Pond Life - Issue 26 (August 2023)

W inte r Winter Re flect ions Reflections

Welcome to Pond Life...

Welcome to another edition of the Pond Life.

Our days have been very unpredictable of late. Every morning we wake to different weather –rain, sunshine, wind. Our daily life tends to revolve around the weather. Lawn mowing has to be deferred, washing rushes out to the line when there is sun, rubbish tins fall over in the wind. We tie down items that may fly away and end up at the neighbours’ house.

In spite of all that, we continue to make the best of things.

As more bad weather approaches remember to check on your elderly neighbours.

Have some fun! Get with friends, join a group, have a party, spend time with family. Your days will feel brighter. There are knitting and crochet groups, sports groups, coffee and craft groups and probably many more out there that we don’t know about.

Pat James, Sue Matete & Rae Baxter. Big thank you

CCTV Update

The system has been stable, but we are now at the point where the first cameras installed as part of this system are coming to end of their operating life so we are beginning to replace them as required. A plate camera replacement is approximately $3,000 so we can reasonably expect this to be a minimum annual cost for maintaining the cameras going forward.

We seem to be in a quiet phase at the moment with few requests being received, which is nice to see. Those that have been made were regarding thefts of packages delivered to households or other items left at the front of the house. One was just a pair of shoes belonging to someone visiting the homeowner.

If you have ordered something, either ensure someone will be home to receive it or have it delivered to your work place. Petty crimes like this lead to more serious offending later. We don’t want to provide any encouragement for them to come into our community.

What to do if there has been a burglary or other incident:

• Report what happened to the Police. Also give them the CCTV contact number 0220918033 to obtain camera footage to assist investigation.

• Please also ring CCTV HOTLINE 022 0918 033 yourself and leave a message with the time and details and incident report number.

Here is how to pay your Community CCTV subscription: $20 per household each year to help maintain and expand the CCTV street camera network. Thanks to all who have already contributed.

Wattle Downs Land & History

What makes Wattle Downs as it is today?

Rain, sun and plants have all come together in Wattle Downs to shape our land and build soil for a very long time. On average the sun shines more than 5½ hours per day. We get over one metre of rain each year, more than double what London receives. So much rain, that there is even an underground store of water, an aquifer underneath the ground. Rainwater has slowly percolated through the soils, clay and stones to create this underground reserve of water, which comes to the surface through bores and springs.

Long before people came to this land, plants, trees and other native life thrived here amidst the sun and rain. There was erosion as the high rainfall and coastal wave action wore away the soft soils and rock. These subsoils consist of mixed sands, silts and clays derived from volcanic ash and estuarine peat.

Totara trees flourished in the conditions. Pohutukawa trees grew large and led the way in holding soils together, especially near the edges, and where the land might otherwise slip.

Maori life came to the peninsula several hundred years ago. The Wattle Downs peninsula overlooks the entire Pahurehure Inlet and would have been a strategic location for occupation. There were pās or fortified sites near the end of what is now Mull Place (Takirangaranga Point) and above the mouth of the Papakura Stream (near the end of Crannich Place). These are located on headlands on the southern side of the peninsula, commanding views of access into the inlet and further inland towards Papakura and Takaanini. Maori were very aware of the fish, birds and plant resources in lowland and coastal parts of the area. Some signs of where people lived, cultivated, ate and stored food still remain.

In the 19th and 20th centuries settlers came from Europe.Their way of living changed the land and environment again. By 1853 the name ‘Kauri Point’ had been given to the headland at the base of the peninsula when Captain Drury mapped the Manukau Harbour. A map of the Manukau Harbour from 1860 shows that by that

time, the peninsula was under ‘Native Title’ as an allotment of 600 acres, bounded on the northeast by the Papakura River.

The suburb of Wattle Downs as a whole was given its name from the farm that was established on the peninsula in 1884, where a 200-acre grove of wattle trees was planted to provide the wattle extract used in tanning leather. This venture was, in the long-term, a commercial failure, but it gave us the name ‘Wattle Farm’ or later ‘Wattle Downs Farm’.

