  • Rail Heritage Managed by the Department of Conservation West Coast „ Charming Creek Walkway, 1910-1958, Near Westport
    Prepared by Paul Mahoney, National Coordinator Rail Heritage managed by the Historic Heritage, Department of Conservation. Department of Conservation June 2007 The Department manages a diverse range of rail heritage sites that are becoming increasingly popular. In 2007 the Automobile Association asked over 20,000 New Zealanders to identify the '101 Must-Do’s for Kiwis' — places they most wanted to visit. Of all DOC's historic sites two rail heritage sites were the most popular; the Central Otago Rail Trail (14th) and the Karangahake Mines (42nd). Rail heritage sites are different from static museums and operating lines. They offer an adventure experience exploring remote and scenic trails, adding diversity to the overall rail heritage scene and providing further entry points to trigger peoples potential interest. DOC’s sites include an industrial railway focus; timber, gold, coal, and even lighthouses, and so preserve another category of rail heritage. The Department shares the expertise of its heritage program, such as the results of scientific research into materials conservation; stone, wood and metal. These 31 DOC sites are open to visitors: AucklandAuckland Kauri Timber Co tramline, 1925-40, Whangaparapara, Great Barrier Island. Route of bush tram 14km long.

  • What You Need to Know About Our Mining Activities Before You Purchase a Property in Waihi
    What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi OceanaGold is mining under residential properties in Waihi East and also has consent to mine in other areas. Here is what you need to know if you are considering purchasing a property in Waihi. CEPA We are mining in the area inside the yellow line in Waihi East. This area is known as CEPA, the Correnso Extended Project Area. We are allowed to mine underground anywhere in this area. The top of the Correnso mine is at least 130 metres below the surface. This is about the same distance from the Sky Tower glass observation deck to the street. Before we tunnel under any property inside the CEPA area we must offer the property owner an ex gratia payment of 5% of the current market value of the property. Before we mine under a property we must offer the property owner the same ex gratia payment or the option of us purchasing the property at current market valuation. If the property you are considering purchasing has already received an ex gratia payment this should be recorded on the LIM report. In the event that we mine under the property and offer to purchase it, the ex gratia payment will be deducted from the amount we offer. This does not apply to a sale on the open market. We advise that you check the LIM of any property you are considering purchasing.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.
