Taradale High School

Taradale High School (Māori: Te Haikura o Otatara) is a co-educational secondary school situated in Taradale, a suburb of Napier in the Hawkes Bay region of New Zealand. It caters for years 9–13. The school has an attendance roll of approximately 1047 students as of November 2023. Facilities The school was originally constructed to the Nelson Two-Storey standard plan, like most New Zealand secondary schools built in the 1960s. The Nelson Two-Storey is distinguished by its two-storey H-shaped classroom blocks, with stairwells at each end of the block and a large ground floor toilet and cloak area on one side. History The school opened on 3 February 1970, although some of the buildings were not yet complete or painted, and the playing fields were bare earth with stones and rocks. The science class had no equipment, and the library was short of books. The opening ceremony was not held until 17 July 1970, and the Minister of Education, Brian Talboys, was unable to attend and a replacement speaker was hastily organised. Of the original ten staff members, four left during the first year. Despite these problems, the school presented a concert involving every class at the end of the second term, and a basketball marathon set an endurance record for the Guinness Book of Records. The school magazine, then called Teamhar Leabhar (Gaelic for The Book of Tara), published its first issue. The school grew rapidly over the next decade. B block was built in 1971–72 and C block in 1975. A mezzanine floor was added to the library in 1974, and the gymnasium opened in 1981. The roll increased to over 800 in 1976 and was then stable until 1984 when it increased to over 900. The school magazine become The Brooch in 1976. In 1975 the local community decided that the school should have its own Board of Governors in place of the Napier High Schools Board. The school gained the right to internally assess all School Certificate subjects from 1977. A connection with Tomakomai Commercial High School in Tomakomai, Hokkaidō, Japan, formed in 1979, with several Japanese students spending a year at Taradale. A second sister school relationship was formed with Samil Commercial High School in South Korea in 1993. The school celebrated its 25th anniversary with a reunion during Easter 1995. Taradale High School received unfavourable national attention when the head boy, deputy head boy, head of sport, and four fellow pupils anally gangraped an acquaintance with a broomstick coated with muscle relaxant during a party on the evening of 17 October 2001. Six of the students were convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to between 2 and 2.5 years imprisonment.

Tararua Forest Park

Der Tararua Forest Park ist ein unter Naturschutz stehender Wald in der Region Wellington auf der Nordinsel von Neuseeland. Der Park untersteht dem Department of Conservation. Geographie Der Tararua Forest Park erstreckt sich über die Berge der Tararua Range in einer Nordost-Südwest-Ausrichtung. Von nahezu Seelevel im Westen erheben sich die Berge des 116.535 Hektar großen Parks nach Osten auf bis zu einer maximalen Höhe von 1571 m. Der Park besitzt eine Längenausdehnung in Nordnordost-Südsüdwest-Richtung von ca. 85 km und misst an seiner breitesten Stelle in Ost-West-Richtung rund 25 km. Flankiert von den beiden Nationalstraßen New Zealand State Highway 1 im Westen und New Zealand State Highway 2 im Osten, endet der Park im Norden rund 15 km südliche von Palmerston North und wird im Süden ebenfalls von dem State Highway 2 begrenzt, der von Featherston kommend weiter nach Upper Hutt führt. Geschichte Ende 1930er Jahre kam die Idee auf, die Berglandschaft der Tararua Range als Nationalpark auszuweisen, um damit im Jahr 1940 den hundertsten Jahrestag der Unterzeichnung des Vertrags von Waitangi feiern zu können. Mit der Verabschiedung des National Parks Act 1952 kam die Idee erneut auf, wurde aber vom Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand und den lokal ansässigen Wandervereinen nicht vollständig unterstützt. Stattdessen wurde zwei Jahre später der Vorschlag des damaligen New Zealand Forest Service angenommen, dem Waldgebiet des Status eines Waldparks zu verleihen. Die Akzeptanz zu dem Vorschlag wurde dadurch erreicht, dass man für die Verwaltung und Betreuung des Waldes das Tararua Forest Park Advisory Committee gründete, dass über die Prioritäten von Maßnahmen entscheiden konnte. In den folgenden Jahren wurde das Wegenetz und die Zahl Hütten für Übernachtungen stetig ausgebaut und erweitert. Gleichzeitig nahm der Bestand des Rehwildes zu, was zu erheblichen Schäden im Wald führte. Anfang der 1970er Jahre entwickelte sich die Jagd auf den Wildbestand, sodass deren Population wieder eingedämmt werden konnte. Mit der Verabschiedung des Gesetzes des Conservation Act im Jahr 1987 wurde der Tararua Forest Park unter dem Abschnitt 19 des Gesetzes als Conservation Park ausgewiesen und fortan dem Department of Conservation unterstellt.

Tauhara Power Station

The Tauhara Power Station is a geothermal power station north of Taupō in New Zealand. Previously known as Tauhara 2, the project was developed by Contact Energy and Tauhara Moana Trust and opened in November 2024. At its peak it can produce up to 174 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 200,000 homes. Background Stage 1 of the wider Tauhara project is operational as the Te Huka Power Station. This is a 23 MW binary plant supplied with geothermal steam from the Tauhara field. Tauhara Stage 2 The application for resource consents for a 250 MW power station was submitted in February 2010. The Minister for the Environment determined that this project was one of national significance, and referred it to an independent Board of Inquiry. The resource consents were granted in December 2010. It was the first infrastructure project to be processed under the new Board of Inquiry process administered by the Environmental Protection Authority. In August 2019 Contact Energy began drilling four wells to further characterize the geothermal reservoir on the field and inform a final decision on whether to build a new power plant. The project was expected to cost around $580 million. In February 2021 Contact Energy announced that it planned to issue $400 million of new shares to raise capital to build the plant. Construction of the station began in March 2021 In February 2022 Contact announced that the completion date would be delayed to mid-2023, but that the output of the station would increase to 168 MW. In November 2023, the target for the station to be operational was pushed to the third quarter of 2024, with an output of 152 MW, rising to 174 MW later.