You can still see wattle trees around our peninsula, possibly descended from the trees that were part of the wattle farm. After the wattle farm closed, the land was largely cleared for livestock farming including sheep, cattle & dairy. People descended from those who worked on these farms live on in the area today.

Beginning in the 1970s, the farms were gradually subdivided & developed into a number of intensive

residential areas, including Wattle Cove, Mahia Park, Kirkdale, Acacia Cove and Wattle Park, with several areas such as Kauri Point which were set aside as recreation reserves. By this stage the coast was already described as badly eroded, even though some protection had been provided by Macrocarpa trees planted along the edges.

Where houses and roads were built the ground was massively disturbed by earthworks including scraping off of topsoil and filling in some of the lower lying areas.

In the few areas that were not disturbed, there is topsoil 200mm deep lying above an orangebrown clay subsoil; great growing conditions for trees, which can help hold the ground from slipping, as well as for growing so many different plants.

Thanks to David Hopkins for this informative article.

Pest Free Wattle Downs Update

Successful, Resourceful, High achievers is the only way to describe the team of ten dedicated people that look after the bait stations.

This year the team won an award from Bupa and received accolades from residents and Council. Council, the Local Board and Wattle Downs Residents’ and Ratepayers Association all support Pest Free Wattle Downs 2103. Thank you.

We have 150 bait stations, 6 cage traps, 30 DoC200 traps available to use. To date we have helped the birds and lizards survive by eliminating 54 hedgehogs and 28 possums. It is hard to know how many rats and mice have been eliminated, but we have used 30 twenty litre buckets of baits. If you walk along the boardwalk path you’ll see bait stations. These are checked and rebaited regularly.

If you have mice or rats on your property, it is likely that they are eating and drinking from sources within the property - please check that:

• Dog and cat food isn’t outside

• Water bowls, dishes, buckets are empty

• Fruit off trees isn’t on the ground

• Compost heaps are enclosed • Rubbish or bags aren’t present

• Fat or food scrapes aren’t down drains or on the ground

• Gaps under doors or holes in the buildings are blocked.

What’s next... well more planting of natives along the foreshore for bird and bee food plus the added benefits of slowing erosion.

We will start intensifying the number of bait stations in an area to try and rid the ‘hot spots’ of vermin.

The Zero Waste Hub

Manurewa Community Recycling Centre

The Manurewa Community Recycling Centre is a place of community connection, a destination for learning and, most importantly, where practical actions can be taken to reduce waste to landfill by reusing, repurposing and recycling as much as possible.

This is a small recycling centre. The focus is on good quality household items. These are recycled, reused, upcycled and repurposed.

Their opening hours are Thursday - Sunday, 8:30am - 4pm

38 Holmes Road, Manurewa, Auckland 2102

Lovely Loleta is the manager.

Items that are in good working condition are free to drop off.

The full list of free and charged items is available on their website: www.beautification.org.nz/manurewa-community-recycling-centre

Not all items can be accepted. This list is also available on their website.

I have donated many items to this recycling store and also purchased several things including jigsaw puzzles and clothing. The prices are extremely low; it is well organised and clean. The staff are so approachable and willing to go the extra mile. For example, I was wanting to find a red dress (for a fun run) for my Christchurch nephew. Wasn’t sure the dress I found would fit him, so the lovely Stephen tried it on. What amazing service!! Don’t get that kind of service at department stores.

Plant Swap

Gardeners, have you seen our plant swap at56 Wattle Farm Rd?

Drop in a spare plant or two and see if there are any plants you want.

It’s great if you can also leave a simple label naming your plant and maybe a plastic tray under the plants protecting the stand. Enjoy.

Reremoana School

Tena koutou Wattle Downs, I hope this edition of Pond Life finds you well. Here are a couple of highlights from our year so far at Reremoana School.

