Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Review Report for a Historic Place, List No. 5126 2 PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to consider whether there are grounds to vary the extent of the List entry for Onekaka Wharf and Remnant of Tramline, to encompass other elements of the former Onekaka Ironworks’ complex of infrastructure. The complex once stretched across six kilometres, from the coast at Onekaka Inlet up into the foothills of Parapara maunga, inland. This review assessment concludes that the List entry extent should be varied slightly, to clarify that it encompasses the full extent of the remaining Ironworks infrastructure at the Onekaka Inlet: the Onekaka Ironworks wharf and tramline piles. At the inland end of the Ironworks infrastructure complex, six kilometres away, there are also remains of the Onekaka Ironworks quarries, aerial tramway, and the Onekaka Hydro-electric Scheme, that may also merit recognition on the List. It is recommended that a separate List entry for those elements is investigated, due to the geographical distance between them and the Ironworks infrastructure at Onekaka Inlet. Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Review Report for a Historic Place, List No. 5126 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Onekaka Inlet is culturally significant to Te Tau Ihu iwi, particularly to Ngāti Tama ki Te Tau Ihu, Te Runanga o Ngāti Rārua and Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-a-Māui, but also for Ngāti Kuia and Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō. Traditionally, Onekaka was the site of a papakāinga and an important signalling point for communications with other rohe. The Onekaka Ironworks Wharf and Tramline Piles, built in 1923-24, has historical and archaeological significance as a poignant physical link to an ambitious iron mining and smelting scheme. Although this undertaking ultimately proved uneconomic, the deteriorated remains of the scheme’s coastal infrastructure are a rare physical reminder of its impact on the locality. The aesthetic values of the wharf’s rusted vertical piles, a particular favourite subject of noted painters Doris Lusk and Enga Washbourn, continue to inspire artists, photographers, and poets. People have inhabited Mohua (Golden Bay) for many centuries, valuing its climate and resources, including kōkōwai (red ochre) obtained from the foothills of Parapara, a maunga of great cultural importance to manawhenua and tangata whenua. The mineral richness of the Onekaka-Parapara hills was also recognised by early colonists, who moved quickly to secure this resource for the Crown. The Onakaka [sic] Iron and Steel Company was formed in 1920, consolidating various earlier mining leases that had not been fully realised.1 Fifty men were employed to construct smelting works on a terrace to the west of State Highway 60. The plant was fully operational by 1924, producing bars of pig iron suitable for making railway irons, stoves and pipes. The company’s infrastructure stretched from the hills to the coast at the Onekaka Inlet. An aerial tramway carried iron ore and limestone in buckets 2.4 kilometres from quarries downhill to the ironworks. There the raw materials were crushed, washed, and smelted in a blast furnace; coal was purified into coke in the plant’s many beehive coking ovens. Good transport routes were necessary to get machinery and coal to the works, and the smelted iron products out to domestic and international markets. Initially the company used Skilton’s private jetty at Onekaka Inlet, and lobbied for improvements to the road. However in 1923 permission was granted to build a pier projecting 365 metres from Onekaka Beach into deep water. The timber piles of this structure were vulnerable to teredo borer and were soon reinforced with rejected steel tram rails, with extra steel bracing welded to the piles. A huge coal bin sat on the decking at the outer end of the wharf. A tramline, built in 1924, ran 2.6 kilometres directly from the wharf to the ironworks, crossing the inlet on raised trestles, and passing under the main highway. A hydro-electric scheme was built in 1928-29 to power the pipe-making plant that was installed in an attempt to remain competitive. 1 Note the difference in the spelling of the company name from the spelling of the place name. Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Review Report for a Historic Place, List No. 5126 4 The ironworks were a major employer in the area, and with over 81,000 tons of iron produced between 1922 and 1935, hopes were high for an enduring industry. However, ultimately the enterprise proved uneconomic, and the company was placed into receivership in 1931 before closure in 1935. The wharf was reconditioned in 1941 in case it was needed during wartime, but suffered storm damage in 1945. Government efforts to revive the Onekaka industry ceased in the early 1950s and the ironworks were dismantled; the site was eventually subdivided for residential use. Today (2021) the deteriorated vertical piles of the wharf and a few piles from the tramline provide a poignant reminder of this ambitious undertaking. 1. IDENTIFICATION2 1.1.

    DEVELOPMENT OF GEOTECHNICAL GROUND MODELS FOR SLOPE INSTABILITY, EASTERN SIDE, TAKAKA HILL, TASMAN DISTRICT A thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Geology at the University of Canterbury By Christine Prasad 2020 Abstract State Highway 60 (SH60) over Takaka Hill in Tasman District has a long history of damage and closure from rainfall-triggered slope failures. Extreme rainfall from Ex-tropical cyclone Gita on 20th February 2018 triggered numerous translational soil slides on the southern side of Takaka Hill resulting in a series of debris flows that damaged SH60 near Riwaka. Scour erosion of road seal, damage to culverts, and failure of embankment sections led to complete closure of the road for five days, preventing all road access to the Takaka- Collingwood region. The road continues to be reduced to a single lane with traffic control more than two years after the event as repairs are ongoing. A programme of geomorphic mapping, geophysical profiling, and both in-situ and laboratory geotechnical testing was carried out to characterise the 2018 debris flows and investigate the hazard from rainfall-triggered slope failure and debris flows on Takaka Hill. Three stream catchments, on the lower slopes of the southern side of Takaka Hill, were the focus of this investigation. These are underlain by differing bedrock: granite, schist and a basic igneous suite. Historical records indicate an approximately 30-year recurrence for major events resulting in road closure for ≥ 5 days. The main types of rainfall-triggered failures are culvert blockage, shallow soil slides and debris flows.
