Hanmer Springs Ward Profile Background and History In its very early days, the presence of the hot springs made the Hanmer Springs township a popular visitor destination, and entrepreneurs were quick to offer accommodation for travellers and tourists. This popularity as a holiday destination continues today and many tourism and hospitality focused businesses have flourished as a result. Timber logging and milling of the surrounding forests commenced in 1900 as part of a Government scheme employing prison labour. There have been subsequent changes of ownership and operation of this forest over the years, culminating in the recent closure of local milling, and Ngai Tahu taking over ownership as part of New Zealand’s treaty settlements legislation. The well known Queen Mary Hospital site dates back to the establishment of a Soldiers Hospital in 1916, for the recuperation and rehabilitation of injured and war weary soldiers returning from the WW1 front lines. The surrounding park-like grounds and magnificent trees add to the special value of this nationally recognized heritage site. In late 2008 the council and the New Zealand Government reached an agreement that has secured the future of a substantial six hectares of the old Queen Mary Hospital site in public ownership for present and future generations of New Zealanders. The Crown vested the land and protected Heritage buildings in the Council in 2010. Most recently the Hanmer Springs Township has undergone a facelift through the Hanmer Springs Growth Strategy. The upgrade of the town centre was completed in 2010. Ongoing upgrades have been applied to the reserves and walkways in the area. Community Board Vision The Hanmer Springs Community Board has a vision for Hanmer Springs as a place for all to live, work and play. Their vision is; “a place for all ages and stages of life, with a focus on community growth, provide a sustainable environment for people to visit and live, and expand the tourism opportunities of the area.” Recreation / Visitor Attractions Situated in a high country basin, the small, natural alpine spa village of Hanmer Springs has been a favourite retreat for generations of New Zealanders. The award winning Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa complex is a major draw card, and the pristine alpine environment with its forests, rivers and mountains enhance its appeal as the ultimate year round destination. Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022 There’s a substantial variety of accommodation available, complimented by delightful restaurants, cafés, boutique shopping, galleries and craft shops. Hanmer Springs offers activities for all tastes and fitness levels, with numerous walkways, golf, horse riding and mountain biking options available. There are opportunities for pure relaxation with massage & wellness treatments or blood pumping, thrill seeking adventures such as jet boating, white water rafting, bungee jumping, and four- wheel driving. The newly vested St James Station Conservation Area and Queen Mary Hospital site will also provide both locals and visitors with exciting new opportunities for recreational activities. Current Profile • The population of the Hanmer Springs Ward is estimated at 1,040. • With more than 600 holiday homes in the Hanmer Springs and its popularity as a tourist destination, the number of people in the area during peak holiday times can be as high as 6,000 • The hospitality industry is the single largest employer in the Hanmer Springs Ward, employing around 30% of the ward’s full time workers • Hanmer Springs has always promoted a general ‘health and wellness’ theme • There are local town planning controls in place in the Hanmer Springs Township to ensure that the look and feel of this special alpine spa village are preserved for future generations • The Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa is an award winning tourist attraction. Owned by the Hurunui District Council, the complex hosted 527,801 visitors during the twelve months ending June 30th 2011. From 2009-11 the Thermal Pools and Spa had an increase in visitor numbers of 4%. The surpluses achieved at the Hanmer Springs Thermal pools & Spa were $2,064,966 in 2009/2010 and $2,131,000 in 2010/2011. From these surpluses, a total of $3,492,460 was transferred from the Thermal Pools surplus for the funding of district wide reserves. For the 2011/2012 year, the amount to be transferred from the Thermal reserve to offset the costs of reserves throughout the District has been budgeted at $2,021,372 • The Hanmer Springs Township is home to one primary school, a child care centre and a Playcentre. Council also runs a service centre/ library in the township 65
