Southern Pipeline – Proposed Methodology for consultation with
Tangata Whenua
1.0 Introduction
The following proposed methodology is for consultation with Tangata Whenua affected by the preferred route
of the Southern Pipeline (Western Route). The consultation will be lead by Tauranga City Council staff and
supported by URS and Boffa Miskell personnel.
The methodology seeks to clarify the following matters:
o
o
o
o
o
Who are the affected Tangata Whenua groups and individuals?
What level of consultation needs to be delivered?
Identify potential dates, venues, and staff/Councillors/consultants required for the meetings
Identify issues from CIA’s and previous consultation
Identify further work to be completed
2.0 Iwi and Hapu affected by Western Route (across land)
Tauranga City Council hapu interest maps were consulted. Six hapu and two iwi are affected by the route
across land. These are listed below with their interest area.
Ngati Ruahine
Ngai Tamarawaho
Ngai Te Ahi
Maleme St, Waimapu River Valley, to 15th Ave

3.0 Iwi and hapu affected by Western Route (across harbour)
There are numerous iwi and hapu who can claim to have some interest in the Tauranga harbour. For this
project it is proposed to consult with the two predominant iwi authorities, Ngati Ranginui and Ngaiterangi and
hapu resident on each side of the harbour crossing. The information from the CIA of Ngati He and others
that is related to the Tauranga harbour should be considered in further investigations of the preferred route.

4.0 Potentially affected Maori landowners
There are a number of multiply-owned Maori blocks potentially affected by the route. At the western end of
Matapihi Road proposed construction activities, harbour crossing options and temporary occupation may be
required. It is considered appropriate to conduct direct consultation with these landowners/land trusts.
Some work needs to be conducted to confirm the Maori landowners/land trusts along the western end of
Matapihi Road. This consultation will be conducted with other affected land owner consultation
5.0 Level of Consultation
It is envisaged that the face to face consultation with iwi and hapu will occur in four phases. The first and
second phase will be conducted in parallel. An address to the Tangata Whenua Collective confirming the
route and process for consultation and assessment of effects will be supported by individual and/or collective
meetings with the affected Tangata Whenua groups. Meetings with Councillors will be confirmed during this
phase. The third phase involves meetings between Tangata Whenua and Councillors (PSG), these being
the formal consultation between the governance of the project and Tangata Whenua. The final phase will be
follow up meetings as required by issues raised during phase 3. Ngai Tamarawaho and Ngati Ruahine did
not prepare a cultural impact assessment during earlier consultation due to capacity issues. A workshop is
proposed as an alternative method to capture and record their main issues.
Phase 1
Phase 2
Confirm route and consultation process

Antoine Coffin explained that Ngai Te Ahi interests identified on
TCC maps around Waimapu Stream. Whilst the pipeline will not
cross the Waimapu want to make sure Ngai Te Ahi have an
opportunity to raise any issues now and identify level of
participation in process.
Ngai Te Ahi happy for Ngai Tamarawaho to be the lead Tangata
Whenua group and contact for route between Maleme St and
harbour. If the route or works are required near the Waimapu
River (for any reason) or outside the road corridor at the maleme
end of town, Ngai Te Ahi will be informed and further
consultation considered.

