1.1 Archaeological Sites Schedule Proposed Thames­Coromandel District Plan ­ Appeals Version Appendix 1 ­ Historic Heritage Schedule 1.1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES SCHEDULE The protection of historic heritage from inappropriate subdivision, use and development is a matter of national importance under Section 6(f) of the Act. Historic heritage includes archaeological sites and is therefore recognised as nationally important. Sustainable management of archaeological sites encompasses the identification, retention and enhancement of heritage values for present and future generations. Archaeological sites carry forward a legacy and provide a story of historic heritage activity. Historic heritage cannot be replicated or replaced, as it is a result of past human activity, and consequently is susceptible to any physical change that may reduce or destroy the qualities that contribute to its significance. Landowners may carry out activities that unwittingly damage heritage values, such as through additions and alterations to buildings or siting fences on archaeological sites. The extent and significance of archaeological sites is developing, given that many parts of the District are yet to have an archaeological survey. The 'item number' in the Schedule relates to an archaeological analysis by Dr Louise Furey. The item number is shown on the Overlay Planning Maps to identify the location, but not the spatial extent, of the archaeological site. The full spatial extent of archaeological sites is not always known as archaeological features are usually underground and not been completely studied. For this reason the archaeological sites are identified by an icon on the Planning Maps rather than an area. The rules in Section 31 Historic Heritage apply to any property identified by one or more archaeological icons on the Planning Maps. All sites have a New Zealand Archaeological Association (NZAA) site number and some have a Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (HNZPT) registration. More information about each site is also held on Council files.

Sites of significance to Māori as a part of the District's historic heritage include wāhi tapu and are recognised as nationally important. Sustainable management of sites of significance to Māori encompasses the identification, retention and enhancement of heritage values for present and future generations. Sites of significance to Māori carry forward a legacy and provide a story of historic heritage activity. The extent and significance of sites of significance to Māori is developing, given that assessment is taking place through the Hauraki Treaty of Waitangi Settlement process and iwi groups are deciding which sites of significance they want to see protected in the Plan. The identification of sites of significance to Māori provides the Council and the community with improved knowledge about sites that are historically and culturally significant to tāngata whenua. Verification of sites can occur through information collected, collated and analysed from Māori Land Court records, Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (HNZPT) assessment, the Hauraki Treaty of Waitangi Settlement process, the Waitangi Tribunal and other sources. The schedule of sites below may be increased over time as some tāngata whenua groups have indicated they would like more sites publicly identified and protected in the Plan. The 'item number' is shown on the Overlay Planning Maps to identify the location, but not the spatial extent, of the sites of significance to Māori. The spatial extent of the sites of significance to Māori listed in Table 2 below (as at October 2013) are detailed in the New Zealand Heritage List/Rarangi Korero (the List) established under the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014. The exception to this is the Waipapa wāhi tapu, whose spatial extent is shown in the Kopu to Thames Structure Plan (August 2010). The rules in Section 31 Historic Heritage apply within the extent identified in the List and Kopu to Thames Structure Plan. Any new sites to be added will also need to have their spatial extent defined, whether in the Plan or in a referenced document.

    EDWARD KERSEY COOPER: A MINE MANAGER AND MINE OWNER IN HAURAKI Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 89 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 EDWARD KERSEY COOPER: A MINE MANAGER AND MINE OWNER IN HAURAKI Abstract: After having a variety of occupations in several countries, Edward Kersey Cooper arrived in New Zealand in 1880 to manage a manganese mine. From 1881 onwards, he was involved in Hauraki mining, commencing with the Waiorongomai field, where he invested in several claims, mostly unproductive ones, and was a mine manager and company director. Here, as elsewhere, he was not reluctant to criticize others, notably those operating the tramway and county councillors (for their perceived lack of support for the mining industry). He remained an outspoken critic of others during all his years trying to make a success of mining, clearly annoying some of his fellow miners with his outspokenness. In 1886 he moved to Waihi, typically exaggerating his role in finding high-grade ore and also typically clashing with other leading miners. From 1887 onwards he was involved with some important mines at Waitekauri, Thames, and, most disastrously of all, Wharekiraupunga. As all these ventures required more capital than local investors could provide, he spent many years travelling to and from England seeking financial support, which was never sufficient; but the fundamental handicap was not having mines with long term and payable prospects. Like so many mine owners, he was over-sanguine, and his finances were shaky, being forced into bankruptcy in 1892.

