ANCESTORS: The tomb of Tiemi Nohomutu, a Ngai Tahu rangatira buried in
Purau in 1850. Ownership of the former Maori burial ground on Purau Ave may
soon be returned to local runanga.
Bid to return Maori
burial ground
at Purau to runanga
OWNERSHIP OF a former Maori burial
ground at Purau may be returned to local
rūnanga.
The 1011 sq m Purau Maori Reserve at
177 Purau Ave, is currently owned by the
city council, which is considering returning
ownership to local rūnanga.
The land has significance to Te
Hapū o Ngāti Wheke.
As the reserve is an urupā – a Ngāi
Tahu burial ground – Ngāti Wheke
has expressed a preference that it
be managed by court-appointed
Rāpaki trustees, who already have
responsibility for three other urupā
in Lyttelton Harbour.
There have been ongoing discussions
about returning ownership and
management of the Pūrau urupā over the
past century.
The land currently has reserve status,
and returning ownership to the rūnanga
would involve removing this under the
Reserves Act 1977.
The Banks Peninsula Community
Board will meet on Monday to discuss
autumn is here but the
market is not cooling!
The weather may be cooling but the property market in the seaside
suburbs certainly isn’t!

and vote on whether to start the process
involved in revoking the reserve status of
the land.
This would include public notification
with an opportunity for the community
to have a say on whether they support it
or not and a hearing panel would
consider all submissions before
making a recommendation to the
community board.
The board would then need to
report to the city council
seeking approval for the reserve
revocation.
Felix If the process to revoke the
Dawson reserve status goes ahead, handover
from the city council to Te Hapū o
Ngāti Wheke would take place later this
year.
Board member Felix Dawson said it was
an important issue.
“Given the significance of this piece of
land to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke we believe
it’s appropriate for the board and the
community to give serious consideration
to its return to local rūnanga.”
