Submissions for 13 Proposed Names on Banks Peninsula Considered by the NZGB on 2 April 2020 Submissions for 13 proposed names on Banks Peninsula Considered by the NZGB on 2 April 2020 Summary At its hui on 18 October 2019 the NZGB accepted 13 proposals to alter or assign: • King Billy Island to Aua / King Billy Island • Mansons Peninsula to Kaitangata / Mansons Peninsula • Coopers Knob to Ōmawete / Coopers Knob • Cass Peak to Ōrongomai / Cass Peak • Dyers Pass to Pukeatua / Dyers Pass • Evans Pass to Tapuwaeharuru / Evans Pass • Rapaki Rock (local use name) to Te Ahi-a-Tamatea • Sugarloaf to Te Heru-o-Kahukura / Sugarloaf • The Tors to Te Moenga-o-Wheke / The Tors • Adderley Head to Te Piaka / Adderley Head • Rapaki to Te Rāpaki-o-Te-Rakiwhakaputa • Tihiokahukura / Castle Rock to Te Tihi-o-Kahukura / Castle Rock • Witch Hill to Te Upoko-o-Kurī / Witch Hill During the public notification period from 20 November 2019 to 20 December 2019 the NZGB received the following numbers of submissions supporting or objecting to the proposals. Proposed name # Supporting # Objecting # Ambiguous Total submissions submissions submissions1 Aua / King Billy Island 172 20 12 204 Kaitangata / Mansons 157 20 14 191 Peninsula Ōmawete / Coopers 157 20 15 192 Knob Ōrongomai / Cass Peak 159 20 13 192 Pukeatua / Dyers Pass 156 23 17 196 Tapuwaeharuru / Evans 157 21 15 193 Pass Te Ahi-a-Tamatea 138 14 32 184 Te Heru-o-Kahukura / 154 20 16 190 Sugarloaf Te Moenga-o-Wheke / 155 20 15 190 The Tors 1 Includes submissions received that did not sufficiently address the proposal, such as a submission about dual names on a proposed name that was not a dual name, or where the dual name is already official. NZGB hui 2 April/Āperira 2020 Page 1 of 9 Linzone ID: A3978321 Te Piaka / Adderley 151 21 16 188 Head Te Rāpaki-o-Te- 141 14 30 185 Rakiwhakaputa Te Tihi-o-Kahukura / 95 1 94 190 Castle Rock Te Upoko-o-Kurī / 153 20 17 190 Witch Hill Total 1945 234 306 2485 Noting 502 unique submissions received from 208 submitters, many chose to duplicate/copy their reasons across multiple proposed names. During the submission period, we received supporting submissions from the following groups: • Rāpaki Rūnanga of Ngāti Wheke (24 signatories, counted as a single submission for this report) • Canterbury Aoraki Conversation Board Te Rūnanga Papa Atawhai o Waitaha me Aoraki (12 members) • Environment Canterbury • Network Waitangi Otautahi Three submitters also emailed supplementary information alongside their online submissions, while two made duplicate submissions online for a single name. These have only been counted as a single submission. The reasons given in the supporting submissions are largely based on acknowledging the history and heritage of the area, restoring the original Māori place names, and believe that the proposed names represent a move to become a more inclusive bicultural society. The reasons given in the objecting submissions are based on long term use of the existing names, that the change would be confusing and costly, and view the proposals as being ’crazy political correctness’. These objections, which are responded to below, are not considered to outweigh the original reasons for the NZGB accepting the proposals. Following the October 2019 NZGB hui, the Rāpaki Rūnaka requested an amendment to the name Te Rāpaki-o-Te-Rakiwhakaputa, to remove the hyphen between ’Te’ and ‘Rakiwhakaputa’ as Te Rakiwhakaputa is the name of the ancestor who laid down his rāpaki (waist mat) on the beach of the area. Although the name included this hyphen in the public notification, the Secretariat recommends removing it from the name going forward. This change will not impact the submissions received. Section 18(2) of the NZGB Act 2008 provides for the NZGB to obtain any further information necessary to enable it to decide on an objection. NZGB hui 2 April/Āperira 2020 Page 2 of 9 Linzone ID: A3978321 Secretariat recommendations At its 2 April 2020 hui the NZGB resolved these recommendations Recommendation 1 Consider all submissions on the proposals to alter or assign 13 place names in Banks Peninsula. and Reject all of the objecting submissions based on the reasons provided not outweighing those that the NZGB previously accepted for the proposals, being: • long term use of the English name, restoring the original Māori name and the dual name recognising the equal significance of both