River Plan Feedback
Submission No: 235 November 2014 HCC draft River Plan feedback From: - Rob Davidson and Peter Bos, for Cycle Action Waikato. To: - Jacob Quinn and the River Plan Team What do we like about the proposed River plan? 1. The River Corridor Map is Great It clearly indicates access of both the riverpath and the river bridges, throughout the whole length of the area covered by the River Plan. It is vital that people get the River Plan’s ‘Key Themes’ from the River Corridor map. This is essential information, which needs to be quickly accessed. For clarity we request that the River Corridor Map’s Key includes the label (‘Key Themes’) above the six theme logos of: - Access, Recreation, Development, Natural Environment, Arts and Culture, and Tourism (shown vertically). 2. The proposed idea for “pedestrian bridge zones” is a great idea. Furthermore, the proposed idea to “Develop a plan to become a city of bridges” is a good one. These two proposals together have a huge capacity to alleviate the River’s existing Community Severance Effect, experienced by walking, cycling, and the mobility impaired. The river currently separates the eastern residential areas from the CBD commercial and employment zone. The river is a huge barrier to cycling access as the majority of Hamilton City’s bridges are not safe for cycling, nor cycle friendly (not comfortable to ride), as described below: - Whitora Bridge (in the past, when 2-laned) was safe with wide road shoulders to cycle in. However, HCC has recently done a huge amount of damage to cycling safety and connectivity, in three-laning the Whitiora Bridge by removing the bridge’s road shoulders (cycling space) to fit an extra vehicle lane. -
Looking at the Works of Alice Tawhai: an Argument For
LOOKING AT THE WORKS OF ALICE TAWHAI: AN ARGUMENT FOR MĀORI LITERARY NATIONALISM By Charlie (Natasha) Holland A thesis presented to The Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Victoria University of Wellington October 2009 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Alice Te Punga Somerville for all her support and to Prof. Lydia Wevers for helping me in the final stages of completing my work. To the organisers of the Manurere Postgraduate Travel Grant, Federation of Graduate Women (Wellington Branch), Te Ha and Ngā Pou Kaituhi Māori committees of Toi Māori Aotearoa, and especially my Mum for funding my trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the 2009 Native American Literary Symposium – thank you. I would also like to thank my partner Jayde for her continuous support over the years it has taken me to research and produce this thesis. Abstract Contemporary Māori writer Alice Tawhai has published two collections of short stories, Festival of Miracles (2005) and Luminous (2007). Tawhai’s narratives portray Māori people living an array of diverse lifestyles and her collections include stories about isolation, gangs, substance abuse, identity, education, art and spirituality; her work has been reviewed in literary magazines and online as new fiction that reflected a contemporary society in Aotearoa and these literary reviews imply that Tawhai’s stories are a reflection of Māori people. For Māori readers, Tawhai’s narratives demand a different interpretation of the text, a different way of reading, in order to read these stories of their own merits. -

Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING
6. ‘At Every Bend a Chief, At Every Bend a Chief, Waikato of One Hundred Chiefs’: Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING Introduction At 425 kilometres, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, and a vital resource for the country (McCan 1990: 33–5). Officially beginning at Nukuhau near Taupo township, the river is fed by Lake Taupo and a number of smaller rivers and streams throughout its course. Running swiftly in a northwesterly direction, the river passes through many urban, forested and rural areas. Over the past 90 years, the Waikato River has been adversely impacted by dams built for hydro-electricity generation, by runoff and fertilisers associated with farming and forestry, and by the waste waters of several major industries and urban centres. At Huntly, north of Taupiri (see Figure 6.1), the river’s waters are further sullied when they are warmed during thermal electricity generation processes. For Māori, another major desecration of the Waikato River occurs when its waters are diverted and mixed with waters from other sources, so that they can be drunk by people living in Auckland. 137 Island Rivers Figure 6.1 A socio-political map of the Waikato River and catchment. Source: Created by Peter Quin, University of Auckland. As the Waikato River is an important natural resource, it has a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi1 claims by Māori for guardianship recognition and management and property rights.2 This process of claiming has culminated in a number of tribes 1 The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs in 1840. -
