WELCOME TO WHANGANUI

elcome to Whanganui.

Our home is rich in history, art and culture – and we enjoy a wonderful natural environment too.

We are surrounded by mountains – Mount Taranaki, Mount Ruapehu and Mount Tongariro –beautiful landscapes, dramatic west coast beaches and unspoilt native bush for tramping and wilderness trips. 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 inspired oral, visual and written creative expression over many centuries, mixing both settled –ori European and indigenous Ma 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. Our vibrant community prides itself on its parks and reserves, cycleways and walkways and an abundance of creativity. You’ll find an immediate sense of connection, and real New Zealand authenticity here. 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-a-half from Mount Ruapehu and Mount Tongariro, or an hour’s flight from Auckland. With our high sunshine hours and pleasant climate you’ll often see people enjoying outdoor cafes or making the most of our beaches, parks and reserves. And of course, you will see people enjoying the riverside environment, where public art, walkways, activities such as waka ama and the popular Saturday market, Whanganui River Markets, all connect the river and community. You don’t have to spend too much time in Whanganui to absorb some of our fascinating history, both pre-European and colonial. 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 –hua o Te Ao is the ﬁrst national Tu centre for community glass-making and an outstanding facility and Quartz Museum of Studio Ceramics is not to be missed. We’re a small city with more amenities than most. Great shopping, supermarkets, an excellent hospital, availability of ultrafast broadband, wonderful schools and brilliant events are easily accessed and enjoyed. The close proximity of Wellington and Taranaki provides investors and entrepreneurs easy access to markets to grow their businesses sustainably. 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).

Mayoral message

aere mai ki Whanganui!

Whanganui has achieved a lot in 2018 and I know this will continue into 2019. There’s too much to mention in this introduction, but if you pick up the Whanganui Chronicle or read the Whanganui District Council website you will get an idea of how many good news stories we’ve had in the last 12 months. You may have noticed a slightly different focus for this edition of Welcome to Whanganui. There’s more information about welcoming newcomers to our district through the Welcoming Communities Plan. This plan was developed in July 2018 as a pilot to help make Whanganui a welcoming place to live, whether you are from Namibia or the North Shore. I know Whanganui is a welcoming place because everyone I have talked to in the last year who has moved here has told me how easy they’ve found it to relocate and become part of our community. In 2018, 135 people in Whanganui became New Zealand citizens and I was privileged to welcome them in ofﬁcial ceremonies throughout the year. So, what has been going on in our district? Our Town Centre project is humming along, with a recent coffee enterprise and outdoor games in a formerly vacant space in Ridgway Street.

The ‘little park’ on the corner of Victoria Avenue and Guyton Street has attracted people to sit and eat, talk and get to know each other. The community development at Castlecliff has continued and the beachside suburb is now one of the places to be. The biggest change to our district planning occurred in September 2018, when the northwest area of Whanganui was rezoned, which means 450 houses can be built in this area. Finding different and innovative ways to accommodate all Whanganui residents – new and old – is something the Council and community must focus on in 2019. The growth we are benefitting from must be sustainable so we can continue to be a place which “works for everyone” - one of the pillars of our Leading Edge Strategy which will be important to keep in mind. Other significant milestones in 2018 include the completion of the environmentally sound wastewater treatment plant and a saving to ratepayers to boot from the final bill. The sale of our forestry will also contribute to a reduction in debt. The New Zealand International Commercial Pilot Academy continues to thrive, bringing young people to Whanganui from around the world and the Government is definitely paying attention to us with funding

for rural broadband, an aviation programme, port development and research into diversifying the kinds of plants we can grow in our temperate climate and rich soils. During 2019 there are events for everyone to enjoy, from Whanganui Vintage Weekend, the 30th anniversary of the New Zealand Masters Games in February, the CoLab Glass Conference and more. Keep safe, drive safely and enjoy Whanganui. Ka kite ano

