  4. WDC Projects with RMU • McLeod Bay Seawall: Since late February/early March we’ve been undertaking extensive consultation and monitoring engagement with WDC pertaining to the removal and rebuild of the boat ramp and entire rock seawall across the front beach at McLeod Bay. During this time we’ve had cultural monitors (Ngawiki Taka & Wayne Pita) on-site with the construction team (McKenzie Contractors) whom are pleased with the results and their engagement with the RMU. • Whananaki Seawall: WDC have also recently initiated the build of a seawall at the Whananaki North Rd boat ramp opposite the Firestation. As per the previous seawalls and all major projects, the RMU have been involved from the beginning to the end and in this case consultation and monitoring has been undertaken in collaboration with Whananaki trustee – Allan Moore.

  5. RMU Upskilling • Site Safe Passport Course: On Monday 20th June the RMU and relevant cultural monitors attended a Site Safe Passport course with other various Hapu representatives of Whangarei. OSH have stated that for any person involved with any type of work at a construction site including our cultural monitors, this is now a requirement. In attendance from Ngatiwai was Clive Stone, Dane Karapu, Allan Moore and Darcy Haika whom all completed and passed the course with flying colours (Previous Ngatiwai attendees were Ngawiki Taka and Te WarahiHetaraka in 2015; Wayne Pita also holds his own SSP from previous work). We’re proud of this accomplishment as it is of great value to possess this qualification and will be further beneficial to any future opportunities of our monitors.

  6. Refining NZ Crude shipping proposal • RNZ is proposing to bring around half of all crude oil to the refinery on ships capable of carrying around 1 million barrels. • RNZ has commissioned a series of technical studies from independent experts to better understand the harbour environment and to identify any potential positive or adverse impacts on the environment from this proposal - and recommend how these may be avoided or mitigated. • These technical studies include: Geomorphology (shape and layout of the harbour floor) Hydrodynamics (water flows inside the harbour and between the harbour and Bream Bay) Ecology (how organisms in the harbour relate to their physical surroundings and each other) and Cultural Impact Assessment • A decision on preferred potential realignment of shipping channel won’t be made until Manawhenua received input from all independent experts.

  7. Scion ResearchHealthy Trees, Healthy Future project • Our role on the Management Group, is to articulate Ngatiwai views/ values, improve our understanding of the processes ,engage with the research and keep our people informed on current projects • Following on from the multiple previous engagement Hui with Scion including the most recent being back in early March (03/03/16), we have now carried out the seed and shoot sample collections from Moetonga (Ngaiotonga), Mimiha (Helena Bay), Huruiki (Helena Bay Hill), Mimiwhangata, Maruata (Glenbervie), Parihaka (Whangarei), Manaia (Whangarei Heads) • This work had been carried out under the Healthy Trees, Healthy Future project to assist in enabling technologies to combat Phytophthora (Kauri Dieback) diseases.

  8. Mana Moana o Ngātiwai The key long-term outcome from this project is a research framework that supports the ‘reinstatement of Ngātiwai mana moana over their offshore islands and seascape’ Specifically, we anticipate Ngātiwai ‘stewardship areas’ that encompass the islands and the surrounding seascape under the direct governance and management of Ngātiwai Post-Settlement Governance Entity (PSGE). We anticipate a research framework built around these stewardship areas that will help deliver and support Ngātiwai’s cultural, environmental, economic and educational aspirations for the next 50 years.
