Map 1: Bowenvale Site specific considerations relating to the GNS model for Map 1 Expert advice provided to the Port Hills Zoning Review Advisory Group indicated that there are site specific considerations relating to the GNS risk model around the following area: • Properties on the eastern side of the valley at 101G and 101H Bowenvale Avenue: The model overstates the life safety risk to these properties because: o There is a limited rockfall source; and o The presence of the road/pathway provides additional protection which is not reflected in the model. (In most circumstances the presence of a flat area such as a road carriageway or building platform tends to reduce the rockfall risk for properties located below the flat area.)

Map 3: Centaurus Road Site specific considerations relating to the GNS model for Map 3 Expert advice provided to the Port Hills Zoning Review Advisory Group indicated that there are site specific considerations relating to the GNS risk model around the following area: • Properties in the View Terrace / Centaurus Road area (e.g. 2, 2F, 4, 6, 8, 10 View Terrace and 216 Centaurus Road) There is a model boundary effect within the GNS model which tends to overstate the life safety risk to these properties. This is because the GNS model, like all numerical models, becomes less certain around the edges of the modelled area due to inherent model assumptions and mathematical constraints. There is no immediate risk to life associated with these properties.

Vick ([email protected]) ORCHID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9159-071X Abstract. Rockfall modelling is an essential tool for hazard analysis in steep terrain. Calibrating terrain parameters ensures that the model results accurately represent the site-specific hazard. Parameterizing rockfall models is challenging because rockfall runout is highly sensitive to initial conditions, rock shape, size and material properties, terrain morphology, and 15 terrain material properties. This contribution examines the mechanics of terrain scarring due to rockfall on the Port Hills of Christchurch, New Zealand. We use field-scale testing and laboratory direct-shear testing to quantify how the changing moisture content of the loessial soils can influence its strength from soft to hard, and vice versa. We calibrate the three-dimensional rockfall model RAMMS by back analysing several well-documented rockfall events, adopting dry loessial soil conditions.

Population ratios of 28 pre-CES to CES boulders at two study sites vary spatially from ~5:1 to 8.5:1. This is interpreted 29 to reflect (i) variations in CES rockfall flux due to intra- and inter-event spatial differences in 30 ground motions (e.g.

  • Bird Counts in Kennedy's Bush Scenic Reserve, Port Hills, Christchurch
    Bird Counts in Kennedy's Bush Scenic Reserve, Port Hills, Christchurch By AMANDA N. D. FREEMAN 17 Magnolia St., Atherton, Queensland 4883, Australia ABSTRACT Between March 1992 and February 1993,222 five-minutestationary bird counts were conducted at 12 sites in the Kennedy's Bush Scenic Reserve on Christchurch's Port Hills. Over the period of the survey, 22 species of bird were recorded in or flying over the reserve.The seven most frequently recorded species were Silvereye (Zosteropslateralis), Grey Warbler (Gerygone igata), Bellbird (Anthornis rn. rnelanura), Fantail (Rbipidurafuliginosa),Chaffinch (Fringillacoelebs), Blackbird (Turdus rnerula) and Redpoll (Acanthisflarnrnea) . Kennedy's Bush does not contain a high diversity of native bush birds compared to some other mainland sites. Native species also appear less abundant in Kennedy's Bush than in continuous, climax forest sites near Reefton. Kennedy's Bush does, however, support high numbers of some species such as Silvereye, Grey Warbler, Fantail, Bellbird and Shining Cuckoo (Ch?ysococcyxI. lucidus) compared to sites at Kowhai Bush, Kaikoura. The autumn peak in numbers of Silvereye recorded at Kennedy's Bush may result from flocks of migrating birds, some of which may move out of the reserve for the winter months. The numbers of Grey Warbler, Bellbird and Blackbird recorded probably reflect seasonal changes in conspicuousness rather than a change in actual numbers; adults are probably resident in the reserve year round. As in other parts of Canterbury, Fantail numbers were severely reduced by the heavy snow-falls ofAugust 1992. Bellbird numbers were also reduced by the heavy snow-falls. Spring brought high numbers of Chaftinches to the reserve and summer brought high numbers of Redpolls, both ofwhich were apparently absent or in very low numbers during winter.

  • Site Investigations for Residential Development on the Port Hills, Christchurch
    SITE INVESTIGATIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE PORT HILLS, CHRISTCHURCH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Engineering Geology in the University of Canterbury by Barry J.

II ABSTRACT Three site investigations for residential development on the Port Hills gave a chance to document remedial measures in volcanic bedrock (McCormacks Bay) and cut and fill operations in loess (Westmorland), and to carry out detailed logging and index testing, as well as strength testing in loess (Westmorland and Coleridge Tce). A design-as-you-go approach was adopted for remedial measures in blast-damaged volcanic bedrock at McCormacks Bay Quarry Subdivision because of potential difficulties in obtaining· detailed sub-surface information. Remedial measures included: (a) removal of loose blocks, (b) reinforced concrete buttressing, (c) a gabion basket retaining wall, and (d) a vegetation programme. Engineering geological mapping and face logging are important for delineating and subdividing rock and soil units, as well as active and inactive areas of erosion and slope instability. Geotechnical testing programmes, remedial measures and earth works should only proceed after completion and interpretation of engineering geological plans, sections and face logs. Index tests carried out on loess from Westmorland and Coleridge Tce included: (a) grainsize distribution, (b) Atterberg limits, (c) insitu dry density and moisture content, (d) pinhole erosion, and (e) the crumb test for clay dispersion.

PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAMME 20 PEST FREE BANKS PENINSULA Pest Free Banks Peninsula / Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū is a collaborative programme to protect and enhance biodiversity on the Peninsula through the widespread eradication of animal pests. Like most biodiversity initiatives, it has wider benefits: it supports Ngāi Tahu values, community development and sustainable agriculture and tourism. 1. INTRODUCTION It is a community led initiative, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by 14 foundation signatories in November 2018. With the Peninsula (including the Port Hills) bordering greater Christchurch, it provides the opportunity for both urban and rural residents to be involved in restoring this unique environment. Making Banks Peninsula pest free is an ambitious and aspirational goal.
