Landscape Architects Ltd (MGLA) has been engaged by J Swap Contractors to assess the landscape and visual effects of the proposed expansion of the Ostern Quarry Site, located approximately half way between Te Awamutu and Otorohanga on State Highway 3. Three main aspects are evaluated within this report. They are: a. The existing landscape character of the site and its place in the local and regional context. b. The potential landscape and visual effects of the proposed development from typical viewer locations. c. An overview of the effects of the proposed development on landscape and natural character values. The quarry site is located within the Otorohanga District. METHODOLOGY A standard assessment approach has been used to identify the existing landscape character of the site and its surroundings and to assess the potential effect of the proposed quarry expansion on landscape and visual amenity. In broad terms, the assessment consists of the: a. Identification of the key elements or attributes of the proposed development; b. Identification of the landscape values, character, key attributes and social preferences within the context of biophysical, associative and visual landscape interpretation; and c. Identification of relevant assessment criteria within the context of the relevant statutory framework. A combination of GIS view shed analysis and field assessment has been undertaken to identify the potential visibility of the development from surrounding areas. By considering the above, the likely effects of the proposed development are able to be identified and rated. A methodological flow chart is contained in appendix one. APPLICATION OVERVIEW Proposed Application J Swap Contractors operate the Ostern quarry on the south eastern flanks of Tokanui, which produces brown, blue‐brown and blue greywacke rock resources for a range of commercial aggregate product. They seek resource consents to continue existing quarrying activities at the Osterns Quarry site for the next 35 years (i.e. until 2050). A map illustrating the existing and proposed areas of quarrying is appended to this report as attachment two. It is intended that quarrying will continue in Osterns Quarry Areas II and III long term, while short term activities will focus on storage and distribution, water take/storage and overburden disposal. Quarry Expansion and Process Stripping and Overburden Removal Stripping of soil and overburden is

Any loss of tikanga or kawa is detrimental to our people. The Crown has restricted us in so many ways. We have been left with almost no place to exist as Māori. Our ability to exercise rangatiratanga has been taken away from us. In Kauwhata, a resurgence has begun, but there is still a long way to go.1 - Rodney Graham 1. These are the closing submissions for Wai 784, a claim by Rodney Graham and others on behalf of themselves and the Kauwhata Treaty Claims Komiti and Ngā Uri Tangata o Ngāti Kauwhata ki Te Tonga (“Wai 784 Ngāti Kauwhata claim”).

  • 1 Representation Review – Initial Proposal Summary Document What's It All About? Local Authorities Around the Country Are Re
    Representation Review – Initial Proposal Summary Document What’s it all about? Local authorities around the country are required to make decisions about their representation arrangements every six years, following a process contained in the Local Electoral Act 2001. One of the principles of the Act is to implement ‘fair and effective representation for individuals and communities’. The last time the Ōtorohanga District Council undertook a review was in 2018, but the Council decision in April 2021 to establish Māori Wards triggered a requirement to review arrangements again. Councils must determine whether to have wards or not, whether to elect some councillors by wards and the rest at large; if there are to be wards the proposed number; the proposed name and boundary of each ward; and the number of councillors proposed to be elected by the electors of each ward. Councils must also make decisions about Community Boards. What does Council’s Initial Proposal look like? On 17 August 2021 the Ōtorohanga District Council reviewed its representation arrangements and resolved that the following proposal apply for Council elections to be held on 8 October 2022: It is proposed that the Council comprise 9 members elected from six wards, and the Mayor elected at- large. The six wards reflect the following identified communities of interest: Ward Communities of Interest Kāwhia/Tihiroa Ward The communities of Kāwhia and Aotea together with, but not limited to, the rural areas of Oparau, Hauturu, Ngutunui, Tihiroa, Te Kawa and Honikiwi.
