Tui mine

The Tui mine is an abandoned mine on the western slopes of Mount Te Aroha in the Kaimai Range of New Zealand. It was considered to be the most contaminated site in the country, following the cleanup of the former Fruitgrowers Chemical Company site at Māpua, Nelson. History Tui mine was in production by 1881. An aerial ropeway on 12 towers was built in 1889. A road was built in 1950, when the mine was said to be above 1,650 ft (500 m) sea level. In the 1960s, the Tui mine extracted copper, lead and zinc sulphides, but had a problem with them being contaminated with mercury. The mine was abandoned in 1973, after the mining company Norpac Mining went bankrupt. The machinery was sold to the Mineral Resources (NZ) mine at Waihi, but waste, rock ore dumps and mine tailings were left behind. The tailings have significant amounts of zinc and cadmium. The mine tailings are stored behind a dam in a large pool-like area which has an oxidised, solid surface layer. The dam contains over 100,000 cubic metres of very acidic, sulphide-rich tailings. In 1997, there had been no natural plant recolonisation on the tailings for more than 20 years. Environmental issues Waikato University had identified the problem of heavy metals contaminating water by 1984. The tailings dam was considered to be unstable and is leaching various minerals, including heavy metals, into neighbouring waterways and this adversely affected the stream ecology. According to Environment Waikato, the Tui mine had three major environmental impacts; The heavy metals lead and cadmium were leaching from the tailings dam into the Tunakohoia stream, which flows through land managed by the Department of Conservation and through the centre of the town of Te Aroha. Four years after the mine closed, the Te Aroha town water supply was found to be contaminated with heavy metals leaching from the tailings. The separate Tui catchment was also contaminated with heavy metals from the tailings dam. The abandoned mine tailings dam in the Tui catchment was at risk of collapsing in a moderate seismic event or an extreme weather event. That could have caused 90,000 cubic metres of mine waste to liquefy and to flow down the Tui stream near to Te Aroha. Remediation In 2007, the New Zealand Government announced that $9.88 million will be made available to clean up the site with the work scheduled to be completed by 2010. In April 2010 it was reported that the estimated cost of the clean-up would be $17.4 million and in 2011 a sum of $16.2 million was allocated to the cleanup with most of the funding from central government. Remediation of the mine site was completed in 2013, at a total cost of $21.7 million. See also Mining in New Zealand Environmental issues in New Zealand References
Tunnel Beach

Tunnel Beach is a locality 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) southwest of the city centre of Dunedin, New Zealand. Located just south of St Clair, Tunnel Beach has sea-carved sandstone cliffs, rock arches and caves. The beach's claim to fame is the man-made tunnel dug by local politician John Cargill, son of Captain William Cargill, who had commissioned for his family in the 1870s. Urban legend states that one or more of Cargill's daughters drowned while swimming at the beach, but there is no truth to this story. The tunnel itself is rough-hewn, and still shows the marks of the hand working which created it. Originally a simple slope, concrete steps were added when it was opened to the public in 1983. Access to the beach is via the DOC Reserve, and is open year-round, excluding a flood in October 2024 which forced the beach to close until November 2025. The track is a popular walking excursion. It descends from 150 metres (490 ft) above sea level at its start, a short distance off Blackhead Road, winding for some 1200 metres to the top of the tunnel close to a natural sea arch. The tunnel descends 72 steps to the beach, and is dimly naturally lit. Note that the path down is steep and can be very slippery following wet weather. Safety Swimming is not recommended at Tunnel Beach due to a rip that makes it dangerous. People have had to be rescued after getting into trouble on the track and in the water. References

It has since been incorporated into the college's official logo, merchandise and flags. History Historically, University College's South Tower housed males while the North Tower housed females. However, both towers today are unisex, with students sharing all facilities including bathrooms and showers. Highlights throughout the year include orientation week, formal dinners, ski trips, the ball, floor missions. In early October 2019, a fire in the South Tower and the resulting water damage from the sprinkler system led to the evacuation of 60 Otago University students, who had to sleep with friends or at the university library. Due to water damage, the second, first, ground, and lower-ground floors had been evacuated. Wardens D. F. Symon, 1969–1985 P. I. C. Rennie, 1986–1992 C. P. M.

University Oval (Dunedin)

Das University Oval ist ein Cricketstadion im Logan Park in Dunedin, Neuseeland. Das Cricketfeld befindet sich auf dem Universitätsgelände der University of Otago, welches namensgebend für das Cricketfeld war. Der Logan Park wurde zwischen 1913 und 1920 erbaut und dient neben Cricket auch als Trainings- und Austragungsstätte für Fußball- und Rugbybegegnungen. Das Stadion ist Austragungsort für internationale Test Matches und One-Day Internationals. Kapazität & Infrastruktur Das Oval ist kein klassisches Cricketstadion. Es besitzt nur einen großen Grandstand mit Sitzplätzen. Ansonst wird das Cricketfeld nur von Grasflächen umrandet. Dies lädt viele Studenten und Familien zum Zuschauen und Picknicken ein. Regulär besitzt das Stadion eine Kapazität von 3.500 Plätzen, die jedoch mit temporären Erweiterungen auf 6.000 erhöht werden kann. Die beiden Ends heißen Northern End und Southern End. Internationales Cricket Internationales Cricket fand im University Oval erst statt, nachdem das bisherige Test-Cricket Stadion in Dunedin, Carisbrook zum Abriss vorgesehen war. Der erste Test von Neuseeland wurde an dieser Stelle im Januar 2008 gegen die Cricket-Nationalmannschaft von Bangladesch ausgetragen. Seit 2010 werden hier auch ODIs ausgetragen, das erste ebenfalls gegen Bangladesch. Beim Cricket World Cup 2015 wurden hier drei Vorrundenspiele ausgetragen. Beim Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022 wurden hier ebenfalls Partien ausgetragen. Nationales Cricket Das Stadion ist das Heimstätte für das Cricketteam von Otago.

