Loss Projections and Balance Sheet & Cashflow Statements. 1 Purpose 1.1 Purpose The Hone Tuwhare Charitable Trust (the Trust) was formed in 2010, under the kaupapa of “…inspiring people through the preservation, promotion and celebration of Hone’s legacy’” The Trust’s objectives are stated as follows: ° To purchase and restore Hone Tuwhare’s crib at Kaka Point, South Otago, for use as a writer’s residency — the first to be established in the home of a Maori writer. ° To create a visitors centre that will be open to the public and available for school visits etc. ° To support the development of resources for schools and kura kaupapa Maori, in English and Maori, covering poetry, writing, self-expression and Hone’s life and work. ° To initiate events that celebrate Hone’s contribution to the arts in New Zealand. For example, an out-door concert on Hone’s birthday, performances of his plays, poetry in schools etc. It is important to note, that while the writer’s residency will be located in South Otago, it is the intention of the Trust that the residency will have a nationwide and international focus. The Trustees have resolved that an opportunity exists for the establishment of a writer’s residency at Hone Tuwhare’s crib on Kaka Point, South Otago. The Trust is in the process of planning a redevelopment of the site to: ° Renovate and restore Hone Tuwhare’s crib and grounds situated at Kaka Point; ° Design and build a residency and visitor education centre; and ° Establish a residency programme for writers, film makers, musicians, visual artists and curators amongst others. The purpose of this feasibility study is threefold: 1. To investigate the financial viability of the project based on the proposed designs; 2. Provide the Trustees with an independently-prepared report that identifies any significant risk factors; 3. Provide the Trustees with a financial model that allows for sensitivity analysis and scenario testing. A financial model was developed to determine the cashflow requirements of the Trust and to determine the on-going financial viability of the development. The underlying methodology behind the model was tested for sensitivity to determine the financial risks and how these may impact on the Trust. Based on new facility designs and initial costings prepared by Pearson & Associates Architects Limited (Pearson & Associates) and Stan Scott, Building Consultant, Mitre 10 (New Zealand) Limited, we estimate the project to have a capital cost of approximately $775,000 (including GST). We understand that the capital will be raised from grants, private investors and potential strategic partners. 1 1.2 Report Use The findings from our feasibility study that we conducted on behalf of the Trust, have been reported to you solely for the purposes of establishing the feasibility of the project, and highlighting any potential issues that may be of relevance to you in connection with your decision-making processes.

  • A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES
    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III English at Massey University [Palmerston North], New Zealand Susan Lillian Williams 2006 11 DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my grandfather and my mother, neither of whom had the privilege of gaining the education that they both so much deserved. I stand on their shoulders, just as my son, David, will stand on mine. The writing of this thesis, however, would not have been possible without the unstinting assistance of Ainslie Hewton.

Zeb nurtured me throughout this long project and then, in the last week of completion, was called by the black rabbit. Thank you for everything you taught me Zebedee. You and I will always be playing alongside your beloved riverbank. III ABSTRACT Drama has been the slowest of the arts to develop an authentic New Zealand 'voice.' This thesis focuses on the work of five playwrights: Bruce Mason, James K. Baxter, Mervyn Thompson, Renee and Robert Lord, all of whom have set out to identify such a 'voice' and in so doing have brought about a metamorphosis in the nature of New Zealand drama.
