1.1 Te Ara Tupua - The Ancient Pathway

Overview

Let me take you back to in time immemorial well before man walked upon these islands - when the mountain clan were hauled from the great depths of Te Moananui a Kiwa (the great ocean of Kiwa) to be-calm the fish Maui.

Following the procreation of the mountainous ranges of the central plateau the mountain clan were summoned to the head of the fish where they gathered on the summit of Pukeatua (summit of gods). Upon reaching Pukeatua, they were gifted the ritual incantations of invocations to summon from the depths of the freshwater lake two ancient phenomenon. Reciting the ancient incantations of invocations, they instructed the two Tupua to prise open the great mouth of the fish of Maui.

Each responsible for their own freedom from their land locked imprisonment of the freshwater lake. Both Tupua opting to take different pathways to freedom. One Tupua commenced his journey on the eastern side of the lake, winding himself up and leaving behind a destructive pathway. He hurled himself towards the distant barriers he bashed through escaping the freshwater lake to freedom, unto the great maiden ocean, Hine-moana. It was at this point the freshwater lake met the saltwater for the very first time. In his devastation he left behind geographical icons evident to this day.

The second Tupua opted to take the western pathway, commencing from the throat of the fish of Maui (Korokoro o te lka, later to be named Te Korokoro a Mana), arriving at Ngā Ūranga where he began to wind himself into a coil. Before he could ready himself for his escape, his companion had already broken through leaving a pathway of destruction and causing the water level to recede. In the ever-shallowing waters, the second Tupua, still intent on escape was unable to generate enough speed and momentum and quickly he became stuck on a sandbar. Unable to move any further he remained there for some time as the water washed over his back.

Aeons passed by where a great land mass uplifted him out of the water exposing his body to the open-air elements bringing his life to a sudden end. In passing his spirit took the formation of a spiritual bird – Te Keo, who to this day continues to pursue the pathway of enlightenment.

These two Tupua were both tasked with prising open the mouth of the great fish of Maui and in doing so opting to take alternative pathways. One created the eastern inner Harbour pathway and in doing so left us with the geographical iconic formations of Te Awa Kairangi, Matiu, Makaro, Ngā Mokopuna, Te Au a Tane and many more.

The second, created the western inner Harbour pathway commencing from the throat of the great fist of Maui, leaving behinds the icons of the eastern Harbour Horokiwi, Waihinahina, Parikarangaranga, Paroro-rangi, Tahataharoa and Ngā Ūranga. Each pathway chosen by these Tupua allows for our international visitors to come to Te Whanganui a Tara. The pathway created by Ngāke allowed for the great Pacific navigator Kupe and larger vessels to frequent these shores. Whilst Ngāke was able to break through, Whātaitai still remains and welcomes a many number of people, vessels, and air crafts which arrive daily from both national and international destinations to visit our Harbour.

The name Te Ara Tupua (The Ancient Pathway) is an acknowledgement to the guardians of our Harbour, Ngāke and Whātaitai. They are both Tupua in the own right and I have opted to use the word “Tupua” over the word “Taniwha”. Tupua is a term for a phenomenon, something that is unexplainable and a term that aligns itself the total story of Te Kāhui Maunga, namely:• Te Awa Tupua• Te Kāhui Tupua• Te Ara Tupua

1.2 Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One Vision

The Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One section of Te Ara Tupua (the Project), is a 4.8km shared path (the path) along the edge of Te Whanganui a Tara.

The Project is to construct, operate and maintain a 5m wide path along the coast with ūranga (landings) to be designed as gathering spaces and for coastal planting. The path crosses the rail corridor over the new shared path bridge at Ngā Ūranga (name tbc) near the Ngauranga (Ngā Ūranga) interchange and connects with the Petone (Pito-One) to Melling section of Te Ara Tupua near Korokoro Stream, and Honiana Te Puni Reserve, on the Pito-One Foreshore. It will replace an existing narrow and discontinuous path alongside State Highway 2 (SH2). The Project includes works required at Honiana Te Puni Reserve related to its use during construction.

The footprint for the Project will be formed along the edge of the harbour using a sloped rock revetment and vertical seawalls over existing cobble/gravel/sand (gravel) beaches and, off shore, there will be four constructed habitats for bird roosting.

