Attention: Dudley Clemens<br />
Dear Dudley<br />
<strong>Mangatawa</strong> Storm<strong>water</strong> Joint Application No. 65435<br />
Please find enclosed a Cultural Impact Assessment (CIA) requested by the landowner, <strong>Mangatawa</strong><br />
Papamoa Blocks Incorporated (MPBI), who has the land adjacent to the lower <strong>Mangatawa</strong> drain<br />
leading to the harbour. This in<strong>for</strong>mation is supplementary to the consultation record in the main<br />
application and is relevant <strong>for</strong> this landowner only.<br />
The assessment identified a waahi tapu area near the lower <strong>Mangatawa</strong> drain works and has<br />
resulted in the kaumatua of Nga Potiki undertaking to determine the extent of the site. The issue<br />
identified in the CIA did not relate to the flooding of the land but was associated with movement and<br />
excavation of soil in this area (see assessment <strong>for</strong> details).<br />
A summary of the main works required along the lower <strong>Mangatawa</strong> drain include:<br />
• Redistribution of existing drain spoil, piled next to the existing drain. Appendix 10 of the<br />
main application shows the cross sectional details (Drawing 3932036 ck469 Rev A) of the<br />
proposed works.<br />
• Filling of adjacent industrial zoned land to give flood protection to the land <strong>for</strong> future<br />
develop-ability and re-contouring the lower <strong>Mangatawa</strong> drain riparian margin<br />
• Re-vegetation and landscaping of the re-contoured lower <strong>Mangatawa</strong> drain margin <strong>for</strong><br />
recreational purposes.<br />
In general terms, the CIA does not oppose these activities, however in relation to the extent of the<br />
waahi tapu site and the works required on or near it, these industrial protection works may be<br />
required to be moved westwards to avoid the extent of the waahi tapu site and accommodate the<br />
hapu’s wishes.<br />
NZTA is facilitating this process through consultation with MPBI.<br />
Yours faithfully<br />
