The Wanganui Chronicle is New Zealand’s oldest newspaper with the first issue being produced on 18 September 1856.

Wright Stephenson’s building, corner St Hill St and Taupo Quay. the site is now Trafalgar Square

Today’s issue of the Wanganui Chronicle is read by 32,000 people on average. Aside from producing Wanganui’s daily newspaper, the Wanganui Chronicle is proud to be involved in local events and promotions and the production of special informative publications.

“Welcome to Wanganui” is one of these publications, designed to provide information to new, as well as existing residents and visitors to our beautiful city.

You may have seen the name NZME. associated with the Wanganui Chronicle lately.

This is because APN NZ, which owns the Wanganui Chronicle, and a number of other media organisations are being joined under the one name, NZME., which stands for New Zealand Media and Entertainment.

The new name is to reflect the changing nature of the company which has radio, digital, e-commerce and print brands.

Companies belonging to NZME. include TRN, or The Radio Network radio stations including ZM, Newstalk ZB, Radio Sport and Radio Hauraki, and GrabOne, the one day sale website.

The change in name also reflects how print media has changed with a newspaper “masthead” such as the after Chronicle now offering websites and broadcast news as well as print.

Carbine Stables, Drews Avenue

NZME. - the dot is important in this cyber world! - reaches more than 2.9 million New Zealanders each day, whether it is reading, listening, watching or browsing news, entertainment or shopping.

And though we are now NZME., the essential nature of the Wanganui Chronicle will not change. We are still the fastest, most comprehensive and informative source of news in the region and the most effective means of advertisers getting their message across.

Welcome To Wanganui

WELCOME TO e are one of New Zealand’s oldest settlements and continue to be a thriving, innovative and creative community with a beautiful natural setting.

The area was first settled

by Whanganui iwi followed

by European settlers in 1841.

The town was called Petre until 1854, after New Zealand Company director Lord Henry Petre.

Because local iwi pronounce the ‘wh’ sound as a soft ‘w’ sound, unlike the rest of New Zealand, where it is pronounced as an ‘f’ sound, European settlers wrote down the name of the city in English as they heard it.

The city is recognised as both ‘Wanganui’ and ‘Whanganui’ with individuals and organisations able to choose how they want to spell it.

Our rich cultural heritage is carried throughout the city

W

and district, with our preserved historic buildings and beautiful parks and gardens. Victoria Avenue is recognised as one of New Zealand’s most attractive main streets. Gaslights, wrought iron garden seats, exotic plants and hanging baskets all contribute. We also have a variety of markets selling local produce and craft, including the River Traders Market Whanganui’s Market by the River.

We have a vibrant and talented artistic community. Students and participants come from all over the country and from overseas to attend classes and summer school.

Galleries and studios feature glass, painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles and indigenous arts and crafts.

Our district is also the home to two internationally renowned institutions – the Sarjeant Gallery

WANGANUI

and the Whanganui Regional Museum.

The vast number of sporting and recreational facilities available here have earned us an international reputation as one of the finest sports training regions, with an excellent selection of sports facilities and many committed organisations and clubs.

We also boast some of the finest educational providers in the country.

Business opportunities prosper and the close proximity of Wellington and Taranaki regions provides investors and entrepreneurs ease of access to markets, and sustainable growth of business. We have been recognised for three years running as a Smart21 Intelligent Community, in part for our early installation of ultrafast broadband. This is another reason businesses want to relocate to our city.

We are also committed to making sure all our people are 100% connected to technology for the education, health and social services they need.

Within our district are many beautifully restored historic homes as well as a number of new housing estates, while only five kilometres from the city centre in our beautiful hinterland, farmlets provide a choice of commercial or lifestyle properties.

Our amenities are close at hand and there are many choices for schools, sports and shopping. For those looking to retire here, there are a wide range of small, low maintenance homes available.

There are few places in New Zealand that can provide the standard, style and value of living available here. Whanganui works for us and we hope it works for you too.

MAYORAL MESSAGE Annette Main Wanganui Mayor eople who have recently chosen Whanganui as their home, as well as those who have lived here for some time, know that Whanganui is a place with a long history of innovation, creativity and partnership.

P

Our Whanganui River, our awa, is at the heart of our district and stretches from the mountain to the sea. We make the best use of this beautiful natural asset for recreation, as a meeting place and as an inspiration for our creative community.