Coromandel is supplied on a spur off a hard tee connection at Kaimarama and does not have its own dedicated 66kV supply circuit. Historically, the area has always been exposed to long duration outages particularly during extreme weather conditions. Proposed solution Powerco propose to install a new, ≈4km, 110kV-capable underground cable between Kaimarama & Whitianga on road reserve of State Project solution overview Highway 25. This will resolve the capacity constraint between Kaimarama and Whitianga supplying load to the three substations. It will also create a new dedicated 66kV circuit for Coromandel through the removal of the hard tee connection at Kaimarama. The existing 66kV bus 1 Forecast expenditure is based on Powerco’s financial year (i.e. FY19 is for the period April 2018 through March 2019).

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.

  • Charles Manuel: a Miner and Farmer in the Te Aroha District
    CHARLES MANUEL: A MINER AND FARMER IN THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 102 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 CHARLES MANUEL: A MINER AND FARMER IN THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Abstract: Born in Cornwall, Charles Manuel claimed to have mined from an early age. From 1876 onwards he mined at and near Thames, one notably experience being ‘gassed’ during a rescue attempt in the Caledonian mine. Although from the 1880s and until the end of his life he also farmed and took up a variety of contracts, he never abandoned mining, becoming a mine manager in 1896 and working on several Hauraki fields into the early twentieth century. To defend his interests in one mine, he threatened rivals with a revolver. His brother-in-law, William Deeble, was associated with him in various activities, notably on the Thames County Council, where they were a disruptive element. In 1900 he became a farmer in the Piako district, and in 1908 became involved in Waiorongomai mining, obtaining claims and being a director of the Bendigo and Seddon companies. A colleague in these mining ventures was John Endean, along with his wife and son. As a member of the Piako County Council he worked hard for the community, as usual, but also as usual was pugnacious and difficult to work with. In politics, also, he always spoke his mind. A hard worker in his private affairs and public issues, he was successful financially.

  • 2015-16 Speed Limit Review
    1 2015/16 Speed Limit Review Memo Information TO Infrastructure Committee FROM Sam Edlin - Roading Engineer DATE 12 May 2016 SUBJECT 2015/16 Speed Limit Review 1 Purpose of Report For the Infrastructure Committee to consider the proposed speed limits on Ferry Road and Hikutaia Factory Road, Hikutaia and Hikuai Settlement Road, Hikuai and provide a recommendation to Council. 2 Background Speed limits around New Zealand are currently calculated using the Land Transport Rule - Setting of Speed Limits 2003 (the Speed Limit Rule). The objective of the Speed Limit rule is to contribute to a safe and efficient road network by: Establishing speed limits of 50km/h in urban traffic areas and 100km/h on rural roads and motorways. Authorising road controlling authorities to designate urban traffic areas, to set speed limits other than 50km/h on urban roads and less than 100km/h on rural roads, and to set temporary speed limits associated with work on or near the road and for special events. Promoting national uniformity in speed limits by requiring road controlling authorities to apply a consistent method to translate national speed limits policy into a safe and appropriate speed limit for any given road. A safe and appropriate speed limit is one that: Is regarded as reasonable by drivers and residents. Matches the instinctive driving speed of the responsible driver as reflected by the 85th percentile measured speed Takes into account perceived, real and concealed hazards. Is willingly enforced by police (i.e. it is not expected that drivers will ignore the speed limits). Is consistent with national speed policies.
