View the historic magazine building and sh ladder along the way. Trelissick Park follows the Kaiwharawhara Stream down Ngaio Gorge. The area was extensively milled for tawa and rimu in the mid-nineteenth century. But now the 20 hectare park is regaining some original native elements through natural regeneration and the hard work of the local care group. Wander the tracks that connect to the Northern Walkway route through Wellington and explore the historic magazine bunkers and nearby gun emplacements. The park was once a route for Māori and early Europeans travelling from the harbour to Porirua. Near the bottom of track there are historic gunpowder magazines dating from the 1870s. Trelissick Park is named after the Cornish estates of Captain Daniell, who settled in Ngaio in the 1880s. Look for the rst entrance to Trelissick Park on your left as you go up Kaiwharawhara Road towards Ngaio Gorge. Enter the park and, following the Kaiwharawhara Stream, go past the old powder magazine store and continue upstream. Keep an eye out for eels in the stream and kaka feeding in the remnant native forest areas. You will come to a junction where you will see a steel bridge. Walk past the bridge and follow the signs for the Sanctuary to Sea Walkway. You will soon walk up a reasonably steep but short track to a bush-covered ridgeline. Continue on the ridgeline track, Sanctuary to Sea Walkway. Look for a sign on your left pointing the way to the sh ladder. This is a mechanism to help sh swim upstream. If you go to look, you will need to return the way you have come, as this is a dead end. From the ridgeline you will drop to the stream, passing over several bridges. You will come to a point where the Northern Walkway leads you uphill. Take this track. Continue on until you return to the junction with the steel bridge. From here, head back down the stream-side track to the magazine store. https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/track/trelissick-park-loop-track/pdfPreview 2/4 9/26/2021 Trelissick Park Loop Track — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa Conditions: Dogs must be on leads outside dog exercise areas.

  • Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara
    3 Management sector plans 3.1 Sector 1 Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara A unique feature of this sector is the harbour escarpment and the steep gullies off Onslow Road and Homebush Road. Where topography permits, the bush reserves have been developed to include tracks, with play areas, kick-about space or informal recreation space sometimes also provided. The Outer Green Belt (OGB) extends right down into Broadmeadows, Crofton Downs, Ngaio and Khandallah and provides a prominent natural setting for residential housing in this area and access to the extensive track system. The suburban reserves enhance ecological connectivity between the OGB and the harbour via the large natural gully reserves and smaller pockets of open space. This sector is adjacent to but does not include Trelissick Park or reserves in the Outer Green Belt. The open space network comprises: • One sport and recreation (community) park – Nairnville Park, which has a 3/4 size artificial field, three winter fields, two summer cricket blocks, a skateboard ramp and a community playground. Nairnville Recreation Centre is located on the park and provides a range of indoor recreation activities and programmes, changing rooms and public toilets during its hours of operation. • Kaiwharawhara Park on Hutt Road has one winter field and changing rooms. • Ngaio Tennis Club leases a recreation reserve on the corner of Crofton Road and Waikowhai Street. • 10 neighbourhood parks with a further two, Khandallah Park and play area and Silverstream Road play area, on the edge of this sector managed under the Outer Green Belt Management Plan. • Several large bush reserves.

  • Stormwater Infrastructure
    Assessment of Water and Sanitary Services 2005 x Long Term Council Community Plan x Bush and Stream Restoration Plan 2001 x Asset Management Plan. 6.3 Stormwater Infrastructure 6.3.1 Catchments A catchment is defined by topography. A main stream and tributaries join together in the catchment to form a water system which drains through a single outlet into the harbour or south coast. Council catchments are generally based upon actual drainage characteristics, but are also affected by management boundaries. The more urbanised eastern side of the Wellington region has been broken up into 42 individual catchments ranging in size and elevation from rural Kaiwharawhara (1917 ha, 420m) to smaller urban catchments such as Thorndon (12 ha, sea level). The rural western region has not been subdivided into catchments at this time. Figure 9 shows the main stormwater catchments. All these catchments contain a multitude of small watercourses, streams and piped stormwater infrastructure. The rural streams are generally narrow and restricted channels with over hanging vegetation, compared to the channelised urban streams. Streams have an average grade of 7.25% throughout the region, representing the steep topography associated with most of the Wellington catchments. Wellington stormwater from these catchments is discharged directly into the City’s streams, harbour and south coast. Eleven of the major discharges to the sea are currently consented under the RMA 1991. The consents for the discharge of wastewater-contaminated stormwater to the coastal marine area were issued in 1994 and require Council to carry out improvement works by 2013. The works are dependent on the individual consent conditions.

