The Authors Heather Bassett holds a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree, majoring in history, from Waikato University. From 1993 to 1995 she worked as a researcher for the Crown Forestry Rental Trust, during which time she co-authored the Maori Land Legislation Manual. Heather was a staff member at the Waitangi Tribunal from June 1995 to October 1996. Since then she has been working as a contract historian and is based in Auckland. Richard Kay holds a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in history, from Otago University and a Master of Arts Honours degree, majoring in history, from Waikato University. He has a Diploma of Teaching (secondary) from the Auckland College of Education. He is based in Auckland and works as a contract historian. Together, Heather Bassett and Richard Kay have written over twenty reports for various Waitangi Tribunal inquiries. ii. Project Brief This report has been written as part of the Crown Forestry Rental Trust’s research programme for the Whanganui Inquiry District. In March 2002 Bassett Kay Research was contracted to write a scoping report examining the lands which were vested in the Aotea District Maori Land Board. The scoping report recommended that research should be carried out on the history of the leased vested lands since 1951.1 In December 2002 Bassett Kay Research was contracted by the Crown Forestry Rental Trust to write this report on the leased vested lands 1951-2000. The project brief required research covering the following issues: 1. Introductory section backgrounding important developments in the history of the Whanganui vested lands from 1900 up until 1950. 2. The 1951 Royal Commission into Vested Lands and the subsequent passing of the Maori Vested Lands Administration Act 1954. 1 Heather Bassett and Richard Kay, ‘Whanganui Reserves and Vested Lands Scoping Report’, Crown Forestry Rental Trust, August 2002. 3 3. The effectiveness of the Maori Trustee’s administration of these lands, the extent to which the owners were involved in or consulted about the administration of these lands and the benefits they may have received from them. 4. The transfer of these lands to the control of the incorporated owners, and aspects of the subsequent history of the incorporation.2 iii. Statement of Claim The Wai 759 statement of claim relates specifically to the administration of the Whanganui Vested Lands. The statement of claim was lodged by Meterei Tinirau on behalf of the shareholders of the Atihau-Whanganui Maori Land Incorporation.3 The claim lists a number of specific grievances about the legislation governing the vested lands, failures in administration, and the failure of the Crown to adequately redress the problems faced by the owners. The statement of claim makes it clear that Maori agreed to vest their land in the Aotea District Maori Land Council, ‘for the purposes of leasing and settlement and in order to better provide for themselves and their descendants’.4 This was done on the expectation that ‘in due course, the bulk of the vested lands would be occupied and farmed by the beneficial owners’.5 The specific Treaty of Waitangi breaches listed in the statement of claim include: • changes in legislation; • the method of assessing valuations and rentals; • failure to protect the owners’ rights to receive the value of timber on the blocks; • failure to provide finance to assist the owners to resume the leased lands; • inadequacies of the 1951 inquiry; • inadequacies of the 1954 settlement in failing to assist the owners to regain control of the leased lands. The authors would like to thank the Atihau-Whanganui Incorporation for providing access to some of its records, and to the Maori Trustee files which are held by the incorporation. 2 Whanganui Vested Lands 1951-2000 Project Brief, Crown Forestry Rental Trust, 11 November 2002. 3 Wai 759 Statement of Claim, 8 May 1998. 4 ibid. 5 ibid. 4 Heather Bassett appreciated the way that incorporation staff willingly provided her with assistance and information. iv. Structure and Issues The ‘Whanganui Reserves and Vested Lands Scoping Report’ explained how the vast acreage of Whanganui Maori land vested in the Aotea District Maori Land Council was eventually administered in three ways: 1. Blocks which were leased for Pakeha settlement. 2. Blocks which were farmed by the board as the Morikau Farm/Station. 3. Morikau Farm blocks which were revested in the owners and became the Ranana 6 Development Scheme. The Whanganui district overview report, written by Tony Walzl has detailed coverage of many aspects of the vested lands before 1950.7 The Walzl overview report covers the history of the blocks leased for Pakeha settlement until the establishment of the Royal Commission; the history of the Morikau Farm until its return to the owners in 1954; and the history of the Ranana Development Scheme until it was wound up in the early 1970s. The scoping report identified that further research was required into what happened after 1950 to the vested blocks leased for Pakeha settlement. This is the sole focus of this report, and readers wanting information about other aspects of the vested lands’ history should consult the Walzl report. Part One