    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

This essentially removes the 400m long section of open road between the Tapu and Te Mata. Local feedback received indicated that the community wanted the gazetted speed limit changed to 50km/h as it is posted and NZTA has supported this view when making its decision. The forum expressed its disappointment with NZTA's decision to reduce the gazetted speed limit from Tapu through Te Mata to 50km/h despite stakeholder feedback to the contrary.

  • New Zealand—Hauraki Gulf MSP Process
    Hauraki Gulf Marine Spatial Plan 1. Goals, engagement and information base The Hauraki Gulf is one of New Zealand’s most valued and intensively used spaces. Its national significance was formalised in 2000 with the creation of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. The Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act 2000 recognises the life-supporting capacity of the Gulf in providing for the historic, traditional, cultural and spiritual relationship of indigenous communities with customary authority over the area and the social, economic, recreational and cultural well-being of people and communities of the Hauraki Gulf. The Act further states that the Gulf should be managed for several specific objectives including the protection and, where appropriate, the enhancement of the life- supporting capacity of the environment and the natural, historic and physical resource of the Hauraki Gulf, its islands, and catchments. This includes resources with which indigenous people have an historic, traditional, cultural and spiritual relationship and those resources which contribute to the social and economic wellbeing of the communities of the Hauraki Gulf and New Zealand. The long-term and widespread decline in the health of the Gulf was highlighted in the latest Tikapa Moana – Hauraki Gulf State of the Environment Report published in 2011. In order to integrate management across the Gulf and develop options for the Gulf’s future local indigenous communities and statutory agencies (Auckland Council, Waikato Regional Council, the Hauraki Gulf Forum, the Department of Conservation and the Ministry for Primary Industries) became partners and established the Hauraki Gulf Marine spatial Plan (HGMSP) process. The plan aims to secure the Hauraki Gulf as a healthy, productive and sustainable resource for all current and future users while resolving conflicting demands for resources and space and reversing environmental decline.
