Pre-Fabricated Homes Investment Prospectus
Pre-fabricated Homes South Waikato District Investment Prospectus Council Nau mai, haere mai WEL COME From the Mayor Dear Investor, we are proud to present our District to you as you consider where in New Zealand to establish an offsite pre-fabricated home manufacturing facility. Since the early 1890s with native timber processing in Putāruru, through to the establishment of commercial forests of Pinus radiata in the 1920s and the building of the Kinleith Timber, Paper and Pulp Mill in 1954, the South Waikato has been at the forefront of technological innovations in timber processing. Timber is in the DNA of our people and communities, who are both ready and able to support your development. South Waikato District Mayor Jenny Shattock From the Chair (SWIFT) The South Waikato Investment Fund Trust (SWIFT) believes that Putāruru is an outstanding location to establish a large scale manufacturing facility. Financially the low cost of land, proximity to raw materials and labour, coupled with direct road and rail links makes for a compelling business case. The social impact of this kind of investment would be transformational, both directly and indirectly, accelerating the delivery of inclusive growth for one of New Zealand’s most progressive Districts. Ian Elliott, SWIFT Chairperson From the SWDC Chief Executive The South Waikato has a plentiful supply of low cost land, located on State Highway one, within two and a half hours’* drive time of over half of New Zealand’s population. With direct rail links to the Port of Tauranga and beyond, importing and exporting is simple and cost effective. -
Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years.

Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan
Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan November 2020 – February 2022 Architectus acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our company is located and where we conduct our business. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Architectus is committed to honoring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society About the artwork Architectus commissioned Heather Kamarra Shearer to complete a unique art piece to support our first Reconciliation Action Plan. This artwork is both a representation of a ‘map and an agreement’, at the start of the Architectus reconciliation action journey, that expresses the elements of cultural understanding required for Architectus to effectively contribute to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The understanding between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal world views are represented by the two halves of the symbol for Aboriginal community and the protractor coming together and completing the circle in the centre of the painting is surrounded by people of all cultural background. This symbol of balance, understanding and mutual respect is set in the centre of the perspective, acknowledging that achieving this balance is still off in the future. But may-be not too far away. 1 A message from Reconciliation Australia Reconciliation Australia welcomes Since 2006, RAPs have provided a framework It is critical to not only uphold all five dimensions for organisations to leverage their structures of reconciliation, but also increase awareness Architectus to the Reconciliation and diverse spheres of influence to support the of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, Action Plan (RAP) program with the national reconciliation movement. -
How the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence Led to a Departure from Concrete Technologies
A CHANGE OF SCENE: HOW THE CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE LED TO A DEPARTURE FROM CONCRETE TECHNOLOGIES Morten Gjerde 1 School of Architecture, Victoria University of Wellington, P.O. Box 600, Wellington, 6140, New Zealand Over time, nature can expose even the slightest weakness. This became very clear following a sequence of unexpected earthquakes that struck in Christchurch, New Zealand earlier this decade. At the time the quakes struck, research and development with concrete building technology Canterbury had gained an international reputation and contributed significantly to the region's development. Structural and architectural innovation helped make concrete the material of choice for new commercial buildings. The paper outlines some of the key architectural and structural innovations evident in the buildings of the city. The earthquake sequence exposed several shortcomings in the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, including to several buildings that represent key moments along the innovation pathway. Now that the rebuild is well under way it is becoming clear with every building that is completed that the city’s visual character will be significantly different. The emerging character appears to be developing around the global materials of steel and glass, with concrete no longer featuring in the ways it had. The paper discusses the background to this departure and how it signals the end of a productive period of innovation with this local material. Keywords: Christchurch earthquakes, performance, concrete, disaster, innovation INTRODUCTION Throughout its brief history of post-colonial settlement, and prior to the widespread losses arising from the 2010-12 seismic sequence, Christchurch had gained a well-deserved reputation for the quality of its built environment. -
Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy
Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy Volume 1 Published by Department of Conservation/Te Papa Atawhai Private Bag 4715 Christchurch New Zealand First published 2000 Canterbury Conservation Management Planning Series No. 10 ISSN: 1171-5391-10 ISBN: 0-478-01991-2 Foreword Canterbury is rich in its variety of indigenous plants and animals, its historic heritage and relics, and its landscapes. Its physical features are dramatic, ranging from the majestic Southern Alps to the Canterbury Plains, from forested foothills to rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. These features also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities. The Department of Conservation’s Canterbury Conservancy is responsible for some 1293 units of land, and for the protection of important natural resources generally. To help manage these resources and activities the Conservancy, in consultation with the then North Canterbury and Aoraki Conservation Boards, has prepared a Conservation Management Strategy (CMS). The CMS sets out the management directions the Conservancy will take for the next ten years, the objectives it wants to achieve and the means by which it will achieve these. The draft CMS was released for public comment on 18 November 1995. Submissions closed on 1 April 1996, and 174 were received. Public oral submissions were heard in May and June of 1996. Consultation with Ngäi Tahu Papatipu Rünanga occurred from July to December 1996, and with Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu from July 1996 to May 1997. A summary of submissions and a decision schedule indicating the extent of acceptance of all submissions was prepared and given full consideration in revising the draft CMS. The revised draft CMS and summary of submissions was presented to the Conservation Boards for their consideration.