The design aims to naturalise a highly modified coastal environment, avoid and manage adverse effects and realise significant benefits; as required by the NZ Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) project objectives and the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010 (NZCPS).

Waka Kotahi objectives for Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One

• To provide safe walking and cycling infrastructure connecting Ngā Ūranga and Pito-One, that is a catalyst for increased walking and cycling between Wellington and the Hutt Valley;

• In providing a walking and cycling connection, enhance the resilience of the transport corridor between Ngā Ūranga and Pito-One.

Mana Whenua Partnership

Waka Kotahi and Taranaki Whānui (Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika) have developed a partnership arrangement for the Project, which is facilitated through the Mana Whenua Steering Group (the Steering Group). One of the first acts of the Steering Group was to gift the name 'Te Ara Tupua' to the Project. Te Ara Tupua includes Wellington to Ngā Ūranga, Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One and Pito-One to Melling (P2M) sections.

The Te Ara Tupua Kaitiaki Strategy (Kaitiaki Strategy) provides an articulation of Taranaki Whānui's expectations and aspirations for the Project. The Kaitiaki Strategy was developed by the Taranaki Whānui in collaboration with the Taranaki Whānui representatives on the Steering Group, to assist the Project team, as a 'living' document.

The Kaitiaki Strategy and principles provide an articulation of Taranaki Whānui's identity as it relates to the Project and the environment it will occupy. This identity is grounded in a narrative that speaks to the harbours creation by the great Tupua, Ngāke and Whātaitai. It also means an approach to ensure the narrative of Te Ara Tupua and the principles expressed in the Kaitiaki Strategy are applied and given effect to in the design of the main components of the Project including the overall shape of the footprint and ūranga, the rail over-bridge and other structures, works required at Honiana Te Puni Reserve, materials used, narrative and naming conventions, signage, arrangement of spaces, lighting, sculptures and artwork. Doing this will go some way in appropriately recognising the mana and mouri of Te Ara Tupua .

The Design Vision and Themes

The Project has been developed by an integrated team of specialists across the various fields of design, planning, communications, engineering, legal, ecology and other areas. Mana Whenua are Project partners and sit at both a governance and Project team level. The Kaitiaki Strategy provides the overarching foundation of Taranaki Whānui's aspirations which are brought into Waka Kotahi's objectives for the Project, and are grounded in a holistic understanding of the sites natural and urban landscape context.

The landscape and urban vision for the Project is to:

Restore the mana and mouri of Te Ara Tupua

The design themes, and overall concept, that underpin this vision are of a bold, connected and shared coastal and cultural experience. A Project (including all the main design components) that is fit for its cycling and walking purpose and that honours its setting and name - Te Ara Tupua.

In summary, the design themes are:

• Bold - acknowledge the scale and significance of this dynamic coastal, cultural and spiritual landscape.

• Connected - connect people with this unique coastal and cultural environment, and as a walking and cycling link between our cities.

• Shared - celebrate and breath life into the narrative of Te Ara Tupua as a layered coastal and cultural experience and safe journey for commuter, recreation and event use.

The overall approach is to restore the coastal and cultural landscape as an important connection between communities and the coastal environment; to re-establish its mana and mouri, and, in doing so, make more visible and acknowledge the relationships and values of mana whenua.

The Cultural and Environmental Design Framework (CEDF)

The CEDF is an essential tool that demonstrates Waka Kotahi's expectations for a high quality cycle and pedestrian connection and the requirements to achieve the Project objectives. The CEDF has been prepared by qualified Landscape Architects and Urban Designers, including review and recommendations from the design and specialist assessment team and the Steering Group, and forms part of the resource consent application documentation. Together the CEDF and draft masterplan will be used to help guide future design stages in the Project.

The CEDF is defined through: • The overview - this sets out the Project objectives, the kaitiaki design

principles, an overview of the design themes and concept for the Project along with its policy context and informing background documents.

• The context section analyses the existing environment - constraints and opportunities - as the baseline to achieve the objectives, vision, principles and design themes for the Project.

• Specific design outcomes sets out the parameters and performance requirements for key components, in response to the Project objectives, context, vision, principles and design theme investigations to date - illustrated in the consent design.

• A draft masterplan (masterplan) and concept illustrations of consent design for key features along the project route.

