to the land passed down by tūpuna and whakapapa. Te Mahi Kai Places where mana whenua manage and collect food and resources and undertake activities to uphold tikanga Māori. This is not only about the bounty collected but the transmission of knowledge through the act of collection. Wāhi Whakarite Sites and places where particular practices and activities take place. These are often places that have been used for centuries that require a specific environment. These practices differ from day to day activities outlined above in Ngā Mahi a ngā Tūpuna. These include very important and often restricted activities that are undertaken by Māori that have been used for centuries. Te Mana o te Tangata Many water bodies are recognised by their neighbours as being of particular value to not only those that hold rangatiratanga of a water body but also to those who interact and rely on their neighbours for certain resources. In this case a requirement could be the support or endorsement by another iwi. This would provide an opportunity for whānaungatanga and mutual mana enhancement. Te Manawaroa o te Some water bodies have sustained intense pollution over a long period of time. In many Wai cases these water bodies are seen as having a level of resilience unseen in other water entities. In the minds of tangata whenua the restoration of many of these water bodies provides an excitement. The potential of particular outstanding water bodies provides a special opportunity for iwi to be able to once again provide their guests with kai-rangatira, relearn practices of the past, and identify themselves with a water body that will be healthy. Te Mana o te Wai Some water bodies of our region are inherently connected to our identity and the mana of the area. Te Whanganui a Tara and Wairarapa Moana are two outstanding examples of this relationship. Wāhi Mahara Wāhi mahara are places of learning and where local knowledge and histories are etched in the landscape. These are essentially a place that was central to intergenerational knowledge transmission of our tūpuna, and could be used as such again in our future.

  • Historical Snapshot of Porirua
    HISTORICAL SNAPSHOT OF PORIRUA This report details the history of Porirua in order to inform the development of a ‘decolonised city’. It explains the processes which have led to present day Porirua City being as it is today. It begins by explaining the city’s origins and its first settlers, describing not only the first people to discover and settle in Porirua, but also the migration of Ngāti Toa and how they became mana whenua of the area. This report discusses the many theories on the origin and meaning behind the name Porirua, before moving on to discuss the marae establishments of the past and present. A large section of this report concerns itself with the impact that colonisation had on Porirua and its people. These impacts are physically repre- sented in the city’s current urban form and the fifth section of this report looks at how this development took place. The report then looks at how legislation has impacted on Ngāti Toa’s ability to retain their land and their recent response to this legislation. The final section of this report looks at the historical impact of religion, particularly the impact of Mormonism on Māori communities. Please note that this document was prepared using a number of sources and may differ from Ngati Toa Rangatira accounts. MĀORI SETTLEMENT The site where both the Porirua and Pauatahanui inlets meet is called Paremata Point and this area has been occupied by a range of iwi and hapū since at least 1450AD (Stodart, 1993). Paremata Point was known for its abundant natural resources (Stodart, 1993).

  • Paremata Village Plan 2012
    Paremata Village Plan 2012 1 Introduction It’s my very great pleasure to introduce this first edition of the Paremata Village Plan, covering the suburbs of Paremata (which now includes Mana) and Papakowhai. Our plan has been developed in accordance with the Porirua City Council (PCC) Village Planning Programme, an award-winning Council initiative to improve and develop Porirua’s suburban communities through work programmes developed in partnership with the people of those communities. For further information on the Village Planning Programme please go to the PCC Website www.pcc.govt.nz and search under Community, Village Planning. I would like to thank on your behalf the PCC Villages Programme manager Ian Barlow and his team for all the work they have done to get this plan off the ground. My thanks in particular to Jenny Lester, who has been our liaison person and has taken on most of the development work including running surveys of residents to build a picture of what we want our ‘village’ to look like in future. A huge thank you to the 300+ residents who participated in the concept, development, content and comments used in this plan. Here is our template for that vision, now it’s up to us all to contribute to making that vision a reality. Terry Knight President Paremata Residents Association Vision Statement Paremata – where community and environment are in harmony, protecting the best of what we have and embracing the best of what’s new. About Paremata The area covered by the Paremata Residents Association takes in several suburbs; Paremata, Papakowhai, Mana and a section of Camborne.

