Poraka SILNA o Port Adventure
Port Adventure SILNA block
Port Adventure Block is located on Rakiura.
In 2017 an article in Te Karaka , Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu’s on-line magazine, noted: While work is almost complete on identifying successors for the Hāwea-Wānaka block, minimal mahi has been done for the Toitoi block and almost nothing for the remaining two blocks.
This
vast area was split into numerous subdivisions as the investigation
proceeded, including the Okahukura, Tongariro, and Ruapehu blocks.
On 21 and 23 September 1887, on the application of representatives of
Ngāti Tūwharetoa, the Native Land Court partitioned the Tongariro No
1Block into Tongariro 1A, 1B and 1C, Ruapehu 1 into Ruapehu 1A and 1B,
and Ruapehu 2 into Ruapehu 2 into Ruapehu 2A and 2B.
COMBINED PARTITION
An owner or group of owners may benefit by combining their
interests, held in two neighbouring blocks, into one block. For
instance, they may own block A and also have an interest in
block B.