Overview


1.3 Kaitiaki Strategy

A Kaitiaki Strategy has been prepared by Taranaki Whānui advisors. This provides an holistic guide for the project to realise the mana and mouri of Te Ara Tupua.

A summary of the strategy is included here, as an introduction to the design principles that have informed the CEDF and concept to date. The Kaitiaki Strategy is a 'living document' which will be used to guide future stages of the project. The Strategy background section is set out below and the principles in Section 1.11.

"Tenei ka tukuna atu ngā mihi kia koutou katoa

Everything that is here has a whakapapa which is long and deep – within that whakapapa lies our understanding of the world around us. When we re-build that connection we will come to realise that nature has its own way of doing things, of acting, responding and we the ira tangata are only one piece of that story. Our responsibility within that piece is to co-exist with our environment and deeply this strategy considers how that may be achieved as it relates to Te Ara Tupua.

We are not above the environment - we are pieces of an interconnected and interdependent web of tupuna (ancestors) and uri (descendants).

This kaitiaki strategy seeks to correct the relationship we have with our environment through the articulation of our ways of being which are sourced from our Taranaki Whānui association with Te Whanganui a Tara and in particular the creation of our new feature - Te Ara Tupua.

Within our natural lores there is no good or bad, punishment or reward for how we act to one another and our environment. Within our world there are only consequences. When we sit in solemnity with our environment

we will hear and feel the vibrations of whakapapa. When we feel those vibrations, we know intimately what must be done.

Our iwi and wider community have much to gain from re-connecting to our environment, learning its stories, feeling its vibrations of whakapapa and giving heed to its identity. These are the building blocks which will assist us as we respond to the changing needs surrounding climate change, resilience, connection to nature and place as it connects to Te Ara Tupua.

This Kaitiaki Strategy will set out the principles of Te Ara Tupua. More than that it will chart a path of innovation – a tupuna pathway that through its implementation it will see the change in our behaviours that ensure within this corner of our great Harbour, we may be closer to a truer sense of co-existence.

Te Ara Tupua is interlocked with Ngāke and Whātaitai the great Tupua summoned by the Mountain Clan to prise open the mouth of the fish of Maui. Te Ara Tupua seeks to excite people through seeing differently and to generate a natural relationship to our world – the world left behind by Ngāke and Whātaitai.

This Kaitiaki Strategy challenges us as Mana Whenua to do our piece, to conjure up our true understanding of who we are and apply that in manner consistent with our tikanga. With our partners and friends, we will re-create something that others may see as unique, but to us we will see a mirror of our not so distant past.

Informed by the Te Ara Tupua Steering Group, partners and friends - priorities will be set which will inform our work, practice and application of resource.

Figure 1.5 Koke Kōrero - Ngāke & Whātaitai Artwork. Len Hetet, 2019

When you look at this amazing landscape which our Tupua have left behind you quickly come to realise its dynamic nature, its beauty and its wonder and also its age and spirit. Te Whanganui a Tara has a history and memory that stretches far beyond what we can even think to comprehend. In living within this environment – Taranaki Whānui have aspired to live by the standards and principles set before us so we may achieve not only survival but also for permanency and prosperity."


The consent design for Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One (the Project) provides for a 4.5km shared path (the path) on the seaward side of the rail corridor. New land will be constructed along 3.5km of the route including some areas with reclamation. The Project will connect to the Hutt Road section of Te Ara Tupua via a new shared path, pedestrian-cycle, bridge at Ngā Ūranga (name tbc) over the KiwiRail corridor. Connections at the Pito-One will be at grade: under the Pito-One interchange to the Pito-One to Melling section of Te Ara Tupua and; to the Pito-One Esplanade and foreshore through Honiana Te Puni Reserve.

CEDF and Future Stages

The CEDF describes the expected outcomes for the Project. It is to be used by all disciplines in subsequent stages of design development and is a benchmark for the appraisal of the Project as a whole.

Post-consent, the design will be developed through Cultural and Environmental Design Master Plan (CEDMP). The CEDMP shall demonstrate how the Landscape and Urban Design Principles, Te Ara Tupua Kaitiaki Principles and Design Themes and Outcomes in the Project’s CEDF (dated September 2020) have been taken into account in the development of the design concepts. The content and specific requirements for the CEDMP are set out in the proposed conditions.

