Land information NZ (LINZ)
have approached Wellington
City Council over the proposed
disposal of the Devon Street
gully land adjacent to Te Aro
school.
The vegetated gully was the focus of the
Te Aro community during consultation
on the Town Belt Management Plan. It
turns out the land has been on the dispos-
al list for some years. This explains why
the school were not aware of the process
currently being run through by LINZ.
The Town Belt Management Plan
(Policy 8.3.2.2) notes that WCC will
initiate discussions over the future of
this land which is former Town Belt.
The Council is currently researching the
Town Belt land reinvestigated
An independent town planning
report on the character of
Taitville, the area around
Entrance, lower Norway,
Irvine and Thule Streets, has
concluded that the area should
not be included under the Aro
Valleys pre-1930s Demolition
Rule, controlling development.
The assessment was requested by AVCC
Co-chair Roland Sapsford as part of the
submission he made (as an individual) on
the District Plan. Sapsford suggested that
both Landcross Street and the Taitville
area should be covered by the Aro Valley
pre-1930s Demolition Rule.
Four AVCC members, J o Brien,
J adwyn Lowe, Madeleine Rashbrooke
and J ulia Stace, met with the reports
author Morten Gjerde and WCCs Alison
Newbold last month to discuss the report.
The group argued that the area, at the
bottom of Raroa Road, was developed
at the same period and visually forms a
characteristic part of the Aro Valley.
The council argued that the pre-
1930s Demolition Rule shouldnt be
applied too widely as it inhibits housing
development, and the WCC needs to be
able to defend its position if challenged.
Following earlier discussions with
the Council about Landcross Street, it
was determined that only the Devon
Street facing side of Landcross Street
would also be included in the Aro Valley
designation.
The District Plan, which is reviewed
every 10 years, is due to be ratied on 31
J uly.
Report excludes
Taitville from Aro
Valley designation
Entrance and Norway Street:
Not part of Aro Valley?
history of the land, which the Crown also
attempted to dispose of in the 1990s but
WCC objected and the land was removed
from sale. The land was taken from the
Town Belt in 1932 for a school and no
record exists of the Crown compensating
the city. The Councils position in
the 90s was that the land should be
returned to Town Belt.
City Councillor and Environment
Portfolio leader Helene Ritchie
says: Once we have researched the
background fully we will prepare a
paper for Environment Committee
recommending the next steps. In the
meantime we have advised LINZ the
Council does have an interest in the land.

