  • Distribution of Geological Materials in Lower Hutt and Porirua, New Zealand a Component of a Ground Shaking Hazard Assessment
    332 DISTRIBUTION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS IN LOWER HUTT AND PORIRUA, NEW ZEALAND A COMPONENT OF A GROUND SHAKING HAZARD ASSESSMENT G. D. Dellow1 , S. A. L. Read 1 , J. G. Begg1 , R. J. Van Dissen1 , N. D. Perrin1 ABSTRACT Geological materials in the Lower Hutt, Eastbourne, Wainuiomata, and Porirua urban areas are mapped and described as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment of seismic ground shaking hazards. Emphasis is mainly on the flat-lying parts of these areas which are underlain by variable Quaternary-age sediments that overlie Permian-Mesowic age 'greywacke' bedrock. Within the Quaternary-age sediments, the two material types recognised on strength characteristics are: 1) Soft sediments, typically composed of normally consolidated, fine-grained materials (sand, silt and clay), with typical standard penetration values (SPT) of <20 blows/300 mm; and 2) Loose to compact coarser-grained materials (sand, gravel), with SPT values of > 20 blows/ 300 mm. The total thickness and nature of Quaternary-age sediments in the study areas is described, with particular emphasis on the thickness and geotechnical properties of near-surface sediments. Such sediments are considered likely to have a significant influence on the an1plification and attenuation of ground shaking intensity during earthquakes. In the Lower Hutt valley, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of -16 kni. Such soft sediments underlie much of Petone and the Lower Hutt urban and city centres, and have a maximum known thickness of 27 m near the western end of the Petone foreshore. In the Wainuiomata area, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of - 3 krn2, and attain a maximum thickness of 32 m.

  • Wainuiomata Central Place Name Origins
    WainuiomataCentralPlaceNames.docx WAINUIOMATA CENTRAL PLACE NAME ORIGINS This document is about the origin of the names of various features of Central Wainuiomata on the flat area such as houses, parks and suburb names. It excludes road and street names. Wainuiomata is named after the big water or stream of Mata. Wai means water. Nui means big. O means of. Mata refers to a woman's name Roimata. This is an official version. The origins of the word are disputed and other commonly accepted translations are: - Refers to the women living in the now Hutt Valley who came over the Wainuiomata Hill to evade marauding tribes. These tribes in about 1819 were carrying muskets that came north from the Paremata area. In the battle the local tribes were said to have been destroyed. The Paremata Maoris came across the remaining women who were sitting wailing by the stream after the slaughter of their menfolk. From this we have “faces streaming with water”, “tears” or “weeping water”. - Refers to the large pools of water which lay over the swampy surface of the northern end of the Valley, or the river itself which is known to flood the Coast Road / Wainuiomata Valley. From this it can also mean large river from the swamp. - Refers to the whitebait that are present at the mouth of the river. Mata means whitebait. From this we have big river of whitebait. - Refers to flint or obsidian which is hard rock found in the headwaters of the river. - Refers to the origin and personification of water. The area for the purposes of this document covers is from the head of the Wainuiomata River to the mouth where it enters the sea at the Wainuiomata Coast and its tributaries.

Along with the boys were 3 Womens games featuring the newest team to the WRL family the Titahi Bay Marlins and the Wainui and Randwick teams. Pool A featured 3 premier teams in Wainui, Te Aroha and the Hunters joined by the Trentham Titans and the Brothers team. Pool B saw Upper Hutt & Petone up against Hunters#2 , Si-Fe-e and Te Awakairangi. Hot and dusty conditions combined with very hard grounds meant that hydration and team rotation were going to be keys to success with the eventual finalists fronting for their 6th match on the day. With only the top 2 from each pool advancing to the semis every game was important as was ensuring a good points differential. Wainui qualified first undefeated in Pool A after close games against Te Aroha and Hunters and were able to put the feet up and watch the battle for 2nd spot between those two teams in the last match of pool play. It was the Eels that prevailed 19-5 to earn a semi-final berth. Pool B saw the hastily drawn together Te Awakairangi top the table undefeated with comprehensive victories in all but the match against pool runner up Si-Fe-e where they managed a close 17-11 victory.

The earthquake produced a local-source tsunami that impacted the east coast of the South and North Islands, with the first wave (of a few centimeters height) arriving in the Wellington region within 30 min. The largest waves in Wellington arrived between 1 and 5 hrs after the initial wave and were ∼60 cm in height. Initially, an official “no tsunami threat” message was issued based on scientific interpretation directly following the earthquakes. Scientific advice from Aotearoa/New Zealand (supported by overseas) suggested there was not a tsu- nami threat. Approximately 1 hr later, this was revised to an official warning stating, “Tsunami threat to Aotearoa/New Zealand” based on updated scientific advice (primarily tide gauge readings), and many communities needed to evacuate, including Petone and Eastbourne in the Hutt Valley, Wellington region, Aotearoa/New Zealand. Approximately three and a half weeks after the earthquake, a survey was undertaken with Petone and Eastbourne residents using a citizen science approach to understand tsunami response and evacuation behaviors. A total of 409 surveys were collected, with 245 respondents from Petone and 164 from Eastbourne.
