Bay View, New Zealand

Bay View, previously known as Kai-arero and Petane, is a settlement in the Hawke's Bay region of the eastern North Island of New Zealand. It lies on State Highway 2, nine kilometres north of the city centre of Napier. The Esk River flows into the sea just to the north. Hawke's Bay Airport and the Napier suburb of Westshore lie just to the south. Bay View has been administered by the Napier City Council since the 1989 local government reforms. History In 1826, the Māori rangatira (chief) Tuakiaki ate the tongue of his brother-in-law Te Mautaranui of Ngāi Tūhoe, whom he had killed in revenge for an earlier murder, at Bay View. In memory of this event, the location was named Kai-arero ("eating of the tongue"). William Colenso of the Church Missionary Society established a mission outstation named Bethany near the mouth of the Esk River. Māori transliterated Bethany as Pētane and this became the name of the wider area. Pētane was seized by Māori in the early 1860s with the idea of attacking Napier. The name of the area was changed to Bay View in 1924 to avoid confusion with Petone in the Wellington region.

Bayfair Shopping Centre

Bayfair Shopping Centre, more commonly known as simply Bayfair, is one of the main shopping malls in Tauranga located in the suburb of Arataki. Bayfair is also known for being the first shopping mall built in Tauranga. Bayfair is owned by Fisher Funds Management, and is managed by Dexus. Location Bayfair Shopping Centre is located on the corner of Maunganui Road (State Highway 2) and Girven Road. The rear of the shopping centre backs onto Farm Road, and Jackson Street and Harris Street are located to the side of the building. It is across Maunganui Road from Omanu Golf Course, and across Girven Road from Baywave (a major aquatic complex). Facilities Bayfair has three anchor stores: Woolworths, Kmart and Farmers. Up until 2018, it was home to New Zealand’s only remaining Woolworths supermarket, which had retained the Australian Woolworths branding rather than rebranding to Countdown (like all other Foodtown and Woolworths stores) due to the presence of an existing Countdown store in Bayfair. In 2023, following a nationwide rebrand by the company, the store was officially renamed Woolworths once again. Farmers is the only part of the shopping centre (other than the carpark) to be on more than one floor. There is a large foodcourt with around a dozen food retailers. Development In December 2017, a $115 million redevelopment began on Bayfair. Included in the development was a new cinema with 1,300 seats, and a new Woolworths supermarket. Over 400 workers worked on the construction. The first stage of the redevelopment opened in December 2018. There were 30 new stores. The redevelopment was expected to end in 2019, which was expected to have 150 stores once finished. In May 2019, six new restaurants opened at Bayfair. Buses Buses stop outside bayfair on Farm Street. See also List of shopping centres in New Zealand References External links Bayfair Shopping Centre
Bayly Park

Bayly Park was a cricket ground and recreational reserve in Hāwera, Taranaki, New Zealand. Bayly Park was established in the 1890s beside Camberwell Road on land owned by a local sports identity, George Bayly, who wanted to provide sports facilities for Hāwera. He helped to develop it into the town's main sports venue, hosting cricket, football, tennis and cycling. First-class cricket was first played on Bayly Park in 1892 when Taranaki played Hawke's Bay. A further first-class match came in 1895 when Taranaki played the touring Fijians, and another first-class fixture followed against Hawke's Bay in 1897. The final first-class match played there came in 1898 when Taranaki played Canterbury. What was Bayly Park is now part of Hāwera High School, and functions as a part of the school's recreation areas.