Signicant Trees at the Aro
Street bus terminus part 1
Story and photo by Julia Stace
Although we dont have any
protected Heritage trees in Aro
Valley, we do have a cluster of
interesting trees at the top of Aro
Street.
At the entrance to Polhill Reserve,
on the freshly planted slope above the
community garden and orchard, are two
trees, a native kawaka or Libocedrus
plumosa and a dawn redwood or
Metasequioa glyptostroboides. On the
opposite
side of the
road, by 206
Aro St, is a
cluster of four
more dawn
redwoods. A
little further
on, in cages
on the grassy
slope at the
start of Raroa
Rd, are 11
specimen ash
trees, Fraxinus
excelsior.
All these
trees were
planted in the
1990s, chosen
for reasons
now obscured
by time.
They have
thrived and
become well
established.
Nowadays we
prefer to see
appropriate
native trees
planted in the
Valley and
School holiday
programme could
go
The time may have come to wrap
up the Valleys school holiday
programme, as numbers remain
low, community co-ordinator
Kelvin Aris says.
Aris said the issue should be debated by
the new AVCC committee elected at this
months annual general meeting and by
the wider Aro community.
Numbers have been low on the school
holiday programme for some time now,
and at the time of writing in late J une,
just ve children had signed up for J ulys
programme.
Aris said other community centre co-
ordinators from around the city had told
him to just get rid of it if community
support for the programme was not there.
Maybe its time to wrap the programme
up, he said.
AVCC co-chair Roland Sapsford said
he would ag it at the AGM as an issue
for the community to debate.
The velvety black buds of the ash are distinctive in winter
catchment.
However, after
the Aro Valley
Restoration
Project
representatives
met with
Amber Bill,
Open Spaces
and Parks
Manager, and
Marlies Laser,
Tree Team
Customer
Liaison, from
the Wellington
City Council,
we all agreed
that these are
now all signicant, amenity trees.
The twelfth cage is empty, this ash
having not survived. The WCC staff
offered to plant a northern rata (PB 95
thats big) this winter. In principle this
roadside space should remain open, as it
provides a spot of sun for students whose
houses may be in the gloom of Aro
Valley all winter. There is room enough
for 1-2 more locally sourced natives to
be planted annually, over the next few
years.
The species of ash in the other 11 cages
is a deciduous tree from Europe, growing
naturally from Britain to Turkey. The
pale, tough timber is sought after for
oars, tool handles and bentwood chairs.
In spring, insignicant ower clusters
emerge from striking velvety black buds.
The feathery foliage is distinctive; 9-11
leaets make up the leaves, which are
30cm long and turn yellow in autumn.
They should grow into trees 15-18m high
with a broad, umbrella-shaped crown.
The cages are protecting them from
accidental damage when the WCC mows
the lawn. Although the ash do set seed,
they are not expected to become weedy
here.
Ash were brought to New Zealand
in 1904 as an ornamental tree. There
is one ash of this species on the citys
heritage list of trees, in Newman Terrace,
Thorndon.
In future issues of the Valley Voice I
will write about a bit more about the
kawaka and the extraordinary living
fossils, the dawn redwoods.
More Terrace elms removed
Three elm trees leaning over the
road and one large limb at 358-
370 The Terrace were, at time of
writing, to be removed by WCC Tree
Maintenance on 16 July.

Dear Sir
Good news, bad news. But it is not too
late.
The good news is that new trees have
been added to Aro Park.
The bad news being the trees selected
are not appropriate for this urban park.
The Rata and Tawa have a growth
reach of 25m. Tawa have a particularly
dense canopy. Imagine an 8 story
building in the park.
Context is all important. Aro Parks
autumn, winter, spring early light and
drying warmth comes from the north-
east quarter. In time the new tree
canopy will completely block morning
sunlight and warmth. Aro Park will
remain cool and damp like a forest
oor.
But it is not to late to substitute
this deep shadow for a light semi-
deciduous canopy. Take out the Hinau,
Rata and Tawa and plant in their stead
bird feeding, seasonally colourful
modest sized and endemic Kowhai.
David McGill
PS: Forest trees (Tawa, Rata and
Hinau) best planted in an emerging
forest like Polhill Gully.
Martins AGM Priorities
Dear Community,
I would like to see the following in Aro
Valley, and am standing for the AVCC
Committee in the hope I can contribute
and work towards these (unfortunately
Im away for the AGM).
Community noticeboards, murals,
stage in park, power in park, BBQs in
park, outdoor bike tools, market days,
bikes day, lm nights, Neighbours
Day street meals and parties, helping
neighbours scheme, rainwater &
emergency water tanks, Old Mans
Beard removal, slow trafc to 30km,
tidy Aro St/Valley, Community Trade
website, household waste & plastic
reduction scheme, sh & chip oil bio-
diesel, housing co-op, small business
workstations in the empty community
centre small room, post-boxes (the
latter two would produce income for
AVCC).
Plus, training for the AVCC Committee
in: being a good employer, meeting
facilitation, use of consensus method,
and holding regular open discussion
forums for our members (participatory
democracy).
I think communities can do many
things for ourselves. We dont have to
ask or wait for governments to do it all
for us. Our Community Coordinators
have organised some wonderful
activities. Others have contributed,
such as GWRC, Film Archives,
historians, authors. I think the actual
AVCC Committee could, and should,
do more for community development
than merely reacting to planning and
trafc proposals.

