  • Report on Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean South of Kaikoura
    Report on altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean south of Kaikoura MAP 1 Source: MapToaster™ NZTopo250 sheets 18 and 19 Crown Copyright Reserved SUMMARY • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (TRoK) is seeking to alter the recorded name, Waiau River, to Waiau Uwha, without the generic term ‘River’. • TRoK’s tradition is that ‘Waiau Uwha, the female river, coupled with Waiau Toa [Clarence River], the male river, drifted away from each other. Waiau Uwha laments this separation and her tears swell the waters when melted snow enters the river’. • TRoK has also made a proposal to alter Clarence River to Waiau Toa. • The river flows generally south and then east for approximately 160 km from its source below Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to its mouth at the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 50 km southwest of Kaikoura. • TRoK has provided evidence of the river being named ‘Waiauuwha’, ‘Waiau-uha’ and ‘Waiau uha’. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori has confirmed that the orthography ‘Waiau Uwha’ is correct, and advised that ‘ua’ can be a contraction of ‘uha’, which is a variant form of ‘uwha’. • Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha River (or Waiau Uwha without the generic term) would recognise the historical significance of the name, 1 Land Information New Zealand 20 April 2016 Page 1 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 and support TRoK’s desire to have the meaning and story behind the name live on. It would also meet the NZGB’s statutory function to collect and encourage the use of original Māori names on official charts and maps.

West of the fault the geology is more complex, landscapes extensively modified and public conservation lands fragmented.

    NZ ISSN 0048-0134 NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF FORESTRY SCIENCE New Zealand Forest Service, Forest Research Institute, Rotorua Editor: J. B. Lowry VOLUME 5 FEBRUARY 1976 NUMBER 3 ERUPTION, DETERIORATION AND DECLINE OF THE NELSON RED DEER HERD C M. H. CLARKE Forest Research Institute, New Zealand Forest Service, Rangiora (Received for publication 3 April 1975) ABSTRACT . Data are presented on population increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer during the period 1900-1960, throughout the northern South Island region. Densities are mapped at decade intervals between 1910 and 1950. Popula­ tion numbers increased rapidly after liberation in 1861; highest densities occurred between 1925 and 1940. Population peaks varied from 3-13 years in duration 10-30 years after colonisation and were primarily influenced by food supplies and speed of population increase in the different regions. Depletion of food supplies by deer is proposed as the reason for general physical deterioration of populations during the peak eruptive period. Decline of food supplies and associated population stress, coupled with harsh winter weather (especially in 1928-31 and 1939-42) resulted in overall herd decline. INTRODUCTION The liberations and dispersal of red deer {Cervus elaphus L.) throughout the northern South Island have been described in earlier papers (Clarke, 1971, 1973). In this paper patterns of increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer populations during the period 1900-1960 are examined throughout the northern South Island districts. Although several brief accounts of the Nelson red deer herd were published during the 1920's (Thomson, 1922; Forbes, 1924; Donne, 1924), the only recent papers are N.Z.

  • New Zealand's Nine Provinces (1853–76)
    W E L C O M E T O T H E H O C K E N Friends of the Hocken Collections B U L L E T I N N U M B E R 3 1 : March 2000 New Zealand’s Nine Provinces (1853–76) N 30 June 1852, after half a century of constantly changing constitutional relationships with NSW and Great Britain, the passage by the British Parliament into law of the ‘Act O to Grant a Representative Constitution to the Colony of New Zealand’ at last gave this country a settled, semi-federal system of government. New Zealand became divided into the six provinces of Auckland, New Plymouth, Wellington, Nelson, Canterbury and Otago, each with its own legislature, built around the six original planned settlements or ‘colonies’. Above them was a General Assembly consisting of the Crown-nominated Legislative Council and a directly elected House of Representatives. Sir George Grey proclaimed the coming into force of this Constitution on 17 January 1853; the boundaries of the new provinces were gazetted on 28 February; and regulations governing the elections were gazetted on 5 March. Each province had a Superintendent and a Provincial Council, both directly elected by men aged 21 or older, with freehold worth £50 a year. Elections were held every four years, each Provincial Council electing its Speaker at the first meeting after an election. Amending legislation in 1856 provided for the appointment of a Deputy Superintendent when necessary. New provinces W.P.