Baypark Stadium

Baypark Stadium – wielofunkcyjny stadion znajdujący się w Mount Maunganui w Nowej Zelandii, służący przede wszystkim do rozgrywania meczów rugby union oraz zawodów motorowych. Inicjatorami budowy stadionu byli miejscowi entuzjaści sportów motorowych, których obiekt został zamknięty w 1995 roku robiąc miejsce pod zabudowę mieszkalną. Jego budowa rozpoczęła się w 2000 roku, a oficjalne otwarcie miało miejsce rok później. W 2006 roku za 5,5 miliona NZD zbudowano zadaszenie nad piętnastoma tysiącami miejsc, natomiast w roku 2011 po kosztującej 850 tysięcy NDZ rozbudowie pod dachem znalazły się pozostałe. Stadion posiada 17 500 stałych miejsc siedzących na krytych trybunach, a jego pojemność można w miarę potrzeby zwiększyć do 19 700 miejsc. W kompleksie znajdują się również boisko treningowe, hale sportowe, pomieszczenia dla mediów oraz centrum konferencyjne, infrastrukturę dopełnia parking na 4000 pojazdów. Jest siedzibą regionalnego związku rugby Bay of Plenty Rugby Union oraz jednym z dwóch, prócz Rotorua International Stadium, domowych obiektów występującego w National Provincial Championship zespołu Bay of Plenty. Okazjonalnie gości również spotkania Chiefs w rozgrywkach Super Rugby. Gliniasty tor do sportów motorowych ma 431 metrów długości, przy szerokości na prostych i na łukach odpowiednio 10 i 12 metrów. Włodarze obiektu planowali rozegranie na nim Grand Prix Nowej Zelandii na żużlu, jednak do zawodów nie doszło z powodów finansowych. W styczniu 2014 roku obiekt gościł pierwsze na świecie zawody motorówek rozegrane na stadionie. W celu ich przeprowadzenia wywieziono około 1800 metrów sześciennych ziemi.

Victoria House (Victoria University of Wellington)

Victoria House is a privately owned residential college of Victoria University of Wellington located in the city of Wellington in New Zealand. It is home to 182 undergraduates, typically first year students. Opened in 1907 as the Women Student's Hostel Society, Victoria House is the oldest hall of residence at Victoria University of Wellington, and the second hall of residence for women students in New Zealand. History In the early years of the twentieth century Margaret Wallis (the wife of the Bishop Frederic Wallis, Anglican Bishop of Wellington), Jean Gibb (wife of Rev Dr James Gibb, minister of St John's Presbyterian Church) and a group of other like-minded women recognised the need for a hostel for women who had come to Wellington to undertake study at Victoria University of Wellington and the Wellington Teachers' Training College. This group of women formed the Women Student's Hostel Society, and the outcome of their initial efforts was a two-storied wooden building at 282 the Terrace, which accommodated 29 residents. A kitchen, dining and sitting room, and accommodation for the matron - the person who ran the hostel - were included. Opened in 1907, this building is still part of Victoria House. Almost immediately the building was finished, the Society purchased the cottage next door (280 The Terrace), using it for additional accommodation. This was the first of many acquisitions of adjacent or nearby properties over the next century. In the mid-1950s, the original building was extensively refurbished and extended over the site of the adjacent cottage, providing a few additional rooms, and improved kitchen facilities, dining room and common room. Then in the early 1970s, a five-storeyed accommodation block – later called Wallis Wing – was built across the back of all the old houses the Society had acquired from 280 to 288 The Terrace. As before, the opportunity was taken to build a new kitchen and dining room to accommodate the greatly increased numbers of residents, and as a consequence the original hostel building was refurbished once again. Some of the old houses along The Terrace were subsequently removed to enable construction of the modern buildings now known as Pope House (opened in 1993), and the Bennett Houses. Most recently, 9 Maurice Terrace (behind Wallis Wing) was reconstructed as Hutchison House (2013). In 2014 seismic strengthening was undertaken of Wallis Wing and a progressive refurbishment programme for the building was started, the first stage of which was completed in early 2015.