of this report provides an introductory overview to the history of the Whanganui lands vested in the Aotea District Maori Land Board for the period 1900 to 1950. This section is intended to provide the reader with a brief introduction to the history of the vested lands which were leased, with a particular emphasis on the terms under which Whanganui Maori agreed to vest land in the board, and how those terms and conditions were changed. Part One discusses the relevant legislation and administration by the Aotea District Maori Land Council and Board. Issues relating to valuations and compensation for improvements are examined in the context of pressure from the lessees for perpetual leases or the right to purchase, and resistance from the owners. Maori requests for assistance to resolve the 6 Heather Bassett and Richard Kay, ‘Whanganui Reserves and Vested Lands Scoping Report’, Crown Forestry Rental Trust, August 2002, pp. 27-31. 7 Tony Walzl, ‘Whanganui Land 1900-1970’, Crown Forestry Rental Trust, February 2004. 5 problems relating to compensation for improvements led to the establishment of a Royal Commission. Part Two explains the report and recommendations of the Royal Commission into Vested Lands. It discusses the commission’s criticisms of the method used to value the land and improvements, and other aspects of the administration by the Maori Land Board. The commission made detailed recommendations for legislation to govern the future leasing of the land by the Maori Trustee and resumption of leases for Maori farming. The response to these recommendations by the Maori Affairs Department, the lessees and the owners is explained. The Crown put forward alternative settlement proposals, but these were rejected by both the owners and the lessees.

  • Errata and Updated Statistics for the 2014 Annual Climate Summary Issued
    Errata and updated statistics for the 2014 Annual Climate Summary Issued: 16 April 2015 Every year, an annual climate summary and a table of annual statistics are provided by NIWA, usually within the first two weeks of January. This summary is based on data available at the time, and often includes preliminary (real-time) annual climate statistics which are as yet not fully quality checked. Each year during April, the annual statistics from the calendar year prior are updated, including both automated and manual climate station data. The purpose of the update is two-fold; to enable manual climate data to be incorporated, since manual stations typically take 1-2 months for data to be received and entered into the National Climate Database; and to log errata found in subsequent quality checks performed in the National Climate Database, or site visits undertaken in January and February. This update is for the 2014 annual climate summary. This update was based on available data as at 1 April 2015. Errata and notes 1. Following the update of station data contained within the Water Resources Archive, the rankings for wettest sites in New Zealand for 2014 have changed. The wettest four locations are now: Cropp River at Waterfall (11866 mm), Tuke River at Tuke Hut (10728 mm), Cropp River at Cropp Hut (10655 mm), and Haast River at Cron Creek (8239 mm). 2. Offshore and outlying island stations were not included in this update. 3. Some sites have missing days of data. The number of missing days is indicated by a superscript number next to the annual value in the tables below.

    CIVIL DEFENCE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT GROUP PLAN 2009 – 2014 Version 1.16 August 2015 August 2009 Report no. 2009/EXT/1029 ISBN 978-1-877468-67-4 Foreword The members of the Manawatu-Wanganui Civil Defence Emergency Management Group have a growing understanding of the hazards and risks faced by communities in the Region, the measures that are in place to reduce the risks to the community, and options for future improvement in risk management. During the life of this Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Group Plan, much of the focus of emergency managers will be on building response capability. During this time, an emphasis on consistency, accountability, best practice and support will ensure that, should the worst happen, we are in a position to resist events and recover as quickly as possible. Whilst this Plan addresses the statutory requirements of the Group, the day-to-day workings are detailed in the Triennial Business Plan of the Group and the Annual Plans of members. The Co-ordinating Executive Group oversees the co-ordinated implementation of this Plan and the Business Plan on behalf of the Group. This Plan seeks to: Strengthen relationships between agencies involved in CDEM; Encourage co-operative planning and action between the various emergency management agencies and the community; Demonstrate commitment to deliver more effective CDEM through an agreed work programme–detailed in the CDEM Group Triennial Business Plan; and Provide information on the hazards and risks in the CDEM Group, and document the principles of operation within which agencies involved in CDEM agree to cooperate. The experience of members of the Group and the level of co-operation between members and supporting agencies is excellent.