  • He Kete Hauora Taia Final
    HE KETE HAUORA TAIAO A BICULTURAL ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK By SARA MELISSA BELCHER A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2020 Tuhinga whakarāpopoto: Abstract Ka mau tonu ngā taonga tapu o ngā matua tupuna Koinei ngā taonga i tuku iho, na te ātua Hold fast to the treasures of the ancestors For they are the treasures that have been handed down to us by God’ (Dymond, 2013, p. 274) Ecologists, resource managers, landowners and iwi generally strive to manage biodiversity on their whenua as obliged by legislation. This may include restoration, protection, the mitigation of negative human impacts, or the prevention of further habitat loss. Mainstream ecological science and resource management (ERM) usually guides management decisions and provides evidence of management effectiveness. However, ecological science can struggle with stochastic and complex biological systems. Māori have hundreds of years of environmental knowledge and understanding that could be utilised by mainstream resource managers to enhance society's combined knowledge. An assessment tool that places mātauranga at its core can introduce a Māori perspective, privilege Māori knowledge, enable holistic co-management, re/introduce social values and create a common ground on which the two paradigms can connect. He Kete Hauora Taiao is an environmental assessment framework for terrestrial habitats constructed on Māori ecological health indicators by applying them to quantitative ecological scientific data. He Kete Hauora Taiao is built on the Driver – Pressure – State/Condition – Indicator – Response framework (K. F. D. Hughey, Cullen, Kerr, & Cook, 2004).

  • The Land Story – Crofton/Ngaio Methodist Presbyterian and Union
    1 THE LAND STORY – CROFTON/NGAIO METHODIST PRESBYTERIAN AND UNION CHURCHES The Crofton/Ngaio Methodist, Presbyterian and Union land story covers the earliest aspects of Maori history of the area, the initial sales to the New Zealand Company, and a brief resume of subsequent occupants, purchasers, titles and building in order to answer the key questions posed by the Connexion. The story of the groups who planned and used the churches is told fully in First a church... the continuing story of Ngaio Methodist, Presbyterian and Union Churches by Elaine E Bolitho, published December 2004 by the Ngaio Union Church. Ngaio Union’s parish boundaries also include the former Cashmere Methodist Community Centre (111 Cashmere Avenue, Khandallah) demolished in 2001. The story of this property, and its regeneration as the Cochran Hall at the Cashmere Avenue School is told in the Cashmere Land Story, and in The Vision Restored, published by Ngaio Union Church in May 2003. Ngaio Union, as the legal successor to the proceeds held in trust from the Cashmere land sale, was granted funding for approved capital work on the Ngaio Union property, thus ensuring that in 2005 all buildings were fully compliant. Contents Key Questions asked in Our Land Story The successive tangata whenua of Te Whanganui-a-Tara Tracing the division of the land, the titles and the owners (A) Methodist (B) Presbyterian Copies of Certificates of Title References NGAIO UNION CHURCH Ngaio Union Church July 2004 2 KEY QUESTIONS ASKED IN OUR LAND STORY Information Leaflet No 46, November 1991 How was the land originally obtained from the Maori people?

    1 Introduction Let’s Get Wellington Moving is a joint initiative between Wellington City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council and the NZ Transport Agency (the project partners). Together, we’re working with the people of Wellington to deliver an integrated transport system that supports their aspirations for how Wellington City looks, feels and functions. We are following a robust process drawing on three key streams of information: feedback received from the people of Wellington through comprehensive public engagement data collected on current travel patterns and recent trends transport activity and Wellington’s economy 2 Purpose & context This report summarises the data that has been collected for Let’s Get Wellington Moving, together with data that is collected annually by the programme partners. It provides multi-modal insights in relation to current travel patterns and recent trends. This data has been used by the project partners to: understand travel patterns and network performance, identify current pressures and issues, informing the Case for Change inform the development of a suite of transport modelling tools that will provide information to support decision making The purpose of this report is to provide a visual and factual representation of some of the data that has been collected, together with some of the insights that can be drawn from this data, so that people know what information is being used to support the work that is being undertaken and the decisions that are being made. Going forwards, this data will provide an evidence base that will form the foundation of any case for change and help establish the existence and scale of any problems worthy of action.