This term (Term 2) in the Tūī team (Year 5/6) we have been working on an inquiry project called ‘Mahi not the Money’. This day was all about doing good for the community and not expecting anything in return. This was also an event to fill everyone’s hauora (wellbeing).

The Tūī team first thought of this project when we were talking about Te Whare Tapa Whā and what we can do to help not just our own hauora but help those around us too. We had thought of some things that would help out the community. Some of the events that were involved in this project were: a beach clean up, car wash, lawn mowing, helping out at the Manurewa football club and cleaning waka at our local lake. Our tamariki even went down to the Bupa Retirement Village and last but not least a few of our tamariki went to our local kindergartens.

“The carwashing was fun especially when our teachers showed up with their cars! Some of us really loved getting to go to the two local daycares and help out by gardening and reading to them. A lucky few even went out with our mātua (parents) to their workplaces and helped out. Some of the organisations we helped can’t wait for us to come back again soon! In conclusion we loved getting to go out and do something for others. We had a blast so we hope to do this again in the future.”

By Tanvi V, Marley G and Cooper H.

If you have been past Reremoana School in the last few weeks you may have all noticed our spectacular pātaka kai out the front (in front of the garden, next to ELCM Wattle Cove). This taonga was carved by the very talented Joshua SilberyMartin and it represents our name, Reremoana, and the local Manurewa history. The pātaka kai grew out of an inquiry learning unit started by the 2022 Tūī Team that included Aotearoa/New Zealand History. We held the unveiling of the pātaka kai in May (which is named Hinemoana Pātaka Kai) guided by Kaumatua Martin Cooper from the Manurewa Marae. We were honoured to have Mana Whenua and local board members join us for the unveiling - it was a beautiful dawn! The pātaka kai is for our community, to give what you can and take what you need. Since the unveiling it’s been a real pleasure to see kai coming and going and this taonga used to support our community.

Clayton Park School

Clayton Park School has been appreciating our new pou or totem poles, made possible through a Creatives In Schools grant.

We have two acrylic birds to attach to complete the project and they represent Tamapahore and Tamapahure. Our tallest pou acknowledges the mountain Matukutureia, the middle pou showcases Manurewa Marae, the smallest pou acknowledges our school learners. The other three pou reflect designs from Aotearoa New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa. These were created by students and a local artist.

We are also looking forward to the completion of our sunshade over the courts as this provides great protection from the sun and rain, and gives us a beautiful outdoor performing space. Once that is in place, we will add some colourful poured concrete around our Pasifika village to connect all our huts and give students another place to engage with their learning.

Whilst we have many other projects underway, these are the two that will be seen very shortly.

As a community, you may have noticed the new pergola go up over the mural outside the school. This was built by MMA who also did a fantastic job building our new huts for the juniors, and installing the pallisade fencing around our aatea by the carved entrance.

Thanks to our parents for planting up many spaces in the school to celebrate Matariki on the last week of school. We look forward to seeing those plants thrive for a long time.

We are holding an art exhibition at the end of Term 3. We humbly request donations of unwanted art, canvases (used or not we will paint over them) and frames of any size. This will give our kids an improved base to show their creativity off. If you have any quantity you are happy to send our way, please contact office@claytonpark.school.nz to arrange pick up or drop off

One final cheer for the raised crossing we have been asking for several years. For such a busy road, we wondered why it has taken so long to put in place.

As usual, stay safe and connected.

Wattle Downs Golf Course

As most residents of Wattle Downs know, our peninsula has a 9 hole golf course tucked in amongst the trees and residences.

Some of you may well be long-time patrons of the course and others may only know it from driving past the carpark on Wattle Farm Road.

Below is some information about the course that the community might find useful.

Who is the golf course for?