University of Otago, Christchurch

The University of Otago, Christchurch is one of seven component schools that make up the University of Otago Division of Health Sciences. The University of Otago, Christchurch is based primarily at Christchurch Hospital, in Christchurch Central City, and works in partnership with the Canterbury District Health Board. It has over 1,000 medical and postgraduate students on campus. All University of Otago medical students who gain entry after the competitive Health Sciences First Year programme, or who gain entry via alternative admissions pathways, spend their second and third years studying at Otago Medical School in Dunedin. In their fourth, fifth, and sixth years, medical students can either continue to study in Dunedin, or at the Christchurch or Wellington campuses. History Starting in 1924, students could complete their last year of training at hospitals in either Auckland, Christchurch, or Wellington as well as Dunedin. In 1938, branch faculties were established in Christchurch, Auckland, and Wellington. The Christchurch branch faculty became a clinical medical school in 1973, the forerunner to the University of Otago, Christchurch. The inaugural dean was George Rolleston. Professor David Murdoch was Dean of the University of Otago, Christchurch from 2016 to 2021, when he was appointed Vice-Chancellor of the University of Otago. Professor Suzanne Pitama, the first Māori female Dean of any University of Otago medical campus, was appointed Dean in 2021. In 2022, construction started on a new campus on Oxford Terrace/Tuam Street in the city centre. It is expected to be a medical school and construction is scheduled to be complete in April 2026. It is a six-storey building that will hold four floors of clinical research facilities, laboratories and teaching facilities. In 2024, the new campus (under construction) was named "Wai-Ora" in recognition of Ngāi Tahu and the water of the nearby Avon River / Ōtākaro.

University of Otago College of Education

The University of Otago College of Education is a teacher-training facility that is part of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. It was formed on 1 January 2007 through a merger of the University of Otago's Faculty of Education with the Dunedin College of Education. The College of Education's main campus is in Dunedin but it has a satellite campus in Invercargill. Location The University of Otago College of Education operates from its own campus close to, but not contiguous with, the main university campus, opposite Logan Park in Dunedin North. Between them, the University of Otago, Dunedin College of Education, Otago Polytechnic, Otago School of Medicine, and Otago School of Dentistry form one large extended campus which covers some 80 hectares of Dunedin North. The college shares some facilities with the polytechnic, which lies immediately to its northwest. The college's location in Dunedin is significant, as that city has long had a history of education pioneering in New Zealand, with the country's first university, first medical school, first kindergarten, and first single-sex high school for girls. History The College of Education's predecessor was the Dunedin College of Education, which was founded in 1876 and is the oldest teacher training facility in New Zealand. The University of Otago began providing teacher training courses in 1905. In 1976, the University of Otago and the College of Education introduced a joint Bachelor of Education (BEd) programme which included jointly taught BA and BEd courses. This co-operation continued until tertiary education reforms of the mid 1990s, after which the university offered its own B.Ed. degree course. In 2002, the Dunedin College of Education and the University of Otago entered into talks to merge the two institutions to avoid the duplication of teaching courses and programs. In August 2006, the Tertiary Education Minister Michael Cullen formally approved the merger of the two educational institutions, stating that it would come into effect in January 2007. As a result of these changes, the newly formed University of Otago College of Education acquired the former assets of the Dunedin College of Education including its Dunedin and Invercargill campuses and the Robertson Library, which is shared with Otago Polytechnic.

Upper Harbour Bridge

The Upper Harbour Bridge (also called the Greenhithe Bridge) is a motorway bridge in west Auckland, New Zealand. It is technically two bridges, spanning the Upper Waitematā Harbour, and connecting Hobsonville (in West Auckland) and Greenhithe (on the North Shore). It is an important connection for State Highway 18, and became even more important as a component of the Western Ring Route when the route was completed on 2 July 2017. History The original bridge was built in November 1975. Its capacity proved insufficient for later traffic demands of more than 27,000 vehicles per day (soon to be up to 35,000 vehicles per day with the completion of the motorway works) and a duplicate bridge was constructed next to it. The new bridge was designed and engineered by Beca, and built between 2005–2006 by Fletcher Construction using self-compacting concrete. The new bridge cost NZ$35 million and provides a 524 m-long (1,719 ft), 16.5 m-wide (54 ft), 10-span crossing. This was designed to match the existing 457 m-long (1,499 ft) 7-span cantilever bridge aesthetically. The bridges provide three lanes toward Greenhithe (an uphill gradient) and two lanes downhill. Prior to the first stage of the Upper Harbour Motorway opening, Transit NZ closed off the old bridge to make repairs, especially to reduce a sagging effect due to old tensioning cables. With the opening of the motorway on 6 December 2007 all bridge lanes were open. The new bridge also provides a cycle-way and walkway on the north side. The bridge project, together with the causeway widening, has received a Silver Award from the Association of Consulting Engineers New Zealand. The original bridge was in 1986 used by A. J. Hackett for the first jumps testing the equipment for what was to eventually become the world's first commercial bungee jumping company. References
