While this was happening, the two Detroit diesel engines were delivered to American Diesel Spares in Manukau. The brief from Fullers was to provide as close as possible to a “zero hour rebuild” on these engines to ensure they continued to operate trouble-free, similar to that experienced to date. In other words, they required a complete factory spec rebuild to equal new engines as closely as possible. The time span of the job was always going to be tight and it was very important that the engines be completed within a fixed time, as the ferry would be needed in service as Fuller hauls Aft deck and heads with access up other vessels for annual surveys.

  • Sustainable Tourism in Auckland with a Case Study of Waiheke Island
    Sustainable Tourism in Auckland with a case study of Waiheke Island Ronnie Xu Master of Professional Practice Otago Polytechnic Supported by ATEED (Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development) Contents 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2. SYNOPSIS AND BACKGROUND 4 3. RESEARCH PROCESS AND AIMS 16 4. WAIHEKES’S OVERVIEW 19 5. IMPACTS TO WAIHEKE TOURISM 23 6. STRATEGIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 41 7. CONCLUSION 44 8. REFERENCES 45 1. Introduction Sustainable tourism can be defined as "Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities" (United Nations World Tourism Organisation, 2005). When we read the “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” and the “Sustainable Development in the 21st century (SD21), which were published by United Nations (UN), we can understand the significance, value, vision, goals and targets of sustainable development for the planet in the next decades. United Nations will take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets were announced which demonstrated the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. These goals are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: being economic, social and environmental. Furthermore, United Nations has declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development and it has continued to promote this by World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) since December 2015. There is a clear understanding for its goal and relation to “the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.

    Chair’s report: Waiheke Local Board Month to 18 Sept 2018 Ngā mihi Waiheke Te Korowai O Waiheke (previously Predator Free Waiheke) The coalition of most of Waiheke’s predator control groups has been so successful that the group, has now secured approximately $11m of Government, Council and Foundation North funding to support their ambitions and plans to make Waiheke predator-free by 2025. The local board has supported the build of this coalition of community groups and congratulated them and the new trust board that will oversee the project at the launch of the campaign on Sunday 16 September at a hui hosted by Piritahi Marae. Piritahi Marae and Auckland Council officers led by Deryn Dromgoole (Waiheke’s resident biosecurity officer), are to be commended as are the High Schools’ Kapa Haka group and hospitality students for hosting such a large and future-focussed ceremony and celebration. The grant funds now provide the opportunity to rebuild the health of many of Waiheke’s natural ecosystems which have been significantly depleted and which are under further serious threat. Youth mini-conference On Saturday 15 September the island’s youth representatives, Youth Voice, collaborating with Doris Aoine and Rozanne Gold of the Rock hosted their own highly successful mini-conference, designed to bring young people together to help capture their aspirations and ideas for the islands youth. The outcomes from this mini-conference will themselves feed into the business case being developed to establish a permanent youth centre on the island.

  • Concession Reconsideration (PDF, 442K
    Fullers Group Limited – Reconsideration Decision Report to Decision Maker To: Mike Slater, Deputy Director General Operations Action Required: To make a decision on the Reconsideration of the Fullers Group Limited Concession application as ordered by the Supreme Court Concession Applicant: Fullers Group Limited Permission Record Number: 38065-GUI The purpose of this report is to reconsider the concession application made in 2013 by Fullers in relation to guiding activities on Rangitoto and Motutapu Islands as directed by the Supreme Court on 14 December 2018 as a result of a Judicial review taken by Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust. The Supreme Court ordered that the reconsideration is undertaken in light of its judgment. Task Assignment: DOC-6089016 _____________________________ Di Clendon Senior Permissions Advisor Date: 26 November 2020 - 1 – Fullers Group Limited - Reconsideration Report - 38065-GUI - DOC-6152681 Permission number: 38065-GUI Page 2 Executive Summary 1. The Supreme Court released its decision in Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust v Minister of Conservation [2018] NZSC 122 on 14 December 2018. The case concerned the Department’s consideration of Treaty principles in the granting of two commercial concessions in 2015 on Motutapu and Rangitoto islands (the motu) to Fullers Group Limited (Fullers) and the Motutapu Island Restoration Trust (MRT). 2. The Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust (the Trust) argued that DOC had not properly given effect to Treaty principles when granting the concessions. The Trust argued that granting concessions other than to tangata whenua would limit or remove opportunities for Māori, whether economic or otherwise and economic opportunities should be preserved for iwi/hapū given their mana whenua over the islands.

    Public Version ISSN No. 0114-2720 11.4/11704 Decision No. 674 Determination pursuant to the Commerce Act 1986 in the matter of an application for clearance of a business acquisition involving: Fullers Group Limited and Kiwi Kat Limited The Commission: Mark Berry Peter JM Taylor Susan Begg Summary of Application: The acquisition by Fullers Group Limited of most of the assets of the business called 360 Discovery operated by Kiwi Kat Limited. Determination: Pursuant to section 66(3)(a) of the Commerce Act 1986, the Commission determines to give clearance for the proposed acquisition. Date of Determination: 30 June 2009 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL IN THIS REPORT IS CONTAINED IN SQUARE BRACKETS 1 THE PROPOSAL 1. On 8 June 2009, the Commerce Commission (the Commission) received a notice pursuant to s 66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986 (the Act). The notice sought clearance for the acquisition by Fullers Group Limited of most of the assets of the business called 360 Discovery operated by Kiwi Kat Limited. 2. Kiwi Kat’s largest vessel, the Discovery V, is not part of the acquisition. [ ] ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK 3. The first step of the Commission’s analytical framework1 for assessing applications for clearance is to determine the relevant market or markets. To do this, the Commission identifies the areas of overlap between the acquirer and the target, and then considers what, if any, products and geographic regions, constitute relevant close substitutes from both a customer’s and a supplier’s point of view. 4. The Commission uses a forward-looking type of analysis to assess whether a lessening of competition is likely, so an important subsequent step is to establish the appropriate hypothetical future scenarios, with and without the proposed acquisition.

    Investment Review 2016 SOUTER INVESTMENTS IS THE INVESTMENT OFFICE OF THE SOUTER FAMILY ir Brian Souter co-founded Stagecoach Group plc as a start-up in 1980. Today the company is a leading international transport group, with extensive operations in the UK, United States and Canada, S employing around 40,000 people and operating nearly 11,000 buses and 2,300 daily rail services. Stagecoach floated in 1993 and is listed in the FTSE 250. Sir Brian is Chairman of the company, having stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer four years ago. When Sir Brian founded Souter Investments in 2006, more than two thirds of his portfolio was represented by his Stagecoach shareholding, with the remainder invested in a diverse number of managed funds, and a smaller portfolio of unquoted and property investments. Private equity focus Today the balance is very different. Our primary focus is on unquoted investments, and whilst Stagecoach is still a major part of the portfolio it now only represents 34% of total assets. We are sector agnostic, and invest across a wide range of industries, including financial and business services, consumer goods, healthcare, telecoms and industrials. Although not our primary focus, transport will always be an area of interest given Sir Brian’s background.
