On this tour we had so many highlights, including close encounters with North Island, South Island and Little Spotted Kiwi, Wandering, Northern and Southern Royal, Black-browed, Shy, Salvin’s and Chatham Albatrosses, Mottled and Black Petrels, Buller’s and Hutton’s Shearwater and South Island Takahe, North Island Kokako, the tiny Rifleman and the very cute New Zealand (South Island wren) Rockwren. With a few members of the group already at the hotel (the afternoon before the tour started), we jumped into our van and drove to the nearby Puketutu Island. Here we had a good introduction to New Zealand birding. Arriving at a bay, the canals were teeming with Black Swans, Australasian Shovelers, Mallard and several White-faced Herons.

Not only will you see a variety of albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters, but there are good chances of getting out on the high seas and finding something unusual. Seabirds dominate this tour, and views of most birds are right alongside the boat. There are also several land birds which are unique to these islands: the kiwis – terrestrial nocturnal inhabitants; the huge swamp-hen like takahe – prehistoric in its looks and movements; and then the wattlebirds (the saddlebacks and kokako) – poor flyers with short wings, which bound along the branches and on the ground. We had so many highlights on this tour, including close encounters with Little Spotted Kiwi, walk-away views of a pair of North Island Kokako, both North and South Island Saddlebacks and a pair of the impressive South Island Takahe. With many boat trips, the pelagic list was long, with Wandering, Northern and Southern Royal, Salvin’s, Black-browed, Campbell and White-capped Albatrosses, Westland, Cook’s and White- chinned Petrels, Buller’s, Flesh-footed and New Zealand (Red-breasted) Plover by Erik Forsyth Hutton’s Shearwaters, and Common Diving Petrel being a few of the highlights. Other major highlights included twelve New Zealand King Shag, a pair of Blue Duck with one chick, nine of the critically endangered Black Stilt, the rare Stitchbird, New Zealand Kaka, the entertaining Kea, range- restricted New Zealand Rockwren, the tiny Rifleman and lastly the striking Yellowhead, to name a few.

Introduction The Waitohu Stream, flowing from the Tararua Ranges to the Tasman Sea just north of Otaki (Figure 1), is a dynamic stream with a history of flooding and erosion problems. It has a catchment of 54km2 and the steepest average slope of the Kapiti Coast rivers (WRC, 1994). Under the mandate of the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941, erosion and flood mitigation work has been undertaken in the Waitohu Stream by the Flood Protection Group of Greater Wellington (the Wellington Regional Council) and its predecessor authorities (most notably, the Manawatu Catchment Board prior to 1989) since the inception of the Otaki Scheme in 1955.

  • Realigning Lifestyle
    REALIGNING LIFESTYLE An integrated approach to living, ecology and production within rural subdivision Monica Wong Realigning Lifestyle: an integrated approach to living, ecology and production within rural subdivision By Monica Wong A 120-point thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture Victoria University of Wellington School of Architecture 2016 iv ABSTRACT The Kapiti Coast is changing. The long awaited expansion of the state highway will see rapid growth along the coast and with it, the rural landscape will face a new set of challenges. As the demand for rural land increases, so does land-use tension. Productive land, which was once converted from an extensive wetland network, is slowly being redeveloped into residential subdivisions in order to fulfil an increasing demand for the country lifestyle. However, lifestyle blocks usually have little productive value and subdivisions fragment natural habitats and ecological systems. The typical method of dealing with land-use is the district plan, which designates the most appropriate land-use to the most appropriate area. However, despite good intentions, it has become increasingly apparent that this planning process is no longer reaching its desired outcome. This thesis will explore new strategies for designing rural-residential subdivision, aiming to address land-use issues through increasing diversity. Set in the beach hamlet of Peka Peka, the design investigates one of the last undeveloped areas of private coastal land in the district. This area is prime real estate, but also holds a high capacity for production. It is situated on the remnants of the Great Swamp, a large network of interconnecting wetlands that used to span the length of the coast, providing the potential to significantly increase the ecological value of this land.

    Kāpiti Island Gateway Centre Feasibility Study Final Report 5th floor Aviation House 12 Johnston Street P O Box 2515 Draft Wellington 6140 New Zealand 1 30 October 2013 Prepared for: Kāpiti Coast District Council and Department of Conservation P: 64 4 472 3114 F: 64 4 473 0020 E: [email protected] www.trctourism.com Executive Summary This report presents findings from a preliminary feasibility study into a proposed Gateway Visitor Centre for Kapiti Island. The Kāpiti Coast District Council and the Department of Conservation commissioned the study. A consulting team comprising TRC Tourism Ltd, Destination Planning Ltd and Pynenburg and Collins Architects Ltd undertook the work between May and September 2013. A Kāpiti Island Gateway Committee made up of iwi, business, government and community stakeholders has been set up to guide and oversee the work. The feasibility study was carried out concurrently and linked to the review of visitor information services by Destination Planning Ltd. The objectives of the Centre are to: 1. Significantly enhance the experience of visitors going to Kāpiti Island by providing ease of access, information and education about the Island 2. Increase the number of visitors to the Island while ensuring ongoing protection 3. Increase the profile of Kāpiti Island nationally in order to attract more visitors to the Kāpiti District as a whole An underlying motive for the Centre is to integrate District agendas for tourism, conservation, iwi Maori and business. Four options for achieving the objectives and the underlying motive were explored. Multiple potential locations for the proposed Centre were assessed and the study team’s consensus is that the existing site occupied by the Kāpiti Boating Club offers the best potential.

  • EPA Board of Enquiry Hon Sir John Hanley David Bunting, Environment
    EPA Board of Enquiry Hon Sir John Hanley David Bunting, Environment Commissioner Glenice Paine Mark Appledoorn Intro My name is Ruben Blok and I live at 79 Belvedere Ave, Waikanae. I am a Business Intelligence consultant with a private local firm and I create analytic reporting solutions for major private and public sector organisations throughout the Australasia. I am usually not too worried about government decisions but given my field of expertise and what I have witnessed with this project something very wrong is happening here and the information does simply not add up. I oppose the NZTA Makays to Peka Peka proposal and would like to tell you my experience and explain my findings. Lead Up We moved from Auckland to Kapiti (originally to Raumati South) in 2007 to start a family and fell in love with the community and surroundings. The combination of bush, beach, and lifestyle was an easy decision. We heard about KCDCs initial proposal to create a new alternate road and bridge to Waikanae I quite liked the idea. It seems a little crazy that you can almost walk to Waikanae from Paraparaumu Beach faster than you can drive (we tested it the other day). A year or two later we received the notification from NZTA that as part of the Roads of National Significance project they were planning to upgrade the existing SH1 to future proof the national grid. We again quite optimistic when we saw the proposals (WO and EO only) and chose option EO, upgrade the existing SH1, as it had minimal impact on the existing community leaving SH1 as close to its original location as possible.
