PIPIWAI Z
On 14 May 1879, the 1,102-acre Pipiwai block was brought before the Native Land Court for its investigation of title. Hoana Niha appeared before the Court. Hoana Niha claimed the block for himself and others through his ancestor Hapi. There being no opposition, the Court issued an order in favour of Te Kauku and three others.32 A series of alienations occurred in the late 1800s.
On 29 March 1961, as a result of amalgamation, Pipiwai B1 and B2 were formed into the following new title order:
On 17 December 1965 as a result of amalgamation, Pipiwai No.s A1, C, D, E, G1, G2 and Z were included in the Te Horo Block.
Part of this land went on to adjoining owner Charlie Tipene on boundary restructuring during the operation of the scheme.
Mr Kerr’s evidence to the Court in 1965 said: An area of 76 acres in three severances. Two of those severances are on each side of the road entrance to Mr Trimmer’s farm, the third is to the west of the main road. This land is in terrace land, a mixture of easy to medium hillsides. The easy land is grassland which has reverted to fern and small areas of black-berry and scrub. The steeper country to the west of the main road is perhaps an area of gum land on steep hillside which is in scrub.