names, • restoring original Māori names and correcting the orthography for existing original Māori names, and Confirm the NZGB’s earlier decisions to accept the proposals to alter existing official or unofficial and recorded names from: • King Billy Island to Aua / King Billy Island • Mansons Peninsula to Kaitangata / Mansons Peninsula • Coopers Knob to Ōmawete / Coopers Knob • Cass Peak to Ōrongomai / Cass Peak • Dyers Pass to Pukeatua / Dyers Pass • Evans Pass to Tapuwaeharuru / Evans Pass • Sugarloaf to Te Heru-o-Kahukura / Sugarloaf • The Tors to Te Moenga-o-Wheke / The Tors, and amend the location of the feature and the feature type from hill to rocks • Adderley Head to Te Piaka / Adderley Head • Rapaki to Te Rāpaki-o-Te Rakiwhakaputa, noting the removal of the hyphen between Te Rakiwhakaputa • Tihiokahukura/Castle Rock to Te Tihi-o-Kahukura / Castle Rock • Witch Hill to Te Upoko-o-Kurī / Witch Hill and to assign a new name: • Te Ahi-a-Tamatea to the feature known locally as Rapaki Rock, and Report the NZGB’s decisions to the Minister for Land Information, and Request the Minister for Land Information to make the final determinations on the proposals. Recommendation 2 Subject to the Minister’s final determination, the NZGB recommends discussing with Ngāi Tahu and DOC altering the official names of the following associated Crown protected areas, for consistency with the NZGB’s recommendations for the associated proposed names: • Witch Hill Scenic Reserve to Te Upoko-o-Kurī / Witch Hill Scenic Reserve • The Tors Scenic Reserve to Te Moenga-o-Wheke / The Tors Scenic Reserve • King Billy Island Scenic Reserve to Aua / King Billy Island Scenic Reserve • Cass Peak Scenic Reserve to Ōrongomai / Cass Peak Scenic Reserve • Coopers Knob Scenic Reserve to Ōmawete / Coopers Knob Scenic Reserve • Adderley Head Scenic Reserve to Te Piaka / Adderley Head Scenic Reserve • Sugarloaf Scenic Reserve to Te Heru-o-Kahukura / Sugarloaf Scenic Reserve. NZGB hui 2 April/Āperira 2020 Page 3 of 9 Linzone ID: A3978321 Recommendation 3 The Secretariat seeks to approve as official the associated recorded name, Rapaki Bay to Rāpaki Bay, through the section 24 ‘fast-track’ process for consistency, subject to Te Rāpaki-o-Te Rakiwhakaputa (locality) being approved as official by the Minister for Land Information. Background NZGB minutes The NZGB agreed that the associated Crown protected area names in the additional 18 October 2019 Secretariat recommendation on page 1 of the report be deferred until any submissions are received, and to amend the 4th bullet point in the recommendation to ‘Cass Peak Scenic Reserve to Ōrongomai / Cass Peak Scenic Reserve’. The NZGB also deferred recommendation 2 in the cover report for Rapaki Bay to Rāpaki Bay until after any submissions are processed. No. 9: Taukahara: The NZGB noted that this is the name is for the valley rather than a locality and agreed to notify an amending gazette for its position and feature type. No.7: Te Rāpaki-o-Te Rakiwhakaputa: The NZGB expressed some concern about the length of the name given it is a populated locality. The NZGB agreed that it was important to retain the whole story told in the name and the locality is likely to continue to be shortened to Rāpaki by locals in everyday speech. The NZGB noted the associated name Rapaki Bay and agreed to consider the recommendation to approve it in the standardised form, Rāpaki Bay, once the locality name has been through the statutory process. 11 and 14: Aua / King Billy Island and Te Piaka / Adderley Head: The NZGB agreed that it has no maritime safety concerns. Notification Advice to mana On 14 November 2019 the Secretariat advised Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the proposer, whenua that the that the NZGB would be publicly notifying the proposals between 20 November 2019 NZGB would be and 20 December 2019. publicly notifying the proposals Advice to MPs On 22 October 2019 the Secretariat advised the Members of Parliament for Port Hills, Selwyn, and Te Tai Tonga electorates and all adjacent electorates, that the proposals would be notified from 20 November 2019 to 20 December 2019. Public notification The NZGB advertised that the proposals were open for submissions: including social - in the New Zealand Gazette media - in the Sunday Star Times, Bay Harbour News and Christchurch Press - on the LINZ2 Consultation and Facebook™ pages, and the New Zealand