  • Paremata Residents Association Presentation to TGP Board of Inquiry – 6 March 2012
    Paremata Residents Association Presentation to TGP Board of Inquiry – 6 March 2012 1. My name is Russell Morrison and I am the Vice-President of the Paremata Residents Association which covers an area of about 2,100 households encompassing Papakowhai, Paremata, Golden Gate, Mana and part of Camborne. I have lived in residences right next to the Pauatahanui Inlet and used the harbour in many different ways since the age of two when my family moved to Browns Bay in January 1950. 2. Our Association strongly supports the TGP and has been prepared to go to the Environment Court on three occasions in the past to ensure, directly or indirectly, that TGP stayed on the books. We are asking, however, that the Board consider imposing conditions in a number of areas. Adverse Impacts on the Harbour 3. Our submission mentions our concerns about the harbour but does not go into much detail, opting instead simply to endorse the recommendations of the Pauatahanui Inlet Community Trust (PICT) entirely. I would like to elaborate on our views here. - Sedimentation 4. Quite a number of our members have lived next to the Porirua Harbour for many years. We recall the controversy when the initial Whitby subdivision was pouring sediment out onto the beach opposite what is now Postgate Drive. Many still mention the promises about retaining tidal flows when the highway was extended and the lagoons created between Porirua and Paremata. We remember the learned debates which took place when the National Roads Board proposed putting a 6 lane motorway on a causeway along the Dolly Varden beach and up through Camborne.

  • Is It Safe to Swim in Porirua?
    Is it safe to swim in Porirua? Greater Wellington Regional Council and local councils monitor some of the Wellington region’s most popular beaches and rivers to determine their suitability for recreational activities such as swimming. We monitor eleven coastal sites in the Porirua area. The results from this monitoring are compared to national guidelines and used to calculate an overall grade for each site. Results from the 2014/15 summer season Recreational water quality in Porirua is quite variable with most sites having an overall grade of ‘C’. The best sites are at Karehana and Onehunga bays. These sites have an overall grade of ‘B’ and the Karehana Bay site met the guideline for safe swimming on all occasions. The worst sites were at the southern ends of Plimmerton Beach and Titahi Bay, and Te Awarua o Porirua Harbour at the Rowing Club. These sites recorded high bacterial counts on one occasion during the 2014/15 summer and have an overall grade of ‘D’. Very low risk of illness 0% Low risk 18% (2 sites) B Moderate risk 55% C (6 sites) Caution 27% (3 sites) D Unsuitable for swimming 0% In the Porirua area, 2 sites (18%) are graded ‘B’, 6 sites (55%) are graded ‘C’ and 3 sites (27%) are graded ‘D’. WAIT TWO DAYS AFTER RAIN before you swim again… Water quality at Porirua beaches is at its worst after heavy rain. Rain flushes contaminants from urban and rural land into water and we advise people not to swim for two days after heavy rain – even if a site generally has good water quality.

Stu Farrant Te Awarua-o-Porirua Whaitua Committee Chair Foreword from Te Awarua-o-Porirua Whaitua Committee Chair Like most areas of New Zealand, the communities within the Te Awarua-o-Porirua catchment have been defined by their intimate relationship with water. Early Māori established kāinga (villages) to utilise transformation of the catchment has been a steady the abundant mahinga kai (food harvested from decline in the quality of fresh and coastal waters and the streams, estuary and land) and other resources, the health of ecosystems. Contaminants are flushed travel routes and to seek protection from invaders. from urban and rural land and aging infrastructure Early European development rapidly spread struggles to serve the demands of a growing along the catchment’s streams and relied on the population, with overflows of wastewater a common reclamation of tidal margins for rail and road links occurrence during large rainfall events.

  • Village Plan 2013 2
    Whitby Residents’ Association Village Plan 2013 2. Whitby Residents’ Association Village Plan 2013 Introduction from the Whitby Residents’ Association… “We are pleased to present the 2013 update of our village plan. Village planning is a process which allows us to look at ways in which we can make Whitby a better place to live in. “This revise allowed us to look at what progress had been made with the previous 2009 plan, what remained to be done and what new ideas we had for improving Whitby, and ensuring that we have a village which we can enjoy and be proud of. “This plan includes, for the first time, the residential estate of Silverwood. This estate of about 200 sections has been developed over the past two years, and is now gaining pace. The residents of this area will be using the community facilities of Whitby, and the potential growth of this area will impact on demand for development, particularly in the eastern end of Whitby. “Of course we understand that funding will always be an issue, and we cannot have everything we want immediately, but the projects contained in our 2013 wish list certainly give us some options. There are projects big and small there, and the important thing for our association and our community, is that we have a plan which can be progressed as the opportunity and funding allows. “I hope you enjoy reading our plan, and you support our aims and objectives. The Association is an active one, and we need the support our community to ensure that we achieve the best outcomes for the people of Whitby.” Geoff Mowday Chairman Whitby Residents’ Association March 2013 Whitby Residents’ Association Village Plan 2013 3.