Pantano de Taupo

El pantano de Taupo (en inglés: Taupo swamp) es un humedal de agua dulce de aproximadamente 25 hectáreas (61,7 acres), clasificado como un pantano topógeno de tierras bajas. Se encuentra a unos 3 kilómetros al norte de Plimmerton y a 20 kilómetros al norte-noreste de Wellington, en Nueva Zelanda. Alberga una vegetación mayoritariamente autóctona, compuesta por juncos, lino de Nueva Zelanda (harakeke), helechos, arbustos, plantas herbáceas y diversas especies de gramíneas.​ El humedal puede observarse desde la carretera estatal 1 y desde la línea principal del ferrocarril de la Isla Norte A finales de 1800 se recogía lino del pantano y se procesaba en Foxton, actividad que continuó hasta mediados de 1900.​ Hay especies de plantas invasoras presentes que amenazan el pantano, como el agracejo de Darwin, la zarzamora, el tojo, la retama, el sauce llorón y la madreselva japonesa. Otra posible amenaza es el desarrollo urbanístico de terrenos cercanos. Se ha propuesto que los terrenos agrícolas cercanos se conviertan en viviendas. El resultado de esta urbanizaciónb puede causar un aumento en la acumulación de sedimentos durante la fase de construcción y un aumento de la escorrentía de aguas pluviales una vez que la construcción esté terminada.​ Véase también Pantano de Santa Fe Pantano de la Isla Honey Referencias

Tauranga Harbour Bridge

The Tauranga Harbour Bridge refers to two bridges (the original two lanes wide, and the new three lanes wide) that carry Te Awanui Drive over the Tauranga Harbour. Te Awanui Drive is part of an expressway that connects Tauranga CBD to Mount Maunganui. On the Tauranga CBD side, Te Awanui Drive connects to Takitimu Drive, which crosses the Chapel Street Viaduct before running along the edge of the Waikareao Estuary. On the Mount Maunganui side, Te Awanui Drive connects to Hewletts Road, which runs through an industrial area towards Maunganui Road. History The original bridge was opened on 13 March 1988 by former Mayor of Tauranga, Robert Arthur Owens. Prior to the opening of the bridge, traffic wishing to travel between Tauranga CBD and Mount Maunganui had to use the Hairini and Maungatapu bridges. The Tauranga Harbour Bridge was tolled from opening until 22 July 2001. The tollbooths were on the Mount Maunganui side of the bridge. As the population of Tauranga grew, the bridge began to get very congested during the peak hours. As part of the Harbour Link project (which also included the construction of the Chapel Street Viaduct, the widening of Hewletts Road, and the construction of the Hewletts Road Flyover), a new bridge was constructed next to the original. On 7 September 2009, the new bridge opened. The original bridge now carries traffic towards Tauranga CBD; the new bridge carries traffic towards Mount Maunganui. Causeway On the Mount Maunganui side of the bridge is a causeway which carries Te Awanui Drive and houses the Tauranga Bridge Marina. At the other end of the causeway, two parallel bridges, collectively known as Aerodrome Bridge, cross a small channel of water, and connect the causeway to Mount Maunganui. Until 2009, there was only one Aerodrome Bridge, and the road that ran along the causeway was only one lane each way. The road was widened and a second Aerodrome Bridge was built as part of the Harbour Link project. References

Taylor-Stace Cottage

Taylor-Stace Cottage, built in 1847, is the oldest surviving house of European origin in the Wellington region of New Zealand. The cottage is classified as a Category I historic place (a place of "special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value") by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. Taylor-Stace Cottage was built by immigrants William and Anne Taylor, who had come to New Zealand in 1840. The back portion of the cottage was completed in 1847 and was sold to Alfred Stace the following year. It's debated whether the front part of the cottage was built during the 1850s or in 1906 after the Stace family moved on. During the 1970s the cottage was used as a craft gallery, and in the 2000s it was an art gallery for a couple of years. In 2010 and 2011 combined funding and effort by the new owners, Porirua City Council and the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, saw the cottage restored and raised to protect it from flooding. Its current use is as a beauty salon. References External links Media related to Taylor-Stace House at Wikimedia Commons

Te Huka Power Station

The Te Huka Geothermal Power Station, also known as Tauhara One, is a 23 MW binary cycle geothermal power station situated near Taupō, New Zealand. The power station is operated by Contact Energy. In July 2008, Contact Energy announced that the contract for supply and construction of the binary cycle equipment was awarded to Ormat Technologies. The plant is powered with steam and fluid from the Tauhara steamfield, and all used geothermal fluid is reinjected back into the edge of the steamfield. A 33,000-volt line connects the power station to Transpower's Wairakei substation, injecting the station's electricity into both Unison's Taupō distribution network and the national grid. The Tauhara One plant was opened in May 2010, three weeks ahead of schedule. The power station was formerly known as Centennial Drive binary.
