It has brought challenges but also opportunities for both Napier residents and Safer Napier. This annual report is an opportunity to celebrate what has happened in the past year and show the impact, range and reach of collaborative safety projects in Napier. Napier City is proud to be an accredited Safe Community and has been accredited since 2010. Safe Communities1 is an international concept that recognises safety as a universal concern and a responsibility for all. It creates ways to increase action on community safety through the building of local partnerships. Safer Napier focuses on injury prevention, crime prevention, road safety, community resilience, addiction related harm, and collaboration. It is an ‘umbrella’ for over 35 initiatives and projects with 43 agencies, organisations and groups as signatories to the Safer Napier Memorandum of Commitment. It contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Good health and well-being (targets 3.2, 3.5, 3.6) Gender equality (targets 5.2, 5.3) Sustainable cities and communities (targets 11.2, 11.5) Peace, justice and strong institutions (targets 16.1, 16.2). As an accredited Safe Community, data analysis, evaluation and priority setting is important. An annual online survey is submitted in August to the Safe Communities Foundation of New Zealand (SCFNZ), see Appendix A, and the programme uses a Results Based Accountability (RBA) framework to measure what difference is being made. This report is for 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 and covers five case studies, the five goals and a selection of programmes and initiatives.2 “Safer Napier is an excellent example of a community that has adopted the model and structure to support wellbeing, place making, resilience and community safety initiatives. This is a ‘mature’ and effective Safe Community – well led and with the solid backing of council. Your commitment to cross-sector engagement is commended, as is your flexibility in responding to changing priorities as a result of the COVID-19 situation.” Safe Communities Foundation of New Zealand, September 2020 1 For more information on Safe Communities see www.safecommunities.org.nz 2 Please note this report gives an overview of Safer Napier activities and does not include all community safety initiatives occurring in Napier. 3 Safer Napier Memorandum of Commitment signatories Note: Safer Napier Strategic Group (SNSG)3 members are shown in bold Accident Compensation Corporation Age Concern Napier Ahuriri Māori Wardens Trust Alcohol Action Hawke’s Bay Citizens Advice Bureau Disability Resource Centre Hawke’s Bay DOVE HB Fire and Emergency New Zealand Hawke’s Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Hawke’s Bay District Health Board Health Hawke’s Bay – Te Oranga Hawke’s Bay Ka Hao Te Rangatahi Trust Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities4 Liberty Training NZ Mataruahau Māori Wardens Ministry of Education Ministry of Social Development Multicultural Association Hawke’s Bay Incorporated Napier City Council Napier Youth Council – Te Kaunihera Rangatahi O Ahuriri Napier Community Patrol Napier Disability Advisory Group Napier Family Centre Napier Inner City Covenanted Churches Napier Neighbourhood Support Napier Safety Trust New Zealand Police New Zealand Red Cross New Zealand Transport Agency Pirimai Baptist Church Plunket Hawke’s Bay RoadSafe Hawke’s Bay Roopu a Iwi Trust St John Central Region Salvation Army Sport Hawke’s Bay 3 As at June 2020. 4 On 1 October 2019, Housing New Zealand joined HLC and KiwiBuild to form Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities. 4 Surf Lifesaving New Zealand Te Kupenga Hauora – Ahuriri Te Puni Kōkiri Tū Tangata Maraenui Trust Whatever it Takes Trust Volunteering Hawke’s Bay Zeal Hawke’s Bay New SNSG members since Safer Napier Memorandum of Commitment signing are: Napier City Business Incorporation New Zealand Automobile Association Te Rangihaeata Oranga Trust / Hawke’s Bay Problem Gambling Services Safer Napier Reaccreditation Ceremony, March 2016 5 Case studies Initiative/Programme Name: Celebrate Safer Napier - Whānau Fun Fest Issue/Population Group Addressed: Keeping our children safe - in the home, outside and on journeys Families with children under five, especially Māori and Pacific Island whānau and aiga Goal: Raise awareness of child injury prevention and encourage aiga to make behaviour changes to minimise risk Increase the wider communities’ awareness of Safer Napier and gain community feedback on the main safety issues for Napier Partners: 23 agencies, organisations and groups as listed below.

Data, Information and Story Behind the Data: In New Zealand, unintentional injuries are the third-leading cause of death in children under 145. Under five year olds are at a higher risk of fatal unintentional injuries and over 60% of all under five injuries in New Zealand happen in the home6. In Hawke’s Bay there were 418 unintentional home injury hospitalisations for 0-9 year olds between 2013-2017. 7 Pacific Island and Māori are over represented in these figures . 5 Injury Prevention Research Unit.

  • A Study of Earthquake and Tsunami Evacuation for Napier Hill, Napier, Aotearoa New Zealand
    Understanding residents’ capacities to support evacuated populations: A study of earthquake and tsunami evacuation for Napier Hill, Napier, Aotearoa New Zealand December 2019 Benjamin A. Payne Julia S. Becker Lucy H. Kaiser Intentionally left blank. Disaster Research Science Report 2019/01 2 ABSTRACT Due to a large regional subduction zone (the Hikurangi subduction zone) and localised faults, Napier City located on the East Coast of Aotearoa/New Zealand is vulnerable to earthquake and tsunami events. On feeling a long or strong earthquake people will need to evacuate immediately inland or to higher ground to avoid being impacted by a tsunami, of which the first waves could start to arrive within 20 minutes (based on the Hikurangi earthquake and tsunami scenario presented in Power et al., 2018). Napier Hill is one such area of higher land, and it is estimated that up to 12,000 people could evacuate there in the 20 minutes following a long or strong earthquake. To understand the capacity of Napier Hill residents to support evacuees, three focus groups were held with a diverse sample of residents from Napier Hill on 21 and 22 July 2019. A follow up email was sent to all participants a week after the focus groups, containing a link to a short six question survey, which was completed by 68 people, most of whom were additional to the focus group attendees. Data from the focus groups and the survey was analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis. The findings highlight that in general people were happy to host evacuees and offer support if they were in a position to do so.

