Artefacts removed from Ruapekapeka pa in January that saw a Northland man fined
$1600.
Northern Advocate
What has been deemed an 'honest mistake' has led to a Northland man receiving a $1600 fine for the removal of historic war artefacts from Ruapekapeka Pa.
Sadly, these offences are happening at important cultural heritage sites across New Zealand and are not always so innocent, the Department of Conservation (DoC) said.
Te Ruapekapeka Trust and DoC were alerted through comments on Facebook that the man was seen using a metal detector and removing artefacts at Ruapekapeka pa in late January.

Removal of war artefacts from Ruapekapeka Pā results in $1600 fine


The man came forward immediately and returned the items, which were then blessed and returned to Ruapekapeka.
Nonetheless, he was issued infringement notices and fines for failure to comply with the Reserves Act for cutting sod and removal of a relic from a historic site.

A Northland man had cut 20 holes in the Ruapekapeka Pā and removed a number of artefacts.
DOC said while the man did the right thing in coming forward and returning the items, it had a duty of care to enforce the well-displayed rules to protect treasured historic sites.
Despite this instance being an “honest mistake”, DOC said these offences happening across cultural heritage sites in New Zealand are not always so innocent.

More than 700 people gathered on an isolated hilltop south of Kawakawa to remember the victims of a battle 175 years ago as Waitangi commemorations got under way in earnest yesterday.
The dedication of a memorial at Ruapekapeka Pā to 12 British soldiers, whose unmarked grave was rediscovered in 2017, was Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's first official engagement of a four-day stay in Northland.