Government’s Consultation page. An advertisement was submitted to Te Puni Kōkiri’s events calendar Rauika, on 20 November 2019, but was not published. Media The NZGB released a media advisory in te reo Māori and English when consultation began on 20 November 2019. It was posted on the LINZ website and Scoop.co.nz 2 Land Information New Zealand NZGB hui 2 April/Āperira 2020 Page 4 of 9 Linzone ID: A3978321 syndicated it on the same day. On 29 November 2019 the Otago Daily Times published a brief article3 advising that the submissions on the proposal would be open until 20 December 2019. Submissions Overview During the notification period between 20 November 2019 and 20 December 2019 the NZGB received 1945 submissions supporting and 234 submissions objecting to the proposal. An additional 306 submissions are considered ambiguous, being unclear whether the submitter supported the dual name or the Māori name only, or where the content of the submission did not address the proposal, particularly: • many objecting submissions received for Te Tihi-o-Kahukura / Castle Rock were objecting to the dual name.

  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

Over 2001- 2002 the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus based determinands (nutrients) were measured while over 2006-2007 the concentrations of nutrients, chlorophyll-a, total suspended solids, enterococci, and salinity were measured. The bays sampled were primarily selected to represent a range of geographic locations around the peninsula. These bays varied in regard to aspect of the entrance, length, width and land use. The bays sampled over both time periods were Pigeon Bay, Little Akaloa, Okains Bay, Le Bons Bay, Otanerito and Flea Bay. Hickory Bay and Te Oka Bay were also sampled over 2001-2002 but not over 2006-2007 while Port Levy and Tumbledown Bay were sampled over 2006-2007 but not over 2001-2002. Median concentrations of the nutrients ammonia nitrogen (NH3N), nitrate-nitrite nitrogen (NNN), total nitrogen (TN), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) and total phosphorus (TP) were typically comparable to those reported from sites north and south of Banks Peninsula but some differed from those in Akaroa and Lyttelton harbours.

Villeneuve2 and I. Walsh2 ABSTRACT At 12.51 pm (NZST) on 22 February 2011 a shallow, magnitude MW 6.2 earthquake with an epicentre located just south of Christchurch, New Zealand, caused widespread devastation including building collapse, liquefaction and landslides. Throughout the Port Hills of Banks Peninsula on the southern fringes of Christchurch landslide and ground damage caused by the earthquake included rock-fall (both cliff collapse and boulder roll), incipient loess landslides, and retaining wall and fill failures. Four deaths from rock-fall occurred during the mainshock and one during an aftershock later in the afternoon of the 22nd. Hundreds of houses were damaged by rock-falls and landslide-induced ground cracking. Four distinct landslide or ground failure types have been recognised. Firstly, rocks fell from lava outcrops on the Port Hills and rolled and bounced over hundreds of metres damaging houses located on lower slopes and on valley floors. Secondly, over-steepened present-day and former sea-cliffs collapsed catastrophically. Houses were damaged by tension cracks on the slopes above the cliff faces and by debris inundation at the toe of the slopes.

Vick ([email protected]) ORCHID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9159-071X Abstract. Rockfall modelling is an essential tool for hazard analysis in steep terrain. Calibrating terrain parameters ensures that the model results accurately represent the site-specific hazard. Parameterizing rockfall models is challenging because rockfall runout is highly sensitive to initial conditions, rock shape, size and material properties, terrain morphology, and 15 terrain material properties. This contribution examines the mechanics of terrain scarring due to rockfall on the Port Hills of Christchurch, New Zealand. We use field-scale testing and laboratory direct-shear testing to quantify how the changing moisture content of the loessial soils can influence its strength from soft to hard, and vice versa. We calibrate the three-dimensional rockfall model RAMMS by back analysing several well-documented rockfall events, adopting dry loessial soil conditions.
