In late 2006, New Zealand's biggest sound stage began construction at Henderson Valley Studios scheduled for completion in mid-2007. This sound stage is purpose built and bigger than that owned by Peter Jackson at his Stone St Studios complex in Wellington. The studios have been owned by Enterprise Waitakere, the business arm of the Waitakere City Council since 2002. It is because of studios such as Auckland Film Studios, South Pacific Pictures and Studio West, that West Auckland has been dubbed 'Westiewood'.

New Zealand School of Music

The New Zealand School of Music—Te Kōkī (NZSM) at Victoria University of Wellington is located in Wellington, New Zealand. It provides a tertiary teaching faculty with programmes in classical and jazz performance, music studies, composition, and sonic arts. It also provides the only postgraduate degree course in music therapy available in the country, and runs the Wai-te-ata Music Press, which produces CDs and sheet music editions of New Zealand compositions. History The school was originally established in 2006 as a joint venture between Victoria University of Wellington and Massey University. The te reo name Te Kōkī was chosen, which refers to the dawn chorus, New Zealand's unique birdsong contributed by many native species such as the tūī and korimako. The NZSM combined the strengths of the former Conservatorium of Music at Massey, which specialised in jazz performance and commercial music production, and Victoria University's School of Music, which specialised in art music performance, composition, and research. Established as a limited liability company with the two universities as equal shareholders, it was governed by a board of directors and shared buildings on Massey's Wallace Street campus in Mount Cook, and Victoria's School of Music in Kelburn. Professor Elizabeth Hudson was director of the NZSM from its launch until she stepped down in 2013. On 1 July 2014, the School transitioned to full ownership by Victoria University of Wellington, using the School of Music buildings on its Kelburn campus. Massey University retained and reorganised its former NZSM facilities into its School of Music and Screen Arts / Te Rewa o Puanga, offering courses in commercial and film music production. Euan Murdoch, Chief Executive of Chamber Music New Zealand, was appointed as the new director in 2015. In 2017, Sally Jane Norman was appointed as director. Professor Kim Cunio, formerly head of the School of Music at the Australian National University, became head of NZSM in 2024. With a full tertiary programme and full range of degrees, NZSM has strengths in historical research, allowing a representation of scholarly expertise across multiple fields including musicology, opera studies, jazz, ethnomusicology, music and film, baroque and classical performance practice, contemporary performance, music technology, and electronic music. Faculty and alumni Notable faculty of the NZSM include New Zealand composer John Psathas, soprano Jenny Wollerman, violinist Martin Riseley, and music therapist Daphne Rickson, who completed the first PhD in music therapy in New Zealand through the NZSM. Former faculty members include composers Ross Harris and Kenneth Young, soprano Margaret Medlyn, and jazz musician and band leader Rodger Fox. Notable alumni include composers Gareth Farr and Salina Fisher, members of the Drax Project, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra principal conductor Gemma New, and opera singers Simon O'Neill and Madeleine Pierard.

ICONZ

The Internet Company of New Zealand Limited (otherwise known as ICONZ) is a New Zealand hosting and Internet service provider (ISP), and was a pioneer in providing internet connections to residential New Zealanders. Since then, ICONZ has expanded its product offering considerably. It now offers a broad range of IT services. This includes connectivity, cloud, business continuity, security, voice, colocation and managed services. ICONZ's competitors include Spark, Orcon, Vodafone New Zealand (previously ihug), and Datacom, as well as several mid-sized vendors. ICONZ is now a part of the Webvisions Group of companies. History In 1992 ICONZ was founded as a small business by Chris Thorpe and Jon Clarke in Clarke's garage. By 1994 ICONZ had grown and was one of only two companies providing internet solutions to the Auckland and far north regions of New Zealand, with 18 dial-up lines and a 48K MDDS circuit. In 1995, ICONZ hosted auckland.nz.undernet.org IRC node setup, which was the significant step forward for New Zealand global communications. The Undernet is now one of the largest Internet Relay Chat (IRC) networks. ICONZ was acquired by AsiaOnLine in 1999 and moved from being a New Zealand-based ISP to a Pacific-based ISP. The branding was changed to AsiaOnline, and it was given a new look. It joined a multinational company scattered around the Pacific Rim, with offices in California, Hong Kong, The Philippines, China, South Korea, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. AsiaOnline went into liquidation in November 2001, and the New Zealand portion was sold to the Spencer family, who reinstated the ICONZ branding. Under the leadership of Michael Spencer, the operations acquired from AsiaOnline were merged with his existing ISP business, VISP and E3. The company centralised operations to ICONZ House in Airedale Street, Auckland. In 2003, ICONZ acquired New Plymouth-based WebFarm and Freeparking, leading shared-hosting providers in the New Zealand market. In 2005, ICONZ acquired 2day.com, a specialist Windows hosting company based in Auckland. In 2006, the Spencer Family made a significant investment in the Pan-Asian hoster Webvisions, headquartered in Singapore. In 2012, ICONZ completed a 100% acquisition of Webvisions and both companies operated as one entity, i.e. ICONZ-Webvisions Pte Ltd. On 1 September 2015 the NZ branch of ICONZ-Webvisions was re-branded to ICONZ Limited to separate itself from the Webvisions brand. On 1 February 2016 ICONZ was bought by the New Zealand-based company Plan-B. Plan-B work with New Zealand and international businesses to provide assurance that their data, infrastructure, and ability to work are protected from unexpected events.

