Welcome to WHANGANUI

W

hanganui is steeped in history, art and culture. Big enough to draw crowds and small enough to be intimate.

We are surrounded by mountains – Mount Taranaki, Mount Ruapehu and Mount Tongariro – a beautiful natural landscape, dramatic west coast beaches and unspoiled native bush for tramping and wilderness trips.

Our vibrant community prides itself on its parks and reserves, cycleways and walkways and an abundance of creativity.

Don’t be surprised to find an immediate sense of connection, an unexpected little slice of heaven, and real New Zealand authenticity.

Home to about 43,000 people, the Whanganui district sits at the junction of State Highways 3 and 4. We are a two-and-a-half hour drive north from capital city Wellington, an hour-and-ahalf from Mount Ruapehu and Mount Tongariro, or an hour’s flight from Auckland.

With our high sunshine hours and pleasant temperate climate you’ll often see people enjoying outdoor cafes, making the most of our beaches, parks and reserves. And, of course, you will see people enjoying the riverside environment, where public

art, walkways, boating, water sports and the popular Saturday market, The River Traders – Whanganui’s market by the river, all invite engagement with the river and community.

The historically significant Te Awa o Whanganui, the Whanganui River, is the longest navigable river in New Zealand.

The river has shaped the history of the city and its people and has been the essential heartbeat for oral, visual and written creative expression over many centuries, mixing both settled European and indigenous Ma-ori culture.

In 2017 the New Zealand Parliament passed an historic bill to recognise the special relationship between the Whanganui River and Whanganui iwi. The Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) Bill provides for the river’s long-term protection and restoration by giving it the status of a person in the eyes of the law. It’s believed the Whanganui River may have been the first river in the world to be bestowed with legal personhood, setting a precedent that has attracted significant international interest.

You don’t have to spend too much time in Whanganui to absorb some of our fascinating

history, both pre-European and colonial. The city of Whanganui has attracted much activity and investment in its time and still retains magnificently planted parks and gardens and civic architecture, designed many years ago for a strategically important and populous city. Victorian and Edwardian treasures coexist with fine examples of mid-twentieth century modern architecture.

Marae, homesteads, memorials and civic buildings provide a strong sense of place and identity and the concentration of significant heritage buildings found here is rare in New Zealand.

With more than 400 resident artists, Whanganui’s arts scene includes photography, mosaics, jewellery, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, fashion, textiles and glass. The Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua holds one of New Zealand’s most remarkable collections of national and international art and has a special place in Whanganui’s identity. New Zealand Glassworks Te Whare Tu-hua o Te Ao is the first national centre for community glass-making and an outstanding facility and Quartz Museum of Studio Ceramics is not to be missed. Our talented community also has many performing artists, musicians and writers.

3

We are also a fit and active community. While you’re out and about you’ll see runners and cyclists enjoying the city which is becoming more and more accessible with a strategy to support active transportation.

With easy access to ski fields, surf, native bush and of course the river, this is a paradise for those who love outdoor sports and experiences. Any sporting code or activity you can think of is represented in Whanganui – and we have some of the best clubs and organisations, facilities and events in New Zealand.

We boast some of the finest educational providers in the country and our businesses are the engine room of our economic growth. The close proximity of Wellington and Taranaki provides investors and entrepreneurs ease of access to markets and sustainable growth of business and our early installation of ultrafast broadband has led to businesses relocating to our district.

We’re a small city with more amenities than most. Great shopping, supermarkets, an excellent hospital, wonderful schools and brilliant events are easily accessed and enjoyed. Easy to love and to live in, Whanganui is full of life and potential. Come and join us – we have all you need (and then some).

Welcome to WHANGANUI

Mayoral Message H

aere mai ki Whanganui!

Whether you’re visiting, or you’ve recently made the inspired decision to move here, I welcome you to our exciting little city and district.

Whanganui is made special by the people who live here and make it a place full of spirit and vitality and by the awa flowing from the mountains to the sea.

Free of commuting hassles and high house prices, we enjoy an exceptional lifestyle.

If you love the laid-back things in life, they’re all here: fishing, walking, beaches, gardens and friendly welcoming people.

