CONTENT MARKETING Wednesday March 10 2021 Bay Harbour News Trust fundraiser building up for land purchase “ROD DONALD Banks Peninsula Trust is delighted with how crowd funding for the Te Ahu Pātiki purchase is going,” trust manager Suky Thompson said. The trust launched a public campaign to fundraise $600,000 toward the purchase of Te Ahu Pātiki last October and has an agreement with the current owner to bring the land into public ownership on July 1, 2021 – giving it another four months to fundraise. “We’ve raised over half the Suky Thompson 75 amount already, so are confident that with further public support we will get there,” Thompson said. Te Ahu Pātiki is 500ha of iconic land in the Lyttelton/Whakaraupō basin including the two highest peaks on Banks Peninsula, Mt Herbert/ Te Ahu Pātiki and Mt Bradley. “The land is highly visible from nearly everywhere in the basin,” trust chairwoman Maureen Mc- Cloy said. “And from the whole Port Hills crater rim. Bay Harbour News readers will see it transform from golden gorse and pasture into green native forest over the next 30 years, as it goes through a similar transition to the more remote Hinewai Reserve near Akaroa”. Otautahi/Christchurch ¯ City Orton Bradley Park Mt. Bradley Packhorse Hut Many readers will be familiar with the walking tracks up Mt Herbert from Orton Bradley Park and Diamond Harbour, but aren’t necessarily aware that these cross private land. “Current access is through the goodwill of the existing owner – for which we are most grateful,” Rod Donald trustee Bob Webster Lyttelton Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour Diamond Harbour Te Ahu Pātiki block Mt. Herbert/Te Ahu Pātiki Little River Rod Donald Hut said. “However on a change of ownership that could cease.” The purchase of Te Ahu Pātiki will secure public access on these tracks in perpetuity and create many new recreational opportunities. Orton Bradley Park is a key partner in the purchase, 75 Te Ahu Pātiki block Orton Bradley Park DOC reserves and private protected land Te Ara Patakā Walkway and feeder tracks Akaroa Harbour Akaroa Su mmit Road providing a substantial financial contribution and offering to manage and own the block long term. “It’s for everyone forever,” chairman of the Orton Bradley Park board Matt Cameron said. Orton Bradley is ideally placed and equipped to manage the new Te Ahu Pātiki conservation park, NEWS 19 and its location immediately below the new block enables ki uta ki tai – summit to sea protection – for the entire Te Wharau stream catchment. Said Te Hapū Ngāti Wheke project leader Paul Horgan: “Te Wharau stream is the largest contributor to Whakaraupō, and helps achieve goals of Whaka- Ora – the Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour Catchment management plan.” Rod Donald Trust, Orton Bradley Park and Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke (Rāpaki) are working together closely to ensure goals for the environment, public access and mātauranga Māori are enshrined in a protective covenant and the governance structure going forward, and that the block can become financially self-sustaining over time – principally as a carbon sink. “Donations qualify for a 33 per cent tax rebate, and with the end of the tax year rapidly approaching, we urge the Bay Harbour community to donate generously now,” Thompson said. The trust is accepting donations via the Christchurch Foundation or GiveaLittle platforms. Said Thompson: “If you are thinking of making a kātote level donation ($1000) or more and wish to do so directly, or you have questions about the project, then get in touch with me via manager@roddonaldtrust.co.nz.” Te Ahu Pātiki conservation park project Mt Herbert/ Te Ahu Pātiki Mt Bradley Create a recreational gem for walking, biking and climbing Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupō Help create a legacy for Christchurch/Ōtautahi.
