Ngati Rakai Cultural Protocol    

NGATI RAKAI-NGATI ONE ONE HAPU WAHI TAPU PROTOCOL

PROTOCOL FOR THE DISCOVERY OF WAHI TAPU OR ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES OF NGATI RAKAI ........... . ,.

1. HISTORY OF LAND AND TANGATA WHENUA.

The tangata whenua of this land is Ngati Rakaiatane ofTe Aitanga A Hauiti, Iwi. Horouta Waka landed in Turanganui A Kiwa (Gisbome) around 1350AD depositing the sacred gods of the voyage in the Kohurau caves located in the cliffs of Maungaroa at Wainui. In I 660AD Rakaiatane and his followers settled the land from Maungaroa and Tuaheni n0l1h to Pouawa, Whangara. The direct descendants of Rakaiatane and his sister Hine Haeretaua now reside and maintain ahi kaa on their ancestral land at Wainui. below the Maungaroa ranges. Rakau A Ue the remaining urupa is nearby in Tuahine crescent, Wainui.

Today along Wainui Beach reserve and Lysnar Domain arc many ancient sites, wahi tapu of the Tangata whenua. 1\gati Rakai. From Pouawa, in the north to Maungaroa in the south and inland to Waimata East: Rakaiatane and his followers maintained their lands and seas along the coast. Many Pa, Panehu and Waiwhakata: east ofMr Prossor's property associated with Rakaiatane and Hine Haeretaua; some remnants remain including settlement features such as kUlllara pits and lookout posts are located on this land. According to Ngati Rakai histor) no Pa sites exist on the Prossor land. however. the Te Rimu Stream is noted as a major route which provided the enemy of Rakaiatane the ability to enter the Hamanatua stream to access the foreshore and fishing places of Ngati Rakai. Many incidents of battles between Kgati Rakai and Te Aitanga a Mahaki culminated in a major battle at the mouth ofllamanatua stream \vith the defeat of Mahaki by Konohi, nephew or Rakaiatane, Chief of Whangara in 1700AD.

The Historians Richard Leach and Rongo Halbert. name l\gati Rakai as the hapu, referred to in the Native land Court in 1870 under the chiefly mantle of Rakaiatane. Today Ngati Oneone is commonly used by many descendents along with, Ngati Rakai, used by Rakaiatane descendants still living at Wainui on the land that was reserved for the hapu by the Native Land Court in 1874.

Appendix 9 Summary of Consultation Responses from Residents 

    

Dear Neighbor,

The enclosed information is to make you aware of a proposed zoning change by a private developer in Lysnar Valley. They propose a 41 house subdivision on Jand currently zoned Rural Residential. Their proposal is for a zoning change to General Residential with lot sizes of 1000 square meters.

Please give the time to review the enclosed documents and the response letter that has been written.

A zoning change in the Lysnar Valley to high density housing would set in motion a precedent we feel is unacceptable to our community. lfyou agree with the negative impacts outlined in the response letter please sign it and sent it to the Gisborne District Council planner, Kim Smith using the pre-paidladdressed envelope provided. If you wish to write your own opinion letter, please do so.

Time is of the essence on your response. The sooner you respond the better our chances are of keeping the Lysnar Valley a beautiful rural setting and stop the negative effects of high density housing that would affect many in the neighborhood.

Please help to make others aware ofthis proposal. The more opinion letters to Kim Smith at the Gisborne District Council the better.

Thank you.

My Land Holdings Ltd Private Plan Change Request Scarly's WaY,Okitu

Key issues ofconcern in the plan as outlined in proposal Dated 8 May 2009 by Insight Resource ManagementlMyland Holdings Ltd

I. Current zoning is Rural Residential which is ] ha. As proposed, General Residential zoning down to 1000 square meters in the middle of a beautiful rural valley environment is not appropriate. Lysnar Valley has a history ofpastoral farming and equestrian pursuits. A high density housing subdivision does not fit within the character of the surroundings and would scar the valley.

2. On site sewage treatment for General Residential zoning is already in question as to it's suitability within the Wainui/Okitu area. In this case, the proposed high density sections would border the Hamanatua Stream. Any failure of on site systems would likely end up in the watershed and effect downstream water quality. History shows that failures of on site systems of General Residential zoning in the area is of concern.

3. Electrical power is stated as being provided by a recentl y installed 11 k V aerial line. Supply of power to any new subdivision should be underground. Overhead lines are no longer acceptable, especially in this beautiful setting.

4. Lysnar Street is currently narrow with parking frequently onto the roadway by residents and visitors. There are no sidewalks on Lysnar and pedestrians are frequently walking in the road as they make their way to the beach, school, etc. Increasing traffic to accommodate 41 future house sites is not safe on Lysnar Street with the current width and lack of sidewalks.

5. Increase runoff into Hamanatua Stream and its negative down stream effects at the lagoon, the beach and the ocean will be likely. Runoffwill be increased to a large degree by a General Residential zoning change.

6. Street lighting is not appropriate in the Rural Residential zoning area.

7. Recent estimates show that at the current rate of growth in the Gisborne City area, there is presently nearly a 20 year supply of sections already in existence. With a large new subdivision being completed at Sponge Bay, it remains to be seen how many years it will take to sell the sections already established. In this current extended <economic downturn, the demand for General Residential sections is weakening. A further over supply ofGeneral Residential sections will take place when Elmers property on Wainui Road moves forward with development as already proposed. The "need" for a zoning change to accommodate growth is unsupported.

8. Myland Holdings proposal seems to rely heavily on Gisbome District Council's Plan Change 37 identified the "possibility of residential rezoning of the land". The Gisbome District Council did withdraw the proposed plan change.

9. The lack of archeological sites on Myland Holdings property is questionable when compared with known sites in the near vicinity.

Overall the proposal by Myiand Holdings Ltd and Insight Resource Management for a zoning change from Rural Residential to General Residential attempts to paint a positive picture as to why it should be approved. The reality involved with the proposed change is far from positive and would be a negative determent to the surrounding area and the existing community in many ways.

The current zoning should stand as is in Lysnar Valley and any housing development should be within this current zoning of Rural Residential. General Residential zoning should be kept closer to urban areas and not placed like an urban island in the middle of a beautiful rural vaIley setting. The surrounding neighbors have called this area home because of the beauty of the valley and the lack of high density housing within it. Let's not allow a developer's greedy pursuit of maximizing a resource ruin the character of the Lysnar Valley.