The Whanganui District has been recognised by the Intelligent Community Forum as one of the 21 smartest communities in the world for the hard work we have put into getting everyone in our district globally connected. Our ultrafast broadband build will be completed in early 2015 which means everyone, whether they are connected at home, in our libraries or in parts of our central city, will have access to the technology needed to make their lives better and easier.

We have talked to a lot of people in our district recently about what they think about the place they live and what they have said is, ‘Whanganui works for me’.

We have affordable housing, excellent education, awardwinning parks and gardens and a thriving arts scene. New businesses, many of which make good use of our ultrafast broadband capabilities, have relocated or started up here and a number of established companies have moved into larger premises.

Added to this we have excellent sporting venues, a beautiful rural hinterland and a busy city centre with boutique shops, plenty of cafes and restaurants and free access to wi-ďŹ .

This directory is a handy guide to some of the attractions we have on offer for both locals and visitors. It also provides information on some of the services your Council provides.

I hope you will ďŹ nd time to enjoy what our district has to offer.

Welcome To Wanganui

WHANGANUI RIVER Te Awa Whanganui Ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au I am the river and the river is me.

These words embody the spiritual, cultural and historical relationship of Whanganui Maori with the river which holds their ancestry. This important saying traditionally used by local Maori has become increasingly relevant to locals of European descent whose lives and history have also become interwoven with the river.

The Whanganui River begins high up in the volcanic plateau of the central North Island at Mt Tongariro, and travels north towards Taumarunui before heading south toward our urban centre Whanganui, nearly 300 kilometres. Its journey to the sea passes through the native tree and fern clad hills of the Whanganui National Park. Tree ferns and rare native plants cling to the steep riverbanks and morning mist clings to the surface of the water from dawn, rising slowly with the light of day.

This dramatic landscape opens out in the lower reaches of the river to follow farmland and open valleys to the coastal dunes which border the Tasman Sea.

TE AWA O WHANGANUI

INTRODUCTION TO THE WHANGANUI RIVER ROAD The Whanganui River Road follows the majestic Whanganui River (Te Awa o Whanganui) from just north of our urban centre to Pipiriki.

A journey along the River Road is a step back in time, revealing the heritage of the local iwi, the remnants of early European settlement as well as many historic landmarks and features. This is a fascinating drive for those wanting to experience the real New Zealand.

Taking over 30 years to construct, the Whanganui River Road was opened in 1934. Construction was delayed many times because of floods and slips. Prior to the 1930s almost all access to these remote settlements was from boats that operated along the Whanganui River.

Key settlements along the River Road include Hiruharama (Jerusalem), Koriniti (Corinth), Atene (Athens), and Ranana (London).

At Hiruharama there is a beautiful village and convent. This settlement is also famous as the location for Mother Aubert’s mission and poet James K Baxter’s commune.

Throughout time, custodianship of the river has been bestowed upon the descendants of three sibling ancestors, who are Hinengakau of the top reaches near Taumarunui, the eldest Tamaupoko, assigned the middle reaches and Tupoho the lower reaches. The District falls across the ancestral boundaries of Tamaupoko and Tupoho. Also crossing over into our district is the South Taranaki iwi Nga Rauru Kitahi and also Ngati Apa of the Rangitikei.

Once the longest operating flour mill on the river, Kawana Mill is now a beautifully restored building and museum. Near Ranana you can find a cairn commemorating the ‘Battle of Moutoa’ . This 1864 battle on Moutoa Island was between Whanganui Maori and invading warriors from the north.

Throughout the region a growing number of Maori share their cultural and spiritual connections with visitors of many countries.

Customs and protocol (tikanga) and values including hospitality (manaakitanga) and guardianship (kaitiakitanga) emphasise their ancestral landscapes and culture.

The journey from the city centre to Pipiriki takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the number of stops. For an ideal day trip, you can complete a loop from Wanganui to Pipiriki, across to Raetihi and back to Whanganui along the Parapara Scenic Highway. This round trip can be completed in 4 to 6 hours, depending on the number of stops.

Pipiriki is the end of the Whanganui River Road and is a base for many river operators. Jet-boat trips are available from here to the famous ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ and many canoe tours start and end here too.

DINING

OPTIONS

he dining culture in Wanganui is alive and well.

More and more people meet socially over morning tea, lunch, dinner and maybe just for a coffee. Business meetings are often conducted in this manner and these days the majority of staff like to escape their workplace to join in on the café culture. So whether it’s a quick bite to eat, lunch or dinner with friends or a workplace function, there’s a variety of choices and cultures in town to choose from.

nter Liquorland in Victoria Ave and you’ll be greeted, personally.

