Page 82.0 CONTEXTHISTORICAL CONTEXT - WAITOHI

Waitohi (Picton) was initially settled by Te Ātiawa, migrating from Taranaki. The natural features that drew Te Ātiawa to the site were likely to have included the sheltered location, fresh water from nearby streams & rivers, an abundance of kaimoana & natural resources in the adjacent lagoons and bays, and the ability to construct a settlement on the low rise of land, adjacent to the harbour edge. The location of the original Waitohi pa and village are in close proximity to the current and proposed Terminal buildings.

The name ‘Waitohi’ originates from wai, or water, and tohi - which refers to the tohi ritual, in which the tohunga dipped karamu branches in the sacred stream and brushed the right shoulder of warriors before battle.

Early paintings from this time show partially forested hills, and a long calm water body, with a fortifi ed pa sitting on the low headlead that extends out into Picton Harbour, orientated towards the east, and a gently sloping beach.

Page 92.0 CONTEXTHISTORICAL CONTEXT - WHARFS & EDGES

Original wharf structures in Picton where constructed off London Quay, close to High Street and the adjacent hotels and warehouses. Picton developed as a hub for coastal shipping, to service the nearby agricultural hinterland on the plains around Blenheim. The development of coastal shipping was linked with that of the railways, used to transport goods and produce from Picton, over the Elevation and down the valley through Koromiko, to Blenheim.

During the early 1900’s construction progressed on a Waitohi wharf to the west of Picton, to service coastal shipping, and passenger ferries, with photos from the era showing reclamation extending from the original alignment of Auckland Street.

The Wellington/Picton passenger ferry service, which started in 1875, originally by the Union Steamship company, continued uintil 1962. At this point in time, the Railways department took over the delivery of transport, and with the development of vehicle capable ferrys with ‘roll on/roll off ’ infrastructure, wharf and terminal improvements continued to be made. Wharf structures and additional reclamation where progressively added around the Waitohi wharf location, with additional reclamation and shore edge ship infrastructure developed along the west shore edge, and recreational/ commercial fi nger wharfs closer to Picton Foreshore.

Page 102.0 CONTEXTHISTORICAL CONTEXT - RAIL

The railway line connecting Picton to Blenheim was started in 1872 and completed in 1875. The progress of construction of the ‘Main Trunk Line’ was slow throughout the 1880’s, but government land reform enabled construction to progress southwards to Riverlands and Seddon in the early 1900’s. The opening of the Picton freezing works in early 1900 created demand for reliable transport links. Construction work on the railway was halted in WW1, and did not recommence until 1928. Construction was slow through the Great Depression. The fi nal section of construction between Christchurch (Addington) and Picton was completed and the full railway line was opened at Kaikoura at the end of 1945.

Page 113.0 FORM & ARTICULATIONTERMINAL BUILDING - CONCEPT IDEAS

The following are the conceptual ideas developed as part of the concept design process for the new Interislander Waitohi/Picton Ferry Terminal building;

Reference local marine edge structures, geometry, and the concept of ‘ūranga’ or landing place

Utilise public space to link harbour edge to proposed Terminal & beyond to Picton

Celebrate marine & industrial craft & materials

Acknowledge local history, culture & legend

Orientate the proposed Terminal axis to historic wharf alignment

Enhance public engagement with water’s edge

Acknowledge historical location of Waitohi Pa

Acknowledge Waitohi River location & quality Locate primary spaces

relative to celebrated viewpoints

Create a great Terminal forecourt & harbour edge landscape

Respond to local topography
