Bin Enquiry FormHoniana Te Puni Reserve is at the northernmost point of Te Whanganui a Tara Wellington Harbour, at the Western end of Pito-One. In future it will be the northern gateway to the Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One section of Te Ara Tupua.
The reserve is named after Honiana Te Puni, a Te Atiawa rangatira who signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. In the 19th century, Honiana Te Puni Reserve was part of the broader area of Pito-One Pā and Te Tatau o te Pō Pā, with urupā (burial grounds) and gardens nearby.
The reserve land was returned to Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika (Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust) as part of their Treaty settlement.
Planning for Te Ara Tupua has reinvigorated conversations about the long-term future for Honiana Te Puni Reserve. These conversations have been led by Te Ara Tupua Mana Whenua Steering Group, and a plan and vision have been developed jointly by Taranaki Whānui, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA), and Hutt City Council.
