Palmerston North City Library

The Palmerston North City Library is the main public library provided by the Palmerston North City Council for the residents of Palmerston North, New Zealand. Purpose The Palmerston North City Library is branded as "The Living Room of the City" and exists "To inspire people to explore the pathways of the world – Te Ara Whanui o Te Ao". It serves the city through a variety of collections that include books, magazines, CDs, DVDs and electronic resources. It provides recreational and educational opportunities from an award-winning building located on The Square in the centre of the City, as well as four other branch libraries around the City. Facilities The Palmerston North City Library is located in The Square in the restored and extended C M Ross building. The design for the building was created by New Zealand architect Ian Athfield and was opened in 1996. The library operates from other service points including branches located in the suburbs of Highbury, Roslyn, Awapuni and Ashhurst as well as a Mobile Library Bus. History A library service in Palmerston North dates back to June 1876 with the provision of a reading room available to subscription members only. The fledgling service suffered various setbacks including a fire in 1885 which destroyed the entire collection. In 1894 the remainder of the library collections were transferred to the local Fire Brigade which had a members library open to public subscription. In 1900 the Council restarted a public library service with the opening of a public reading room. In 1938 the Council made the library service free to all city residents. The library has occupied a number of buildings over the years and the current central library is the 6th location, now occupying the former D.I.C. department store building. The former D.I.C. building was registered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (since renamed to Heritage New Zealand) on 2 July 1982 as a Category II heritage building with registration number 1256. In May 1995, Palmerston North Public Library became the first library in New Zealand to offer a self-checkout machine. References External links Palmerston North City Library website

Papatoetoe railway station

Papatoetoe railway station is on the Southern Line and Eastern Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. It is between Station Road and Shirley Road, across the street from Papatoetoe West School, and has an island platform layout. History Papatoetoe was originally called Papatoitoi, a corruption of its true name. The name was corrected in 1907, by the New Zealand Railways Department, because of the obvious discrepancy with the town it served, which has always been spelt as "Papatoetoe". The station was first opened in 1875, at a site near the modern-day Station Road bridge. In 1919, the station building was substantially extended. The station building was closed in 1987, and removed from the site in 1999. In 2005, the 1920 railway pedestrian bridge was moved from the site, becoming the Aerovista Footbridge along the Puhinui Creek in Wiri. Old station building The old station building, restored by the Papatoetoe Railway Station Preservation Trust, was moved to the corner of Station Road, Shirley Road, Tavern Lane & St George Street and repurposed into a café, opening on 31 October 2004. Parts of this building dated back to 1875. The old station is an integral part of the area's history, with Old Papatoetoe developing as a commercial centre. Timeline Services Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Britomart, Manukau, and Pukekohe via Papatoetoe. The typical weekday off-peak timetable is: 6 tph to Britomart, consisting of: 3 tph via Glen Innes (Eastern Line) 3 tph via Penrose and Newmarket (Southern Line) 3 tph to Manukau 3 tph to Pukekohe Bus routes 31, 36 and 313 serve Papatoetoe station.

Station Parnell

Station Parnell is een spoorwegstation in de Nieuw-Zeelandse stad Auckland. Het station werd geopend in 2017 en ligt tussen het stadsdeel Parnell en het park Auckland Domain. Het station werd voor het eerst voorgesteld in 2005 door ARTA, de voorloper van KiwiRail en Auckland Transport. Eind 2016 werd het historische stationsgebouw van Newmarket verplaatst naar dit station. In 2005 leek het erop dat dit stationsgebouw gesloopt zou gaan worden, vanwege een grote verbouwing van station Newmarket. Nadat diverse organisaties zich tegen de sloop hadden verzet, omdat het betreffende gebouw gebouwd is in 1908 en een van de vijf historische en nog bestaande stationsgebouwen in Auckland was, werd in 2006 besloten het te verplaatsen naar Parnell. Het oude stationsgebouw is opnieuw in gebruik genomen als stationsgebouw. Het station werd officieel geopend op 13 maart 2017. De eerste treinen stopten echter al een dag eerder op het station. In eerste instantie werd het station alleen bediend door de Zuidelijke Lijn en in de avonduren en in het weekend ook door de Westelijke Lijn. Sinds augustus 2018 stopt de Westelijke Lijn altijd op dit station. In 2022 en 2023 werd gebouwd aan een nieuwe voetgangerstunnel bij het station.