Sector 1 : Ngā Ūranga Interchange Connection & Bridge Crossing

Cyclists and pedestrians will connect with the Project under the Ngā Ūranga interchange using an existing shared route, set between SH2 and KiwiRail's lay-down area and rail corridor. From the southern end of the Path, there are existing walking and cycling connections to the Wellington City centre and the western suburbs via the Hutt Road section of Te Ara Tupua (WCC and Lets Get Wellington Moving projects) and, to the northern suburbs, via Ngā Ūranga Gorge, SH1. A further connection to the Path is possible from the Ngā Ūranga train station, using the existing pedestrian underpass.

1.4 Consent Design Overview

The proposed shared path bridge at Ngā Ūranga design is to provide for a landmark structure to connect the community with the coastal environment and improve the visual amenity of the area. This will integrate a sinuous form, with a slimline super structure and treatment to express the whakapapa of Te Ara Tupua and important ancestors. Features to enhance user experience will include accessible ramps, generous sweep curves, widened deck areas for viewing the harbour with balustrade design, lighting and other treatments to ensure safety and good visibility to and from the bridge.

The Project will retain connectivity to the existing shared path during construction and 'make good' areas used for construction operations within the existing KiwiRail lay-down area at Ngā Ūranga.

Sector 2 - Ngā Ūranga to Honiana Te Puni Reserve - Path and Ūranga

The new footprint will form a naturalised coastal edge combining a sloped rock revetment of varying profiles, and vertical seawalls alongside existing gravel beaches. Constructed off shore habitats will provide roosting sites for bird species. The typical paved path width will be 5m with broader ‘offline’ areas shaped to form headlands, as ūranga (literally meaning landing site). The ūranga will provide gathering spaces for seating, shade, shelter, enhanced access to the coastal environment and areas for coastal planting. Together these elements will provide for a naturalised edge with a form shaped to retain and celebrate natural features and known sites of significance. The design is to offer opportunities for mahi toi and other measures relevant to cultural expression and interpretation including features integrated to ensure cycle and pedestrian enjoyment and safety.

The design of the new coastal edge and rail over-bridge is to consider whole of life issues over a 100-year time-frame. It is to manage over-topping, for ease of use and reduced maintenance, and allow for adaptation to future sea-level rise.

Sector 3 - Honiana Te Puni Reserve and Pito-One to Melling Connections

Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One will connect with Pito-One to Melling (P2M) under the Pito-One interchange by widening the existing path and upgrade of the bridge over Korokoro Stream. The design will improve the amenity and safety of this area replacing the bridge deck and possible new balustrade along with new fencing, lighting, make good planting to the edges of the bridge and underpass, artwork and signage.

The Path connection with the Pito-One Foreshore and Esplanade will be made via the western portion of Honiana Te Puni Reserve and the existing sealed access road over Korokoro stream. The Path exit and entrance points will tie into the reserve near the end of the existing shared path under the interchange. The ramp up onto the interchange flyover will be retained post construction. Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One will provide alternative connections to the existing shared path along SH2 during construction and ‘make good’ reserve areas used as a consturction yard for the project. Reserve works agreed with Taranaki Whānui and Hutt City Council will provide for a new integrated clubs building and Tāwharau pods with flexible uses in Stage 1. Stage 2 includes relocation of the pods and a multi-purpose Whare with an enhanced integrated landscape. Note the construction of the Tawhārau pods and the Whare are to be confirmed by Taranaki Whānui.

Over all sectors, and in line with the Kaitiaki Strategy principles, the design will integrate cultural expression and narrative: in the overall form of the Project footprint, and in the design of all structures, materials used, naming conventions, general arrangement of spaces, signage, lighting, sculptural elements and artwork. This is to ensure the design and construction of Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One appropriately recognises existing relationships and values and enables new positive connections with this environment; to achieve the greatest benefits from the project.

Bringing the Project objectives, kaitiaki design principles and analysis of the policy and site context together, the Te Ara Tupua design concept is to achieve a bold, connected and shared path that is fit for its purpose and the mana and mouri of its namesake.

These design themes - bold, connected and shared - are further detailed on the following page as high level outcomes for the project. Following this, a summary overview of the design concept is set out, as developed in line with the design themes to date. This is further detailed in the detailed outcomes section of the CEDF and in the Draft Masterplan, cross sections and illustrative views.

