Ināianei he taone a Porirua i te pikinga, engari mo tētahi wā, kua whakahokia tōna tupunga. I muri iho i ngā tau o ngā whakawhitinga maiorooro me ngā whakahohenga siloed, ka iti haere te Kaunihera Taone o Porirua i runga i te tika o te pūkenga tōrunga. Na te whiu i ngā kitenga tawhito me te mamae i te kore kotahitanga i waenganui i ngā rawa o waho ake me ngā rawa kaunihera, he tuakiri pūkenga tō Porirua, ā, kaore he kitenga uaua mo ta rātau e hiahia ana.
Kaore he āhuatanga mārama o wai a Porirua, he aha rānei i tū ai. Nā te mea e utu ana ngā tangata i ētahi o ngā mokatere teitei rawa o te whenua, kua tīmata tēnei kore ōritetanga ki te waiho i te ngahau kawa. I hiahiatia e te taone to rātau parani hai kōrero i tētahi mea; he pūrākau kia hoki mai te katoa.
I eke mātau ki tētahi tukanga uaua, ā-kiritaki e whakauru ana ki ngā tāngata maha: ngā tangata whenua, ngā rōpū hapori, ngā umanga paetata, te iwi, ngā kaikaunihera taone me ngā manuhiri tūpono ki te huaki i ngā mea i ahurei ai a Porirua.
Kotahi te taone, kotahi te whakatata
E hiahiatia ana e nga wahi o waho ake o Porirua hai whakakotahi i roto i te kōrero takitahi. I hiahiatia e te taone he pūkenga matua kotahi – he mea nui ake i te kaunihera anake.
Nāu te whiwhi
I whakaaturia e nga toamahi he āhuatanga pōhiri tino pōhiri i waenganui i te iwi o Porirua, a, ka noho ko ia te kaitiaki o te parani hou.
Te Porirua POV
Ko te whakaahua parani e tuku ana i tētahi whakamātau tūturu o te wheako o te Taone o Porirua, e hopuhopu ana i te wairua pōhiri o te ringa tuatahi o nga tangata whenua.
Tautuhi ana i te oro
I ia wā e whakawhiti kōrero ana te Kaunihera Taone o Porirua, he wā hai whakaaro. Ko te āhua o te reo tākaro me te kōrerorero he āwhina ki te whakarite he pai.
Kei te mau tahi mai i ngā takahanga
I whakatūria he kāhua e mōhiotia ana hei āwhina ki te whakakotahi i tētahi maramataka takahanga e whakamaua ana e te kaunihera.
Ko te huarahi i hangaia hei whakakotahi me te whāwhā
He nui te tūranga o te tohu ki te hoatu i tētahi taone he tuakiri. Mō Porirua, he tino nui te wā e pōhiritia ai e ngā manuhiri, kia kite ai ngā tangata whenua i te kaunihera uara, me te whakakotahi i ngā wae pakihi ā-roto me ngā kāinga rerekē, o waho ake rānei puta noa i te taone.
Kōrero Porirua
Ehara i te nui o ngā pukapuka me ngā pukapuka pukapuka hei whakatoko i a Porirua, ka whakakotahitia katoatia rātau e mātau ki roto i tētahi tānga ia hauwhā e pupuri ana i ngā manuhiri me ngā tangata whenua ki ngā tāwhara hou, tino nui hoki me ngā mea hei mahi i te taone tere e tipu ana.
ā mātou rangatū ataata Porirua
I ia wāhanga ka haere mai tētahi rohe Porirua ki o rātau wāhi makau. E whakaata tahi ana rātau i te rerenga kētanga o nga tangata o Porirua, a, ka whakakite i te āhua pōhiri o te taone i te tuatahi.
"He nui nga pūkenga me te mahi a te Auaha Auaha me te tīma. I whakauru whānui rātau ki te iwi whānui, ki te whakawhanake i tētahi ariā uho mārō, ehara i te mea ko te parani anake, engari he maha ētahi atu kaupapa tae atu ki o tātau uara rangatōpū. He hihiri, he tino māia te parani, ā, ko te mea nui rawa e whakaata ana ko wai tātau."