Palmer Street Cross
Hatching Update
Local real estate agent Canadian
Bob Tesan has been lobbying the
Wellington City Council and NZTA to
paint cross-hatch markings on Willis
Street to enable vehicles exiting
Palmer Street. Heres an update:
Hi Max and Tim,
I just thought Id give you a bit of
an update on the proposal to City
Council; I presented them with 23
completed surveys last week which
overwhelmingly supported the idea
of cross hatching being added at the
entrance of Palmer Street.
I called WCC this morning and had
a chat with Steve Spence, he is the
city councils chief transport planner.
Mr Spence was very informative and
happy to
update me
on their
progress.
The nal
decision
has NOT
been made
yet but he
did tell me
that trafc
consultants
have done
some
preliminary
trafc
studies
at the
New trees good news?
corner, and at present they arent too
concerned with the congestion many
of us are experiencing while exiting
Palmer street.
He did say though that while
investigating the trafc ow they
discovered that there seems to
be a slight issue with the existing
computer/monitor system which is
built into many WCC intersections.
They believe an adjustment to that
monitoring system may help with
our congestion situation. It was
enlightening to talk to Mr Spence
and to know WCC doesnt take
these requests lightly. I dont envy
their role in sorting Wellingtons
ever-changing trafc issues, but do
appreciate the time they have taken so
far to help the Palmer Street residents
nd a solution.
Bob Tesan

Walk down memory lane
Greetings Aro Valley.
And what a fantastic Valley you have!
A couple of months ago my friend
and I came down from Wairarapa to a
meeting at your community Centre.
We left our car at the centre and
walked to the top of Aro Street, where
I used to live, late seventies early
eighties. My Auntie God rest her
cotton socks lived at 194 Aro Street.
I loved living in that street, I used to
walk to Wellington East Girls College,
or catch bus up the top end. We used
to pick Blackberries up in the bushes,
dont know if you still can.
So every time we head down to
Welly, we always head up to Aro
Valley. Maybe we will one day knock
on the door of 194 and meet up and
take a walk down that back path. I
know my aunt used to have a fantastic
vege garden out the back. So good
job, Aro Valley its looking great.
Cheers Sue Dyer

Good news
for Devon
Street gully
Iona Pannett
Lambton Ward councillor
Well, a little bit of good news to
start off with: a government agency
has approached the city council to
see whether we would be interested
in acquiring the land next to Te Aro
School for Town Belt purposes. Given
the feedback from the community about
the importance of this land, I would like
to see it returned. We are doing some
background work on the issue and I will
keep you posted on progress.
I am waiting somewhat nervously at
the time of writing for the release of the
Board of Inquiry report on the Basin
Reserve yover. A no to this project
would most likely put a stop for now
at least to plans for two tunnels at the
Terrace and Mt Victoria, which would be
a very good outcome.
On another transport issue, I am very
disappointed by the regional councils
decision to get rid of the trolleys that
service the Aro Valley so well, amongst
other places. No cast-iron guarantees
have been put in place to ensure we
get a more environmentally friendly
alternative, and my big concern is that
we will just end up with more diesels.
Lets hope the regional council will do
the right thing.
Hope you are all warm and hope to
see you at my Caffeine Clinic on the 27th
J uly, 3pm at Aro Caf.

with Lambton Ward councillor Iona
Pannett.
Its cold outside but itll be warm inside
the lovely Aro Caf, and theres no
excuse not to join in, as Pannett will be
picking up the tab.
Whether your issue is the number of
rubbish bins in Aro Valley or how we
ght climate change as a city, you can
come and have a chat about how to x
these issues. The city council is starting
to write its budget for the next three
years, so get in early and have your say.
A second opportunity to be hosted
by Iona will take place at the Southern
Cross Caf on Sunday 3 August at 3pm.