1.8 Background Documents

Hutt City Council District PlanThe District Plan is the main document that sets the framework for managing land use and development within the Hutt District. Chapter 14E of the Hutt City District Plan contains objectives and policies relating to the protection of significant natural, cultural and archaeological resources. The most relevant of these to the project will be policies 14E1.1 (c ) – (i), which deal with natural character, visual amenity values and landscape values – including in the coastal environment, and the effects of activities on those.

Wellington City Council District PlanThe Wellington City District Plan is about managing the use, development, and protection of natural and physical resources in a way, or at a rate, which enables people and communities to provide for their social, economic, and cultural well being, and for their health and safety.Relevant provisions are contained in the Heritage, Natural Environment and Earthworks chapters.

Te Ara Tupua Kaitiaki StrategyThe Te Ara Tupua Kaitiaki Strategy was developed by the Te Ara Tupua Steering Group. The Kaitiaki Strategy provides an articulation of aspirations and expectations of the Taranaki Whānui representatives on the Steering Group. Within the Kaitiaki Strategy are a set of principles which act to ensure protection, re-instatement and reaffirmation of Taranaki Whānui connection to Te Ara Tupua through design and the overall practice of constructing a pathway within an ecologically and culturally sensitive environment. The primary intent of the Kaitiaki Strategy and its associated principles is to facilitate the deepening of the connection to the cultural significance of the landscape and to bring about new behaviours of protections and care for our environment.

Bridging the Gap: NZ Transport Agency Urban Design Guidelines (2013) The Guidelines set out 10 over-arching urban design principles, and guidance on specific elements of walking and cycling including pedestrian paths, pedestrian crossings, cycle lanes and paths, pedestrian and cycle bridges, underpass design, lighting and crime prevention.

The following documents have informed this CEDF and draft masterplan:

Resource Management Act (1991)Matters of national importance particularly relevant to landscape and urban design matters for the Project include sections 6(a), 6(c), 6(d) and 6(e). These relate to the natural character of the coastal environment; areas of significant indigenous vegetation and habitats; public access to and along the coastal marine area; and the relationship of Māori and their culture and traditions with their ancestral lands, water, sites, waahi tapu, and other taonga.

Other matters relevant include sections 7 (a), 7(aa), 7(c) and 7(f), which relate to kaitiakitanga, the ethic of stewardship, amenity values, and the quality of the environment.

Land Transport Management Act (2003) Requires Waka Kotahi to ‘exhibit a sense of social and environmental responsibility’ in meeting the statutory objective of operating a transport network.

NZ Coastal Policy Statement (2010)A number of policies contained in the NZCPS will be relevant to landscape, natural character and visual matters for Te Ara Tupua. These include: • Policy 2 The Treaty of Waitangi, tangata whenua and Māori heritage. • Policy 10 Reclamation and de-reclamation. • Policy 11 Indigenous biological diversity (biodiversity). • Policy 13 Preservation of natural character. • Policy 14 Restoration of natural character. • Policy 15 Natural features and natural landscapes. • Policy 18 Public open space. • Policy 19 Walking access.

Greater Wellington Regional Council RPS and NRP The Regional Policy Statement (RPS) and the Natural Resources Plan (NRP, decision version) sets out the framework and priorities for resource management in the Wellington region. Relevant objectives and policies in the NRP (decisions version) are contained in chapters 3 and 4 and relate to Māori relationships with their ancestral lands, water, sites, waahi tapu, and other taonga; natural character, form and function; biodiversity; sites with significant values; and natural features and landscapes. Schedules and maps associated with these policies are also relevant.

Overview

NZ Transport Agency Environmental Plan (2008) Specifies how the Transport Agency’s staff and suppliers are expected to address key social and environmental effects. Relevant objectives include: • Social responsibility: To enhance and contribute to community cohesion. • Culture and heritage: To pro-actively limit the disturbance of significant

cultural and heritage features along state highways. To show respect for historic buildings we own to maintain their integrity.

• Visual quality: To incorporate multi-purpose landscaping as an integral part of all new state highway construction projects. To improve the visual quality of the existing state highway network.