Jenny Murphy owns and manages Wanganui’s only locally owned liquor store, employing nine smiling staff members.

“It’s critical your staff are friendly and welcoming with a certain amount of product knowledge,” she says.

It’s the “customer friendly” attitude that turns casual shoppers into regulars and ensures everyone feels comfortable in the store.

Even with limited space, Liquorland is well stocked and product is laid out in “rooms” where customers can browse.

The stands are well spaced, easy to access, with room for mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Jenny says she is also keen to bring in new product at customers’ requests.

And Liquorland is a Flybuys store.

“Download the Flybuys app on to your smartphone,” says Jenny. “Come in to the store, look at the Flybuys app to see how many points you’ve got, you can push ‘redeem’ right there on the spot and walk out with product.” The idea is perfect when looking for gifts and there’s a stand in the store with product redeemable for Flybuys points.

Throughout the shop there is variety, from tried and true to new imports and seasonal promotions.

An increased selection of European wines includes the new proseccos – lighter than standard Kiwi bubblies – and a variety of sparkling wine from home and abroad. From Lindauer Fraise, now only available from traditional liquor stores, a good lunchtime wine, to higher end sparkling wines and champagnes for special occasions – Dom Perignon, Bollinger, Moët...

Due out is Moët Ice. Fill a goblet (not a flute) with ice, pour your Moët in and add a slice of lime, a sprig of mint or freshly slice pineapple, for example. “It just transforms it,” says Jenny.

“The stickies [dessert wines] are still a nice option.” Jenny recommends a sticky wine over ice as a summer treat.

The Edenvale zero alcohol wines are in stock as well as lower alcohol wines from the likes of Belle by Invivo.

Of course, old favourites like Mateus Rose will always have a place on the shelf. “There’s still a big demand,” she says.

Liquorland has an expanded range of craft beers for those willing to experiment with flavours and there are even more single malt whiskeys in stock, including Monkey Shoulder, a blend from Glenfiddich Balvinie and Kininvie. Just the presentation will have an impact – a bottle in a cage with two of the bars prized apart. Has the monkey escaped?

As well as a big range of spirits and fortified wines, plain and flavoured ciders and RTD favourites, have a look at the entertaining and interesting novelty www.wanganuichronicle.co.nz

section. Everyone needs a skull on their mantel piece, or an oversized bottle of Jim Beam.

Whatever your favourite, it’s worth a visit to Liquorland.

Welcome To Wanganui

CIVIL DEFENCE IN THE WHANGANUI DISTRICT

C

ivil Defence is all about people helping people. It is all of us working together to take care of our community’s needs in an emergency event. If there is an emergency, everyone needs to be self-reliant and prepared to survive in their own homes for at least three days without assistance, other than from their neighbours. In an emergency, Civil Defence co ordinates a wide range of groups and agencies to: • Help prevent loss of life • Help the injured and relieve distress • Help return the community to normal Wanganui Civil Defence Emergency Management is there to help people in an emergency event. The Wanganui District Council and the Police, Fire and Ambulance services may not be able to manage the situation on their own. The Civil Defence network is able to bring together extra resources to help these services cope. An emergency could occur at any time in our district. Possible emergencies include: • • • • • • • •

Floods Storms/high winds Hazardous chemical spills (industrial/transport accident) Loss of water or power supply Earthquakes Volcanic eruptions Tsunami/pressure sea waves Influenza pandemic

In the case of an emergency, civil defence welfare centres may be opened. We have 12 civil defence centres throughout the Whanganui District. It’s helpful to know where your nearest emergency welfare centre is so visit www. wanganui.govt.nz and click on your nearest centre to see a map of it on Google Maps.

In an emergency, these centres are the base for a mobile support team, which is made up of volunteers.

The support team’s role is to gather information and advise Civil Defence Emergency Management of the degree or level of problems in that area.

Civil Defence sirens A number of electronic warning sirens are stationed along the lower Whanganui River estuary and the Castlecliff coastline. These are primarily for warning of possible tsunami impact in the Wanganui area, with a separate large siren at Mowhanau.

Visit the Civil Defence page of www.wanganui.govt.nz to listen to “The Sting”, the electronic warning sound which is broadcast for official Civil Defence warnings. The local urban sirens use the exact same sound. The Civil Defence sirens are tested on the first Wednesday of each month at 8.30am.

If you hear a continuous sounding of the sirens, please tune in to your nearest working radio station and listen for information. Civil Defence will send correct information to the media as soon as possible.