The course is situated on private land, but it is a place for all people. Beginner golfers are encouraged to get a lesson from the local coach, Stephen Partridge. There is a dedicated coaching area where you can learn in peace. Experienced golfers often come to grab a game before or after work. There is also a thriving Men’s division on Saturdays and Ladies’ division on Wednesdays.

Is there a restaurant on premises?

There is a well equipped restaurant inside the Clubhouse run by the lovely May. Membership to the club is not required for entry, everyone is welcome. It is open 7 days per week, starting at 6.30am on weekdays. The coffee is a ‘must-try’ item. We also have cabinet food for breakfast and cooked meals for lunch and dinner. Function bookings for up to 80 people are also available, call us on 09 268 1929 to enquire.

Opening Hours: Monday & Tuesday 6.30am-1pm. Wednesday & Thursday 6.30am-1pm / 4-7pm. Friday 6.30am-8.30pm. Saturday & Sunday 9am-7pm.

Are dogs allowed on the course?

Dogs are not allowed on the golfing areas (greens, fairways, bunkers, etc). However, they are allowed outside the clubhouse, in the carpark and in the courtyard. You are welcome to bring your pooch, but please keep them on a lead when on the property.

Can I walk through/on the golf course?

Wattle Downs has a number of excellent park and picnic areas. We discourage people from being on the course unless they are playing golf. The aim is to look out for our players. Golf balls can fly unpredictably and, unless you are familiar with the timing, direction and etiquette of golf, it is best to avoid the area of play. There are exceptions to this rule however. For example, the annual Christmas Picnic in December is a great time to experience the grass with the family. We close part of the course for safety during these kinds of events.

Shoreline Adaptation Plan

Wattle Downs Residents Association Submission to Auckland Council, Pahurehure Inlet 2023

Wattle Downs Residents Association is pleased to contribute further to the care and protection of coastal shorelines through Auckland Council planning and action processes.

Along both sides of the Wattle Downs peninsula, there is a wide diversity of coastal landforms and habitats. Residents greatly value the natural spaces of the shoreline with the sealife, the beaches, and the birds. We seek greater action to protect these treasures for generations to come.

management framework and actually allocate real, ongoing resources to implement protective measures.

Auckland Council adopted the Coastal Management Framework for the Auckland Region in 2017 based on considerable expertise. However, since its adoption, we have seen very little preventive action along Wattle Downs shorelines, just emergency responses after slips and falls. Council has done nothing new in our area to effectively protect vulnerable parts of the shoreline. Meanwhile, we are witnessing increased intensity of damaging coastal events, especially along the exposed southern shorelines of Wattle Downs. Stronger winds and higher tides are consistently surging further into the unprotected areas and eroding them. Cliffs and trees are falling in. Council assets like stormwater discharge points are being exposed.

We urge Council to act on the existing coastal

Prior to amalgamation, Auckland Regional Council had already undertaken extensive research and begun to implement some effective protection based on that research. At some key areas there were even plans for further protection. For our area of Wattle Downs, these plans disappeared in the amalgamation into Auckland Council and coastal protection action has been absent for our area. In the 6 years since the framework was published, wave and wind impacts have become much stronger. Every time it is windy at high tide, waves surge onto the soft cliffs. Erosion and environmental damage is intensifying. Council can see the impacts but takes only very limited, reactive, short-term action like cleaning up when trees fall into the harbour and putting up warning tape when cliff collapse comes too close to the coastal walkway.

Wattle Downs Residents Association requests:

1. Sea-wall maintenance; Wattle Downs has old sea-walls protecting areas including the ends of Kauri Point peninsular and the eastern headland of St Annes beach. These have helped protect Council assets and houses for many years. These sea-walls are slowly being broken apart and urgently need maintenance.

2. Maintain existing assets and do not remove sea-walls. Generally, where there is housing or infrastructure depending on sea-walls for shoreline protection, there should be a policy that no asset removals be undertaken for any area of coast. Wattle Downs sea-walls need to be protected and maintained to reduce coastal erosion.