NZ Transport Agency Environmental and Social Management Standard (Z/19) (2010) requires consultants engaged on transport projects to consider social and environmental factors identified in legislation and the Transport Agency’s policies and guidelines.

NZ Transport Agency Landscape Guidelines (Final Draft) (2014) The Guidelines similarly set out 10 over-arching principles, and guidance on (1) design considerations (including safety and extent of landscaping), (2) landscape treatments (including topsoil, planting, and storm water) and (3) maintenance requirements.

NZ Transport Agency Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice - Bicycles which sets out minimum standards, covering such matters as path width, gradients and provision at structures referencing Austroad standards AGRD06A-09: Guide to Road Design Part 6A: Pedestrian and Cyclist Paths (replacing Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice: Part 14).

NZ Transport Agency pedestrian planning and design guidance Sets out ways to improve New Zealand’s walking environment. It outlines a process for deciding on the type of provision that should be made for pedestrians and provides design advice and standards.

1.9 Waka Kotahi Landscape Design Principles

1.10 Waka Kotahi Urban Design Principles The urban design principles1 reflect Waka Kotahi’s expectations for the integration of urban design in all phases of highway projects and the desired interdisciplinary approach to addressing urban design issues.

The principles are applicable to all Waka Kotahi projects from the large and complex to the small and simple.

"The principles should be used in the early stages of a project to assist with the design of route options. As the design evolves, these principles should be adapted and turned into context and project-specific design objectives and principles. The principles should not be considered in isolation but be pursued in parallel as they are closely inter-related. A project which dismisses one or more principles entirely is unlikely to lead to satisfactory urban design outcomes.

The 10 urban design principles are:

1. Designing for the context2. Integrating transport and land use3. Contributing to good urban form4. Integrating all modes of movement5. Supporting community cohesion6. Maintaining local connectivity7. Respecting cultural heritage values8. Designing with nature9. Creating a positive road user experience10. Achieving a low maintenance design"

The Landscape Design principles capture the key elements of landscape design for highway projects.

"These principles reflect the Transport Agency’s expectations for the integration of highway landscaping through all project phases. The principles below are applicable to all highway projects from the large and complex to the small and simple.

The following principles should not be considered in isolation but be pursued in parallel as they are closely inter-related. A project which dismisses one or more principle entirely is unlikely to lead to satisfactory landscape outcomes for the Transport Agency.

1. A context sensitive and place based approach2. Facilitate green infrastructure and landscape integration3. Understand the physical conditions4. The right plant in the right place5. Promote biodiversity and build in resilience6. Champion low impact design (LID)7. Deliver a quality user experience8. Low maintenance and whole of life value9. Safety in design10. Facilitate community engagement and a collaborative approach"

Overview

1.11 Kaitiaki Strategy Design PrinciplesThe Te Ara Tupua kaitiaki design principles were prepared following extensive consultation led by the Taranaki Whānui advisors and Mana Whenua Steering Group, and have been a key consideration in the development of the design concept and the CEDF:

"Ranginui - the connection to the various spiritual realms of the great and vast heavens, the source of light and understanding, growth and ultimate link to the celestial family

Mouri - The mouri of Te Ara Tupua – the living relationship between the ngahere, the cliffs, the water ways, hinemoana and everything that lives within that environment have their own individual and interdependent vitality

Wai Tai, Wai Māori -Nga wai tuku kiri tai noa atu ki hinemoana – the connection between the springs, streams, aquifers, rivers and all waterways that bring with them their life, mouri and mana which eventually mingles together with Hinemoana

Ahua - The character of Te Ara Tupua is seen, the beauty, the mystique, the wonder, the wild and rawness – the identity of Te Ara Tupua endures beyond the present through capturing and captivating the hearts and minds of the few and the many

Tatai Whakapapa - The history, the connections, the relationships and friendships – they shape the land and the people

Whānau - The care of manuhiri and people is embedded in the identity of Te Ara Tupua seeking to ensure a strong sense of connection imbuing a strong sense of responsibility towards Te Ara Tupua

Mana Whenua -Te Ara Tupua is seen as a living piece of the identity of Mana Whenua who take pride in this space, taking on the obligation of care, responsibility and giving life to its history and story

Papatūānuku - The mountains, the cliffs, the landforms, the geology, ngahere, trees, birds – they all need each other to exist".
