Geographic Name Proposals Report Pūkorokoro / Miranda (Locality) Pūkorokoro Hot Springs (Hot Springs) Firth of Thames Name Alteration and Assigning a New Name Geographic Name Proposals Report Pūkorokoro / Miranda (locality) Pūkorokoro Hot Springs (hot springs) Firth of Thames name alteration and assigning a new name MAP Pūkorokoro Hot Springs Locality NZTopo50-BB34 Crown Copyright Reserved 16 July 2014 Page 1 of 8 Linzone ID A1789530 SUMMARY • The proposer is seeking to alter the recorded locality name Miranda to Pūkorokoro / Miranda and assign the new name Pūkorokoro Hot Springs to the hot springs known locally as Miranda Hot Springs. • Both features are located on the southwest coast of the Firth of Thames. • The locality name Pukorokoro (no macron) has been used on maps since at least the late 1860s. The name Miranda, from the ship HMS Miranda , replaced the name Pukorokoro after an event during the Waikato War in 1863. • The nearby hot springs has an original Māori name, Pūkorokoro that has never been depicted on maps. The location of the hot springs has been given a locality name, Miranda Hot Springs. The Miranda Holiday Park is located there. SECRETARIAT RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation 1 Accept the proposal to alter Miranda to a dual name Pūkorokoro / Miranda for the locality on the Firth of Thames, based on the long term use of Miranda and the long association of the original Māori name Pūkorokoro with the locality, recognising the equal significance of both the Māori and non-Maori names, and support from Hauraki District Council and Waikato District Council and confirmation of orthography by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori. and Recommendation 2 Notify as a proposal to alter for a period of three months in terms of s.16 of the NZGB Act 2008. OR Recommendation 3 Decline the proposal to alter to a dual name Miranda to Pūkorokoro / Miranda for the locality, based on the issues that may be caused by assigning a dual name to an addressable/populated locality, and because the ANZ 4819 Addressing Standard states ‘a dual name or an alternative name shall not be assigned to a locality’. AND Recommendation 4 Accept the proposal to assign Pūkorokoro Hot Springs to an unnamed hot springs feature (not the locality) approximately 3 km southeast of the locality of Miranda, including the English generic geographic term, based on the information provided by the proposer of the original name for the feature and confirmation of orthography by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, subject to the exact location of the hot springs feature being determined. and Recommendation 5 Notify as a proposal to assign for a period of three months in terms of s.16 of the NZGB Act 2008. AND Recommendation 6 Accept the following alterations to adjacent associated names based on the need for consistency and correct spelling, and the alteration being a minor change in orthography: 16 July 2014 Page 2 of 8 Linzone ID A1789530 • Miranda Hot Springs to Pūkorokoro / Miranda Hot Springs (locality) subject to support from Hauraki District Council and Waikato District Council. • Pukorokoro to Pūkorokoro (hill) - 3.8km southwest of Miranda • Pukorokoro Stream to Pūkorokoro Stream - flowing southeast along the coastal flats north of Miranda, subject to confirmation of extent. and Recommendation 7 Notify Pūkorokoro / Miranda Hot Springs (locality), Pūkorokoro (hill) and Pūkorokoro Stream as proposals to alter for a period of three months in terms of s.16 of the NZGB Act 2008. OR Recommendation 8 Discontinue the locality name Miranda Hot Springs to avoid confusion between the hot springs and locality as the hot springs are known locally by the same name as the recorded locality name, to minimise difficulties in displaying two names in the same location on maps and as the only features at the location of the name Miranda Hot Springs on map is the Miranda Holiday Park and adjoining hot springs pool. and Recommendation 9 Notify in terms of s.21(2) of the NZGB Act 2008 for one month. SECRETARIAT ANALYSIS The Proposal • The Office of Treaty Settlements (OTS) has now submitted these proposals through the normal statutory process on behalf of Ngāti Pāoa (who is part of Hauraki Collective) who is currently in Treaty negotiations with the Crown. • Ngāti Pāoa (through OTS) is proposing that the recorded locality name Miranda be altered to Pūkorokoro / Miranda, and the unnamed hot springs feature be assigned as Pūkorokoro Hot Springs. • Ngāti Pāoa identified the hot springs by the local use name Miranda Hot Springs. Ngāti Pāoa and OTS did not know that the name Miranda Hot Springs (recorded in the New Zealand Gazetteer and shown on maps) is for a locality not the hot springs. OTS clarified that the proposed name Pūkorokoro Hot Springs is for the hot springs and not the locality named Miranda Hot Springs. Policy on • The Board’s Chairperson accepted the proposal for processing as it ‘Requirement for meets the Board’s minimum requirements policy and naming criteria. Geographic Name Proposals’ New Zealand • Miranda and Miranda Hot Springs (both localities) are recorded names in Gazetteer the New Zealand Gazetteer. The hot springs are not named. Historical Maps, • Miranda (locality) was originally named Pukorokoro on plans and named Plans Miranda after 1873. The hot springs locality has been named Miranda 16 July 2014 Page 3 of 8 Linzone ID A1789530 Hot Springs on maps.

