  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

The current situation Ruapehu District Council is small, serving a population of less than 12,000. It shares territory with two national parks, the World Heritage Tongariro National Park to the east and the Whanganui National Period of assessment Park to the west. Its major towns are Ohakune, Raetihi, and The assessment took place on 9 and 10 February 2017. Taumarunui. The resident population has declined but the Council believes that this has now stabilised. Tourism has grown in importance and is expected to continue to grow. Conversely, it is not anticipated that any future non-tourist business closures will have a substantial economic impact as there are few major employers left in the area. The Council is actively pursuing a strategy of developing tourism and being increasingly business- friendly. The current resident population is ageing, and there is a upward drift in the number of non-resident properties. 2 CouncilMARKTM $505m GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT1

  • Pre-Consultation on Proposed Appearance Industry Bylaw
    24 May 2019 Hutt City Council Private Bag 31912 Lower Hutt 5040 Tēnā koe Re: Submission on the pre-consultation on Proposed Appearance Industry Bylaw Thank you for the opportunity to provide a written submission on this consultation. Hutt Valley District Health Board (HVDHB) and Regional Public Health (RPH) see this as an important community issue and as such we have worked together to combine our voice on this matter. HVDHB is one of 20 District Health Boards (DHBs) in New Zealand. We work to improve, promote and protect the health of the people living in the Hutt Valley area and take the lead in planning, funding and providing public health services for our communities. RPH serves the greater Wellington region, through the three local DHBs, and as a service is part of the HVDHB. We work with our community to make it a healthier, safer place to live. We promote good health, prevent disease, and improve the quality of life for our population, with a particular focus on children, Māori and working with primary care organisations. Our organisations already work together on many aspects that impact the health and wellbeing of our communities, and we look forward to continued collaboration. HVDHB and RPH support Hutt City Councils Proposed Appearance Industry Bylaw. A recent report by RPH, which surveyed knowledge and infection control practices in salons offering nail service, showed an overwhelming need for minimum standards within the industry. We believe the proposed appearance industry bylaw will strengthen the ability of the Council to meet public health standards and improve the well-being of the community.
