In 2019 it will be 250 years since Captain James Cook arrived in NZ. Planning is underway by a number of Trusts throughout the country which have been established for the purpose of commemorating the anniversary with bicultural events and legacy creation.
Te Au Mārie 1769 Sestercentennial Charitable Trust (TAMSCT) is based in the Bay of Islands and has been established to commemorate the first historic meetings of Maori and Europeans in the Northland area.
TAMSCT has drawn up a schedule of events and legacy creation plans for the Northland region to commemorate this anniversary in consultation with the Ministry of Culture and Heritage (MCH), the Department of Conservation (DoC), local community organisations and businesses.
The Far North District Council (FNDC), Whangarei District Council (WDC) and Northland Regional Council (NRC) view the celebrations as important to the region, especially given Northland is one of only four regions with a significant role. In addition, this is part of National commemorations, and is a Tier 1 Anniversary (as defined by MCH), which is expected to attract Central Government financial support.
Northland councils consider this anniversary an opportunity for their staff to work together with TAMSCT to deliver a Tai Tokerau provincial programme of events.
There are a number of events planned in Northland between January 2018 and early 2020, with a focus around a flotilla visit which it is hoped will include a replica of Cook’s Endeavour, waka hourua and Navy ships.
The result of this procurement process is intended to allow TAMSCT and Councils to gather information which will facilitate working together to achieve the best result for Northland.
