Freshwater Management Freshwater Management 1 Waterway Enhancement & Protection 1.1 Annual Plan targets – Regional Freshwater programme This item comprises the Waterway Enhancement and Protection section reports on water quality implementation work across the Region, excluding work undertaken as part of the Manawatu and Lake Horowhenua Clean-up Funds, which are reported separately. Brief updates for the reporting period (May - June 2015) are provided in the sections below. A summary of progress made against the targets for the year is provided in Table 1 and in the Summary Table at the end of this section. Table 1: Annual Plan performance measures for the 2014-15 year for the Regional Freshwater Programme (excluding the Freshwater Clean-up Fund work for the Manawatu Catchment).

This corresponds with the Freshwater Operational Plan to have non-regulatory programmes align with the „priority‟ catchments for nutrient management in the One Plan. 1.2.1 One fencing grant, of 630 metres, was completed in this catchment in June. This will be planted later this winter. Work to inform where to target works to be most effective continues in close collaboration with the Science team. This includes working with the Science team to assist with water quality investigation studies, including monitoring work in the Waikawa Catchment. Staff are also assisting with the Lakes monitoring programme by seeking permissions from landowners. 1.2.2 Over this period another Lakes sampling run was undertaken, including Pukepuke Lagoon and Lake Waiwiri (Papaitonga) for the first time. Assist dairy farmers to deliver on their Dairying and Clean Streams Accord obligations: 1.2.3 The Freshwater team worked with 13 dairy farmers this year, providing six with advice on riparian fencing and/or planting only, and seven with Environmental Grant assistance for work that does not fall into the Clean Streams Accord obligations. The bulk of this work was planting riparian areas with native trees and flaxes. This is in addition to the work in the Manawatu Catchment, which is reported separately. Work with individuals, community groups and iwi to improve waterways: Context The work with individuals or groups includes providing specific advice regarding freshwater projects, generally addressing the best methods to improve water quality or aquatic habitat. These include stock exclusion, planting, weed control, sediment control and fish passage improvement advice. Each individual or group is only counted once per year, although many projects involve numerous contacts and/or visits as they progress. This excludes work undertaken in the Manawatu and Lake Horowhenua catchments, which is reported separately. Update 1.2.4 During the 2014-15 year, 131 individuals, iwi, community groups, and clubs have requested advice from the Freshwater team, and have been visited or contacted and provided with advice. Forty-nine of these advice recipients have subsequently applied for Freshwater Grants. 1.2.5 A particular highlight this year has been the amount of collaborative work the team have undertaken with iwi and hapu groups, district councils and various clubs. Freshwater and policy staff worked with seven iwi and/or hapu groups to support applications made to the Te Mana o Te Wai (TMOTW) fund in April. The Te Mana o Te Wai application process has helped not only to develop relationships further with each of these iwi, but also has identified projects of importance to iwi/hapu which staff will continue to work with them on into the future. Projects with District Councils include the “Healthy Streams” initiative to improve urban streams in Wanganui; and involvement with the Rangitikei Treasured Natural Environment Group and various sub-projects arising from that with Rangitikei District Council; and projects via the Lake Horowhenua Accord with Horowhenua District Council. Environmental Grant applications supported: Context Environmental grants support a wide range of works that primarily include fencing and planting of waterways, fish pass remediation, as well as willow and weed control such as releasing of native trees and shrubs planted last winter. Update 1.2.6 Forty-nine Freshwater Grant applications were completed during the 2014-15 financial year. 1.2.7 A number of approved projects were unable to be completed during the year due to the wet weather in May and June impeding access for fencers, and the floods impacting on jobs that were either partially completed or due to be planted in late June. However, a number of applications in May and June, particularly for stream planting, were able to be completed, which meant that the programme was almost fully allocated again this year for the year. 1.2.8 The project delivered more than 20 km of stream fencing and more than 25,000 natives planted.

Update 1.2.9 Fencing has been completed on five Atihau kawenata (covenants) sites, and contractors have completed approximately half of the fencing on a Maori owned section of Raketapauma (Irirangi) wetland near Waiouru. 1.2.10 The last two months of 2014-15 were particularly busy assessing and pricing up works for new kawenata proposals. A proposal for kawenata at one bush block of more than 100 hectares has been submitted to NWR ready for the August meeting, and another 410 hectare bush block is in the process of assessment and negotiation. Both sites are in Ruapehu. 1.2.11 Goat control works are underway at several sites near Raetihi, including Ohorea, Tawanui, and Te Pa, with staff assisting NWR contractors with logistical support. 1.2.12 Automatic kiwi call recording devices were installed at several sites in June, to determine whether kiwi are present at more sites than currently confirmed. We are working in conjunction with Kiwis for Kiwi and DOC to help determine the extent of the Western brown kiwi in this area. Part funding has been obtained for more intensive predator control works at Ohorea Bush, in order to protect kiwi at this large site.

In 1903 he sold it to Henry Cowan, who developed the prize-winning East India Pale Ale, and as the factory expanded, a seven-storey brew tower was built in 1931, so brewers could use gravity to turn malt into beer. Strangely, the builders forgot to put in a lift and stairs, and this quirk has only added intrigue to the site’s long history. The tower is now classified as a Category 1 Heritage Listed building and has been earthquake strengthened. In 1969 the Brewery was sold to Dominion Breweries, which expanded the business outside allowing time for their flavours to fully develop. its traditional catchments of Wairarapa and A special feature of this brewery is the ability to Hawke’s Bay.