Macmillan Brown Library

The Macmillan Brown Library (also known by its Māori name Te Puna Rakahau o Macmillan Brown) is a research library based in the New Zealand city of Christchurch. It is a library collection of national significance administered by the University of Canterbury. Overview The Macmillan Brown Library's collections consist mainly of items relating to Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. It holds over 100,000 published items, over 5,000 linear metres of archival collection (including documentary archives, photographs and architectural drawings), approximately 5,000 artworks, and rare book and modern fine print collections. Some notable items in its collections include copies of Māori Land Court Records, official and government documents from various Pacific Islands states, trade union records, and the personal papers of various Members of Parliament and government ministers. Three archival collections are listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World: The Tokyo War Crimes Trial Collection, the Armson Collins Architectural Drawing Collection and the Ursula Bethell Collection. Its art collection also has over 5,000 works, making it one of the largest collections in the Canterbury region, with a particular focus on Canterbury | Waitaha art and artists, particularly those who have taught or studied at the University of Canterbury. The Macmillan Brown Library was established in 1935 as a separate collection within the University of Canterbury Library. It was created through the philanthropy of Professor John Macmillan Brown, who was one of the first academics at the newly established Canterbury College in 1874, one of the constituent colleges of the University of New Zealand, which later became the University of Canterbury. In his will he allocated a large proportion of his fortune and his personal collections to the university for the formation of the library. The library is located within the university's Ilam campus on the second floor of the Te Ao Tūroa building. Memories of the World The Justice Erima Harvey Northcroft Tokyo War Crimes Trial Collection is an archival collection held at the library based on the personal papers of Sir Erima Harvey Northcroft, one of the eleven judges on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. It is notable because in 2009 it was included as one of three New Zealand entries on the UNESCO Memory of the World Aotearoa New Zealand Ngā Mahara o te Ao register. A comprehensive finding aid has been published. Most of the collection is in the form of bound volumes of news-print quality documents. In 2021, the personal and literary notes of Ursula Bethell, also held at the Macmillan Brown Library, were inscribed on the UNESCO New Zealand Memory of the World Register.

Tata Islands

Tata Islands are a pair of small uninhabited islands off the north coast of New Zealand's South Island. They are located some 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the northwest of Tākaka in the southeast of Golden Bay close to Abel Tasman Point, and are contained within Abel Tasman National Park. The small settlement of Tata Beach lies on the South Island mainland one kilometre to the south of the islands. Geography The islands are small, with the larger of the two, Motu Island (North Tata) being roughly 300 metres in length and 100 metres in width. It is roughly tabular in form, with much of its area being between 20 and 30 metres in height, rising to some 32 metres (105 ft) at its highest point. The southern island, Ngawhiti Island (South Tata), is roughly 160 by 120 metres in size, and, while less regular than its northern neighbour, rises to a similar altitude. Several small islets and stacks lie off the coast of Ngawhiti Island. The islands' most distinctive geographic feature is a large limestone stack at the southern end of Ngawhiti Island. Flora and fauna The waters around the islands are a significant fish nursery, and are also popular with kayakers. The area was proposed as a marine reserve in the 1990s, though this status was not granted. The islands themselves are the site of one of New Zealand's largest populations of spotted shag. History There is some evidence of pre-European Māori settlement on Ngawhiti Island, and its native flora may have been burnt back to allow for cultivation. Vegetation on Motu island is more diverse, suggesting that there was no similar burn-off there. The islands have historically provided deep water shelter for large ships visiting the Golden Bay area, the only site in the bay capable of providing such shelter. From about 1904, parts of Ngawhiti Island were mined for limestone, but in the first decade of the 20th century the government acquired the islands under the Public Works Act. For many years from the 1930s on, Ngawhiti Island was inhabited by a sole resident, Norwegian Peter Peterson, who was known locally as "The Hermit of South Tata Island". The island and its northern neighbour are now uninhabited. References
