Waikato & the King Country © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd 221 Waikato & the King Country If the colour green had a homeland this would be it. Verdant fields give way to rolling hills in the countryside around New Zealand’s mightiest river, the Waikato. Visitors from southern England might wonder why they bothered leaving home, especially in quaint towns like Cambridge where every effort has been made to replicate the ‘mother country’. It’s little wonder that Peter Jackson chose the Waikato as the bucolic Shire in his movie adaptation of Lord of the Rings. But this veneer of conspicuous Englishness only partly disguises another reality. Move over hobbits, this is Tainui country. This powerful coalition of related tribes joined with others to elect a king in the 1850s to resist the loss of their land and sovereignty. Although the fertile Waikato was taken from them by war, they retained control of the limestone crags and forests of what became known as the King Country to within a whisper of the 20th century. The back roads along the coast still contain tiny outposts of Maoridom, echoes of an earlier era. Today’s visitors can experience first-hand the area’s genteel/free-wheeling dichotomy. Adrenaline junkies will be drawn to the wild surf of Raglan or rough-and-tumble underground pursuits in the extraordinary Waitomo Caves, while others will warm to the more sedate delights of Te Aroha’s Edwardian thermal complex or Hamilton’s gardens. It’s the Waikato River that symbolises this best – in places idyllic lakes have been created by harnessing it to hydroelectric projects while elsewhere its mauri (life force) flows fast and free.

  • Maori Land in Hauraki
    MAORI LAND IN HAURAKI Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 12 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 MAORI LAND IN HAURAKI Abstract: Imagining the Hauraki Peninsula to contain payable goldfields and knowing that land to the south of Thames had great agricultural potential, Pakeha were determined to acquire it, and were frustrated by what was considered to be ‘Maori intransigence’. For their part, Maori landowners were justifiably concerned about losing their land, and hindered and delayed opening it to settlement for as long as possible. A major difficulty for officials seeking to acquire land was how to determine boundaries between different blocks and how to identify the true owners when there were rival claims put forward by hapu and individuals. Land purchase agents used a variety of means to get blocks through the land court and then to individualize the title, notably the controversial ‘raihana’ policy, which benefited some landowners at the expense of others. The expensive legal process involved often forced those who had proved their ownership to sell land to pay for their success, a success which resulted in grantees treating the land as their personal property rather than tribal property. Some Pakeha as well as many Maori protested at the unfair process; even James Mackay, the most effective practitioner of raihana, came to lament his success and its consequences for the younger generation of Maori (he blamed the system, not himself).

  • Valuation of Water Quality Improvements in the Karapiro Catchment: a Choice Modelling Approach
    Valuation of Water Quality Improvements in the Karapiro Catchment: A Choice Modelling Approach Dan Marsh And Ramesh Baskaran A Contributed Paper to the Australian Agricultural & Resource Economics Society’s Annual Conference, Cairns, February 11-13, 2009. Valuation of Water Quality Improvements in the Karapiro Catchment: A Choice Modelling Approach Dan Marsh1 and Ramesh Baskaran2 1Department of Economics, University of Waikato, Private Bag 3105, Hamilton, New Zealand, [email protected], 2Lincoln University New Zealand [email protected] Abstract Water pollution is widely considered to be one of the most important environmental issues facing New Zealand. Waikato region residents have reported that water pollution is easily their most important environmental concern in each of four attitude surveys conducted by Environment Waikato. Technical and regulatory mechanisms to reduce water pollution, especially non-point source pollution from agriculture are the focus of an intensive research effort both in New Zealand and internationally. This work should assist farmers and policy makers to identify the most cost effective options for achieving any given improvement in water quality. Research described in this paper aims to complement existing research projects by developing appropriate methodology for valuation of water quality improvements in New Zealand. It is envisaged that this type of information will inform the policy process by allowing decision makers to consider both the costs and the benefits of different levels of water quality improvements. This paper describes the first phase focussed on the Karapiro catchment which used focus groups and choice modelling in order to understand and quantify the value of water quality improvements in the catchment.

  • Arapuni Finally Celebrates a Dam Good Job
    Rassegna Stampa Mercoledì, 24 ottobre 2007 Arapuni finally celebrates a dam good job They've done a dam good job. That was the verdict from all quarters at the completion of the highly challenging two-year Arapuni Dam foundation enhancement project yesterday. In July 2005, Mighty River Power began work on the 80-year-old Arapuni hydro dam, 16km west of Putaruru on the Waikato River, to fix a seepage problem that was first identified in 1929. Yesterday, to the relief of the small Arapuni community, the dam roadway across the Arapuni Gorge, which connects the Waipa and South Waikato district councils, was finally re-opened. Speakers at the opening ceremony praised the "alliance" work of Mighty River Power, Italian foundation-engineering company specialist Trevi, and Brian Perry Civil, which carried out a precision-drilling programme to stabilise fissures in rock beneath the Arapuni Dam. South Waikato mayor Neil Sinclair said it had been a special project for the district. "Over the whole period, there was not one complaint from the community," he said. The $20 million Arapuni project attracted international interest because it was the first of its type to be undertaken world-wide while a dam remained operational. Mighty River Power project manager Tom Newson said the project took a year longer to complete than originally expected because of the difficulty in drilling 136 400mm interconnected holes up to 90 metres in depth from the top of the dam into the rock. The project won a Shell Environmental Excellence merit award at the New Zealand Contractors Federation 2007 conference in recognition of the efforts taken to minimise the environmental impact.

It contains a 400 m thick marine sedimentary succession of Miocene age and Quaternary ignimbrites. The field area comprises 900 km2 of steep to rolling farmland and some large patches of native forest, and includes the towns of Ohura in the west and Taumarunui in the east. There is limited outcrop exposure in the study area, and the sedimentary succession is often weathered.
