(see inventory page 4) This submission will show that maori reserves in Wellington region were created and defined by various agreements: a. the New Zealand Company's 1839 deed (with 'tenths' covenant) and accompanying 1840 and 1842 surveys and allocations of sections; b. pledges to exclude occupied lands, uplifted into the 1844 releases of (and compensation for) maori interests remaining after the 1839 agreement; c. the 1847 exchanges of the occupied lands excluded from the 1844 releases for blocks depicted in the plans accompanying the 1848 Port Nicholson Crown Grant. The Reserves featured in these agreements as the central element (the purchase consideration) in the negotiations for Te Atiawaffaranaki's extinguishment of their customary title to Wellington region as a whole. This submission will show that as long as Te Atiawaffaranaki and/or the New Zealand Company were unsatisfied with the Reserves provisions, the Crown could not effect the extinguishment and transfer of title to Wellington region. With extinguishment pending, title to and adminstration of the reserves was necessarily and essentially ad hoc. Seen as purchase consideration, dangling alongside the protracted negotiations for extinguishment of customary title, the reserves must have been initially objects of the Crown's Treaty guarantee of protection of customary possession. However as that very 3 protection diminished through the 1840's, so the consideration for extinguishment dwindled. That is, the lands to be reserved became variously narrower in definition, smaller in area, reduced in quality, and less secure in their possession. This removal of protection and deterioration of reserves was epitomized in the 1840's by the early occupation for military purposes of lands that were already both traditional cultivations and Company-selected reserves. Once so begun, with the Treaty's protection of their possession of the region as a whole dwindling, and with pressures growing to move out of the developing central town (and region altogether), Te Atiawaffaranaki had little option but to accept the Crown's permanent alienation of over 77 acres of their town cultivations and reserves between 1851 and 1853. Except for the few acres contained within the fences of Pipitea, Kumutoto and Te Aro pa, the Crown acquired virtually all of the reserved lands that were close-in to Wellington city - in most cases without paying any compensation until the late 1870's. Petitions for the lands' return, beginning ill 1860, eventually brought Te Atiawaffaranaki to the Court of Appeal to try to reverse one of these takings. They sought to cancel the 1851 Crown Grant that had endowed Wellington Hospital with 12a Or 11.5p of Maori Reserve. The Court of Appeal decided, however, that as there was no specific statutory authority to create Native Reserves out of Crown demesne prior to the time of the grant, the lands could not legally have been Reserve, and must have been simply Crown demesne. Further, they found no solemn act of the Crown binding its estate in these demesne lands in trust for the benefit of Te Atiawaffaranaki. 4 As a result, in 1874 and 1877 Te Atiawa/Taranaki accepted minimal compensation nowhere near the value of the lands, specifically calculated with the lost court case in mind. In 1876 just 1 1/2 acres out of the Hospital endowment sold for more than Te Atiawa/Taranaki's entire compensation. As another result, Te Atiawa/Taranaki lost considerable influence in the Crown's Commissioners' administration and control of the Reserves. Accountable administration became a fiction, epitomized this time in the 1873 Native Reserves Act. The entire reserve estate was thrown into confusion for at least twenty years. Te Atiawa/Taranaki's loss of general influence m local affairs, along with their landholding dominance of the central city area, IS immense. Today, Te Atiawa/Taranaki's lost reserve lands still provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in rents annually to the Area Health Board and the Crown's Consolidated Fund - thousands the Crown is saved from raising in taxes. 5 Lands Lost to Crown Around 1850 (see Heaphy Block Plan of City 1870) Hospital Endowment 5/11/51 Sections Area 594 & pt 584 1 2 26 Pt sections 539 & 580 1 2 25.5 Pt 514 1 0 3 636 1 0 32 Part 545 0 1 20 574 1 0 24 591 & Part 592,601, 602, 605 4 1 6 Pt Sections 606,607,608 o 2 35 12a Or 11.5p Wellington College 7LlOL53 604 and Pts 592, 601, 602, 603, 605, 606 607, and 608 5 1 32 270, 271, 272, 278, 279 5 0 0 lOa 1r 32p Buckle Street Barracks (Occupied ~ 1846) 89 and 90 2 0 0 2a Or Op Wesleyan SchoollBotanical Gardens 27L10L52 Town Belt 52a 3r 37p Old St. Paul's Cathedral 20L?