An old account of the origin of the proverb, ‘Pare Waikato, pare Hauraki’ published in the Polynesian Journal many years ago gives the name as ‘Puke korokoro’, but this name was extinct or modified by the time of the Maori War, as Pokorokoro is given in most of the histories. It is a place very famous in Maori history”. Henry James • Fletcher records Pukorokoro as “A place on the Thames. A hill on the Fletcher Māori Hauraki Gulf”. Names Index 2 1 NZGB Correspondence. Vol 31, p. 109 2 Fletcher, H.J. 1925. Index of Māori Names . Retrieved from http://www.waikato.ac.nz/library/resources/nzc/fletcher/, 22 May 2014 16 July 2014 Page 4 of 8 Linzone ID A1789530 Research/History/ • Pukorokoro was first recorded in a newspaper in 1863 3. References • Ngāti Pāoa states that Pūkorokoro is locally translated as “the long throated purse net”, which describes the entrance to Pukorokoro Stream and regular fishing that occurred in the area. • Ngāti Pāoa states that in mid 1863 the Crown sent HMS Miranda as part of a naval blockade to suppress rebel forces. HMS Miranda tried to land soliders at the well-populated village of Pūkorokoro based on information that Kīngitanga forces might be there. Waka, whare and surrounding bush were destroyed and a large number of Ngāti Pāoa people were killed. Crown forces later constructed a redoubt which was named Miranda after the ship. This name was subsequently used for the town and surrounding area. Waikato-Tainui – • The proposer consulted with Waikato-Tainui who supports “the proposed Board to have name change from Miranda to Miranda/Pukorokoro”. particular regard • to the Vision and Waikato-Tainui contacted representatives from Okarea, Mangatangi and Strategy Taniwha Marae (which is the Waikato-Tainui Te Kauhanganui Inc marae located closest to Miranda). The three marae support the proposed name change. • Waikato-Tainui also notes that Kahui Kaumatua (a forum of kaumatua from Waikato-Tainui) passed a resolution unanimously supporting Ngāti Pāoa in this proposal. • The proposal gives practical effect to the Deed of Settlement and Accord with the Minister for Land Information, to support and assist Waikato- Tainui to engage with the Board for the exercise of mana whakahaere. Location/Extent of • Miranda is a small locality incorporating a small group of residential Feature homes and rural lifestyle properties. It is located on the Firth of Thames approximately 20 km west-southwest of Thames. The Secretariat is unsure of the spatial extent of the locality but has requested it from Hauraki District Council. • Miranda Hot Springs is also a locality approximately 3 km southeast of the Miranda. The hot springs feature (not currently named) (originally about 100 individual springs over a 40 ha 4) were inaccessible to Pākehā until the 20 th Century because of the lack of roads to the feature 5. The area was developed after World War II. • The locality of Miranda and the hot springs feature are not nationally iconic places but the hot springs are the largest in the country 6 and reputedly the largest in the Southern Hemisphere 7. Altering the names may be contentious with local people and tourists. Generic Feature • A generic feature type for the locality is not appropriate.

  • What You Need to Know About Our Mining Activities Before You Purchase a Property in Waihi
    What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi OceanaGold is mining under residential properties in Waihi East and also has consent to mine in other areas. Here is what you need to know if you are considering purchasing a property in Waihi. CEPA We are mining in the area inside the yellow line in Waihi East. This area is known as CEPA, the Correnso Extended Project Area. We are allowed to mine underground anywhere in this area. The top of the Correnso mine is at least 130 metres below the surface. This is about the same distance from the Sky Tower glass observation deck to the street. Before we tunnel under any property inside the CEPA area we must offer the property owner an ex gratia payment of 5% of the current market value of the property. Before we mine under a property we must offer the property owner the same ex gratia payment or the option of us purchasing the property at current market valuation. If the property you are considering purchasing has already received an ex gratia payment this should be recorded on the LIM report. In the event that we mine under the property and offer to purchase it, the ex gratia payment will be deducted from the amount we offer. This does not apply to a sale on the open market. We advise that you check the LIM of any property you are considering purchasing.

  • Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: an Example of Council(S), Consultant and Contractor Co-Operation to Remove a Historic Blight on the Landscape
    Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: An example of Council(s), Consultant and Contractor co-operation to remove a historic blight on the landscape. The Kaiaua coastline on the Gulf of Thames is an area of scenic and natural beauty. However, a 205m stretch of the coastline was for 20yrs used as a landfill for disposal of domestic and demolition waste, including asbestos containing material (ACM). Buried in natural hollows and localised excavations, and compressed to less than 1m thick the wastes lay hidden and largely forgotten until coastal erosion and retreat of the shoreline started to expose and wash out the refuse. Hauraki District Council inherited this legacy and decided to do something about it. To achieve a cost effective and practical level of remediation required a pragmatic approach by Regional and District Councils through the consenting process, by the Consultant in planning, verification and oversight, and by the Contractor working within a tight time frame, tidal and environmental constraints. The work also attracted considerable public and press attention. Close liaison and co-operation between all parties was essential during the site works including shared supervision of the work and joint assessment of materials that could be retained. In this paper we describe the constraints affecting the project and approaches used to overcome these to achieve a successful and acceptable level of site remediation. Authors: Ken Read: Principal Engineering Geologist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Andre Tibshraeny: Project Manager Hauraki District Council, Paeroa Debbie Dewar: Senior Environmental Scientist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Key Words: Landfill, Consenting, Asbestos, Contaminated Land, Remediation Introduction with site materials where possible or imported shelly material from further north on the The former Kaiaua landfill, located shoreline.
