Appendix 1A: Schedule of Outstanding Natural Features Appendix 1A – SCHEDULE OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL FEATURES APPENDIX 1A: SCHEDULE OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL FEATURES (Reference: Part 3 District Wide Provisions, Section 12.1 Landscapes and Natural Features and Resource Maps) The Council is required under the Act to protect outstanding natural features and landscapes from inappropriate subdivision, use and development. There are a wide variety of human activities that may threaten the natural character, or continued existence, of important natural features within the District. In order to retain the scientific, educational and amenity values of sites of outstanding natural and geological significance, the Council has identified such sites in this Schedule and on the Resource Maps. The major source of information has been the “Inventory (and maps) of Important Geological Sites and Landforms in the Northland Region”, Geological Society of New Zealand unpublished report 95/2, edited by J Kenny and B Hayward (1995). This Inventory lists the best examples of the wide diversity of physical features and processes that together characterise New Zealand’s long and complex geological history, the formation of its landforms and evolution of its unique biota. It was compiled using the combined knowledge and advice of a large sector of the geological, geomorphological, speleological and soil science community of New Zealand. The Schedule below gives each site’s name, a brief description, the site’s significance and rating, a grid reference and map number. The rating signifies the site’s importance and vulnerability. Sites are listed in the Schedule under three levels (A-C) of significance: A International Site of international scientific importance B National Site of national scientific, educational or aesthetic importance C Regional Site of regional scientific, educational or aesthetic importance. Each site has been given a vulnerability classification (1 - 4) depending on its perceived vulnerability to human activities: 1 highly vulnerable to complete destruction or major modification by humans; 2 moderately vulnerable to modification by humans; 3 unlikely to be damaged by humans; 4 could be improved by human activity. Eighty (80) natural landforms have been identified in the Far North District and are listed in this Schedule for their scientific, educational or scenic values. Three (3) sites have been assessed to be of international importance: Motukokako (Piercy) Island scarn with babingtonite and ilvaite; Camp Bay mylonite; and Marble Bay Permian fusulines and corals. A further twenty nine (29) sites have been assessed to be of national importance. Three (3) sites have been assessed as highly vulnerable to human damage or destruction: Hokianga sand dunes, Te Paki sand dunes and Runaruna mud volcano. In addition, nineteen (19) sites are considered to be very fragile and should therefore receive maximum protection. These have been marked with a (^) in the Table below. A number of sites listed are too small to show the exact extent of them on the Resource Maps. These sites, marked with a (*) on the Table below, have been shown as a single “point” feature on the Maps rather than as a defined area. For more detailed information on the outstanding natural features listed in the Schedule, readers are directed to the Inventory published by the Geological Society of New Zealand (referred to above). This Inventory does not form part of the Plan.

Hi Tung Jung Members Trust this newsletter finds you all well. In the past few months in Wellington, we have experienced a huge storm with wind gusts exceeding the Wahine storm and causing much damage and disruption to our city. On top of this we were hit with a number of earthquakes which really shook us up and left us wondering when the proverbial Big One would come. It was however good for the supermarkets because everyone stocked up on bottled water, candles, canned foods, batteries and torches. OK for some?

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. A SOCIAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE NEW ZEALAND HORSE CAROLYN JEAN MINCHAM 2008 E.J. Brock, ‘Traducer’ from New Zealand Country Journal.4:1 (1880). A Social and Cultural History of the New Zealand Horse A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Carolyn Jean Mincham 2008 i Abstract Both in the present and the past, horses have a strong presence in New Zealand society and culture. The country’s temperate climate and colonial environment allowed horses to flourish and accordingly became accessible to a wide range of people. Horses acted as an agent of colonisation for their role in shaping the landscape and fostering relationships between coloniser and colonised. Imported horses and the traditions associated with them, served to maintain a cultural link between Great Britain and her colony, a characteristic that continued well into the twentieth century. Not all of these transplanted readily to the colonial frontier and so they were modified to suit the land and its people. There are a number of horses that have meaning to this country. The journey horse, sport horse, work horse, warhorse, wild horse, pony and Māori horse have all contributed to the creation of ideas about community and nationhood. How these horses are represented in history, literature and imagery reveal much of the attitudes, values, aspirations and anxieties of the times.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • Lake Monitoring
    LAKE MONITORING LAKE MONITORING The large number of small and generally shallow lakes and wetlands in Northland are a precious resource to our region. Many of these are small dune lakes near the coast of which Lake Taharoa north of Dargaville is one of the largest with a few larger volcanic lakes inland such as Omapere and Owhareiti. These lakes and wetlands provide important habitat for a range of plant and animal species, many of which are regionally or nationally significant. Many of these lakes are also valuable for recreational users, cultural reasons, as water supplies and for their own natural beauty. Performance targets ••• Operate a region-wide water quality network for the measurement, recording and reporting of lake quality trends ••• Water quality, weed and algae monitoring of Lake Omapere and associated community liaison and advice, including the ongoing development and co- ordination of a lake catchment management plan Outcomes for 2005-2006 ••• A Lake Water Quality Monitoring Network for Northland has been developed and water quality monitoring on the 31 lakes in the network started in 2005 -2006 (refer to page 2). The 2005 – 2006 results showed that of the 31 lakes sampled 71% of them are in a eutrophic state or worse, meaning they have high nutrient and algae levels and poor water clarity. ••• Ongoing monitoring of water quality, algae, fish and plants in Lake Omapere has been carried out as part of the Lake Omapere Restoration and Management Project (refer to page 10). Annual Monitoring Report 2005-2006 1 Northland Regional Council LAKE MONITORING Lake Water Quality Monitoring Network In 2004-2005, Northland Regional Council engaged the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) to assist the council with gathering information to determine the status of 65 lakes throughout Northland.
