Ruakura Estate Cultural Impact Assessment – Page 1 of 22 Executive Summary Tainui Group Holdings Limited & Chedworth Park Limited (TGH & CPL) has contracted Te Kotuku Whenua Consultancy (TKW) to develop a Cultural Impact Assessment Report (CIA) for the purposes of the preparation of a Ruakura Structure Plan and the framework for proposed development activities at Ruakura, Hamilton. The CIA report contains the respective views and recommendations from consultation with Tangata Whenua and Ngaati Wairere documentation that has been developed by TKW by its director Maree Pene. TKW is the mandated Environmental Agency for Ngati Wairere. TGH & CPL is planning various developments at Ruakura including an inland port and associated activities, warehousing, commercial developments, and residential opportunities. These activities have been incorporated into various regional and district planning instruments such as the Regional Policy Statement, Hamilton City Council District Plan, Future Proof, Hamilton Urban Growth Strategy and Regional Land Transport Strategy. More particularly TGH & CPL is currently assisting the Hamilton City Council with its proposed District Plan, specifically with the Ruakura Structure Plan. This CIA report will be included within the Ruakura Structure Plan and recommends the following mitigations: 1. An archaeologist be present during excavations of the site of the proposed development; 2. A reserve is created for the protection of places, objects, and natural features of historic, archaeological, cultural, educational and other interests; 3. In the discovery of koiwi (human bones) contractors must immediately notify Ngati Wairere and Ngati Haua representative(s) and all earthworks must cease until such time as customary protocols for clearance and protection of the area has been undertaken; 4. Mitigation measures are implemented prior to commencement of construction to minimize adverse effects from sedimentation to surrounding water bodies; 5. In the discovery of taonga excavations must cease and Ngati Wairere and Ngati Haua representatives(s) must be notified immediately to enable appropriate protocols can be put in place to ensure the protection of these Taonga; 6. Recommend that as part of the development proposals there may be scope to protect and generate significant areas for restorative and regenerative vegetation; and 7. The protection of inland waterways and associated ecosystems. It is acknowledge that Ruakura will be developed in a staged process as outlined in the Future Proof land allocation strategy submitted as part of the Proposed Regional Policy Statement. The mitigations recommended are intended to satisfy cultural and environmental matters of the development. Ruakura Estate Cultural Impact Assessment – Page 2 of 22 It is also acknowledge that communication of progress and monitoring of the recommendations by TGH & CPL will be coordinated through the Office of the Maori King, Te Arataura and Waikato- Tainui Te Kauhanganui Incorporated as the tribal mandated authority. TKW fully endorses the approach and context of the development as promoted by TGH & CPL.

  • Potential Shallow Seismic Sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017
    Final Report on EQC Potential shallow seismic sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017 Vicki Moon & Willem de Lange School of Science University of Waikato 1. Introduction Following the exposure of a fault within a cutting in a new sub-division development in NE Hamilton, an initial investigation suggested the presence of 4 fault zones within the Hamilton Basin (Figure 1) that represented a potential hazard to infrastructure within the Basin. Hence, the overall aim of the proposal put to EQC was to refine the locations of four potentially active faults within the Hamilton Basin. To achieve this aim, two main phases of geophysical surveying were planned: 1. A seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River channel; and 2. Resistivity surveying to examine the sub- surface structure of identified fault zones. Additional MSc student projects, funded by Waikato Regional Council, were proposed to map the surface geology and geomorphology, and assess the liquefaction potential within the Hamilton Basin. During the course of the project, the initial earthworks Figure 1: Map of the four fault zones that were initially identified from geomorphology for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway and surface fault exposures, as presented in provided exposures of faults, which resulted in some the original proposal. modification of the project. 2. Methods The two main methodological approaches planned for this project were: 1. A high resolution CHIRP seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River within the Hamilton Basin. A previous study examining the stability of the river banks in response to fluctuating water levels (Wood, 2006) had obtained detailed data on the morphology of the river bed using multi-beam and single-beam echo sounders (MBES and SBES respectively), and side scan sonar.

You requested: We are looking for information on: • the cost of any initial repairs and ongoing maintenance, • how these costs were covered, ie through community fundraising, grants or council funds or a combination of these • how any heritage restoration was carried out, • who owned the building before, during and after the process, and • any other information that you might think relevant. Our response: 1) The cost of any initial repairs and ongoing maintenance. In 2007/8, the Claudelands Grandstand was relocated within the Claudelands precinct site and refurbished. The total cost was $1.520m approx. This was part of an almost $70m project for the redevelopment of the precinct and build of the Claudelands Event Centre Arena and Exhibition Space. You can find current information on further information on our venue here. Over the next five financial years (2018/19 to 2027/28) Council average annual budget for maintenance is $16,320. 2) How these costs were covered, ie through community fundraising, grants or council funds or a combination of these. The costs were budgeted via the relevant Council’s 10‐Year plus a sum of $200,000 from external funding. 3) How any heritage restoration was carried out. The relocation and refurbishment project required appropriate resource and building consents to be lodged with Hamilton City Council.

  • 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.