If you’re looking for more of an urban flavour, you may be surprised at just how much is going on here. We enjoy cultural and recreational infrastructure that would be the envy of much larger cities and Whanganui is home to extraordinarily talented and creative people who contribute to a rich artistic environment.

Here, for example, you’ll find live music of virtually every genre. Exciting venues host local and touring artists – live music gigs are happening every weekend. Whether you’re a rock fan, love electronica, are passionate about jazz, blues or bluegrass, you’ll find your music here. The New Zealand Opera School brings the finest emerging talent to Whanganui every year, showcased in the magnificent Royal Wanganui Opera

House, recently named the best regional live music venue in New Zealand by Arts On Tour NZ. Kapa haka, literature, dance, street art and theatre are all actively enjoyed in Whanganui and an annual Festival of Cultures celebrates the food, music and dance of many of our city’s residents who have brought international influences with them from far and wide.

Around many corners you will find art galleries selling exceptionally high quality art pieces.

A major redevelopment of the iconic Sarjeant Gallery will soon be underway which will see Whanganui’s treasured gallery earthquake strengthened and re-designed to accommodate one of New Zealand’s finest collections of art.

Whanganui has a bright future. Our population is currently growing and new businesses are arriving every week.

A progressive vision for Whanganui is beginning to come to fruition and the Whanganui District Council is strongly invested in developing a business-friendly culture and processes to support new and expanding initiatives alike. Our airport offers direct flights to and from Auckland via Air Chathams and a masterplan for redevelopment has been drafted to breathe life into our once-busy port where the Whanganui River meets the sea.

Castlecliff, our seaside suburb, provides a wonderful example of how the energy and soul of the people here is moving us forward. A community-led rejuvenation project for the area has made incredible progress over couple of years and has more plans in the pipeline.

We are proud to be a welcoming community and we hope you enjoy Whanganui’s manaakitanga (hospitality).

Have fun.

Hamish McDouall Mayor of Whanganui

These messages will be sent if life, health or property is in serious danger.

If your phone is capable of receiving Emergency Mobile Alerts, the alert should appear automatically on your screen with a unique and penetrating warning sound. The Emergency Mobile Alert does not replace other information about what to do during an emergency – check out the Whanganui District Council and Manawatu-Wanganui Civil Defence Facebook pages and make sure you have a battery or solar powered radio.

Visit www.civildefence.govt.nz for more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert and to see whether your phone is capable of receiving it.

and the Castlecliff coastline, with a separate large siren at Mowhanau. These are primarily to warn of a possible tsunami impact in the Whanganui area.

Visit the Civil Defence page at www.whanganui.govt.nz to listen to the tsunami siren sound.

The local urban sirens use the exact same sound. Civil Defence sirens are tested on the first Wednesday of each month at 8.30am. If you hear a continuous sounding of the sirens, please tune in to your nearest radio station and listen for information.

TSUNAMI EVACUATION MAPS There are several tsunami information boards and

evacuation maps throughout the Whanganui District at coastal or river areas, telling people what to do if a tsunami is generated near our coastline.

A detailed digital map of tsunami evacuation areas, evacuation routes and safe zones is available at www.whanganui.govt.nz/ tsunami-evaucation-map If you experience a strong earthquake which is hard to stand up in, a weak rolling quake which lasts a minute or more, or loud and unusual noises from the sea, move to higher ground as far inland as possible.

Welcome to WHANGANUI

Whanganui River

TE AWA O WHANGANUI

A visit to the Whanganui River and the road which winds beside it into the Whanganui National Park is a special and authentic journey for visitors.

The Whanganui River, Te Awa o Whanganui, and the Whanganui

River Road are two interrelated journeys. The Whanganui River Road follows the lower reaches of the Whanganui River from Pı-pı-riki to Whanganui and is the only scenic driving route alongside a river in New Zealand with such richness of cultural and natural heritage.

This intimate and scenic 64km road leads to the Whanganui National Park, and enables travellers to visit small river communities and experience a pace of life which is unique in contrast to much of the rest of the country. The road is narrower than the main highway and follows a winding

route, which requires slower driving speed than usual.

