10 Day Top of the South
10 Day Top of the South The Journey While not the only regions bathed in sunshine and wrapped in beautiful coastlines, Nelson and Marlborough join forces to deliver one of New Zealand’s most diverse and satisfying holiday destinations. Three national parks, beaches and bays, world-famous wineries, delectable produce, art, culture, adrenaline activities and family fun – all this and more can be found on this scenic loop from Britz’s Christchurch depot. Highlights of the trip Christchurch Kaikoura Marlborough Sounds Nelson Lakes National Park Day 1 Christchurch Christchurch is a welcoming city and a convenient departure point for the road trips that lead in almost every direction. Immerse yourself in its dynamic vibe by visiting the arty centre and Re:Start precinct, its parks, gardens and beaches, and suburban hotspots such as Addington and Woolston Tannery. There are several leafy holiday parks out east, including North South, handy to the Britz depot. Day 2 Christchurch to Kairkoura Head up SH1, and in less than 30 minutes you’ll reach Waipara, a burgeoning wine region where Pegasus Bay and Black Estate offer tastings and winery lunches; the Waipara Valley Wine Growers lists other cellar doors. SH1 then leaves the Canterbury Plains and winds over the Hundalee Hills before kissing the coast. Kaikoura lies at the southern boundary of Marlborough, straddling a peninsula guarded by the Seaward Kaikoura Range. It’s world- renown for Whale Watch tours, but there is plenty of other wildlife to see including dolphins, seals and seabirds. Other ways to encounter wildlife are Seal Swiming and Kayak Tours, and the walk along the view-filled Kaikoura Peninsula that passes the Point Kean Seal Colony. -

Waimakariri District Flood Hazard Management Strategy
Waimakariri District Flood Hazard Management Strategy Ashley River Floodplain Investigation Report No. R08/23 ISBN 978-1-86937-804-2 Tony Oliver June 2008 Report R08/23 ISBN 978-1-86937-804-2 58 Kilmore Street PO Box 345 Christchurch Phone (03) 365 3828 Fax (03) 365 3194 75 Church Street PO Box 550 Timaru Phone (03) 688 9069 Fax (03) 688 9067 Website: www.ecan.govt.nz Customer Services Phone 0800 324 636 Environment Canterbury Technical Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study of the Ashley River floodplain uses a combined one and two dimensional hydraulic computer model to estimate flood extent and depths on the Ashley River floodplain. Modelling has indicated the current capacity of the Ashley River stopbanked system is approximately equivalent to the 2% AEP (50 year return period) flood event. Breakouts however, could occur in more frequent events. Stopbank breaches and outflows onto the floodplain could potentially occur anywhere along the stopbanks. Breakout scenarios onto the floodplain have been modelled for the 1%, 0.5% and 0.2% AEP (i.e. 100, 200 and 500 year return period) events at the most likely breakout locations. The modelling indicates significant flooding to large areas of land between the Ashley and Waimakariri Rivers. Kaiapoi and adjacent areas are predicted to be flooded to depths over 1 metres in the 0.2% AEP (500 year return period) event. The impact of future urbanisation in Kaiapoi has also been modelled. It is hoped the floodplain maps and associated depths will assist land use planning within the area and provide information on minimum floor levels for new dwellings located on the floodplain, where appropriate. -

Dear Cancern Member Earlier This Week Cancern Had a Very
Dear CanCERN Member Earlier this week CanCERN had a very productive meeting with Fletcher EQR to develop our relationship and exchange ideas. One of the outcomes of this meeting is information that can be passed directly on to residents about EMERGENCY REPAIRS. Fletcher EQR really wishes to ensure all houses are safe, secure and weathertight as we move into winter and beyond and so we have worked together to provide the following checklists. Please note: This information is intended to go to our residents who require emergency repairs, as defined below, to make their homes habitable. Firstly if you have sustained new damage on 22 February you need to lodge a new claim with EQC (call 0800 326 243). When you call, tell EQC that emergency repairs are also required. If you did not make this clear when you lodged the claim, or are unsure, call EQC again. If your emergency repairs are valued under $2000 you can arrange the repairs yourself. Talk to EQC before you go ahead as they will need to authorise the works and may require a quote from the repairer. If your emergency repairs are valued over $2000 they will be allocated to Fletcher EQR to manage. The Hub office in your area will call you to arrange the repairs. This may take a week at the moment, particularly in badly affected areas. If repairs relate to chimney damage, and you have lost the primary means of heating your home, EQC will advise Fletcher EQR’s Clean Heat Hub. They will contact you regarding the winter heating aspect of your repairs. -
Application of Tectonic Geomorphology in Earthquake Hazard Assessments
Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2013 Conference, Nov 15-17, Hobart, Tasmania Application of Tectonic Geomorphology in Earthquake Hazard Assessments Beatriz Estrada 1. Corresponding Author: Senior Engineering Geologist, Pells Sullivan Meynink, Email: [email protected] Abstract Identification of earthquake sources is essential in earthquake hazard assessments. Ideally, earthquake sources should be identified by using a multidisciplinary approach that includes analysis of detailed seismological, paleoseismological, neotectonic, structural, and geophysical data. However, in many cases the required information is not readily available and the evaluation of seismic sources largely relies on the location of recorded earthquake activity. Tectonic geomorphology (ground surface evidence of tectonic and earthquake deformation) can be used to help to identify earthquake sources. Tectonic geomorphology is a relatively inexpensive tool to improve the knowledge of earthquake hazard. This paper illustrates the use of tectonic geomorphology for site specific earthquake hazard assessments in three case studies from different tectonic regions namely, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Western Australia. Tectonic geomorphology was used in these regions to: • Recognise potential active faults and estimate associated earthquake magnitudes. • Improve the selection of earthquake time histories used in dynamic analysis. • Assess surface deformation associated with blind faults. • Identify subtle tectonic deformation in areas of low seismicity. -