Item 1 Overview of new Application for consent
Antoine provided description of new consent required for drilling
on Tauranga harbour between Matapihi and Te Papa, due to a
new method being used to get to sites inaccessible using large
barge. Used map to show bore holes and methods – BH10-14
using terrier at low tide during daylight hours, BH1-3 using option
1 (a 20X9m barge with little equipment, resting on seabed, filled
with water, water pumped out, liaison with EBOP and harbour
master) and option 2 (swamp pads to access drilling spot, EBOP
compliance officer on site), BH15 & BH16 using embankment for
access with digger.
Action
Note
Item 2 Comments from Ngati Tapu (except where identified)
Ngati Tapu want to designate areas for disposal of material,
when no longer required. Possibly near the Waikari Marae and
near the foreshore adjacent to the site of bore holes.
Follow up
Ngati Tapu do not want to see material from Matapihi leave
Matapihi. This has already been stated at previous meetings.
Ngati Tapu want to monitor works if option 2 used as the area is
very sensitive – tuangi (cockle) and titiko (mud snail present).
Monitoring to be conducted during arrival, setup, and operations.
(Antoine) highlighted areas where ecology present from
preliminary ecological report - eel grass, tuangi.
No sure if BH2 will be reached by barge, and probably not BH1.
Ngati Tapu do not want to see ‘ripping’ of the seabed. This
would be unacceptable to get there by ‘dragging’ the barge.
The 20X9m barge may crush the sediments and sealife.
Would like to monitor arrival of barge for BH3, BH2, and BH1.
This would require some notice.
BM T05044/1_004
7/13/2006
Page 1
Ngati Tapu want a monitoring agreement between themselves
and TCC. A formal agreement like those of Ngai Tamarawaho.
If anything happens i.e. barge timing is out and are not at the
bore hole site, they must stop. Do not want to compromise.
Really want the contractors to take care when putting down
swamp pads.
(Puhirake) Any concerns for 4 days for terrier – Yes, okay, no
problem, (Maru) fine with this, no objection.
Need to confirm when these are happening.
Need to talk to Ngai Tamarawaho re: terrier sites
Ngati Tapu want a copy of the results and a summary of analysis
of samples
There is a possibility to resolve impacts of rail bridge. This could
involve a concept plan for where the sand and excavation
material will go. This can be done after the drilling project has
been completed.
When we get to the business of consents for the pipeline, we
want a formal agreement for further consultation, discussions,
towards the details of how we are going to do things, a formal
contractual agreement.
Need to discuss how the hapu representatives are resourced to
participate in project from this point on including this consent.
Option 1 is preferred. Refer to monitoring.

Item 2 Comments from Tukairangi (unless stated otherwise)
There are rock oysters along the southern side of rail
embankment. These are regularly plundered.
Follow up
The proposal seems okay, perfectly fine.
We want to be down on the first day if option 2 is used.
We want copies of the results of core samples and a summary.
Barry Somers to notify Neil Te Kani by phone of when works will
start.
Want TCC to advise locals, a courtesy call to local residents (end
of Matapihi Road) that works will be conducted. Contact Susan
Fisher and Mike. They live nearby.
What is the noise like. Can you use baffles or sound measures if
it is loud. This is during the day not night. (Antoine) Yes,
machines are noisy, works are conducted during the day. If too
noisy sound measures can be implemented.

Note
Item 2 Comments from Ngai Tamarawaho (unless stated
otherwise)
Follow up
Ngai Tamarawaho are aware of the application from previous
discussions and had no problem with it, other than we knew that
the barge would not be able to reach those sites.
The machine will be able to do the work during the tide and
daylight? (Antoine) Yes. I understand the work for each bore
hole will take one tidal movement. The machine can move out
otherwise.
Would like to get copies of the results, and a person to present
the results to us in a suitable language. We are wanting to know
more about that area.
The presentation (CIA) went okay at the council but have not
received a response yet.

Patai: Will the pipeline affect private property (other than paper

Patai: What is the option of going to Chapel Street? Not good
to me. Down Aerodrome Road?
Patai: Why don’t we build a new plant at Pyes Pa and send to
the Kaimai? The water that is treated must go
somewhere!
Patai: Maori communities have suffered the brunt of land taking
for community benefits. Economic (arguments)
imperatives do not benefit us. We don’t share in that
economic growth.
Patai: Other economic things have been xxx, can we see the
detail of the planned route.
Patai: If we can agree on the route, can we have access? We
want it all, rural, access to wastewater, future proof the
papakainga.
Patai: Paper roads belong to the owners next door.
HDD DVD Show for presentation
Item 7
Presentation ctd
Patai: If proposal went ahead would you look at reclaiming the
land for us?
(Barry) We would look at a hard rip-rap wall and back-fill.
Patai: Many have reservations about the pipeline. Need to take
an informative ear about what the Matapihi residents
want.
Patai: Have you looked at following railway track, or using
shoreline?
(Barry) Yes, but shoreline is difficult, and On-Track very
difficult.
(Martin) Rail corridor is narrow at points, and need to
check the pipeline regularly (with trains coming down the
track).
Presentation ctd – submarine route
Patai: The causeway has a big effect on sediments.
(Martin) The causeway has driven the channel to the
west side of the channel.
Patai: What is this report called – Hydro – Dynamic
Assessment.

