For over five years Tokaanu residents have been concerned at higher than normal stream levels. These have caused serious worries concerning high water tables, drainage and septic tank problems. Weed was restricting discharge of the stream co the lake, creating a backwater effect upstream, which caused the high water levels. The recent weed clearance project - a joint initiative between ECNZ and the Taupo District Council - using a weed harvester has removed much of the problem, improving the water flow and reducing the risk of flooding of the adjacent properties. The project, between the lake edge and SH41 bridge, has dramatically changed levels in the stream which have dropped by 30mm at the Domain Bridge, above the hoc pools co 550mm in the lower reaches. The Taupo District Council contributed the labour, a loader and a truck, while ECNZ undertook consultation with iwi, the local community and the Department of Conservation, Turangi. ECNZ project manager, Tracey Hickman, said ECNZ was not responsible for weed control, but it had agreed co assist the removal of weed as a demonstration of the corporation's commitment co the community. t>1Ecnz TARGET TAUPO A newsletter

  • 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.

    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. He Mahi Whakamanakore: Destruction of Indigenous Heritage Sites at Otuparae. A Case Study of the Otuparae Headland Development A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning Massey University, Manawatu Hemopereki Hoani Simon Ngati Tuwharetoa, Te Arawa Whanui, Ngati Manawa, Tuhoe, Waikato, Ngati Maru 2011 i Abstract This thesis examines indigenous cultural heritage site destruction in Aotearoa, New Zealand. In particular, it examines what took place within a planning system to approve the destruction of the heritage site at Otuparae, near Taupo. This thesis seeks to identify what contributed to the decision to grant approval to developers without consultation with the local hapu, Ngati Rauhoto. The research is framed in a form of Kaupapa Maori Research (KMR) called whakawhanaungatanga. Analysis of critical ethnography, key actor interviews, participant observation, field notes in research journals, videos, and documents took place to gather data. A review of the colonial history of Ngati Tuwharetoa revealed that over time the Crown usurped the mana, power and sovereignty of Tuwharetoa. In doing so, the Crown left Tuwharetoa politically, socially, economically and culturally weak, forcing Tuwharetoa to enter into Crown-controlled and created legal and political frameworks. Additionally, the Crown instituted a governance model based on colonial thinking. This thesis contributes to the body of knowledge about the need to incorporate different worldviews into planning to achieve sustainable development.
