A power point presentation was prepared by Commute and presented to the stakeholders. The presentation outlined the purpose of the ITP and the workshop, key problems, strategic responses and action plan areas identified in the draft ITS and the prioritisation process going forward. The presentation slides were sent to all invitees via email on Tuesday 12th November 2019. The workshops primary focus was to draw up a longlist of transport project options addressing the key strategic responses under the 7 Action Plan areas identified in the draft ITS and to explain the process going forward. As part of this process, Commute and FNDC facilitated two group activities with the key stakeholders to gather ideas on possible transport solutions, which then stakeholders were given an opportunity to individually prioritise the transport solutions gathered. The following summarises the possible transport solutions that were discussed and prioritised between stakeholders under each of the 7 Action Plan areas (Activity 1 and Activity 2). Transport solutions prioritised by stakeholders: • Speed limits are too high for the quality of the road (compared to OECD), therefore either upgrade roads or reduce limits (speed limit reviews). Examples: o Wainui Road → Ratcliffe Bay incl Gamefish Club & boat ramp (Whangaroa) o Opito Bay → Rangitare o Okiato → Russell o Te Wahapu Road, Russell o Flagstuff and Tapeka Road o Otina Road, Moerewa o Bridges to widen due to driver behaviour (drive over centreline) • Unsealed roads strategy addressing fit for purpose widths and drainage Safety • Pedestrianisation in urban areas → high quality footpaths / crossings • Schools: o Provision of safe footpath and cycle network o Pedestrian crossings • Provide consistent and fit for purpose shoulder widths and lane markings • Sufficient width on footpath to include cycle lanes • Engineering standards: o Footpaths o Pedestrian planning design guide o Crossings o Future modes o Future focus on urban from with high quality W & C infrastructure • Land use development → not urban sprawl • Barriers: o Removal of barriers to uptake active modes o Compliance checks / improve quality • Driver licensing o Easy access to training / testing facilities o Improve standard of teaching o Reconsider costs • Provision of safe passing lanes / opportunities (warning signs) • Investigate alternative travel mode options to address drink driving issue • Cycle / shoulder for route treatments Possible transport solutions: • Standard for new / existing roads for new developments • School patrol crossings • Lobby government for subsidy • Safety wire rope barriers • Driver education and enforcement Safety o Educate urban drivers on gravel roads • School children education (REAP) o Cycle skills / bike to school • SCRIM • Consistent road signage o Especially at bends o Share the road signs • Separation between active modes and vehicles • Improving sight lines/ visibility ie.

Day 1: Auckland to Paihia (148 miles) Cross the Waitemata Harbour traveling north to Whangarei and Paihia. The Bay of Islands is one of the most historical parts of New Zealand. At Waitangi on February 6th, 1840, the Maori Chiefs ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria. The Treaty House is now an historic museum. The coastal waters are renowned for thrilling deep-sea fishing for marlin, swordfish and other game fish. Light-tackle fishing for yellowtail provides year-round sport. Day 2: Paihia Paihia is great for relaxing or chilling on the beach. Perhaps visit the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. Take a tour and view the magnificent war canoe, Maori meeting house and the Treaty House (allow 1-2 hours). Admission is NZ$25/adult or you can take a guided tour NZ$35. Cultural performances and hangi are available (Nov – Apr) and are additional. This afternoon visit historic and romantic Russell. Take a Russell mini tour or wander around the town by yourself. Russell Museum tells you the history of the town. Don't miss Christ Church - NZ's oldest church and Pompallier - NZ's Heritage Printery. If it is a nice day, take a walking track up to the Flagstaff Hill look out - magnificent views! (allow 1-3 Hours). Day 3: Cape Reinga and 90 Mile Beach (266 miles round-trip) Unfortunately you cannot take your rental vehicle on 90 Mile Beach, but you can drive up Hwy 1 to Cape Reinga, the most accessible northernmost tip of New Zealand, where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet.

  • Te Reo O Te Tai Tokerau: the Need for Consolidation and National Implementation
    ACCESS: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN EDUCATION 1989, VOL. 8, NO. 1, 10–23 Te Reo O Te Tai Tokerau: The need for consolidation and national implementation Michael Peters, David Para and James Marshall University of Auckland and Advisory Service for Education of Maori and Pacific Islanders, Department of Education ABSTRACT This paper comprises three sections: an introductory section which provides an historical context to the project Te Reo O Te Tai Tokerau; a descriptive section which briefly outlines the project and its evaluation; and a final section which discusses national implementation of the scheme and the need for its consolidation. Te Taitokerau - Te Hiku o te Ika nui a Maui Ko to reo he mana - he wehi - he ihi - he wairua whangaia a tatou tamariki mokopuna i te taonga tupuna riei Kia tupu ai ratou i roto i te korowai o te reo a o tatou matua tupuna.

Paki Para We wish to acknowledge the support, encouragement and manaakitanga of our whanau and kaumatua - without their guidance and commitment there would have been no project. Ko koutou te tauihu o tenei waka. This is a revised version of a paper presented to NZARE Conference, Massey University, Palmerston North, 4 December, 1988. Introduction In a recent series of articles, edited by Bernard Spolsky (1986), a number of contributors with Third World field experience have noted the way in which the use of a former colonial language as a substitute for a mother tongue in education has ‘reproduced inequality’, ‘prevented the attainment of high levels of bi-lingualism’, ‘stunted cognitive growth … and creativity in children’ and resulted in ‘the atrophy of indigenous cultures’.