WELCOME TO WHANGANUI

Our community

ur district boundaries fall across the ancestral boundaries –poko and Tu –poho of Tamau on the Whanganui River, the South – Rauru K tahi and Tarakaki Iwi Nga –ti Apa of the Rangitikei. Customs, Nga tikanga (protocol) and values including manaakitanga (hospitality) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) –ori with emphasise the afﬁnity of Ma their ancestral landscapes and culture. Whanganui is currently thriving with the population sitting around 44,500. We keenly await the results of the 2018 Census which will tell us how many newcomers have made Whanganui their home. The test census in March 2017 showed Whanganui is growing at a rate of about 700 people per year – the largest population growth in decades. • A Welcoming Community Diversity is an important part of Whanganui’s character and newcomers from around the world ﬁnd a warm welcome here. In keeping with our famous hospitality, Whanganui is one of nine New Zealand districts taking part in a pilot programme designed to welcome migrants, refugees and international students. • A Safe Community - Safer Whanganui is a communityled collaboration that provides leadership and direction with everyone working in partnership

to create a safer community for all. The success of this programme was recognised in 2010, when Whanganui was awarded International Safe Community accreditation. • Positive Ageing - Whanganui District Council is committed to promoting positive attitudes to ageing in Whanganui so that older adults are able to be as informed, active, healthy and independent as possible, and be the heart of our community. • Sister Cities - Whanganui and Nagaizumi-cho in Japan became sister cities in 1988. Nagaizumi-cho was chosen due to its demographic similarities to Whanganui and rural nature, as well as the likely prospect of mutual beneﬁts. There are now strong social, cultural, sporting and educational links between the two cities; a strong contingent of Nagaizumi-cho residents is participating in the Downer New Zealand Masters Games in 2019 to celebrate this relationship. The sister city relationship with Toowoomba in Australia was forged 37 years ago and there are regular visits between the two cities. • Having your say in our community - Whanganui District Council encourages you to share your views and there are several ways you can do this. Viewpoint Whanganui is an online community

hub where residents, visitors and anyone who is passionate about Whanganui can have their say about issues important to our district. Sharing your ideas with others in the community and shaping Whanganui by feeding into the Council’s decisionmaking process is what Viewpoint Whanganui is all about. Start engaging with Viewpoint Whanganui at whatdoyouthink.org.nz • Our District, Your Say, is an online community panel. We want to hear from residents, ratepayers, business owners, workers, students and volunteers… anyone who is part of our community. There are two requirements for membership to Our District, Your Say. You need to be: • anyone with access to an email account who is interested in our community • a resident, ratepayer, business owner, worker, student or volunteer The Our District, Your Say panel has worked alongside the Council on numerous topics including: • a CCTV strategy • an economic development strategy • Castlecliff Reserve and Pukenamu Queen’s Park management plans • a speed limits review For more information and to learn how to become a member, visit: www.whanganui.govt.nz/our-district/ have-your-say

ATTRACTIONS

Te awa o Whanganui Whanganui River

visit to New Zealand’s longest navigable river, the Whanganui River, and the road which winds beside it into the Whanganui National Park, is a journey to a hinterland: with unique scenery, marae communities, and historic places of interest. It was ﬁrst investigated, in its upper reaches, for its potential to be a National Park in 1896. The source of the river is the mountain, Tongariro. It is joined by the Ongarue north of Taumarunui, and by the Whakapapa in National Park. _

Maori have occupied the area “since the ﬁres of Paerangi (the ancestor god Paerangi Atua, or the Milky Way) were lit”. Before 1860, hapu gardens in communities like Manganui a Te Ao, Pipiriki, Ranana

and Jerusalem, fed Wellington and Christchurch. European settlement on the Whanganui River began in Raetihi in the 1890s and early settlers began to arrive, along with Anglican, Methodist and Catholic missionaries, most notably, Sister Mary Joseph Aubert (Suzanne Aubert), at Jerusalem. Others followed in search of a new life and farming opportunities. Alexander Hatrick introduced river boats and purchased Pipiriki House which became a prime destination by paddle steamer. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the river became a major tourist attraction and the experience was likened to cruising the Rhine in Europe. Today the Whanganui River and Whanganui River Road can be

explored in many different ways by vehicle, bike, jet boat, canoe or on foot. Some tour operators can provide a cultural and educational experience with entertainment and accommodation facilities if required.

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 up the river and back three days a week from October until Christmas, then six days a week until April. The two hour experience, enhanced by tales of the colourful history of the steamer and of the river, is popular with both young and old.

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

The road is narrower than the main highway and follows a winding route, which requires a slower driving speed than usual. The river valley is still a major attraction. It offers unrivalled opportunities for walking, cycling, hunting and tramping in native bush, as well as activities on the water, including jetboat trips and single and multi-day canoeing. Canoe trips over any number of days can include camping and accommodation on shore at selected spots where history and cultural experiences may be provided. The Whanganui River is included in Te Araroa, New Zealand’s Trail, and is one of New Zealand’s Great Walks – The Whanganui Journey. The River Road is also part of the Mountains to Sea national cycleway.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION

Civil Defence

ivil Defence is all of us working together to take care of our community.

