Optimum Projects has been engaged to design to the stormwater system and Grassroots Planning has been engaged to prepare the necessary Environment Canterbury (ECan) consents for the development. The application addresses the character of the land, the proposed stormwater discharge and earthworks undertaken in regard to the relevant provisions of the Land and Water Regional Plan, the Natural Resources Regional Plan and the Waimakariri River Regional Plan. The report includes an assessment of the effects on the environment as required by the Fourth Schedule to the Resource Management Act 1991. Summary of Application Details Applicant: Ratua Holdings Limited Owner: Ratua Holdings Limited Site Address: 468 Mandeville Road, Mandeville North Legal Description: Lot 1 DP 494992 Certificate of Title: 72543 Site Area: 6670m2 Zoning: Business 4 Zone Mandeville North Outline Development Plan Specific Site Provisions: Unconfined/Semi confined Aquifer Regional Consents Required: CON060 – Discharge of stormwater to ground from a contaminated site during development and discharge of stormwater post development. CON499 – Earthworks SITE DESCRIPTION The application site is legally described as Lot 1 DP 494992 and is held in Certificate of Title 72543. A copy of the Certificate of Title is attached as Appendix 1 to this application. The application site is located 9.5km west of Kaiapoi, approximately 6 kilometres north west of the Waimakariri River and approximately 18.3km northwest of Christchurch. The location of the site is shown in Figure 1 below. 3 Resource Consent 468 Mandeville Road, Mandeville North Figure 1 – Google Earth Image of Application Site The site is part of Council Plan Change 33, operative on the 14 December 2015, to rezone a small area of rural land located between Tram Road, McHugh’s Road, Mandeville Road and Ohoka Meadows to provide a business area that fulfils a local convenience function. The Overall Development Plan enables up to 6200m2 to be developed in a business form and the balance area within the ODP to be developed as Residential 4A and Residential 4B. A copy of the ODP known as the Mandeville North Outline Development Plan is attached in Appendix 6. Following the approval of the Mandeville North ODP the site remains largely undeveloped and maintains rural, lifestyle type typologies. Figure 2 below shows the ODP area. 4 Resource Consent 468 Mandeville Road, Mandeville North Figure 2- Mandeville North ODP The underlying land use comprises of a council reserve and a lifestyle block. The wider surrounding area comprises of a mix of rural, lifestyle blocks and standard residential development. A commercial orchard including council reserve land is located to the north of the application site and a former sewerage waste treatment plant is located to the east of the site at 933 Tram Road. A new residential subdivision is located directly east of the site and contains 5-7 large residential sites with an average area of 4300m2. Another recently developed subdivision containing rural residential properties is located on the opposite side of Mandeville Road in Truo Close. Several smaller streams and rivers cross the wider surrounding landscape, including the Ohoka Stream, Cust River, Eyre River and Cam River, including their tributaries. These wetlands are supported by numerous open drains and culverts which boarder private internal boundaries. Waterways flow in a south easterly direction and mostly drain into the Kaiapoi River, east of the application site. Geology The soil typologies as indicated by the Kaiapoi geological map, indicate ‘older post, glacial fluviatile gravel, sand and silt deposits’. Investigations carried out by Coffey including excavation of multiple test pits, encountered a geology of shallow silts between 3.1 to 4.8m below ground level, overlying sandy gravel. The inspection of pits indicated silty topsoil across the site to a maximum depth of 0.3m below ground level. The top soil is largely underlain by silty sandy gravel. Tests indicated that the gravels are ‘medium dense to dense’ in the upper 0.6m 5 Resource Consent 468 Mandeville Road, Mandeville North of the soil profile, and thereafter the relative density of the gravel has been inferred as “very dense’ based on visual observation during the excavation of the inspection pits. Groundwater The geotechnical investigations encountered shallow groundwater between 3.9 to 4.8m below ground level, and according to ECan data regional groundwater flows in an east to southeast direction towards the coast. The nearest surface water body to the site is the “Old Bed Eyre River”, approximately 2km south of the site. The site is located in an area of medium soakage. According to the GIS database, there are many groundwater wells in the area, with three known wells located at 450 and 474 Mandeville Road. The well at 474 Mandeville Road is 16.7m deep and is listed on the ECan database as being used for domestic purposes. Flooding The site is predominantly identified as a Low Flood Hazard area in the 200-year flood event (0.5% AEP flood event), which means that flood water may be up to 300mm deep in parts of the site. The proposed rule to set the floor levels of 400mm above the 200-year flood event (0.5% AEP flood event) is appropriate to mitigate the flood risk based on the localised rainfall modelling. Surface Water The nearest surface water to the site is a water race (artificial waterway) located on a neighbouring site fronting McHugh’s Road, located approximately 180m from the application site. The nearest named surface water way is Old Bed Eyre River located approximately 2km south of the application site. Ohoka Stream is located approximately 4km north east of the site. The application site is shown in Photos 1 and 2 below. 6 Resource Consent 468 Mandeville Road, Mandeville North Photo 1 – View of application site located behind the existing dwelling Photo 2 – Application site showing vegetation cover of long grass PLANNING HISTORY The site is located within the Mandeville North Outline Development Plan which was established under Council Plan Change, PC33 on the 14 December 2015. PC 33 rezoned a small parcel of rural land to Business 4, and Residential 4A and 4B. The purpose of the Plan Change was to provide a business area that fulfils a local convenience function of a limited size and manage the potential effects. 7 Resource Consent 468 Mandeville Road, Mandeville North RC 165330 was granted on the 21 December 2016 after a hearing held on the 19 December 2016 to establish a retail centre including a restaurant, pre-school, and vehicle fuelling facility,