Patai: Must be the same at the harbour bridge. Scouring.
Patai: Are you able to tell us where the HDD comes up – from
strand or 1st Ave to bottom of Matapihi Road
Presentation ctd – bridge option
Patai: Issues with a bridge providing access for all.
Patai: Will you use the bridge for cars?
(Barry) No, not for cars.
Patai: Any korero about a collaborative project.
(Barry) No.
Patai: Make a promise for no vehicles, won’t be upgraded for
cars in 25 years (Puhirake).
(Bill Faulkner) It won’t take it, there will be no access at
each end.
(Martin) The bridge will only go part of the way to the
causeway.
Patai: I am dead against this option. It leads to a bigger one. I
use the example of the marina. I will register in reference
to the korero that we need to see what we get.
Patai: We have always been restricted to build due to land
available, water supply, wastewater restrictions. We are
looking at getting some benefits, looking at bargaining.
Patai: There wasn’t any acknowledgement about Matapihi, it’s
all about the Southern Tauranga. If we accept the carrot,
it may be okay for firefighting, you’ve got to give us
something.
Patai: (Puhirake) We need to look at all the things that would
balance the ledger.
We have had hui to discuss the whenua development
and where the Southern Pipeline fits.
If we don’t get it right (100 years wait).
Patai: If the pipe goes through then Matapihi will be subdivided
in ten years.

Patai: What is the reality of the pump stations, how big are they,
what do they look like?
Patai: Will others want to connect.
We don’t want to see it in suburbia.
Patai: The shareholders would not be averse to subdividing. If
they do it, then the rest of Matapihi is sunk.
(Mary Dillon) We have protected Matapihi as rural. Need
to find the right balance.
(Bill Faulkner) Can restrict diameter of pipes.
Patai: What is the capacity of injection points – 1 or 2.
(Barry) Not defined yet.
(Bill) Can control diameter of pipe.
Patai: (Toa) Done CIA for Ngati Kuku for Ohuki blocks. In
favour of pipeline but subject to a few points.
- we all get connection
- if no connection, no support for pipeline
- untitled land (reclamation) – belongs to Ngati Tapu
- needs to be registered
- urupa entrance, Council said it was owned it was their
land, proved that it was Maori land
- sort out untitled land on other side of bridge, paper
road.
Patai: (Ngareta) Support Ngati Tapu development but why do
we have to take the ‘shit’ of others.
Tauriko and Pyes Pa people are not taking our ‘shit’ but
BM T05044-007
5 September 2006
Page 4
we are.
Our position is not improving. Every piece of land that we
can use, hold on to, housing for our people, but also keep
the subdivision out.
We don’t want to be like our young people at
Maungatapu and Hairini who pay $300,000 for a home.
Who are the representatives?
Patai: (Neil) There are no plans for subdivision on Orchard
Trust land.
We are planning to have some hui to discuss where
Matapihi will be going 50 years from now.
Patai: Best one is over a bridge, so it can be fixed. The
shellfish might be affected and we don’t know about it
(the under option).
We can have a local person to monitor the pipe.
Let us sort it out, we can get round the table and talk.
The pipeline could be the way to address the things we
want. Our time may have come.
Patai: Want to remain green but want water and wastewater.
Patai: (Huikakahu) Standing for Ngati Ranginui, but I’m Ngati
Tapu and Ngai Tamarawaho as well.
Need to influence them to understand.
Patai: (Toa) The best news I’ve heard – water and wastewater.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Patai: (Riri) UAGC rates not appropriate for papakainga.

Restricted coastal activity cross harbour
o Cross harbour options ⇒ 6 options
o Noise issues – machinery / steel sleeves ringing on HDD
o Leakage / Breakage detection and risk management

Soil Disposal:
- Used in community
- Greerton Park, Hungahungatoroa Marae, end Matapihi Road,
Waikari Marae, Te Maunga
Matapihi:
- Community Tangata Whenua reps
- CIA’s defined cultural concerns
- Water supply incomplete
- Waste water availability - not to rural zone
- papakaiga marae zones connected
- Reserve upgrade
- Access for construction
- Paper road – possible vesting back to Maori owners with
easement
- With waste water there is potential for residential development
- Need to plan for the future 50-100 years
Questions:
- Meetings have been ongoing; bottomlines from CIA read-out (Neil

