Steeped in goldmining history, it is now a convenient service hub for the region, minus any big city bustle. It is a ‘crafty’ town proud of its heritage and connected to the natural environment with an expansive bush wilderness as its backdrop and many delightful shops with local produce, art and friendly service. A former gold mining boom town that once produced gold by the tonne, it has proudly maintained its heritage buildings and has an operational gold stamper battery and original tunnels that exist now only to preserve a fascinating insight to the past. Nearby Kauaeranga Valley is the best place to seek out campgrounds and bush walks which can be done as day trips or by venturing further up The Coromandel ranges and staying overnight at the large hut owned and operated by the Department of Conservation. Follow the Thames Coast north to experience a stretch of Pohutukawa-fringed coastline interspersed with coastal villages, meditative and garden retreats, classic old dairies (corner shops) and other attractions awaiting those willing to take a more relaxed pace. 200 Mary Street, Thames THAMES Phone: +64 7 868 7284 i-SITE Visitor Centre www.thecormandel.com/thames www.thecoromandel.com COROMANDEL TOWN Kapa-nga Must Do’s H Long Bay Reserve H Castle Rock H Coromandel Coastal Walkway H Kauri Trees / Waterfalls H Walk the Heritage Trail H Drive or Cycle past the Oyster and Mussel farms Our Region The Coromandel 6 The Coromandel Historic Coromandel Town is a haven for talented artists and crafts people who have moved here from around the country - inspired not only by the tranquil atmosphere, but also by the spectacular natural surrounds. The village has a unique character, soul and ambience reflecting art, heritage and its cultural importance to Iwi. While it can be said that the journey is the destination – arrive by ferry after a stunning journey across the Hauraki Gulf from downtown Auckland or by road on the winding Pohutukawa coast from Coromandel Town Thames – Coromandel Town has much to offer. Homegrown cuisine is in abundance from its raw form, to elegantly cooked and served at the many local restaurants. The discovery of gold at Driving Creek in 1852 brought a boom to Coromandel Town, and the area has continued to flourish while retaining a rich stock of surviving heritage buildings. Coromandel Town is also the gateway to the north Coromandel’s isolated beaches, campgrounds, mountains and walking tracks.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.

History was made on Saturday last week when the Mercury Bay Senior A Marlins rugby team became for the first time ever the sole holders of the McClinchy Cup by beating Thames 12 - 10 in the 2021 Thames Valley Rugby Union club championship final. It was only the third time that the Mercury Bay Senior A team reached the final. With unrelenting wind and rain, the game was played in the most difficult circumstances imaginable. In 2015, the Bay shared the cup with Waihou after a draw in the final. This time was different. The cup will be displayed in the Mercury Bay trophy cabinet for a full 12 months. The emotion among players and supporters were visible when the final whistle went on Saturday. It was undoubtedly one of the proudest moment in the long history of a very proud club.

  • NGĀTI HEI and the CROWN AGREEMENT in PRINCIPLE EQUIVALENT July 2011
    NGĀTI HEI and THE CROWN AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE EQUIVALENT July 2011 INTRODUCTION - SETTLEMENT STRUCTURE 1. The Iwi of Hauraki1 entered into a Framework Agreement between the Hauraki Collective and the Crown dated 1 October 2010. 2. The Framework Agreement and Agreement in Principle Equivalents represent incremental steps towards a comprehensive Deed of Settlement between the Crown and the Iwi of Hauraki. 3. The Deed of Settlement will settle all Historical Claims2 under the Te Tiriti o Waitangi / the Treaty of Waitangi3 in the Hauraki region which arise from the whakapapa of each of the Iwi of Hauraki. 4. As a consequence of the Deed of Settlement, each of the Iwi of Hauraki will be entitled to a range of Treaty settlement redress. 5. The Crown and the Iwi of Hauraki acknowledge that the ultimate structure of a settlement with the Iwi of Hauraki is yet to be agreed, and will be developed in the course of negotiations. Thus, for example, it is not yet agreed whether there will be multiple deeds of settlement or a single deed of settlement with iwi specific redress.4 6. This Agreement in Principle Equivalent comprises both collective and iwi specific chapters and includes: a. redress agreed to by the Crown; b. redress the Crown is willing to explore; and c. redress the Hauraki Collective and Ngāti Hei seek. 7. The Crown acknowledges that the Collective and Ngāti Hei has the right to seek redress, but notes that some of the redress iwi seek is outside current government policy. 8. Ngāti Hei is party to the Hauraki Collective Framework Agreement and is undertaking iwi specific negotiations in respect of its interests.
