and Waddell Points as well as Pencarrow and Baring Heads). This was done without consultation with or compensation to Taranaki Whānui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika. 2.14 Parts of these public reserves were reallocated by way of grants in the Town Belt for Wellington Hospital and other public purposes, including the land that became the site of the Governor-General’s residence and grounds after 1911. In March 1873, 1,061 acres in the Town Belt were granted to the Wellington City in trust forever as a public recreation ground.” The Deed of Settlement and the related legislation set out a number of settlement mechanisms that are relevant to parts of the Town Belt: Right of first refusal (RFR): The right of first refusal relates to land held in fee simple by the Crown or a Crown body. If the Crown wished to dispose of the land it must be firstly offered to the Trustees of the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust. The Crown holds land that was in the Town Belt and which the Council may seek to return to the Town Belt. The right of first refusal mechanism would apply to that land. Cultural redress: The Deed of Settlement outlines various instruments to provide cultural redress. These instruments extend from the transfer of the fee simple of various Crown properties for which there is a direct connection with the claimants to areas where a statutory acknowledgement applies. There are no settlement properties in the Deed of Settlement for Taranaki Whānui and there are no statutory acknowledgement lands within the current Town Belt. Town Belt and the Settlement: The bulk of the Town Belt is held in trust with Wellington City Council as trustee. Such land, for Treaty of Waitangi purposes, is generally regarded as private land that has not been available for the settlement of Treaty claims. There appears to be some change to this policy from the current settlements process, however for the Port Nicholson Block settlement these matters have been settled. Recognition of Te Atiawa/Taranaki Whānui in the Town Belt today: Some signs exist to indicate sites of significance to Māori, such as Akatarewa Pā. More signs and interpretation would help people to understand the use of the areas before colonisation. Planting on the Town Belt can help to provide better recognition of these sites. Groves of trees, such as totara, rata and others, could extend across areas that were pā sites, however avoiding any remaining archaeology if that can be identified. Some of the old garden sites may be marked by turning them into grasslands or similar scrublands and providing some interpretation. Ngāti Toa Rangatira’s Treaty Claim Ngāti Toa Rangatira are in the final stages of negotiating their treaty redress package. Part of the redress seeks to acknowledge and compensate Ngati Toa Rangatira for their exclusion from the Port Nicholson Block reserves (known as the ‘tenths’) which includes the Town Belt Area. . The 2003 Te Whanganui ā Tara me ōna Takiwā Report reaffirms and recognises the right of take raupatu of Ngati Toa Rangatira within the Port Nicholson Block, including the Town Belt area.