Local has vision
for amazing
birdlife
The hills above the Aro Valley are lled
with exceptional birdlife and work is
underway to make sure more residents
can appreciate them.
Brooklyn resident Marc Slade has been
organising birdcounts and pest traps on
the slopes running up to Brooklyn, in
Polhill Gully and above Holloway Road
all the way up to George Denton Park in
Highbury.
The pests are a fairly standard mix
of rats, hedgehogs and the occasional
weasel, Slade says, but are numerous
enough to be a concern. There are also
possums, despite hopes they had been
largely eradicated by trapping.
It is the birdlife, however, that really
has him excited. The amazing variety
includes stitchbirds and kaka, who have
been seen nesting in George Denton
Park. These are really incredible birds
that we are lucky to see so close to
town.
The bush itself is fairly average, but
Slade has a broader restoration vision.
Slade said the project would not involve
trapping feral cats, as that was a hot
topic at the moment we are not even
going to go there.
Slade recently received $1,000 from
the city council which the AVCC will
umbrella to save him administrative
hassles. That money will go towards
more monitoring and trapping work.
Along with birdlife, the Valley has
eels, sh and freshwater craysh in its
streams, Slade said, further emphasising
the variety of wildlife. Eventually he
would like to lobby the council to get rid
of the grates on the streams and create
sh ladders to ease their path along the
stream.
Treasurer Wanted!
The AVCC Committee is looking
for a new Treasurer:
understanding nancial
governance
able to provide help with
budgets and grant applications
computer literate
accounting experience
desirable
If that sounds like you, the AVCC
would love to hear from you:
community@arovalley.org.nz or
come to the meeting on 23rd July.
NEWS AND VI EWS FROM AROUND THE VALLEY J ULY 2014 5
Over the past months, on
Wednesday afternoons, people
have been coming to the Aro
Community Centre to sing
together, not formally like a
choir, but in a relaxed, friendly
and facilitative style.
This is one of several daytime singing
groups based in different Wellington
suburbs in a project called Sing for Your
Life, which is managed by Community
Music J unction.
The intention is to promote enjoyment,
good feelings and well-being for all ages
through group singing, but participants
also learn about developing their vocal
skills, musical timing and ways to
improvise harmonies. The songs are
carefully chosen to be suitable and
uplifting and to appeal to a wide range
of interests, with a trend towards popular
and folk songs from many of the worlds
cultures. People come to Sing for Your
Life for lots of different reasons but
there is a strong common understanding
that there are numerous benets, both
Valley Voices in Harmony
personal and social, deriving from this
shared participation in a meaningful
music activity.
I love to sing, it makes me
happy. I walk home singing,
never mind the strange
looks I get; I am getting to know my
community, says one participant. It
helps reduce the stress and helps me
reect. I nd myself singing the songs in
between, they just ring in my head, says
another.
The Aro group is facilitated by Sidarth
Pagad, a Music Therapy masters student
at the New Zealand School of Music.
Sid accompanies the songs with guitar
and percussion and brings a gentle
nurturing quality to the learning and
singing of songs. If you would like to
come along for a sing, the group meets
every Wednesday in school terms from
1.15 to 2.45. The suggested donation is
$5 each time.

Kai o te Aro
I just came home from a
stunning morning in the Secret
Garden what a beautiful
weekend we had! The sun
came out and so did numerous
community gardeners.
Its amazing what a dozen pairs of hands
can do in a few hours on a sunny day to
bring a garden into tip top shape.
In the Secret Garden at the moment we
have:
lots of greens growing
a thriving herb garden
about 6 new artichoke plants
separated from the existing artichoke
clump
rhubarb for the best winter desserts
re-piled compost heaps warming up
nicely
and lots of nasturtium, with berries
ready to be made into poor mans
capers, which I highly recommend
(google the recipe theyre easy to
make, delicious and much cheaper
than buying a tiny jar of capers from
the shop!)
J udging by the photo, were all heads
down working hard, but actually there
was a lot of laughter and in-depth
conversation. I even learnt the basics of
pruning roses from a fellow gardener,
discussed the possibilities of time
travel, learnt some interesting facts
about pregnancy, chatted about our
experiments with making fermented
foods, and investigated the best tramping
tracks in Wellington.
Late in J uly well be gaining a few new
fruit trees for our community orchard,
with the vision of an abundance of
apricots, lemons and
feijoas for passers-by
in the years to come.
