  • TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES of the TRAIL: This Trail Will Take About Four Hours to Drive and View at an Easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA Pace
    WELLINGTON’S TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES OF THE TRAIL: This trail will take about four hours to drive and view at an easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA pace. Vantage points are mostly accessible by wheelchair but there are steps at some sites such as Rangitatau and Uruhau pa. A Pou (carved post), a rock or an information panel mark various sites on the trail. These sites have been identified with a symbol. While the trail participants will appreciate that many of the traditional sites occupied by Maori in the past have either been built over or destroyed, but they still have a strong spiritual presence. There are several more modern Maori buildings such as Pipitea Marae and Tapu Te Ranga Marae, to give trail participants a selection of Maori sites through different periods of history. ABOUT THE TRAIL: The trail starts at the Pipitea Marae in Thorndon Quay, opposite the Railway Station, and finishes at Owhiro Bay on the often wild, southern coast of Wellington. While not all the old pa, kainga, cultivation and burial sites of Wellington have been included in this trail, those that are have been selected for their accessibility to the public, and their viewing interest. Rock Pou Information panel Alexander Turnbull Library The Wellington City Council is grateful for the significant contribution made by the original heritage Trails comittee to the development of this trail — Oroya Day, Sallie Hill, Ken Scadden and Con Flinkenberg. Historical research: Matene Love, Miria Pomare, Roger Whelan Author: Matene Love This trail was developed as a joint project between Wellingtion City Council, the Wellington Tenths Trust and Ngati Toa.

  • How to Kill Rats and Engage a Community
    HOW TO KILL RATS AND ENGAGE A COMMUNITY INTRODUCTION Predator Free Miramar is a volunteer community project, established in winter 2017 to rid Wellington’s Miramar Peninsula of rats, stoats and weasels, and bring back the birds and the bush to the eastern suburbs. Over the last three years we’ve created a community of backyard trappers, by asking people to install a trap in their backyards, keep it baited, and report their catches. Simple. The initial target was to have a rat trap in one out of every five backyards, effectively a trap every 50 metres, which is thought to be roughly the home range of a rat. There are about 7500 households on the peninsula, which means we needed 1500 backyards traps to meet the target. As we approach Christmas 2019, we have 1448 traps out, and Predator Free Wellington’s eradication operation is almost complete. As a community working together, in two and a half years, we’ve removed more than ten thousand rats, mice, hedgehogs and weasels from the Miramar landscape. My hugely supportive wife Jess is able to access our deep freezer again, now that my stash of frozen ‘sample’ rats and weasels have been cleared, and the months of deferred maintenance in our own backyard might just get a look in, now that I don’t have quite so many trapping missions to complete. So what follows is a reflection on how we got here. Despite the title, this is not an instruction manual on how another group should proceed; what makes these projects so great is that there’s no one way of doing it.

  • Appendix 13 Shelly Bay Cultural Impact Statement
    CULTURAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT WHĀTAITAI, MARUKAIKURU, SHELLY BAY Taikuru Prepared by Kura Moeahu, Peter Adds and Lee Rauhina-August on behalf of Taranaki Whānui Ki Te Upoko o Te Ika and The Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust, September 2016 STATUS: FINAL 1 Executive Summary This is a Cultural Impact Assessment Report for Shelly Bay/Marukaikuru commissioned by the Wellington Company Limited. It assesses the Māori cultural values of Marukaikuru Bay from the perspective of the tangata whenua, namely the iwi of Taranaki Whānui represented by the PNBST. The main findings of this cultural impact assessment are: • Marukaikuru Bay has high cultural significance to the iwi of Taranaki whanui • Taranaki Whānui people actually lived in the Bay until 1835 • We have found no evidence of other iwi connections to Marukaikuru Bay • Taranaki Whānui mana whenua status in relation to Marukaikuru and the Wellington Harbour is strongly supported in the literature, including the Waitangi Tribunal report (2003) • The purchase of Shelly Bay by PNBST from the Crown was a highly significant Treaty settlement transaction specifically for the purpose of future development • Any development of Marukaikuru must adequately take account of and reflect Taranaki Whānui cultural links, history and tangata whenua status in Wellington. • Taranaki Whānui have kaitiakitanga (guardianship) responsibilities to ensure the protection of the natural, historical and cultural dimensions of Marukaikuru. • The resource consent application submitted by the Wellington Company Limited is supported by the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust. 2 WHĀTAITAI, MARUKAIKURU, SHELLY BAY Taikuru Kapakapa kau ana te manu muramura ki te tai whakarunga Māwewe tonu ana te motu whāriki o te tai whakararo Makuru tini e hua ki whakatupua-nuku Matuatua rahi e hua ki whakatupua-ruheruhe Pukahu mano e hua ki whakatupua-rangi Inā te tai hekenga ki runga o Tai Kuru e..

Shelly Bay: -From 1885 to 1995, Shelly Bay was a naval and air force base, and many barracks, workshops, stores, wharves and slipways were built. History: Shelly Bay is the site of a former air force base with a long military history which began with the construction of the Submarine Mining Depot Barracks in 1887. The area was then a navy base from 1907 to 1946, when it was transferred to the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

Shelly Bay – In1885, Shelly Bay was selected as suitable for relocating the Submarine Mining Depots which were at the time, located in Thorndon and Mahanga Bay. The Depot was finally constructed in 1887 replacing the Thorndon Depot. The minefield for which this depot was built, was never actually laid. However, all shore based facilities were completed. Fort Ballance on the other side of the Miramar Peninsula had a control room for remotely detonating mines within the field – this was a link connected between Point Gordon and Ward Island.
