Tamaterau Reserve, or is it Devonshire Park?

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Do you recognise this place? What do you call it?

Tamaterau beach and reserve has a rich cultural history dating back 700 - 800 years. In 1928 it was named Tamaterau Domain before being classified as a recreation reserve in 1953 and renamed as Tamaterau Domain Recreation Reserve.

Do you recognise this place? What do you call it?

Tamaterau beach and reserve has a rich cultural history dating back 700 - 800 years. In 1928 it was named Tamaterau Domain before being classified as a recreation reserve in 1953 and renamed as Tamaterau Domain Recreation Reserve.

In 1980, its name was formally changed to "Devonshire Park" in recognition of Charlie Devonshire, a local teacher who played a role in ecologically restoring the reserve.

Some members of the community and representatives of the local hapū have now requested it be renamed as "Te Whenua Tāpui o Tamaterau", which translates to Tamaterau Reserve.

They feel the reference of Devonshire in the current name does not reflect the long history of the area, as it highlights only one person's contribution over a short period of time.

The new Council will consider the name change after the election - please send your feedback through this link by 4:00pm on Tuesday 18 October 2022.

Newspaper delivery opportunities – Whangarei
🗞🗞🗞🗞🗞

Okay, let’s start at the beginning…times have changed, and nobody is going to ask you to hop on your bike or walk the streets delivering newspapers!! It’s done in the comfort of your car and you will be paid a decent car allowance

If you are an early riser, this is a good opportunity to earn some good money in a role that you’ll get full training and where you pick up your newspapers and run sheet/addresses each morning and off you go!

The job is varied and good fun - many of the folk who are delivering newspapers have worked in the role for over 10 years and are themselves 50 plus. You are your own boss, delivering to the same route daily.

If interested, please call or text Jesse on 0278609520
