  • Stakeholder Study: Resource Management of Wairarapa Moana
    Natalie Diltz Jena Mazzucco Austin Scott Jeffrey Sirocki March 2, 2016 STAKEHOLDER STUDY: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OF WAIRARAPA MOANA Identification and Analysis of Wairarapa Moana Stakeholder Opinions Regarding the Management of the Blundell Barrage Gates Abstract This project aided the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) in collecting opinions from five stakeholder groups concerning management of the naturally flooding Lake Wairarapa in New Zealand. Our team conducted a total of twenty-nine interviews with the Rangitāne (Māori), Department of Conservation, South Wairarapa District Council, landowners, and recreational water users regarding the Blundell Barrage Gates which play a vital role in flood management. Interview discussions indicate that water quality, sources of pollution, water levels, flood management, and future operation of the barrage gates are controversial. We identified communication, collaboration, and education as three areas of focus for the GWRC as they continue to improve their management of the region. i Executive Summary This project is concerned with Wairarapa Moana, a water system located in the Wairarapa region, situated on the North Island of New Zealand. Wairarapa Moana consists of the three main water bodies, shown in Figure 1; the coastal lake is Lake Onoke, the inland lake is Lake Wairarapa, and the main river is the Ruamahanga. The system is dynamic, which means water can flow in both directions. Both tidal movements and rainfall affect the direction of flow. The area is low-lying and sits between two mountain ranges exposing much of the land to seasonal flooding. The Greater Wellington Regional Council, the governing body for the Wellington region, developed the Lower Wairarapa Valley Development Scheme (LWVDS), to control flooding in the 1960s.

  • Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf
    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

  • Modeling Site Effects in the Lower Hutt Valley, New Zealand
    2694 MODELING SITE EFFECTS IN THE LOWER HUTT VALLEY, NEW ZEALAND Brian M ADAMS1, John B BERRILL2, Rob O DAVIS3 And John J TABER4 SUMMARY Lower Hutt City lies atop a wedge of Quaternary sediments forming a long alluvial valley. On its western edge the sediments butt up against the near vertical wall of the potentially active Wellington Fault, capable of an earthquake of moment magnitude 7.6. A two-dimensional linear finite-element method has been used to model the propagation of antiplane SH waves within the soft sediments and surrounding bedrock. The technique has proved to be an efficient and accurate means of modeling fine geological detail. Two detailed geological cross-sections through the Lower Hutt were modeled to gain an overall impression of the valley's seismic behaviour. It was found that horizontally propagating surface waves, generated at the valley edges, are the cause of significant amplification. The aptly named basin-edge effect – speculated to be the cause of a belt of severe shaking during the 1995 Kobe earthquake – is observed in the simulation results, occuring some 70-200 metres out from the fault. Fourier spectral ratios across the valley indicate a behaviour dominated by two-dimensional resonance, and compare favourably in magnitude with previously collected weak motion data. Certain resonant frequencies within the range 0.3-2.5 hertz are amplified up to 14 times that for nearby outcropping bedrock. Results are likely to be conservative due to the linear modeling, yet exclude fault-rupture effects due to the teleseismic nature of the input scheme. INTRODUCTION In this paper we describe our use of a two-dimensional finite-element numerical scheme to simulate ground motions from earthquake shaking in the soft sediments in-filling the Lower Hutt Valley.

  • Wairarapa Moana Whakaora Te Repo, Ka Ora Te Taonga Wai Restoring Our Wetland Treasure
    Wairarapa Moana Whakaora te repo, ka ora te taonga Wai Restoring our wetland treasure Barton’s Lagoon on the north Lake Wairarapa The Wairarapa Moana Wetlands Project began in 2008 to enhance the native ecology, recreation and cultural opportunities on the public land in the area. The project partners are Greater Wellington, Department of Conservation, Rangitane o Wairarapa, Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, local hapu and South Wairarapa District Council. They in turn are working with community groups, farmers and environmental and recreational groups to restore our wetland treasure. Everyone recognises you can’t succeed in a project this size without all interested parties being involved. Restoring the edge wetlands The project got a major shot in the arm with a successful bid for funding from the Government’s Fresh Start for Freshwater Clean Up Fund to improve the water quality of the edge wetlands. The Ministry for the Environment will contribute $1 million over the next three years. This funding will be matched by the following funding partners in cash or in kind – Ducks Unlimited, Dairy NZ, Department of Conservation and Greater Wellington Regional Council. The priority for the fresh start project is to enhance the wetland habitat around the edge of Lake Wairarapa and Lake Onoke by improving water quality through restoring selected wetland areas – Boggy Pond, Matthews Lagoon, Wairio Wetlands, JK Donald Reserve and Barton’s Lagoon stand out as priorities. This booklet is a very simplified look at Wairarapa Moana and what this funding sets out to achieve. 1 2 3 Poor water quality – our inherited problem Lake Wairarapa is among New Zealand’s 10 dirtiest lakes.

  • Identifying Resource Management Conflicts: Stakeholder Study Regarding Flood Protection in Wairarapa Moana
    Identifying Resource Management Conflicts: Stakeholder Study Regarding Flood Protection in Wairarapa Moana Sponsored By: Breanne Happell René Jacques Elizabeth van Zyl Elizabeth Walfield Identifying Resource Management Conflicts: Stakeholder Study Regarding Flood Protection in Wairarapa Moana An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with The Greater Wellington Regional Council Submitted on March 1st, 2016 Submitted By: Breanne Happell René Jacques Elizabeth van Zyl Elizabeth Walfield Project Advisors: Bethel Eddy Robert Kinicki This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects i Abstract This project aided the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) in gathering the opinions of stakeholders in regards to two flood protection methods in the Lower Wairarapa Valley of New Zealand: the Geoffrey Blundell Barrage Gates and the Ruamahanga River Cutoff. These methods regulate water levels in Lake Wairarapa. The team conducted 25 interviews with flood protection managers, farmers that live in the valley, and members of Ngāti Kahungunu, a Māori iwi (tribe). Our analysis found that fish passage through the gates, lake water levels, and whether the GWRC incorporated stakeholder opinions fairly were areas of concern to the stakeholder groups. This information will help to facilitate further communication between the stakeholder groups and the GWRC. ii Executive Summary This project evaluated the various views on the management of the Geoffrey Blundell Barrage Gates and the Ruamahanga River Cutoff, two flood protection methods implemented in Wairarapa Moana.