- What’s the Hapu’s preferred option? (asked of Neil) - haven’t got
a view yet
- It’s urgent to others, not us. What about the houses along the
road? It’s the same as before.
- Don’t tell me about rural, don’t hide behind urban just tell me
straight up
- We were wined and dined by former mayors
- The harbour has changed
- We will fight for what we have got and fight for what we want
- If we decide we want a pipeline, the Council better look at putting
us on. If you do that we can fill-in septic tanks
- Are you also meaning fire fighting water?
Mary Dillon:
- Need to acknowledge previous baggage
- Matapihi was shafted
- Issue of water is a long-standing issue
- Smart Growth (Dec 2007) undertaking consultation with Matapihi
(read-out)
- Eddie Durie defence of Matapihi and work of Turi Te Kani
- Maybe we have got to a stage where Matapihi, particularly the
Maori community stating what they want
- Will look at HMP, consultation then d-plan changes
- A m/plan is requested to manage urban growth
Neil Te Kani:
- Going down the path for developing a m/plan with Antoine Coffin
- Wont make a decision tonight
Mahaki Ellis:
- A m/plan is what we are looking at. N Tukairangi Trust manages
land on behalf of owners.
- Kiwifruit is changing, need to look to other economic uses and
homes for families
- Water came through, we had a verbal agreement to provide water
- Rural and urban:- we cant connect to it. Leakage goes into
harbour
- We don’t want to continue with septic take
- Consultations will show that we want connection to sewage and
water
- Our Trust will manage huge blocks of land so don’t see urban
growth
Hayden:
- Section 33 transfers to iwi authority
- Things expressed in CIA & AEE
- Putting things in Tangaroa puts a impact on us
- HMP must be recognised by Council
- 12 months is a long time to sort things out
- Sediments in oysters
- Acces to opportunities
- Who pays those?
- Requires discussion, hui-a-tan
- Live opposite Te Maunga; see a lot of crap coming out of the Te
Maunga ponds
Charlie Timutimu
- Will there be a Matapihi community hui?
- So the Council does not divide and conquer
- Pipeline coming here and across the railway
- Why don’t you follow the railway line rather then cross the paper
road?

- You haven’t go an F- carry on pipeline to the bridge and down
Hewlett’s road, take it back to route B.
- Cultural impact, that bridge has made a huge impact on shellfish –
Titiko. We have to go to the airport and hardly get any titoki over
there
- What is it going to do to patiki, titiko and Rangataua
- Nga Papaka o Rangataua, Ka parupru te kai
Barry Somers:
- Cant have individual homes converting as home will explode
- 50 options, we did look at railway line and harbour bridge

- Varies in width
- Maintenance is difficult
- Access in the future is difficult

Karakia: Peri Kohu
Action
Item 1 Proposals
Barry Somers updated hapu reps on progress to make a
decision on various routes. K valley is an option that is being
looked at. There are two options in K Valley. These are near
existing expressway and the other is on the eastern side of the
river. This later option involves construction of a road for
construction and service access and probably “rebending of the
river” as per previous consent conditions.
Note
Test pits have revealed very soft material.
On the eastern side of the Valley, this route would require a road
for service access.
The other option would be side the existing road corridor, in the
embankment.
Ngai Tamarawaho not opposed to Route K options. Would need
to work through issues. Support dependant on outcomes.
The eastern option would likely require rebending of river as part
of the project.
Ngai Tamarawaho will look at producing a cultural assessment
assessment for the routes within the Kopurererua Valley.
The pipeline in the Kopurererua valley will be buried. There
would possible be bridges across the river (4) for the eastern
option in K Valley.
Des asked what the chances of undergrounding the powerline
were. Barry replied, not much due to cost and these costs would
be Trustpowers.
BM T05044/1_006

Peri appreciated being informed of what is going on. Barry to
liaise with Ngai Tamarawaho.
Item 2 Memorial to Strand
Barry provided an update on the Memorial to The Strand option.
This option would be considered with both Devonport/Fraser or K
valley options.
Follow up
Peri support the concept of walkways around the harbour edge.
Item 3 Harbour Crossing
Workshops have been conducted to look at the options. The
option most likely to be selected is the submarine pipeline to the
south of existing rail bridge. The Memorial Park to Matapihi
submarine route is unlikely due to the long term environmental
effects. Modelling has shown the trench in the main channel will
self heal.
There is 20,000 cubic metres of material travelling under rail
bridge annually.
There previous attempts to fill holes in the Waikareao estuary
with none being successful. A sign has been put up saying it is
dangerous.
Item 4 From here
Wait for preferred route from workshop on 23rd November. If
Route K selected then commission a CIA. Ngai Tamarawaho
will work through any issues. December approvals will be
followed by preparation of AEE for resource consents.
Ngai Tamarawaho want the block of land down the water front
no matter what route is chosen. Barry discussed possible
options being investigated. These were okay with Peri.
Barry to liaise with Peri and Sylvia
Item 5 Omokoroa Pipeline
Peri raised the issue about Omokoroa pipeline coming through
the rohe of Ngai Tamarawaho and not being consulted.
Item 6 Field
Barry has visited the fields at Maharaia Park. The No.2 field is
probably not appropriate for fill as the tide is clearly infiltrating the
soils. This area was a former wetland. The area was very
spongy and wet. It would only be a summer field for sport. Up to
1 metre of material would be required. With significant works
there is no guarantee that the field would be useable. Any works
BM T05044/1_006
7/14/2006
Page 2
may also cause problems with drainage of the No.1 field
resulting in flooding.
Item 7 Payments
Peri questioned the amount being paid for the CIA. Also
questioned the inclusion of consultation in the report preparation.
Barry to follow up.

