    A community based funding model to conserve New Zealand's built heritage : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of M.Phil in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University
    (Massey University, 1997) Fill, Barbara
    This thesis examines the role of community groups in the conservation of New Zealand's built heritage through access to discretionary funding and professional conservation advice. It will be argued that the provision of funding and conservation advice to community groups by those agencies with a statutory responsibility for conserving New Zealand's built heritage is currently inadequate and that there is a clear role for a non-government funding agency to provide funding to community groups wishing to conserve buildings they have identified within their community. However, it will be contended that funding alone is not enough and that appropriate conservation advice is necessary if national and international conservation standards are to be met and buildings conserved for future generations. A review of the literature pertaining to the different concepts, values and significance of the built heritage ascribed to it by professionals and the community has been carried out. Legislation in New Zealand namely the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Historic Places Act 1993 has been examined and the roles of the central agencies under these two pieces of legislation have been identified. A number of community empowerment attributes are identified and are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the community based funding model developed by the Lottery Environment and Heritage Committee (a distribution committee of the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board), which provides funding to community groups for the conservation of historic buildings. A case study is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this process.

    He mahi whakamanakore : Destruction of indigenous heritage sites at Otuparae : a case study of the Otuparae headland development : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning, Massey University, Manawatu
    (Massey University, 2011) Simon, Hemopereki Hoani
    This thesis examines indigenous cultural heritage site destruction in Aotearoa, New Zealand. In particular, it examines what took place within a planning system to approve the destruction of the heritage site at Otuparae, near Taupo. This thesis seeks to identify what contributed to the decision to grant approval to developers without consultation with the local hapu, Ngati Rauhoto. The research is framed in a form of Kaupapa Maori Research (KMR) called whakawhanaungatanga. Analysis of critical ethnography, key actor interviews, participant observation, field notes in research journals, videos, and documents took place to gather data. A review of the colonial history of Ngati Tuwharetoa revealed that over time the Crown usurped the mana, power and sovereignty of Tuwharetoa. In doing so, the Crown left Tuwharetoa politically, socially, economically and culturally weak, forcing Tuwharetoa to enter into Crown-controlled and created legal and political frameworks. Additionally, the Crown instituted a governance model based on colonial thinking. This thesis contributes to the body of knowledge about the need to incorporate different worldviews into planning to achieve sustainable development. It does so by examining how the heritage protection frameworks, in particular the Historic Places Act 1993, the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and the associated Crown agencies failed to meet their obligations, by neglecting to consult with the correct group and to meet their needs in terms of heritage protection. It then moves to provide a development framework for Ngati Tuwharetoa to better contribute to decision-making processes in the future based on the needs of hapu.