There are stunning views of the river along much of the road’s length and of particular interest are the many beautifully preserved marae (gathering places) which are usually visible from the road. Please

Since she was re-launched on the Whanganui River in 2000, the Waimarie paddle steamer has become an iconic symbol of the River City and a significant attraction for both locals and visitors.

Based on the banks of the Whanganui River, the Waimarie sails six days from October to April* up the river and back - the two hour experience, enhanced by tales of the colourful history of the steamer and of the river, are popular with both young and old.

A summer cruise every second Friday of the month offers a different kind of end-of-week experience; drawing passengers from all over the region who get to relax over a

drink whilst listening to live, local musicians.

Popular private charters

The Waimarie is becoming increasingly popular and it’s not just her scheduled daily summer or Friday night sailings in demand - with more private hires available all year around than ever before.

The Waimarie has hosted all sorts of special chartered sailings, from weddings and birthdays

to champagne breakfasts and corporate events, and even schools keen on educating students about the history of the river.

It’s unbelievable the amount of restoration work that has been donated by the people of the city to restore Waimarie to its former glory it’s truly remarkable and quite a story to tell on how she has spent her last 100 years.

Did you Know?

• Waimarie means good fortune • Designed & pre-fabricated in London in 1899 • Carried cargo, mail & river dwellers in its early years • Was known as the queen of the river • Sank in 1952 • Pulled from the river 1993 • Restored by the people of the city • Re-launched 2000 • Only surviving coal-fired paddle steamer from NZ’s golden riverboat era Experience • Live vintage-style commentary • View the steam engine room • Retrieve your message from a carrier pigeon • Enjoy scenic views • Eat & drink from the licensed gallery café

respect all marae and urupa(cemetery) – entry to view marae must be arranged in advance as permission is required to visit these treasured places.

From its origins high on magnificent Mt Tongariro, the awa (river) travels towards Taumarunui, then winds south through the Whanganui National Park.

For more than 800 years, Ma-ori have lived here, building marae and ka-inga (villages), cultivating sheltered river terraces and engaging with the forests.

Numerous marae still exist along the river, and the river is home to many descendants of the original inhabitants.

European settlers followed in search of a new life and opportunities and in the late 1800s and early 1900s the river became a major visitor attraction, with people enjoying leisurely river boat cruises. The Whanganui River became internationally known as the ‘Rhine of New Zealand.’

WHANGANUI RIVER ROAD

The Whanganui River Road was completed in 1934 following 30 years of construction. It opened the Whanganui River valley to a new world, but changed the river itself forever.

Sadly, during construction it desecrated a number of sites sacred to the Whanganui tribes.

Originally, many Whanganui River marae were on the true right of the river. These settlements were protected from the elements and enjoyed the warm morning sun. With the opening of the road on the true left, time saw the gradual shift of many marae to the road side of the river. Prior to the 1930s almost all access to these remote settlements was from boats operating along the Whanganui River.

Jet boat tours to the historic Bridge to Nowhere “Mountains to Sea Cycle Trail” Mountain bike the Mangapurua/ Bridge to Nowhere Section (Jet boat and canoe return options) Exclusive wilderness Lodge and campground Comfortable accommodation, meals, licensed bar, Unique!

Today, the Whanganui River valley is still a major attraction for visitors and locals, and offers unrivalled opportunities for walking, cycling, hunting and tramping in a pristine wilderness, as well as a full range of activities on the water, including jetboat trips and single and multi-day canoeing.

The Whanganui River valley offers many places to stay and relax, to experience the relationship of the local people to the river, to learn the stories and enjoy the beauty and serenity of the area.

The Whanganui River and Whanganui River Road can be explored in many different ways, by vehicle, bike, jetboat, canoe or on foot. You may want to explore the area in your own private vehicle or join tours run by local operators. Please contact the i-SITE in Whanganui for more information: www.visitwhanganui.nz

WEATHER & CLIMATE

37

Rangitikei’s climate is temperate and has few extremes compared to many parts of New Zealand. As is to be expected, the prevailing northwesterly airflows affect coastal areas, and offers refreshing sea breezes to cool in summer. Summers are warm with average temperatures in the low 20s. The most settled weather occurs in summer and early autumn. Winters are mild near the coast and on the plains; it’s colder inland and in the hill country, but often frosty, clear and calm.