in partnership with hapu.
BS confirmed the harbour crossing were the most
difficult consents to obtain.

Two resolutions were passed by the hui relating to the
Southern Pipeline and development of management
plans.
Resolutions
The following resolutions were approved by
majority vote
That Ngai Tukairangi Hapu clearly oppose Councils
preferred Southern Pipeline route which crosses
Tauranga Harbour and proceeds through Matapihi
That Ngai Tukairangi Hapu supports the development of
a land use plan for Matapihi which will help to define the
growth and infrastructure needs of Matapihi

Responses
The iwi will support views of hapu, however represent views of
other affected hapu
If cross harbour options proceed, Ngaiterangi want to be
involved right at the start. We are opposed to cross harbour
works due to potential breaks and the effects on the kaimaona.
The railway attachment is the best option, shorter length, bridge
is secure.
Ngaiterangi want to make sure the bridge is to a high standard.
Favour bridge to any other option
It would be good to update the people on the cross harbour
options.

1. Mahaki started hui with Karakia.
2. Barry went through the presentation (see attached).
3. Opposition to the pipeline was expressed. There are other options available those should be used. Want to keep Matapihi rural. Ngai Tukairangi have made
contributions such as water through and foot paths. Was Matapihi considered
because of cost cutting?
4. It was clarified that this was an information sharing exercise.
5. Barry highlighted QBLA was used, questions were asked around how robust
QBLA was on cultural issues?
6. Is it going to link to Omokoroa pipeline?
7. Assertion by hapu that crossing the harbour was the wrong option.
8. If the Matapihi preferred route wasn’t an option, what is the back up? Barry
Somers explained going through Matapihi again was the back up.
9. Joe highlighted that the decision to come through Matapihi has been made, but if
the hapu were honest, they want to build, and have access to wastewater, they
don’t want septic tanks leaking into the harbour.
10. Questions around pipe sizing, consultation with other land owners were raised.
11. There was clarification around what connection to the pipeline means, and how at
the current time it would be economically viable.
12. Need assurance from council that once the management plan is done, the Yjunctions(?) can be put in.
13. Neil clarified that he only does what the hapu mandates him to do.
14. Questions around mandating TW Collective. Why no-one from Ngai Tukairangi
turned up to speak to the mayor and elected members about the Southern
Pipeline at the last TW/TCC Standing Committee. Why didn’t the chair ask, why
Ngai Tukairangi weren’t there?
15. Urupa fencing, wheelies, drinking water; is there something that can be done
about this? This was raised when the footpaths went through. Council said it
would do it(?) but didn’t. There is a problem with trust (goodwill) and Council.
TCC Ref: 1432069
16. It was asserted that the Marae and school must be reticulated.
17. Land use plan can influence what can happen here.
18. Harbour crossing is the key for some hapu members. This debate needs to
happen before the debate about what is happening here in Matapihi.
19. Will council look after the Resource Consent for the use of soil surplus on the
field? Barry went through the process of doing this, including covering off the
existing saw dust dump, and related toxins in the soil.
20. Question around cultural issues to do with moving soil.
21. Questions around the mandate of HPT and how they determined that Matapihi
was archaeologically significant.
22. Fall back position for soil disposal is the airport but TCC preference is the rugby
field so it stays in the community. Kihi Ngatai expressed that shifting it to
Aerodrome is unacceptable. Need to keep it in the area.
23. Concern was expressed around the walkway opening up Matapihi to the wider
community, that is the widening of the bridge walkway and memorial to Strand
walkway. More imposition on the Matapihi community. Concern that Mataphi will
become a thoroughfare. This is a very strong view.
24. Has the new harbour link been considered for crossing? B.S. explained the
situation.
25. Issue that the Southern Pipeline isn’t about Matapihi, it’s about the harbour
crossing. This is a very strong point.
Barry discussed the memorial to strand walkway, explained Ngai Tamarawaho
and Tangata Whenua collective support the walkway.
26. Integrated transport strategy should have been discussed with Matapihi residents
- linked walkways came as a surprise to the hapu.
27. Questions around whether other hapu positions will minimise Ngai Tukairangi
position, e.g. Ngati Tapu and Ngai Tamarawaho.
Note to Campbell: Indicator that plan needs to be Matapihi wide, to avoid
scepticism. Ngai Tukairangi expressed discomfort at TCC doing the
comprehensive plan.
28. When will resource consents be processed and when will this be approved?
Under urgency could see TCC having resource consent by April 2008.
How long will hapu management take?
29. Ngaiterangi land continues to be imposed upon. Ngaiterangi need to be more
active in promoting this.
How does the Southern pipeline benefit the residents of Matapihi?
Council aren’t saying no to wastewater reticulation. The Southern Pipeline
provides an opportunity for the future i.e. development and to bring your people
back. Also the historic water issue is being addressed.
Matapihi is what it is because it has been starved of services.
30. Why can’t the causeway and bridge walkway stay the same width?
31. How often will the service vehicle be using the bridge?