Beca Group

Beca (officially Beca Group Limited) is one of the largest employee-owned professional services consultancy firms in the Asia-Pacific region. The company has more than 4,300 staff working across 25 offices around the globe, with headquarters located in Auckland, New Zealand. History Beca was founded in 1920 by Arthur Gray on his return to New Zealand after World War I, where he purchased an engineering practice that would later become Gray and Watts, then Gray Watts & Beca. A merger with Wellington firm Hollings & Ferner in 1968 formed Beca, Carter, Hollings & Ferner, with the firm eventually known simply as Beca. The company's name reflects the contribution of George Beca, CBE, DFC, D.Eng (Hon) (1921–2001), who joined the partnership of Gray and Watts in the early 1950s and led the firm for many years. Beca has had several name changes following amalgamations. Beca Steven existed from 1989 to 2001 after amalgamation of Beca Carter Hollings & Ferner with Steven Fitzmaurice & Partners. Earthquake Engineering Beca has a reputation in earthquake engineering. John Hollings (founding partner of Hollings & Ferner) is regarded as the 'father of capacity design', with his design for the Jerningham Apartment building in Wellington (completed in 1968) demonstrating the 'strong columns, weak beams' design philosophy that is the foundation for modern earthquake resilience in structures and features in almost all international seismic design codes. The company was the engineer for the world's first base isolated structure: the South Rangitikei Viaduct, a 78 metre high, 315 metres long concrete railway viaduct completed in 1981, where the piers can 'step' up to 13cm off their foundations under earthquake loads, dissipating the earthquake's energy without causing any major structural damage. More recently, Beca's seismic retrofit work has been recognised with major international structural engineering awards, including the retrospective base isolation of lift shafts at Victoria University of Wellington's Rankine Brown Library and seismic retrofit of 8 Willis Street, an office building in central Wellington.

Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children

Das Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children, in Maori Oranga Tamariki, ist ein Ministerium und Public Service Department (Behörde des öffentlichen Dienstes) in Neuseeland, das für das Wohlergehen der Kinder und Jugendlichen im Lande zuständig ist. Geschichte Der Vorläufer des Ministeriums war das Department of Child, Youth and Family Services (CYFS), das 1999 gegründet wurde und aus dem Children and Young Persons Service (CYPS) hervorging. Im April 2017 musste das Department dem neu gegründeten Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Oranga Tamariki weichen. Gesetzesgrundlage war seinerzeit der Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 und der Children’s and Young People’s Well-being Act 1989, die beide am 27. Mai 1989 verabschiedet wurden und zunächst das Kindeswohl durch das Ministry of Health (Gesundheitsministerium) gesichert haben wollte. Das Gesetz ist in seiner aktualisiert Form mit dem Stand von 14. Juli 2017 noch heute gültig. Bis 2016 wurden jedes Jahr rund 60.000 Kinder dem Department gemeldet. Von ihnen waren rund 4900 Kinder in spezieller Betreuung. Doch mit der Umgestaltung und Umbenennung der Behörde versuchte die Regierung der National Party unter Bill English die Zahl der Kinder, die betreut wurden, von 5453 im Jahr 2017 auf einige Hundert zu senken. Mit dem Regierungswechsel zur Labour Party unter der Premierministerin Jacinda Ardern wurde das Ministerium neu organisiert und in Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children umbenannt. Deren Untersuchungen förderten ans Licht, das im Zeitraum von April 2017 bis März 2018 insgesamt 13.966 Fälle von Kindesmisshandlungen aufgetreten sind, worauf die Sicherung des Kindeswohl zu einem Schwerpunkt der Regierung erklärt wurde.

The course is rated highly; it is ranked among the country's top 20 courses, and leading New Zealand golfer Greg Turner has described it as "the second best links course in New Zealand". The course has a par of 71, and measures some 5,700 metres (6,200 yd), with undulating terrain and the challenges of weather associated with links courses. Holes 8 to 14 are regarded as among the best in Otago, with impressive views across both the Pacific and the city's southern suburbs, and hole 9 ("Lawyer’s Head") is considered by many as the country's best golf hole. With both tee and cup on ocean promontories, a straight line between the two crosses open water. The club has some 500 members, and is served by a pro shop and clubhouse. The course is naturally sand drained, allowing it to remain open year-round. See also List of links golf courses References External links Official website