Snowfall occasionally settles in areas 400m above sea level, such as Taihape. Annual rainfall is moderate. Annual hours of bright sunshine can average over 2,000.

Y

ou don’t need a passport to visit the region judged the world’s second best destination – in fact, it’s just a stone’s throw from Whanganui.

Taranaki was judged the world’s #2 location to visit in Lonely Planet’s 2017 Best in Travel awards, and is the perfect destination for a weekend adventure, though you’ll likely need at least a couple of weekends to see all the region has to offer.

To get to Taranaki, simply follow State Highway 3 to the north.

You’ll reach the border in less

than half an hour, coming across the towns of Waitotara, Waverley and Patea before South Taranaki’s main settlement of Hawera, about an hour from Whanganui. The town offers a lot to explore, including its iconic Water Tower, which can be climbed for great views, and its gorgeous parks, gardens and beaches.

Auckland museum) by the users of Trip Advisor. You’ll need at least half a day to explore the museum’s thousands of exhibit pieces and hundreds of hand-made scale and life sized models. Don’t miss the remarkable Traders and Whalers ride through Taranaki’s history – it has to be experienced to be believed.

A short drive out of town is Tawhiti Museum, a private museum that is so spectacular it has been repeatedly judged New Zealand’s third best museum (behind Te Papa and

Of Taranaki’s other towns, Eltham offers great retro shopping, Stratford has a lively arts scene and a strong Shakespearean connection, Inglewood’s Fun Ho! Toy

museum is a great place to stop for kids of all ages, while around the coast the laidback towns of Opunake and Okato offer a truly relaxing escape along Surf Highway 45, with cosy coastal cafés and black-sand beaches to satisfy travelling surfers and heritage explorers alike.

New Plymouth sits around an hour north of Hawera, separated from the sparkling surf coast by a 13km long Coastal Walkway that has racked up an impressive list of international awards. On the walkway you’ll

Welcome to WHANGANUI pass numerous cafés, a cycle park catering for kids, track racers and BMX riders alike, the stunning Te Rewa Rewa Bridge and the iconic Wind Wand sculpture by New Zealand’s acclaimed international artist Len Lye. The 45m sculpture, which sways in the wind, is a teaser to the nearby Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre, a stunning stainless-steel clad gallery displaying groundbreaking art and home to art events for all the family.

The gallery has triggered a regeneration of New Plymouth’s own west end – artisan cafés, boutique shopping and public art abound. In fact the café scene across the region is thriving – perhaps Taranaki’s economic foundations of white gold and black gold – dairying and oil and gas – is due for an update.

The city’s events calendar is enviable, boasting sporting events, garden festivals, tattoo festivals and much more. Not to be missed is the annual WOMAD world music festival in March – a three-day world music festival that offers onsite camping. Similarly, the TSB Festival of Lights, which showcases the beautiful Pukekura Park after dark throughout January, is a family

favourite, while AmeriCARna in late February attracts hundreds of gleaming US hot rods and classics to the region.

But at the region’s heart, both geographically and spiritually, is picture-perfect Mount Taranaki. The mountain is home to more than 200km of walking and tramping tracks accessed by three roads - the southern route to Dawson Falls offers great short walks, the central road from Stratford leads to the historic Mountain House and access the Manganui Ski Field, while the North Egmont entry point leads to the excellent Pouakai Crossing – a great 1-day walk similar to the Tongariro Crossing with equally inspiring views.

For something really different, head inland along the Forgotten World Highway, where you can take a rail cart to the village of Whangamomona, centred on the last of the great Kiwi pubs. Alternately take the time to explore the region’s eclectic museums: Holden cars (featuring a Bathurstinspired mini-putt), Elvis Presley, taxidermy, and country music are all celebrated by Taranaki’s collectors. That’s worth a drive!
