Report Written By

Part of Huriawa wahi tapu area is listed in the Dunedin District Plan Operative 21 April 2009. The reference is Site No.A001 in Table 25.2. Archaeological Sites Registered by NZHPT Otago Regional Council has listed the coastal marine area of this wahi tapu area in Schedule 2 of the (2001) Operative Regional Plan: Coast for Otago as a Coastal Protection Area (CPA9) identified for its cultural and spiritual values to Kai Tahu. Note that the extent of registration within the coastal marine area reflects the mapping of CPA9 for the sake of efficiency and consistency with an existing cultural heritage identification and protection mechanism that is in alignment with the wahi tapu definition and provisions of the HPA 1993 Huriawa wahi tapu area includes three land parcels that are subject to the Reserves Act: Lot 2 DP323509 (CT94479), Otago Land District is recreation reserve, Dunedin City Council. (NZ Gazette 2006, page 2980); Section 24 Block VI Hawksbury SD (CT 255215) Otago Land District is local purpose reserve (coastal protection), Dunedin City Council. (NZ Gazette 2006, page 3258); and the major land area of this wahi tapu area is part of a former historic reserve (NZ Gazette 1983, page 2918).The historic reserve status was revoked and replaced by a protected private land (PPL) agreement when the land was returned to Ngai Tahu ownership under the Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998. In accordance with the PPL, the portion of Huriawa owned by Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu is subject to the Reserves Act 1977 (NZ Gazette 1998, page 4413). The protected private land agreement for Huriawa outlines the co-management relationship between Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu and the Department of Conservation. Under the agreement, Huriawa is protected for cultural values including wahi tapu and mahika kai, conservation values, indigenous flora and fauna values and landscape values. Public access to Huriawa is guaranteed unless it is temporarily closed for safety, cultural or management considerations with the agreement of Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu and the Department of Conservation. Please note that entry on the New Zealand Heritage List/Rarangi Korero identifies only the heritage values of the property concerned, and should not be construed as advice on the state of the property, or as a comment of its soundness or safety, including in regard to earthquake risk, safety in the event of fire, or insanitary conditions.
