Maori Act 1993 on behalf of the beneficial owners of the Arapaoanui 3E block are requesting a

pricing for the boundary fencing of their newly established Nga Whenua Rahui Kawenata.

Arapaoanui 3E is situated 40km north of Napier at the end of Arapaonui Road. Of the 66.4Ha

belonging to Arapaoanui 3E approximately 42ha is being placed into the Whenua Rahui Kawenata.

As part of this Deed for the Nga Whenua Rahui Kawenata Arapaoanui 3E Trust under Schedule A,

conditions section 1: The trust is required to use its best endeavours to not permit stock to graze the

land or pass though the land.

It is also the Trusts intention to enhance the natural character of the land with particular regard to

the indigenous flora and fauna. They are going to commence planting the Nga Whenua Rahui

Kawenata in autumn 2012 with desirable indigenous trees.

The area also has a very high feral goat population and this will have a bearing on the quality of

fencing required.

Fencing Specification:

As mentioned in the preamble the Trust is going to commence planting of indigenous trees within

the Nga Whenua Rahui Kawenata in the autumn of 2012. Because of this planting programme the

fencing is to be completed by 30 March 2012.

Due to the high feral goat population in the area and their notoriously difficult nature with fences,

the fencing requirements have been designed to give maximum protection:

Material requirement:

Standard nine wire high tensile fence with posts at 4m intervals.

Bottom wire to be no higher than 8cm off the ground or a barb wire can be used on uneven

ground.

Battens are to be at one metre spacing’s.

All stays are to be kept internal to restrict goat access to the block by this method. For

corners over 180 degrees of inside angle this will have to be done by means of back ties.

Allowance for 2 steel 12ft gates hung.

Site preparation:

The project site is a mix of rolling to steep terrain consisting of variation of river stilt to limestone

based faces.

Some areas of the fence will require bush cutting to gain access however any tree trimming is to be

keep to a minimum keep in accordance the principals of the Nga Whenua Rau Hui. This area is

established along the southern boundary consisting

of regenerated Manuka and Kanuka. The length of

this is assessed at 130m. Refer to figure 1 and the

attached map.