6. Protect our shoreline and coastal waters from pollution such as plastics and heavy metals coming in through stormwater runoff and from sediment. Each stormwater discharge point needs to be assessed for erosion protection and needs a way of catching particles of plastics, glass and rubbish. These discharge protection points need to be regularly maintained and the rubbish removed. Keeping the waters and the shoreline free from pollution and sediment will enhance the health of the waters, sea life and the quality of people’s experiences.

7. Regular cleaning of the roadside catch-pits has already meant that the heavier rubbish that used to flow into the stormwater system has largely been caught at the bottom of the catchpits before it can damage the stormwater pipes or pollute the shore line. Auckland Council is doing a good job of maintaining the frequency of clearing these catch-pits by employing reliable contractors. All are to be commended.

3. Wave dampening: There is also a more recently installed permeable rock structure protecting part of the shoreline adjacent to St Annes boat ramp. This rock structure and associated plantings have proved effective in absorbing a lot of the wave energy at high tides which would otherwise have greatly eroded the bank of the reserve behind. On either side of this protected area however, soft coastal edges are still being visibly eroded by wind driven wave action at high tide. We call for similar semi-permeable protective structures to be constructed in other areas experiencing high wave action to prevent damage to shorelines and infrastructure assets.

4. Minimise coastal erosion. The costs of repair and rebuilding would be far greater than the cost of planned maintenance and action in advance.

5. Maintain beach access and quality in Wattle Downs as in other areas such as St Annes beach with small sea-wall protecting soft stone of the cliff.

8. Sediment entering the harbour is a very different, unhappy story. Huge amounts of earth have been dug up in areas around Wattle Downs, often in property development processes. So much of this earth has been allowed to be washed into the coastal areas that there are now thick layers of mud covering over what was the floor of the harbour. Sea life has been smothered. In more sheltered parts of the Pahurehure Inlet like on the north side of Wattle Downs, long term residents observe that up to a metre of sediment has been deposited, completely changing the character and life of those parts of the Inlet. Council needs to take much more effective action to prevent sediment runoff if the shoreline is to be maintained.

Wattle Downs Residents Association calls for ongoing action from Council to support our shorelines. We support the creation of a new shoreline adaptation plan as a step towards effective action. We urge that any plan includes clear timeline milestones and robust measuring of outcomes.

Wattle Downs Little Library

There is a global movement called ‘Little Library’. This movement is to enhance the love for books and to encourage communities to share books with one another.

The cabinet for the Wattle Downs Little Library was built by ‘Real World Living’ in Papakura. This group provides and facilitates training and support services for people with disabilities.

The art work was designed and created by Lucy and Ruth Beale and this art is inspired by books they have read. On the back is an illustration from ‘Moby Dick’ by Herman Melville and ‘Whale Rider’ by Witi Ihimaera. The side is inspired by ‘Lord of the Rings’ written by J.R.R. Tolkien. The art on the top of the cabinet is a picture of Aslan from the book ‘The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe‘ by C.S. Lewis. There are also many other characters like, ‘The Cat in the Hat’, ‘Mr. Fox’, ‘Winnie the Pooh’, the ‘Cheshire Cat’ etc. The front of the cabinet has pictures of various book covers.

The top shelf of the ‘Little Library’ is for adult books and the bottom shelf is for children’s books. The ‘Little Library’ has been mounted at a height so that little children can explore the books inside.

The world of books is an important world as it allows our imaginations to flourish. Books do not need high powered visual effects because our imaginations can do this for us. Reading to our children and grandchildren is a big part of developing a common memory. If you are concerned about your children being fixated on electronic devices then the ‘Little Library’ is for you.

The ‘Little Library’ is free and is a place where you can take a book as well as leave a book so that others may also enjoy what is inside its covers.

It is my hope that in time I may have a bench placed beside the ‘Little Library’ so that people may have a place where they can sit and browse through the books given by their community.

Thank you to Mark Beale (Resident)
