If the vote is Yes there would be a single Wairarapa Council within a year. The Local Government Commission would set up a transition body of two members from each council to make and implement a change-management plan. An implementation team chosen from each council’s staff would advise them. At this point the debate would turn to two matters. The first would be to ensure effective funding for the new wards. The Carterton ward would be represented by our two, elected Wairarapa Councillors who would need to have an influential voice on the amalgamated council. The councillors would also be part of a Carterton community board, which would have four members, plus the councillors. The board should make sure our town keeps its identity and makes its own local decisions. The draft report suggests that the board would deal with local issues like streetscapes, parking and street names, so the second crucial issue would be deciding the actual limits of the board’s responsibilities. Is it only to monitor these minor local matters or would it have a more substantial role in supporting our elected councillors? The effect of Resilient Carterton’s breaking news that they have been accepted as a partner in the Department of Internal Affairs’ Community-Led Development Programme could make a difference here. Funding of the ward would have to take into account adequate remuneration for the four community board members to ensure that we have a strong, informed and democratic voice on the Wairarapa Council. If the vote for amalgamation is No we should continue to turn our sights out to the wider region. A strong town in a strong region is the desirable outcome, whichever way IDEA Services, Carterton: developing strengths, the vote goes. skills, independence and community connections.

When (full-blooded) Tame Horomona Rehe—described on his headstone as the ‘last of the Morioris’— died in 1933, the Moriori were widely considered to be an extinct people. In February 2016, Moriori rangata m¯a tua (elders) and rangatehi (youth), artists and designers, archaeologists, a conservator and an arborist gathered at Ko¯ pinga Marae on Re¯kohu to participate in a w¯a nanga organized by the Hokotehi Moriori Trust. Its purpose was to enlist the combined expertise and commitment of the participants to hokopanopano ka toi Moriori (reignite Moriori arts)—principally those associated with r¯a kau momori (‘carving’ on living ko¯ pi trees)—through discussion, information exchange, speculation, toolmaking and finally, tree carving. In addition to providing a brief cultural and historical background, this paper recounts some of the memory work of the w¯a nanga from the perspective of one of the participants whose fascination for Moriori and the resilience of their culture developed from Michael King’s 1989 book, Moriori: A People Rediscovered.

    Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf

    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

    Border Report – Port of Tauranga and Rotorua Airport August 2013

    Border Report – Port of Tauranga and Rotorua Airport August 2013 Purpose A preliminary report to understand the level of risk the Port of Tauranga (POT) and Rotorua Airport present to the Bay of Plenty kiwifruit industry with the intent of determining if the current level of protection is adequate. Background Biosecurity in New Zealand consists of a multi –layer system that begins offshore with pre-border activities, incorporates the border and continues post-border into New Zealand where it becomes a joint effort between central government, regional councils, industry, community groups, and all New Zealanders, (a paper describing this system in more detail can be found on the KVH website www.kvh.org.nz/kiwifruit_biosecurity_risks). This paper will review a single layer, border interventions at ports of entry. Any port of entry has the potential to bring unwanted pests and diseases into New Zealand that could be detrimental to the kiwifruit industry, however, given the high concentration of the kiwifruit industry in the Bay of Plenty, this report has focused on the ports of entry in the immediate proximity to this region, which are the Port of Tauranga and the Rotorua Airport. The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand’s second largest port by container volume, and a major stop on the cruise ship circuit. Rotorua Airport is an International Airport receiving two trans-Tasman flights a week. Imports into POT, cruise ships, and passenger traffic through Rotorua Airport are all potential pathways for risk items to enter New Zealand and each will be reviewed to provide an overview of operations, potential risks that each present and how these risks are being mitigated.
