Awatoto is a coastal suburb area within the city of Napier, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. It stretches along the coast south of Te Awa and the central city. The northern part of Awatoto is residential, while the southern part is industrial, including heavy industry.

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "stream for hauling canoes" for Awatōtō. [3]

Awatoto had a population of 309 at the 2013 New Zealand census, a decrease of 48 people since the 2006 census. There were 153 males and 156 females. [4] 83.2% were European/Pākehā, 23.2% were Māori, 1.1% were Pacific peoples and 4.2% were Asian. [5]

History

Ngāti Kahungunu occupied the area prior to colonisation. [6] Waitangi Mission Station was set up on the north bank of the Ngaruroro River for the Church Missionary Society by William Colenso in 1844. [7] [8] Awatoto was included in the sale of the 265,000 acres (107,000 ha) Ahuriri Block for £1,500 on 17 November 1851. [9] A soap works was set up in 1883. [10] It burnt down in 1910 [11] and 1915 [12] [13] and was flooded in 1917. [14] Settlement of the area dates from the late 1800s, although population was minimal until the post-war years. Meeanee developed as a small settlement in the 1940s and 1950s, servicing the surrounding dairy farms. The population increased from the mid-1990s, a result of new dwellings being added to the area. [15]

Railway station

Awatoto railway station was near Awatoto Road, [16] opened on 20 June 1884. [17] In 1880 authority was sought for £45 to be spent building a station and platform at Awatoto. [18] It was a flag station, on the first 18.8 km (11.7 mi) section of the Palmerston North–Gisborne Line, which opened on 12 October 1874, from Napier to Hastings. [19] The line was built by international contractors John Brogden and Sons. They organised the first train carrying passengers from Napier to Waitangi on Tuesday 30 June 1874. [20]

By 1896 Awatoto had a shelter shed, platform, cart approach and a passing loop for 18 wagons, extended to 23 in 1898, 45 in 1911 and 100 in 1954. In 1914 it became a tablet station and a railway house was built for the tablet man. In 1972 a new crossing loop was built nearer Waitangi bridge. On 31 January 1982 Awatoto closed to goods, except in wagon loads, [18] and to passengers. It closed completely on 22 September 1986. [17] Only a single track now runs through the former station site. [21]

Geography

Awatoto is on a flood plain, [23] separated from the Pacific Ocean by a shingle spit, [24] just north of where the Clive, Ngaruroro and Tutaekuri River estuaries meet Hawke Bay. Until the 1931 earthquake the Tutaekuri flowed north to Ahuriri Lagoon, [25] but a diversion was built from 1934. [26] The Heretaunga Plains Flood Control Scheme, with stop banking, pumps and gravel and river mouth management, helps control floodwaters, but they can still reach the underside of bridges, requiring closures. [27]

Awatoto is some 5 km (3.1 mi) south of the Napier city centre at 39°S 176°E, on the coast of Hawke's Bay. State Highway 51 (until 1 August 2019 it was SH2) passes through Awatoto, along the coastline between Napier and Hastings. [28] A cycleway opened from Bluff Hill to Awatoto in 2004. [29] It was extended south in 2016, [30] over a 300 m (980 ft) long x 2.3 m (7 ft 7 in) wide, 145 tonne, steel, clip-on bridge. [31]

The coast at Awatoto is mostly used for fishing. Water activities take place at the Awatoto river mouth just south of the industrial area.

Waitangi bridges

Both road and railway cross the river estuary. The rail bridge is 293 m (961 ft) long, [32] originally built in 1873. [33] From about 1861 [34] a road ran along the beach, with a punt to cross the estuary. [35] Following sea erosion of the beach, [36] a new bridge was built in 1865. [37] Undermined piles closed the bridge in 1867. [38] It was rebuilt in 1897. [39] The bridge was closed for a fortnight in 1905, [40] when temporary [41] piles gave way under a traction engine. [42] Spans washed out in a 1918 flood. [43] It collapsed under 2 trucks in 1928. [44] Four piers were undermined [45] in May 1938, [46] closing the bridge until September. [47]

In February 2023 the rail bridge at Awatoto was wiped out by Cyclone Gabrielle. [48]

Waitangi Regional Park

Waitangi Regional Park covers about 300 ha (740 acres) and extends about 5 km (3.1 mi) along the coast between Awatoto and Haumoana. The area is home to several species of seabirds and water fowl such as herons, spoonbills, godwits, and gannets. [49] A 6 ha (15 acres) wetland was created in 2009, and in 2015 an adjacent 15 ha (37 acres) wetland was re-established, also providing a habitat for native fish species. [50]

In 2017, the Ātea a Rangi star compass was installed just north of the bridge over the Ngaruroro River. The circle of carved wooden posts (pou) represents the points of the compass and symbolises the navigational skills of ancient Pacific Island explorers who navigated the oceans to arrive here and settle in the area. [49] The celestial compass is also used to pass the art of Whakatere waka (traditional navigation) to new generations. [51]

Industry

Just to the north of the wetland is the largest superphosphate factory in the country, producing around 250,000 tonnes a year. It began in 1953 on 16 ha (40 acres) and was bought by Ravensdown in 1987. It is Napier port’s largest importer. [52] Rinse water from a boiler water treatment plant is discharged into the estuary. In 2020 aluminium, cadmium, copper, chromium, zinc, fluoride, nitrate and nickel levels in the drain were above ANZECC (2000) trigger levels. [53]

UEB Industries, parent company of Bremworth Carpet, built a woolen yarn spinning factory at Awatoto in 1967. [54] It is now operated by Bremworth.

Napier's wastewater plant is at Awatoto, with treated wastewater discharged into Hawke Bay through a 1.5 km (0.9 mi) outfall pipe. The plant and outfall were opened in 1973, replacing the previous outfall at Ahuriri. Originally a comminutor station, the plant was upgraded with milliscreens in 1991, and with biological trickling filters in 2014. It takes sewage from most of Napier, but not residential Awatoto nor nearby Meeanee. [55]

Paua Fresh Ltd had an paua (abalone) farm at Awatoto. The facility produced 6,000 kg annually. It sold live abalone throughout New Zealand, and supplied frozen product on request. [56] The operation ceased in about 2011 and the building it used burnt down in 2014. [57]

Awatoto is the site of water extraction and bottling. [58]

Demographics

Awatoto is in five SA1 statistical areas, which cover 4.11 km2 (1.59 sq mi). [1] The SA1 areas are part of the Meeanee-Awatoto statistical area. [59]

For two years it briefly flourished as a village, centred on a railway station on the Palmerston North–Gisborne line, opened on 25 January 1878, when it became the southern terminus of the line from Napier and Spit. Building to the south was delayed by the need to erect 3 large viaducts over the Manawatū River and its tributaries, so the extension to Makotuku didn't open until 9 August 1880. Kopua then declined until the station closed on 8 May 1977. Only a single line now passes through the station site and there are remnants of cattle yards.
