  • TE AROHA in the 1890S Philip Hart
    TE AROHA IN THE 1890s Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 115 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 TE AROHA IN THE 1890s Abstract: During the 1890s the town slowly increased in size and became economically stronger despite mining, for most of this decade, no longer flourishing. Other occupations became more important, with farming and tending to the needs of tourists being pre-eminent. Residents continued to grumble over the need for improvements, the cost of housing, high rents, and a poor system of tenure, but the establishment of a borough meant that some more improvements could be provided. As the town developed the poor- quality buildings hastily erected in its early days were seen as disfiguring it, and gradually the streets and footpaths were improved. As previously, storms and fires were notable experiences, the latter revealing the need for a water supply and fire fighting equipment. And also as previously, there were many ways to enliven small town life in mostly respectable ways, notably the library, clubs, sports, horse racing, the Volunteers, and entertainments of all kinds, details of which illustrate the texture of social life. Despite disparaging remarks by outsiders, living at Te Aroha need not be as dull as was claimed. POPULATION The census taken on 5 April 1891 recorded 615 residents, 307 males and 308 females, in the town district.1 The electoral roll of June revealed that miners remained the largest group: 19, plus two mine managers.

  • The Te Aroha Battery, Erected in 1881
    THE TE AROHA BATTERY, ERECTED IN 1881 Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 72 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 THE TE AROHA BATTERY, ERECTED IN 1881 Abstract: As a local battery was a basic requirement for the field, after some proposals came to nothing a meeting held in January 1881 agreed to form a company to erect and operate one. Although prominent members of the new field were elected as provisional directors, raising capital was a slow process, as many potential investors feared to lose their investments. Once two-thirds of the capital was raised, the Te Aroha Quartz Crushing Company, formed in February, was registered in April. Its shareholders came from a wide area and had very varied occupations. A reconditioned battery, erected in what would become Boundary Street in Te Aroha, was opened with much festivity and optimism in April. It was handicapped by a lack of roads from the mines and insufficient water power, and when the first crushing made the poverty of the ore very apparent it closed after working for only two months. Being such a bad investment, shareholders were reluctant to pay calls. Sold in 1883 but not used, after being sold again in 1888 its machinery was removed; the building itself was destroyed in the following year in one of Te Aroha’s many gales. PLANNING TO ERECT A BATTERY Without a local battery, testing and treating ore was difficult and expensive, and the success or otherwise of the goldfield remained unknown.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • Next Top Engineering Scientist 2015 Judges Report
    Next Top Engineering Scientist 2015 Judges report The seventh annual “Next Top Engineering Scientist competition” was held from 9am to 6pm on Saturday August 1st, 2015. The question posed was “If a New Zealand student uploads a video clip that goes viral, how long will it take before 1% of the world’s population has seen it?” Teams calculated answers that ranged from just a few minutes through to never. The quality of submissions was generally high, with many teams using innovative approaches to solving the problem, including an increasing number of teams making use of computer programming. As with previous years the competition problem was purposefully constructed to be open-ended in nature. To answer the problem required teams to make sensible assumptions around various aspects of the problem including (but not limited to): • The definition of a viral video • The characteristics of the video (e.g. language, length and genre) • The potential audience • The propagation channels (e.g. youtube, facebook, twitter, etc.) Participation Statistics We had 179 teams from 68 schools participate this year (from Dargaville and Whangarei up in the north down to Oamaru and Dunedin in the South). 146 teams had four members and 33 teams had three members. The break down by year level was as follows: Year 11 1 Mixed year 11/12 2 Mixed year 11/13 1 Year 12 70 Mixed year 12/13 29 Year 13 76 A total of 173 teams managed to get a report in by the 6pm deadline and we had many “Action shot” photos submitted during the course of the day.
