Amuri-Hurunui Ward Profile Background and History New Beginnings Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022 Amuri The township of Waiau was the first of the three main settlements established in the area previously known as the Amuri Ward. It originated in the 1860s, and due to the ferry, the bridging of Waiau River, the opening of the road to Kaikoura and the completion of the railway line, soon became an important farm servicing and transport centre. The development of Rotherham as a township followed in 1877, as it was laid out in order to attract labourers to the district. Culverden was the last to be established and only so due to the arrival of the railway in 1886, consequently becoming the rail and coach, as well as the farming centre for Amuri. Over the years, the Amuri has been an area of traditional large scale farming, characterised in many cases by continuous family ownership across several generations. A secondary school department was established in Culverden in 1960, making it the third high school in the district, changing its status to an area school in 1977. The first ‘Amuri Community Health Centre’ opened in Rotherham in 1982. The impact of the arrival of the dairy industry in the 1980’s has been substantial and provided enormous opportunities. The future of the industry will be heavily influenced by the potential to store water. Hurunui Historically, the Waikari Township was a very busy little community with the flour mill, lime-works siding adjacent to the north bound railway line providing a lot of employment locally. It also accomodated the Hurunui County offices, an extensive council works yard. Waikari school established 1882. The nearby township of Hawarden began with a Roads’ Board cottage and a store on a route taken by thousands of gold seekers who made their way over the old Weka Pass Road in the 1860s. Later Hawarden became the service centre for a large farming area and included several businesses, a post office, a community hall and a church. Hawarden Consolidated School was a feeder from Hurunui, Medbury, Mason’s Flat and The Peaks – becoming Hawarden District High school in 1927, it was the first high school of the Hurunui District, and is now known as Hurunui College. Water supplies and sewerage works for the two townships were completed in 1966. A medical centre was first opened in Waikari in 1971. Both communities had Post Offices. Following a legislatively mandated Representation Review in 2007, the Local Government Commission determined that the pre-existing individual Amuri and Hurunui Wards become amalgamated to form a new combined ward area: the Amuri- Hurunui Ward. In their determination, the Commissioners wrote that they felt there were “sufficient commonalities of interest to enable effective representation within this new combined ward area” and cited that both the Hurunui and Amuri Wards are located within the same valley and are both primarily agriculture areas with collections of small, discreet settlement areas that supported the surrounding rural hinterland. However the Commissioners also noted that the Hurunui and Amuri ward and community committees had “strong community governance arrangements” and recommended retaining these as part of the new structure. Recreation / Visitor Attractions The townships of Amuri-Hurunui epitomise small New Zealand rural towns. They are great places to relax and enjoy the local scenery and attractions. The natural outdoors paradise at the southern area of the ward features some of New Zealand’s most spectacular mountain ranges, hillside, lakes and the headwaters of the Hurunui River, as well as offering many accommodation options for visitors. Waikari is the final stop for the popular Weka Pass vintage steam railway, and the area is a photographers’ dream – resplendent with remarkable limestone rock outcrops and some breathtakingly beautiful sunsets over the ranges and hinterland. The stunning vistas can readily be taken in from the Weka Pass Walkway, and you can also climb up a local hill to view ancient Mäori rock drawings in the Weka Pass Reserve. Since 1868 the historic Hurunui Hotel has provided weary drovers moving sheep from Nelson to Christchurch for stock sales with a place to rest and pick up their mail and catch up on news. As the gateway to Canterbury all the sheep entering the district were once dipped here before moving on to avoid the spread of any diseases from one region to another. The Hotel remains a classic landmark in North Canterbury and is still a great place to stop for refreshments. Just a few kilometres to the west, Hawarden is home to the well-known Flaxmere Gardens - which are Gardens of National Significance, and is the gateway to the secluded wilderness and pristine Lake Sumner Forest Park area offering excellent fishing and hunting grounds. Events of interest in the Hurunui area include the Hawarden A&P Show, Waikari annual ANZAC day fun run, ART in the Garden, and the biennial Hurunui Race and Gala Day. 55