Civil Defence Emergency Management Whanganui is led by Whanganui District Council, which is able to co-ordinate a wide range of groups and agencies, such as the Police, Fire and Emergency New Zealand and emergency services to: • help prevent loss of life • help the injured and relieve distress • help the community return to normal In an emergency, everyone needs to be self-reliant and prepared to survive in their own home for at least three days without assistance. What you do now to prepare can make a huge difference to how you and your family cope, and it helps emergency services focus more effectively on helping those directly impacted. An emergency could occur at any time in our district. Possible emergencies include: • ﬂoods • severe weather events • hazardous chemical spills (industrial/transport accident) • loss of water or power supply • earthquakes • volcanic eruptions • tsunami • inﬂuenza pandemics In the case of an emergency, Civil Defence Centres may be opened if there is a need and

the resources are available. It’s helpful to know where your nearest Civil Defence Centre is so visit www.whanganui.govt.nz/civildefence for Google Maps links to the centres. In an emergency, these centres are the base for trained volunteers who provide help, advice and guidance for evacuees or impacted members of the public.

HOW TO PREPARE

Basic supplies to have at home: • Water for three days or more nine litres for every person • Long-lasting food that doesn’t need cooking (unless you have a camping stove or BBQ), and food for babies and pets • Toilet paper and large plastic buckets for emergency toilets • Dust masks and work gloves

Animal management

hanganui District Council’s Animal Management Team encourages better care and control of dogs and other animals in urban and rural areas. The team is also responsible for enforcing laws and regulations associated with animals and their owners to prevent inconvenience, nuisance or safety issues for the general public.

The Animal Management Team is based at the Council’s dog pound on Ridgway Street (opposite the old public cemetery) and responds to a variety of requests around the clock. Full cover is provided from 8.00am to 5.00pm, seven days a week. The Council provides a limited range of after-hours services, determined by the urgency of the problem. These are limited to dog attacks, serious aggressive behaviour, incidents where the Police are involved or when a member of the public has secured a roaming dog on private property for pick-up. You can contact us on 349 0001 at any time.

DOG REGISTRATION

Your dog registration fees help fund a range of services that are designed to help dogs, their owners and the wider community. There is a small ratepayer contribution per year towards the cost of animal management services for stock control on our roads and highways, and for education. You need to register your dog: • when it turns three-months-old

• when you ﬁrst get him/her • thereafter on 1 July of each year. The Council has a graded registration fee structure that recognises responsible dog ownership, neutered dogs and prompt payment. For any dog turning three months of age during the year a part fee will be paid based on the number of complete months remaining in the registration year.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION

Animal management If you have moved to the Whanganui District with your dog or dogs, you will not need to pay your registration until 1 July 2019. However, please notify the Council of your animal’s arrival as soon as practicably possible so registration can be transferred from your previous authority. For current fees and discounts please visit www.whanganui.govt.nz/dogregistration-fees. The registration year is the period of 12 months from 1 July to 30 June of the following year. You can pay your yearly registration via credit or debit card online at eservices.whanganui.govt.nz. If your registration tag is lost or damaged, a replacement tag can be obtained free of charge. The Council provides a Dog Owner’s Handbook that has lots of information and advice on being a responsible owner. You can read this at www.whanganui.govt.nz/animalmanagement

LATE PENALTY FEES

A late penalty fee – 20% of the fee as if your dog had been registered on the ﬁrst day of the registration year – will be applied after 31 August each year.

DOG POUND

The dog pound is located in Ridgway Street – opposite the old public cemetery – and is open from Monday to Friday, 12.00 noon to 1.30pm, or by prior arrangement by calling 06 349 0001.

DOG EXERCISE AREAS

Under the Dog Control Bylaw 2015, dogs must be on a leash at all times in public places except in designated off-leash areas. We provide a range of dog exercise areas where dogs are able to be unleashed. There are also public areas around the district where dogs are permitted on leashes, while in some areas dogs are prohibited.

We encourage owners to use the dog exercise areas for the recreation

and well-being of their pets. The dog exercise areas are signposted and most contain doggy-doo bins. Dog owners are reminded of their responsibility to “scoop the poop” and keep public areas clean and pleasant to walk and exercise in. A list of dog exercise areas is available. Please visit www.whanganui.govt.nz/animalmanagement for more information.
