Paradise Valley Catchment Group QUARTERLY Newsletter #1 August 2018 ours was the largest issue at that time and we had to find a solution. With support from BOP Regional Council and a few keen contractors, we were able to divert the Paradise storm-water off the slip and replant 200 trees into it to stabilise the soil. At that first meeting, organised by concerned locals I also put my hand up to be the secretary, to take Valley minutes and the like. Since then we have had floods, washouts, damaged property and road closures, all followed by numerous meetings with councils and affected parties. Catchment We decided to pull in support from someone with experience in facilitating community groups, so Janie Group Stevenson from NZ Landcare Trust was invited to bring her skills to help us create a plan to present to the councils outlining our goals and objectives for the QUARTERLY valley. It has been a long process but with community involvement From the Chair and commitment we have a Paradise Valley Catchment Plan Kia ora koutou, which was presented at our Just short of two years ago my family and I, inaugural meeting.

We are open to hearing from our residents and at each monthly meeting a public forum is available to members of the rural community, to give a brief update/presentation to the Board. We encourage anyone who has an interest in what Council does, to come along and participate in the discussions and use the opportunity to have a say about the shape and needs of our rural community. Meetings are open to the public, therefore anyone can attend to understand what projects the Board are working on for the financial year.

  • Over the Years
    OVER THE YEARS A HISTORY OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY HALLS IN THE ROTORUA DISTRICT FOREWORD Nau mai, Haere mai, There are nine rural community halls in the Rotorua District, at Broadlands, Kaharoa, Mamaku, Ngakuru, Ngongotaha, Okareka, Reporoa, Rerewhakaaitu, and Waikite. Volunteers have driven the development and maintenance of these vital community facilities, which have been the focus for community functions and gatherings for many years. In 2001, Rotorua District Council awarded certificates of appreciation to many of these volunteers for their tireless efforts to sustain the upkeep of their local halls. This booklet was commissioned by the District Council to record the history of Rotorua’s rural halls, for both archival and community interest. Information was compiled in the latter months of 2002 by Marlana Maru, a Year 2 Bachelor of Applied Social Science student from the Waiariki Institute of Technology. RDC Social Research Officer Paul Killerby undertook additional editing and formatting. Marlana and I would like to thank the many local informants whose memories and impressions contributed to this booklet. In particular we would like to thank Barbara Blackburn, Peter Blackburn, Andy Burnett, Mary Burnett, David Fleet, Lyn Fleet, Maxine Greenslade, Triss Hill, Wally Hope, Marie Jepsen, Noeleen Martelli, Verna Martelli, Pam Murray, Jim Nicholson, Norman Reichardt, Rei Reichardt, Arthur Roe, Don Sandilands, and Chris Stevens. We would welcome any further background information on the halls listed in this booklet, which will be recorded and utilised in any further update of the publication.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

Regional resistivity measurements and fluid chemistry surveys suggest that the Reporoa system is a lateral outflow of hot water from the Waiotapu Geothermal System to the north-east. A deep exploratory drillhole, encountered a sequence of lacustrine sediments, volcanic, tuffaceous and ignimbritic rocks.

  • The Distribution of the Geothermal Fields in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
    Proceedings World Geothermal Congress 2005 Antalya, Turkey, 24-29 April 2005 The Distribution of the Geothermal Fields in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand Warwick M. Kissling and Graham J. Weir Industrial Research Ltd, PO Box 31 310, Lower Hutt, New Zealand [email protected] Keywords: Taupo Volcanic Zone, geothermal fields, modelling ABSTRACT A numerical model of the large scale water and heat flows within the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ), New Zealand is constructed. In the model the regions of high permeability and heat flow in the TVZ coincide, and lie within the TVZ envelope, defined to contain the Taupo Fault Belt and the most recent caldera collapse structures. The model correctly predicts the absence of geothermal fields in the central region of the TVZ, where cold surface groundwater descend to depths close to 8 kilometers before being heated and ascending in discrete plumes at the permeability barrier which occurs at the boundary of the TVZ envelope. The locations of these plumes can be identified with most of the major geothermal fields in the TVZ (Tokaanu, Lake Taupo, Wairakei and Tauhara, Rotokawa, Ohaaki, Waiotapu and Waikite, Tikitere, Rotoiti and Rotoma, Rotorua, Mokai). In addition, the model predicts two bands of convective upflow across the TVZ, both of which correspond roughly to the known geothermal features of Ngatamariki and Orakeikorako in the south, and Lakes Rotomahana and Tarawera in the north. 1. INTRODUCTION The Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is a region of enhanced Figure 1.
