We are currently exhibiting the work that we have been doing in LAND411/2024 course at Worser Bay Lifesaving Club (251 Marine Parade, Seatoun, Wellington). This project has been a fantastic experience. We have been working with many individuals and representatives from more than 20 local community groups, as well as with mana whenua (indigenous people who have historic and territorial rights over the land). We have engaged with them through a series of site visits, lectures, workshops and reviews. The project advocates for the protection and restoration of this exceptional land by proposing an Ecosanctuary and Heritage reserve. Mātai Moana has a rich history as the former site of a Māori settlement, military emplacements, two historic prisons, and a strategic ecological value due to its location in Wellington harbour. It is mostly public land but it has no specific legal protection. As a consequence, it has been at the centre of recent controversy around how it should be transformed. This project aims to contribute to that discussion by proposing an inclusive design process, where different voices and interests have been considered. Designs have been grounded on site knowledge, Mātauranga Māori and community aspirations, considering community efforts as part of a 30-50 years restoration project. Public identity and sense of belonging aim to be achieved through engagement with biodiversity and cultural heritage, integrating into the reserve physically existing heritage, but also removed heritage, intangible heritage, and memories. The feedback received during the exhibitions will be used to develop a final consensus design while facilitating a deliberative process within the local community and mana whenua. This consensus design will go on public display during spring 2024, with the aim to inform the legal process towards land protection and the gradual transformation of the area. In case that you are interested but cannot attend, get a glimpse of the exhibition here ( https://lnkd.in/gigAGpcm ), or watch this video of the different designs ( https://lnkd.in/gVpQAtn2 ). If you are in Wellington, come along this weekend! Saturday 22nd of June from 13.00-16.00 and Sunday 23rd of June from 11.00-16.00.