Parnell Rose Gardens

Dove-Myer Robinson Park, more commonly known as the Parnell Rose Garden, is a park in Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand. The park is named after Dove-Myer Robinson, the longest-serving mayor of Auckland, who served for 18 years. There are over 5,000 roses in the garden. Some of the plants in the garden have been bred by internationally celebrated rose breeders. The 'white garden' is a popular venue for weddings. As of 2010, the park was home to the oldest mānuka and the largest pōhutukawa tree in Auckland. Parnell Festival of Roses, takes place each November, with stalls and entertainment during the day. History The area was once known as Taurarua. It was included in the land made available by Ngati Whatua for the establishment of Auckland city in September 1840 . In around 1905, what is now the Luxerose cafe, was built for Emily Gillies, the widow of Robert Gillies, as a timber and shingle, Arts and Crafts style house, named "Kohanga". It is likely to have been designed by Charles Le Neve Arnold, the architect of Auckland Grammar School. In 1914 ratepayers voted by 815:575 for a £15,000 loan to buy 3.8 hectares (9+1⁄2 acres) for a park. In 1915 a court settled the price at £16,125. The Gillies residence was converted to a tea house in 1925. Also in 1925, a controversial stone entrance was built. Other additions include; The Netherlands War Memorial (1963), the Signals sculpture (1971), the Dove-Myer Robinson Lookout Shelter (1981) and the Nancy Steen Garden (1984). The gardens were renamed after the former mayor in 1981. The Nancy Steen Garden Her Excellency Lady Beattie opened the Nancy Steen Garden, a joint project by Heritage Roses New Zealand Inc. and Auckland Council, on 13 November 1984. The Nancy Steen Garden displays heritage roses to honour rosarian and artist Nancy Steen (1898 - 1986), who was born Agnes Acheson in Otautau on 22 September 1898. Nancy's family left Otautau in 1906. She attended Columba College in 1915 and 1916, and the Nancy Steen Memorial Garden was opened next to the Bishopscourt Boarding House in 2012. Nancy married David Harvey Steen at St. Luke's Church, Remuera, on 12 July 1927. Her daughters were born in 1930 and 1934. She grew roses at the family's home at 30 Upland Road, from 1944. Her book 'The Charm of Old Roses' was first published in 1966. The Floribunda blush pink 'Nancy Steen' rose was developed by George C. Sherwood in 1976. The fortieth anniversary of the Nancy Steen Garden was celebrated on 9 November 2024.

Pātea Dam

The Pātea Dam is a high compacted earth fill–type hydroelectric dam in Taranaki, New Zealand, constructed between 1980 and 1984. The dam is 82 metres (269 ft) high, and is the fourth highest dam in New Zealand. It was the first dam constructed using tertiary sandstone and siltstone as fill materials. The dam impounds the Pātea River and formed Lake Rotorangi, which is the longest man-made lake in New Zealand (46 kilometres (29 mi)). Pātea Hydro Electric Scheme The Pātea Hydro Electric Scheme was commissioned in May 1984 and was built for the Egmont Electric Power Board. After construction difficulties, wetter than normal weather had caused a six-month delay. Since 1999 it is owned and operated by Manawa Energy. With three 10.5 MW vertical Francis turbine generator sets and one 700 kW auxiliary generator, the scheme has a total capacity of 33 MW and an average annual output of 118 gigawatt-hours (420 TJ).