  • Planning Napier 1850-1968
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. PLANNING NAPIER 1850–1968 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand John Barry Annabell 2012 Abstract In the context of New Zealand planning history, planning can be seen in two forms. Informal planning describes planning-related activities already taking place before the establishment of formal town planning in the early 20th century. Formal planning describes planning activities based on legislation, a developing body of knowledge, and a planning profession. Whether informal or formal, planning has been concerned with the arrangement and control of activities in space, with the objective of creating a better living environment. For Napier, a provincial centre, the influence of planning on the growth and development of the town is discussed in terms of four principal themes, covering the period from the birth of the town in the 1850s until 1968. These themes are reclamation, reconstruction, suburban growth, and place promotion/civic improvement. Reclamation planning was important, given that the original town was almost totally surrounded by sea or swamp, with insufficient land for future expansion. A major earthquake in 1931 destroyed the business area of Napier, but helped solve the expansion problem by raising the level of land so that reclamation became easier or was now unnecessary.

  • Napier Social Mo 20
    Napier Social Mo nito r 20 09 Community Development Empowering You ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION The Napier Social Monitor survey sets out a framework for considering social well being and provided important information about what is happening to the quality of life of Napier Citizens. The surveys are normally conducted in October or November and the key findings are reported back to Council by March of the following year. Previous surveys were undertaken in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007. The 2009 report presents the results undertaken during October and November 2008. A total of 400 residents were surveyed. The results were weighted against age and gender to account for sampling differences and ensure the results were representative of the Napier population. The content of the report is descriptive only and provides a snapshot of the respondents’ status in respect to a limited number of variables. It provides a general, but brief, insight into the social status of a small number of local residents of Napier. The survey has been completed by a Rotorua based specialist survey company, APR Consultants Ltd, which involved telephone-based random questioning of Napier households/residents from all parts of the City, on a wide range of social issues. Items measured relate to housing, health, safety, employment, education and training, vehicle and Internet access, nature of community and community relationships. The key information from the survey particularly the trends of the social conditions are used as a tool to support the activities and potential projects, where relevant, by the Community Development Department. The survey is linked to Council’s Long Term Community Council Plan and is part of the Community Advice activity management plan.

  • Constructing the Identities of Place
    CONSTRUCTING THE IDENTITIES OF PLACE: AN EXPLORATION OF MĀORI AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE PRACTICES IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND By Elizabeth Dale Pishief A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Museum and Heritage Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2012 Fig. 1: Map of New Zealand showing major settlements. i ii Contents Page Map of New Zealand i Abstract v Acknowledgements vii Abbreviations ix List of figures xi Introduction: Exploration of place, person and performance 1 Chapter one: Māori land-based heritage within the settlers’ discourse 55 Chapter two: The imperative of science: the archaeological discourse 81 Chapter three: Te Ao Māori: the Māori discourse 129 Chapter four: Place, performance, person and ‘the Connect’ 177 Conclusion 229 Glossary 237 Bibliography 241 iii iv Abstract This thesis examines a problem in current heritage practice, namely, the statutory management of archaeological sites separately from other heritage places with the consequent loss of many sites of importance to Māori. It explores places and the different meanings and practices of heritage constructed around them by archaeologists and Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand where such questions have not been critically examined in great depth. The study responds to this gap in the literature by setting out to develop a theory of heritage practice that enables the effective translation of peoples’ heritage aspirations into a workable model of heritage management in place of the current framework. The research has used an interdisciplinary theoretical framework developed from the literature of heritage studies and related fields, which builds on Laurajane Smith’s work on archaeology and the authorised heritage discourse, but also includes writing on governmentality, phenomenology, kinaesthesia, agency, and material culture.

  • Title of Paper
    Insights into the liquefaction hazard in Napier and Hastings based on the assessment of data from the 1931 Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, earthquake M. El Kortbawi & R.A. Green Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, USA L. Wotherspoon Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, NZ S. van Ballegooy Tonkin & Taylor Ltd, PO Box 527, Auckland, NZ ABSTRACT: Hawke’s Bay is situated on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand and has experienced several earthquakes in the past during which triggered liquefaction. The 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake is par- ticularly interesting because it was one of the most damaging earthquakes and the deadliest earthquake in New Zealand’s history. This study provides insights into the actual versus predicted liquefaction hazard in Napier and Hastings. Towards this end, the simplified Cone Penetration Test (CPT)-based liquefaction triggering eval- uation procedure proposed by Boulanger & Idriss (2014) (BI14) is used in conjunction with Liquefaction Se- verity Number (LSN) framework to predict severity of surficial liquefaction manifestations across the region for the 1931 MS7.8 Hawke’s Bay event. A comparison of the results with post-event observations suggests that the liquefaction hazard is being over-predicted. One possible cause for this over-prediction includes the short- comings liquefaction damage potential frameworks to predict the severity of surficial liquefaction manifesta- tions in silty soil deposits. This study demonstrates how historical earthquake accounts in a region can be used to assess the risk of the region from future earthquakes. 1 INTRODUCTION have occurred in the region following the 1863 South- ern Hawke’s Bay earthquake, 1904 Cape Turnagain The objective of the study presented herein is to pro- earthquake, 1921 Central Hawke’s Bay earthquake, vide insights into the actual versus predicted liquefac- 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, and the 1932 Wairoa tion hazard of Hawke’s Bay (i.e.