  • Dear Cancern Member Earlier This Week Cancern Had a Very
    Dear CanCERN Member Earlier this week CanCERN had a very productive meeting with Fletcher EQR to develop our relationship and exchange ideas. One of the outcomes of this meeting is information that can be passed directly on to residents about EMERGENCY REPAIRS. Fletcher EQR really wishes to ensure all houses are safe, secure and weathertight as we move into winter and beyond and so we have worked together to provide the following checklists. Please note: This information is intended to go to our residents who require emergency repairs, as defined below, to make their homes habitable. Firstly if you have sustained new damage on 22 February you need to lodge a new claim with EQC (call 0800 326 243). When you call, tell EQC that emergency repairs are also required. If you did not make this clear when you lodged the claim, or are unsure, call EQC again. If your emergency repairs are valued under $2000 you can arrange the repairs yourself. Talk to EQC before you go ahead as they will need to authorise the works and may require a quote from the repairer. If your emergency repairs are valued over $2000 they will be allocated to Fletcher EQR to manage. The Hub office in your area will call you to arrange the repairs. This may take a week at the moment, particularly in badly affected areas. If repairs relate to chimney damage, and you have lost the primary means of heating your home, EQC will advise Fletcher EQR’s Clean Heat Hub. They will contact you regarding the winter heating aspect of your repairs.

  • Groundwater Pollution: Myth and Reality Implications for Rural Subdivision
    Groundwater Pollution: Myth and Reality Implications for Rural Subdivision A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Science m in the University of Canterbury by Virginia, K. Wilkinson (Gendie). University of Canterbury 1994 1 Abstract The extensive groundwater beneath the Canterbury Plains is an important source of domestic water. In some areas the potability of groundwater is at risk from high bacteria and nitrate-nitrogen concentrations. A combination of human use on the land with associated development in a growing District such as the Waimakariri, and an unconfined aquifer has led to groundwater pollution. This pollution is a perceived potential hazard and threat to the health and safety of rural communities of North Canterbury. This thesis explores the groundwater resource at Mandeville, North Canterbury, and assesses the pollution potential. It also discusses the perceptions of the different interested parties involved with groundwater and its quality. Management options and decision-making as they relate to this perceived problem are also discussed. This thesis has recognised that if this water resource is intended for future use, untreated, then holistic management of the groundwater and land resources is necessary. 11 Acknowledgements I wish to thank a number of people for their continued support throughout the year. These people have provided me with inspiration and come to my aid when necessary. Firstly, I'd like to thank my supervisor Professor Bob Kirk, for his constructive input. I would also like to thank Dr. Eric Pawson who helped with brain-storming in front of the white board, your input was most appreciated.

  • Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations
    Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations in New Zealand 1863 to 2010 Researched & Written by Juliet Scoble for the Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand JRS/291 © Juliet Scoble 4/2010 © Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand 4/2010 Introduction This document lists the names of railway stations and the dates they were opened and closed. Included are the dates stations were opened for goods and or passenger traffic before the lines were officially opened or handed over to the Working Railways Department. Often the Public Works Department would run goods and passenger services whilst the list was still in their custody. These services were operated by the Public Works Department's ballast engine. Goods were carried in Working Railway's wagons. Occasionally a passenger car or covered wagon fitted with seats were provided, but most times passengers were carried in Public Works' ballast wagons. I have included the stations on the lines owned by the government railways, and private lines where government rolling stock was run thereon. This is an on-going work as I am still looking through files and am finding more names and other information to include in this document. Revised versions will be issued from time to time, the frequency depending upon the new information I find. Juliet Scoble 4/2010 Acknowledgements Most information has been obtained from the Rail Heritage Trust's Station Archive created and researched by Juliet Scoble, and from research specifically undertaken for this document.
