Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) 2. The CDHB is responsible for promoting the reduction of adverse environmental effects on the health of people and communities and to improve, promote and protect their health pursuant to the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and the Health Act 1956. 3. These statutory obligations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and, in the Canterbury District, are carried out under contract by Community and Public Health under Crown funding agreements on behalf of the Canterbury District Health Board. General comments 4. Health and wellbeing (overall quality of life) is influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the health sector. These influences can be described as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and are impacted by environmental, social and behavioural factors. They are often referred to as the ‘social determinants of health1. Barton and Grant’s Health Map2 shows how various influences on health are complex and interlinked.

  • Estimating Demand for Selwyn's Cycleways Abstract
    ESTIMATING DEMAND FOR SELWYN'S CYCLEWAYS Megan Fowler BE (Hons), MET, GIPENZ Traffic Engineer, ViaStrada Ltd, Christchurch http://viastrada.co.nz/ Andrew Macbeth (presenter) BE, MEng, CPEng, FIPENZ Director, ViaStrada Ltd, Christchurch http://viastrada.co.nz/ Lee Wright PG Dip in Public Management, PG Cert in Public Policy Transport and Road Safety Coordinator, Selwyn District Council [email protected] ABSTRACT Selwyn District Council has a desired "outcome" for the future of “a Selwyn where people walk and cycle safely for transportation and enjoyment”. This will be achieved through a combination of inspired, ambitious walking and cycling education, engineering and enforcement projects. Selwyn doesn’t think in issues or problems - we call them challenges! Selwyn proposed a package of seven cycleway / walkway projects connecting their main towns, including Lincoln, Rolleston and Darfield to each other and to greater Christchurch. The paths also extend the Little River Rail Trail project. This paper describes the economic assessment approach taken in the funding approval processes for the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). The economic assessment was based on the full procedures which, for walking and cycling projects, is a continuation of the simplified procedures (SP 11) demand estimation method. We used, however, several modifications to the SP 11 method to improve the accuracy of the predictions. Estimating the demand for new facilities is an important part of the economic justification for walking and cycling projects. This paper, based on a ViaStrada project for Selwyn District Council, discusses how this was done for the Selwyn projects. We note that this modified procedure is a variation on accepted New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) processes and has not yet received NZTA endorsement.

  • CPW Newsletter No 2
    May-June Update Central Plains Water was set up by Christchurch City and Selwyn District Councils in March 2000 to investigate ways to improve the security and prosperity of the Central Canterbury region through water management schemes that enhance ecological and recreational values while providing opportunity for agricultural and horticultural diversity. Further information can be obtained from the Central Plains Water website http://www.cpw.org.nz/ Central Plains Water project manager is Eddie Thomas, based at the Selwyn District Council, tel (03) 324 5859. Requests for further copies, previous issues and all other enquiries about the content of this newsletter should be directed to him. Wairiri Valley site selected for further study Wairiri Valley has been identified as the best site for a 1,000- hectare storage reservoir to serve a large irrigation scheme for the central Canterbury Plains. This site scored best from a technical point of view and also ranked well against alternatives considered by community representatives involved in the selection process. Based on initial studies, Wairiri appears to have a sound geological base, gives options for the transportation of water from the Rakaia River or Lake Coleridge and has a very small natural catchment, minimising the risk of the reservoir overflowing during heavy rain. Construction of a scheme is currently estimated at about $100 million. Detailed work on options for raising this money from stakeholders and others will be undertaken later this year. This is just one of the many questions to be answered before a scheme could go ahead. Glentunnel, Coalgate, Whitecliffs and surrounding communities have identified issues in relation to a large body of water sitting in their neighbourhood, Wairiri Valley landowners will require compensation, and many geological, environmental and cultural considerations will need thorough investigation.
