Ngā Hau e Whā National Marae, Christchurch
Ngā Hau e Whā National Marae, Christchurch

Ngā Hau e Whā National Marae is a large marae in the Christchurch suburb of Bromley. The marae opened in May 1990 and is administered by Te Rūnanga o Ngā Maata Waka, a local pan-tribal Urban Māori authority. The site was set aside by the Christchurch City Council for use as a marae in 1977. The location was part of Cuthbert's Green park. The planned marae triggered 180 complaints from nearby residents, but the marae project went ahead. The site is immediately adjacent to the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant. Construction of the marae began in 1981. During the construction the project ran out of money, and ownership of the land was transferred to the New Zealand Government. One of the earliest installations at the marae was the carved entrance gateway, titled Te Amorangi, unveiled in late 1982. The carving depicts William Hobson and a Māori chief signing the Treaty of Waitangi, as a symbol of the coming-together of Pākehā and Māori. The lone chief is symbolic of the various Ngāi Tahu rangatira (chief) that signed the treaty on behalf of their iwi. The main wharenui of the marae is named Aoraki, in reference to the Māori creation myth of the South Island. It is the largest wharenui of its kind in New Zealand. The construction utilised local unemployed people as labourers, to give opportunities to the community. One of the wall carvings depicts explorer James Cook, to represent that Pākehā are also welcome. The marae was officially opened in 1990 during a ceremony by Minister of Māori Affairs Koro Wētere. In the aftermath of the 2010 Christchurch earthquake, the marae hosted 26 government agencies to make them accessible to the community. This included hosting a day-to-day criminal court, an initiative that was praised by the New Zealand Law Society. In 2018, a social housing facility opened on the grounds of the marae. The marae hosted a walk-in vaccination clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 a medical centre opened at the marae, providing low-cost access to general practitioners.

Dallington, New Zealand
Dallington, New Zealand

Dallington is a suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, on the north-east side of the city. It is bounded mainly by the Avon River, stretching in a circular area from the intersection of Gayhurst Road, Dallington Terrace and Locksley Avenue along to New Brighton Road, North Parade and Banks Avenue where it meets the intersection at the other end of Dallington Terrace and River Road. Its neighbouring suburbs are Burwood, Shirley, Richmond, and Avonside. It was originally named Dudley's Creek after a local farmer, John Dudley (1808–1861). Henry Jekyll (1844–1913) bought the farm about 1879, naming it Dallington after a Northamptonshire estate.On 4 September 2010, it was severely hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake, causing immense damage. Consequently, the St Paul's parish church and school which had suffered greatly from the effects of the quake, were forced to relocate their church services to the Marian College chapel and the students to the Catholic Cathedral College site, for the following couple of years estimated that it would take to rebuild. The college accommodated the entire primary school community of St Paul's School for a short time. But the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake (6.3 magnitude) caused far worse devastation to the city than the September 2010 earthquake. Large areas of Dallington were placed into a residential red zone, under which houses were acquired and demolished by the Crown. Parts of Catholic Cathedral College were under the unstable 400-ton dome of the Catholic Cathedral. Because the dome was in imminent danger of collapse, the college left the site and St Paul's School was moved to a site which the Minister of Education made available in Champion St.
