Structural damage in Gisborne City and damage to services and roading was limited. Stronger ground-motions were apparent between Ormond and Te Karaka, 20km northwest of Gisborne, where soil liquefaction occurred on the Waipaoa River flats, and some natural slopes failed.

  • Proposal for Tūranganui-A-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [Alteration from Poverty Bay]
    Proposal for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [alteration from Poverty Bay] Image provided by proposer Inset NZTopo250 mosaic Crown copyright reserved Summary Gisborne District Council (GDC) proposes altering the existing recorded name, Poverty Bay, for the bay south of Gisborne (town), to a dual name Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay. In 1769 Lieutenant James Cook named the feature Poverty Bay because he was unable to resupply at the bay1. There are several kōrero for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa relating to Kiwa of the Horouta or Tākitimu waka. A commonly cited meaning is ‘the great [or long] standing place of Kiwa’. GDC’s reasons for the proposal include: - restoring an original Māori name, - a dual name being representative of the area’s bicultural heritage, - support for te reo Māori, - possible economic and tourism benefits, - some evidence of community support for a dual name, - a name change fostering positive cultural and social outcomes. GDC consulted with Tūranga iwi: Ngai Tāmanuhiri, Rongowhakaata, and Te Aitanga a Māhaki, who it identified as mana whenua. Letters of support are included, although they each support only the original Māori name, not a 1 J A Mackay (1949), Historic Poverty Bay and the East Coast, North Island, New Zealand, Gisborne, Chapter V – the Unhappy Naming of Povery Bay. – accessed 20 March 2018 NZGB meeting 12 April 2018 Page 1 of 11 Linzone ID: A3204829 dual name. The Secretariat requested Te Puni Kōkiri to confirm consultation requirements with any other iwi/hapū. GDC also publicly consulted for two weeks during January-February 2018. The proposal includes the responses and a summary of the results.

  • Research Report 3: Waimata River Sheridan Gundry
    TE AWAROA: RESTORING NEW ZEALAND RIVERS RESEARCH REPORT 3: WAIMATA RIVER SHERIDAN GUNDRY THE WAIMATA RIVER: SETTLER HISTORY POST 1880 The Waimata River – Settler History post 1880 Sheridan Gundry, Te Awaroa Project Report No. 3 Land within the Waimata River catchment, comprising about 220 square kilometres1, began to be available for purchase after the passing of the Native Lands Act 1865 and subsequent land surveys and issuing of legal Crown title. The lower reaches of the Waimata River – including parts of the Kaiti, Whataupoko and Pouawa blocks – were the first to go into European ownership from around 1880, when John and Thomas Holden bought the 7000 acre Rimuroa block; the Hansen brothers bought about 8000 acres comprising Horoeka, Maka and Weka; Bennet bought the 1100 acre Kanuka block; and Charles Gray, the Waiohika block. The next year, in 1881, the Kenway brothers bought the 3000-acre Te Pahi further upriver. The Kenways gave the property the name Te Pahi, meaning The End, because at the time it was at the end of the road with nothing beyond.2 This soon changed with further purchases of Maori land beyond Te Pahi continuing through to the late 1890s. Further land became available in the south, east and north Waimata with the New Zealand Native Land Settlement Company offering about 20,000 acres for sale in late 1882. The blocks “conveyed to the company” were approved by the Trust Commissioner and titles were to be registered under the Land Transfer Act.3 The areas involved were Waimata South, 9,555; Waimata East, 4,966; Waimata North, 4,828.

  • Tairāwhiti 2050 Shaping the Future of Our Region
    Te Kaunihera o Te Tairāwhiti Gisborne District Council TAIRĀWHITI 2050 SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR REGION TAIRĀWHITI REGIONAL SPATIAL PLAN Adopted by Gisborne District Council 2020 MŌ TĒNEI MĀHERE ABOUT THIS PLAN WHAT IS TAIRĀWHITI 2050 Tairāwhiti 2050 is Gisborne District Council’s vision for the region for the next 30 years. We call this our “spatial plan”, which is a document that: • states our region’s major challenges and how we’ll tackle them. • outlines our shared aspirations for our region’s future wellbeing and what we expect to achieve by 2050. • aligns the strategies and plans of Council, government agencies and other organisations to enable collaboration. • sets direction for regional planning and development, decision-making and investments. • maps out where critical infrastructure, transport connections and development will occur and where there are constraints. WHY WE NEED A SPATIAL PLAN The challenges and opportunities facing those who call Tairāwhiti home are complex and interconnected. How we as a community, plan and respond over the next 30 years will make a significant difference to future generations. Tairāwhiti does not have a stand-alone document that provides a clear and shared vision about what we want our region to look like in the future. Tairāwhiti 2050 therefore considers the current economic, social, environmental, physical and cultural trends so that integrated solutions are found to address the various challenges and opportunities for growth and change. No single organisation can respond alone, so region-wide collaboration is required. Together with communities and agencies we’ve created this plan to provide strategic direction in a way that considers social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing.