32. Campbell Larking, Recreation Planner introduced the purpose of the landuse
management plan (as outlined in Smartgrowth). The action states that Council
will work with Matapihi residents, trustees and landowners to consider three
broad options for the peninsula, being:
•
•
•
Retain the rural character with limited papakainga housing;
Mixture of rural character and conventional urban development;
Comprehensive conventional urban development.
Campbell Larking is the project manager, and will supported by a number of key
Council staff in working with the Matapihi Community to develop the Landuse
Plan.
At this time, there is no set process for undertaking the landuse plan however
Campbell identified that it would be beneficial if Matapihi Residents 'owned' the
development of the Plan and worked with Council to identify an appropriate
process to deliver the project. The project is set to begin on the 1st July 2007
and run through to December 2007, however initial work on scoping the project
and identifying key parties and developing a robust process has begun. It was
identified that Antoine Coffin (Boffa Miskell) was working on a hapu management
plan (initial stages) for Ngai Tukairangi and that Campbell needed to liaise and
work with Antoine as the two projects had similar outcomes.
The end result would be a future directions paper outlining
aspirations/opportunities of Matapihi residents against the realities of
infrastructure and costs to make this aspirations a reality.
Campbell was asked whether Iwi would fully own the process and outcomes and
Campbell explained that the end result would need to be in accordance with
Smartgrowth and robust RMA outcomes, then end result (if adopted by Council)
would lead to changes to the District Plan which may enable outcomes like
papakainga housing zones or the like. It would also be used to cost out and plan
for appropriate infrastructure to aid in delivering the outcomes.
Parties, landowners and hapu would need to work together to develop the
process and define the future land use form. Campbell would be liaising with
Neil Te Kani and others to begin this process/initial discussions over the next
month or so.
Actions: Barry to follow up and provide answers to the following:
-
to write to Ngai Tukairangi about soil disposal and urupa fence/signs
-
Advise transportation of reaction to transportation strategy
-
Determine frequency of service vehicles on bridge.

Antoine Coffin gave an overview of previous consultations and a wish to TB
make sure their were no suprises.
Outlined previous 2 options for the walkway/pipeline and that now the
preference was for a pipeline on the surface of the beach with fill material
over the top and a high quality walkway on top.
2.
Brian Hodge gave an explanation of the detailed plans using the walkway BH
concept drawings and engineering options.
3.
Height of walkway would be close to height of adjoining properties, BH
sometimes lower and sometimes higher. The rip-rap may be smooth or
rough, depending on a number of factors including strength of wave action,
sea lettuce, costs, etc. The walkway structure may be concrete or timber.
4.
We rely on engineers to do the right thing.
5.
We are more interested in the cultural content.
The signage, PK
interpretation, information sharing. We won’t to make the walk interesting.
People will be able to see things and learn. The bollards with traditional
designs on them. Simple but effective. We would like gateways at
memorial Park, the southern end and at this end (railway). Happy for
engineers to do their thing.
6.
Ngai Tamarawaho would like to meet with the person responsible for PK
making this walkway happen. (Tony Bodger) We wish to work through the
cultural input before Council makes a decision on the outcome.
