Modified Register for Maria Catherine DRIVER Modified Register for Maria Catherine DRIVER First Generation 1. Maria Catherine DRIVER was born in Jun 1840 in In the cave at Whareakeake, Otago, New Zealand. She was christened1 on 29 Nov 1840 in Otago, New Zealand. She died2 on 19 Jul 1926 in Purakanui, Otago, New Zealand. The cause of death was a. Morbus Cordis. b. Cerebral Haemorrhage.. She was buried3 on 22 Jul 1926 in Purakanui, Otago, New Zealand. CHRISTENING: Maria was baptised by Bishop Pompellier's chaplain, Father Pesant, (Roman Catholic). The story says that this was in leiu of Pilotage dues. RESIDENCE: Purakanui District and Hamilton Bay, Otago Harbour. Maria had a share in the Moari land at the Titi Islands (Mutton bird Islands) in Foveaux Strait, and also in the Purakanui Area (Land Records). BIOGRAPHY: Jubilee Book. Early Settlers Museum, Dunedin - Early Settlers prior to 1861. Maria C MOUAT. Born at Purakanui 1841. Daughter of Richard Driver, formerly Government Pilot. Married to Peter MOUAT 1860 (sic). Nine children living. Rev. Burns' Visitation Book [Early Settlers Museum, Dunedin] Maria is mentioned several times between 1849 and 1854 as living in Port Chalmers with William Mills & family. She had been placed with them for education in exchange for housework and childminding, but when her father found that she was not being educated he removed her and took her home to educate her himself. As she could not read in later life, I assume that the education was minimal. Maria married4 (1) William STEVENS on 21 Dec 1857 in Otakou, Otago, New Zealand. William was born about 1831 in Bristol, Gloucester, England. He died5 on 11 Dec 1860 in Taiaroa Head, Otakou, Otago, New Zealand. He was buried in Dec 1860 in Purakanui, Otago, New Zealand. Family Story says that he was herding cattle at the Clutha and was drowned in the river at Stirling. The Certificate and newspaper are at variance with this. His death Certificate states that he died of Ulceration of the lungs which could have been TB or the result of a severe Pneumonia. His boat the 'Jane Anne' [Otago Witness' & 'Otago Colonist'] took supplies to John Jones settlement at Waikouaiti on 8th Dec and returned on the 21st Dec. This was after Bill had died! The next shipment was taken by the 'Huon'. If Bill had been taken ill at Waikouaiti, they would most probably have brought him in to Purakanui to be nursed by his wife and family, where he subsequently died. The boat would have then returned to the harbour. The Certificate is registered for Taiaroa Head but we believe that he actually died at Waikouaiti. Family [Maori].

  • Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the Protection and Enhancement of Surf Breaks in New Zealand
    Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the protection and enhancement of surf breaks in New Zealand Aaron Mark Edwards A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Planning. University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. 1st November 2012 Abstract The inclusion of surf breaks in the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010) establishes New Zealand as a potential world leader in surf break protection. The approach is highly dependent upon local authorities being required to give effect to these new policy directives. Providing for these policies requires a multi-faceted approach that includes surf break identification, mapping, monitoring, policy provision, integrated management approaches and evaluation. This presents significant challenges, especially given that most local authorities lack specific surfing expertise. Surf break users have extensive knowledge of local surf breaks and an inherent interest in the preservation of surfing resources, representing a potential aid to local authorities in providing for surf breaks. Surf break policy implementation arguably serves to benefit from the involvement of surf break users in management responses and decision-making processes. This thesis involved a case study of the Auckland and Otago regions to explore surf break user values, the purpose of surf break management and the suitability of surf break co- management within New Zealand’s resource management framework. The study involved an online survey of surf break users and interviews with key stakeholders in the management of surf breaks. A key theme that emerged throughout the research was the desire for surf break management to reflect the needs and vision of local surfing communities.

Purpose 1. To report and make recommendations on the determination of various resource consent applications under the notified provisions, Sections 95A(2)(a) and 95A(2)(c) and Section 127 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (the Act). 2. Introduction 2. Port Otago Limited (the applicant) has lodged a series of applications to ready itself for the next generational shift in shipping services, specifically the use of larger (6,000 to 8,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU)) container vessels and/or increase in number, frequency and duration of all vessels using the Port Chalmers wharves due to growth in international trade. 3. The existing lower harbour channel, Port Chalmers berths, and swing area need to be both deepened and widened to accommodate the larger shipping vessels and the existing multipurpose wharf will need to be extended. The deepening of the berths at Port Chalmers will also result in the need for a rock revetment and buttress to be placed under the wharf for stability purposes. A public use fishing jetty at the end of Boiler Point joined to the end of the multipurpose wharf extension is also proposed. 4. The upgrading of the channel, berths and swinging area involves both the deepening and widening of these areas to a maximum depth of up to 17.5 metres (not including over dredge allowance) and will result in up to 7.2 million cubic metres (m 3) of material to be removed from the lower harbour and entrance channel.

  • Peter Entwisle in Retrospect & Prospect
    1 ‘Peter Entwisle in Retrospect and Prospect: His contribution to Dunedin’s heritage Peter Entwisle in Retrospect & Prospect Meg Davidson, 17 April 2018 I was close to Peter in the last ten or so years of his life. My talk was the first of a series of lectures on ‘visions of Dunedin’ organised by the Southern Heritage Trust and the Dunedin Public Library and held at the library. My assessment of his contribution to heritage is a personal view, the talk hastily compiled a month after his death on March 14, 2018. … … ‘And sadly, of course, I’ve had to review his activities without access to Peter himself. ‘I miss his long virtuoso flights of fancy on his favourite subjects, and also his ability to deliver a succinct sound-bite. ‘Yesterday I asked David Murray for his thoughts. The tiny pool of Dunedin’s architectural historians is shrinking rapidly. Elizabeth Kerr died last year. Peter was concerned there were few young historians coming up through the ranks. David Murray is a stellar exception. With research skills, a visual memory and a way with words to match Peter’s he is a worthy successor to Peter’s mantle. Here is what David emailed me last night. 2 ‘Thinking about Peter's contribution to built heritage, I couldn't separate in significance three strands: 1) Awareness - bringing to notice themes and specific places, and local successes and failures, many of which would otherwise have been overlooked by the public. 2) Advocacy - again both broadly and regarding specific campaigns for particular sites. I remember him speaking of how his approach to this evolved, and regretting one earlier instance taking a hard line when an opportunity had been offered for a compromise.
