Baddeley's and Campbell's Beaches Wiki Page

[edit]
Moved from User talk:Prosperosity

Hello, I am a member of the B&C Beach Ratepayer's Association (BCRA) and we would like to update the Wiki page with some historic etc. information. As you appear to be the main contributor to this page would you prefer we send the information to you for consistency purposes or enter it directly ourselves which may mean editing your information? Perhaps you could let me know how to contact you and we can progress from there. Regards B&C Ratepayer's Association (talk) 00:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@B&C Ratepayer's Association: Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. Could I check what information you'd like to add, and where the information comes from? Any new information should come from a source (this could be something like a news article, book, council report, historic report, etc.).
I'd be happy to have a look over what information you'd like to add. The BCRA has a Conflict of Interest on the pages, but if another editor sees what changes you'd like to make, and agrees that these are relevant/encyclopedic changes, we shouldn't have any issues. --Prosperosity (talk) 02:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Thank you for the early response. I'd be happy to send you what we have which will also provided sources - how do I send you these word documents? As to CoI, I understand the point and it seems a long bow to draw as all we are wanting to do is promulgate information about B&C beaches to our community i.e. we are not seeking percuniary gain etc. Anyway, look forward to your response.

Draft

[edit]

The B&C Ratepayer's Association provided an unpublished report by Ngaire Wallen - I've reworded the report, adapted the content to the style typical of Wikipedia locality pages, and added some additional sources where available:

Geography

[edit]

Baddeleys Beach and Campbells Beach are located on the southern Tāwharanui Peninsula, in the Rodney District of the Auckland Region.[1] Both settlements are found next to Millon Bay, a bay within the wider Kawau Bay area of the Hauraki Gulf.[2] The Millon Bay area is primarily formed from Waitemata Group sandstone, with the modern bay being formed at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, when the sea level rose approximately 130 m (430 ft) to current levels between 13,000 and 6,000 years ago.[3][4]

History

[edit]

Māori history

[edit]

The mana whenua of the Baddeleys Beach-Campbells Beach area are Ngāti Manuhiri. The Moekākara migratory waka arrived in New Zealand at Te Waka Tuwhenua near Goat Island / Te Hāwere-a-Maki. Ngāti Manuhiri descend from the people of the Moekākara who settled in the area, Te Kawerau people of the Auckland Region who descent from the Tainui waka, and from Ngātiwai of Northland.[5] In the mid-17th century, the warrior Maki migrated from the Kāwhia Harbour to his ancestral home in the Auckland Region. Maki conquered and unified many of the Tāmaki Māori tribes, including Ngāi Tāhuhu who lived in the Baddeleys Beach-Campbells Beach area.[6][7][8][7] Maki's sons Manuhiri and Maraeariki settled in the area, with Ngāti Raupō (descending from Maraeariki) focusing life on the Tāwharanui Peninsula, while Ngāti Manuhiri settled the Whangateau Harbour north to Pākiri.[9]

By the mid-1700s, Marutūāhu tribes from the Hauraki Gulf, especially Ngāti Pāoa, sought to control the shark fishery located on the Mahurangi coast, between Kawau Island and the Whangaparāoa Peninsula.[8] War broke out between Ngāti Pāoa and the Kawerau hapū,[8] which included a major battle at Te Ngaere (Christian Bay), adjacent to Millon Bay.[10] By the early 19th century, Kawerau-descended hapū held exclusive land rights to the Mahurangi, while fishing rights were shared between these hapū and the Marutūāhu tribes.[8]

During the Musket Wars of the 1820s the majority of Ngāti Manuhiri fled the area, returning in the 1830s.[10]

Early colonial period

[edit]

In 1839, members of Ngāti Pāoa told the Te Pau block to European settlers Thomas Millon and James Skelton, an area of approximately 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) that included Baddeleys Beach-Campbells Beach.[10] After the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, private land purchases were reviewed by the Crown, leaving Millon with an area of 2,560 acres (1,040 ha), and eventually alienating Ngāti Manuhiri from their traditional lands in the area. In 1841, the Crown undertook the Mahurangi Purchase, which involved all land on the eastern coast between Takapuna and Te Ārai.[11] The wider Matakana area saw over forty European families settle in the 1860s, developing the area into farmland.[10]

Coastal community development

[edit]

Baddeleys Beach and Campbells Beach developed as residential communities in 1958, at a time when many beachfront areas in the wider Auckland Region were being developed as subdivisions and holiday settlements.[12][13] A second surge in residential housing development began in the mid-1990s.[14]