They averred that the 1839 agreement had been subsequently duly allowed by the Crown. They argued that under the New Zealand Company Colonization Act (10 & 11 Vict. cap 112), the Crown had acquired the Company's lands upon failure of the Company in 1850 "subject, nevertheless, among other things, to any contracts which should then be subsisting in regard to any of the said lands."l The lands must have therefore vested in the Crown subject to the Company's covenant to create and administer reserves for the benefit of Te Atiawaffaranaki. The judges decided that when the lands vested in the Crown they could not have been encumbered with this particular covenant to reserve· a tenth of the lands conveyed, because "the purchase of these lands was never at any time expressly allowed according to the terms of the deed of September 1839."2 lWai 145 Doc A7(b) pp 15-16 and 25-26. 2A7(b) P 27. The judges mention the Attorney-General's argument that an action of scire facias could not be used to enforce a "mere equity." Without having consulted counsel on this point yet, we take this to mean that Te Atiawaffaranaki had to show creation of an express trust, and could not rely upon the Court to declare a constructive trust or one arising by operation of law. 8 The judges volunteered another reason against the more general possibility that the lost lands could have been encumbered with any of the Company's covenants to reserve: "it is expressly found that in [the] Crown grants no title was to be given by the Crown to the Company in respect of the very lands" in dispute, ie, the Native Reserves themselves (as opposed to settlers' sections, public reserves, the Company's own estate, etc.).3 Te Atiawa!Taranaki submitted two amendments to their original declaration. The amendments posed problems of evidence: Te Atiawa!Taranaki had not presented

  • TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES of the TRAIL: This Trail Will Take About Four Hours to Drive and View at an Easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA Pace
    WELLINGTON’S TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA HERITAGE TRAIL MAIN FEATURES OF THE TRAIL: This trail will take about four hours to drive and view at an easy TE ARA O NGA TUPUNA pace. Vantage points are mostly accessible by wheelchair but there are steps at some sites such as Rangitatau and Uruhau pa. A Pou (carved post), a rock or an information panel mark various sites on the trail. These sites have been identified with a symbol. While the trail participants will appreciate that many of the traditional sites occupied by Maori in the past have either been built over or destroyed, but they still have a strong spiritual presence. There are several more modern Maori buildings such as Pipitea Marae and Tapu Te Ranga Marae, to give trail participants a selection of Maori sites through different periods of history. ABOUT THE TRAIL: The trail starts at the Pipitea Marae in Thorndon Quay, opposite the Railway Station, and finishes at Owhiro Bay on the often wild, southern coast of Wellington. While not all the old pa, kainga, cultivation and burial sites of Wellington have been included in this trail, those that are have been selected for their accessibility to the public, and their viewing interest. Rock Pou Information panel Alexander Turnbull Library The Wellington City Council is grateful for the significant contribution made by the original heritage Trails comittee to the development of this trail — Oroya Day, Sallie Hill, Ken Scadden and Con Flinkenberg.

  • Pinehaven Stream Improvements Archaeological Assessment of Pinehaven Stream Floodplain Management
    Pinehaven Stream Improvements Archaeological assessment of Pinehaven Stream Floodplain Management July 2017 Archaeological assessment of Pinehaven Stream Floodplain Management for Jacobs Ltd Kevin L. Jones Kevin L. Jones Archaeologist Ltd 6/13 Leeds Street WELLINGTON 6011 [email protected] Wellington 15 July 2017 Caption frontispiece: Pinehaven c. 1969 viewed from the north. Trentham camp mid-left, St Patricks (Silverstream) College at right. Pinehaven Stream runs across the centre of the photograph. Source: Hutt City Library. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This assessment reviews the risk of there being archaeological sites as defined in the Heritage NZ Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 in the vicinity of the works proposed for the Pinehaven Stream. The geomorphology of the area has been reviewed to determine whether there are older land surfaces that would have been suitable for pre-European or 19th C settlement. Remnant forest trees indicate several areas of older but low-lying (flood-prone) surfaces but field inspections indicate no archaeological sites. A review of earlier (1943) aerial photographs and 19th C survey plans indicate no reasonable cause to suspect that there will be archaeological sites. A settlement established in 1837 by Te Kaeaea of Ngati Tama in the general area of St Patricks College Silverstream is more or less on the outwash plain of the Pinehaven Stream. The fan north of the college is heavily cut into by the edge of the Hutt valley flood plain. This is the only historically documented 19th C Maori settlement on the Pinehaven Stream fan but it is outside the area of proposed works. Another broad class of archaeological site may be earlier forms of infrastructure on the stream such as dams, mills, races, bridges, abutments, and logging and rail infrastructure.

  • Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver)
    Northern Mount Victoria Historical Society Walking Guide Tour (Alan Middleton- Olliver) Captain C.W. Mein Smith's original map "Plan of the Town of Wellington, Port Nicholson, 14 August 1840" For the New Zealand Company established the basic street structure for Mount Victoria. Whereas southern Mount Victoria was an extension of the Te Aro flat grid street pattern, the steepness of the land in northern Mount Victoria, dictated some alteration to the grid pattern. The original streets of the suburb were Majoribanks, Pirie and Ellice in the east west direction, Brougham and Austin Streets and Kent Terrace in the north south direction, with Roxburgh, Mcfarlane, and Hawker streets and Clyde Quay in the northern area. The map also shows the proposed canal route along to the Basin and Hawker street going over the hill and joining onto Oriental Terrace, now Oriental Parade. Approximately 36 acres were surveyed and defined in the northern area. Initial building development was haphazard as some acres had been purchased by land speculators. Thomas Ward's 1891 Survey of Wellington map shows the number of streets and pedestrian lanes in Mount Victoria had increased from 10 to 27, and by 1933 there were 47. Studying the Street maps and examining the Wises Directories gives a good indication of the development of the streets. These streets were at varying widths, including pedestrian lanes, and resulted from the haphazard subdivision of the original acres and the peculiarities of local topography. Some streets began as small private pedestrian lanes, which were only taken over by the Council at a much later date.

  • Pre-Emption, the Treaty of Waitangi and the Politics of Crown Purchase
    Pre-emption, the Treaty of Waitangi and the Politics of Crown Purchase THE TREATY OF WAITANGI was once seen as something unique to the late 1830s, hurriedly devised and reflecting the specific humanitarian, political or international pressures of the moment.1 After the work of Claudia Orange and the new legal studies of the Treaty and international law, this idea of uniqueness is no longer sustainable.2 The Treaty expressed a series of views about sovereignty and property extending back at least to the early colonization of North America.3 But, while not unique, the Treaty of Waitangi was certainly an unusual example of treaties with indigenous peoples, especially in its time. Most North American treaties followed warfare against Native American nations, and ceded large areas of territory to the Crown or the United States. The uncompromising protection of Maori rights to land and other property in the Treaty of Waitangi was unusual, especially when its drafters anticipated large-scale colonization to follow almost immediately. Most of the historical debate has been on the diverse political influences on the evolution of Colonial Office policy between 1835 and 1840,4 but more recently, attention has turned to the Maori side of the Treaty, exploring the nature and limitations of Maori understandings of and agreement to the 1 K.

  • The Land Story – Crofton/Ngaio Methodist Presbyterian and Union
    1 THE LAND STORY – CROFTON/NGAIO METHODIST PRESBYTERIAN AND UNION CHURCHES The Crofton/Ngaio Methodist, Presbyterian and Union land story covers the earliest aspects of Maori history of the area, the initial sales to the New Zealand Company, and a brief resume of subsequent occupants, purchasers, titles and building in order to answer the key questions posed by the Connexion. The story of the groups who planned and used the churches is told fully in First a church... the continuing story of Ngaio Methodist, Presbyterian and Union Churches by Elaine E Bolitho, published December 2004 by the Ngaio Union Church. Ngaio Union’s parish boundaries also include the former Cashmere Methodist Community Centre (111 Cashmere Avenue, Khandallah) demolished in 2001. The story of this property, and its regeneration as the Cochran Hall at the Cashmere Avenue School is told in the Cashmere Land Story, and in The Vision Restored, published by Ngaio Union Church in May 2003. Ngaio Union, as the legal successor to the proceeds held in trust from the Cashmere land sale, was granted funding for approved capital work on the Ngaio Union property, thus ensuring that in 2005 all buildings were fully compliant.

  • Te Aro Park, Actions Taken to Date and Potential Solutions
    Executive Summary This report outlines safety concerns within Te Aro Park, actions taken to date and potential solutions. The numbers of events associated with social harm, occurring within the park are consistently higher in Te Aro Park than other central city parks. In order to improve safety within Te Aro Park the report outlines a number of options to address these issues, which have been categorised into projects for possible implementation over short, medium and long term and are outlined below. Short Term - as at January 2020 • Increased maintenance of the park – inclusion of Te Aro Park in the Central City Cleaning contract. • Removal of the canopy between the two toilet blocks and addition of directional lighting. • Lighting changes o If the canopy between the two toilets is not removed, additional lighting should be installed. o Vertical lighting should be installed on the Opera House side to improve night-time flow and a more defined route. o Lighting should also be added to the murals on the toilet building to increase attention to the artwork. o Lights should be added to the canopy of the Oaks building o Canopy lighting should be added to the tree. • Remove Spark phone booth as it creates blind spots and concealments. • Installing pedestrian crossings into both Manners and Dixon street to improve safe access to the park • Increase patrols to the Te Aro Park area during the hours of high activity and high social harm - this includes Police, Local Hosts and Maori Wardens • Improve guardianship of the park by involving businesses and other stakeholders in activity that occurs within the park, with central coordination from Council and intentional place-making Medium Term • Recognise and acknowledge the cultural significance of the park with interpretive signage and revitalise the park into more of a destination.
