ACCESSING CENTRAL NEW ZEALAND 8.1. The Governance Group met on 15 November 2017. The focus of the meeting was to receive updates on key projects being advanced within the region, with much of the discussion centred around the Manawatu Gorge Bypass. The group was informed of the business case work that the New Zealand Transport Agency was leading, and also of the work being undertaken by a Regional Technical Team, being a team made up of various officers from key agencies and operating on behalf of the Accelerate 25 Lead Team, to advance Option 4 as the preferred option. The Technical Team has been advancing the position that one of the key objectives of the project should be around connectedness and integration with the existing State Highway and local road network, to maximise travel time efficiency for key journeys and to maximise urban and industrial growth opportunities for Palmerston North, Feilding and the wider region. The team is of the view that this objective must be included in the project brief so that a true cost/benefit assessment can be taken of all projects, thereby ensuring the best “regional” 50-100 year solution is selected. 8.2. Updates were also provided on other key projects such as the Otaki to North of Levin (O2NL) project, and the Regional Freight Ring Road around Palmerston North. With respect to the O2NL project, there was much discussion around the importance of this project continuing, in light of its strategic connectedness benefits to the region, and to the Greater Wellington region. It was agreed that the new government must not lose sight of this and as such, a key action from the meeting was for all Mayors to sign a joint letter to the Minister of Transport, Hon. Phil Twyford, highlighting the importance of this project continuing through to construction. The letter would stress the importance of this project as it was identified as the second most important significant project in the region behind the Manawatu Gorge bypass. 8.3. There was also discussion on how Accessing Central New Zealand will form a key part of the Regional Land Transport Plan currently being reviewed (and discussed in a separate item of this agenda), in particular the realisation that that all projects being developed are done so in conjunction or in recognition of other work programmes so that key linkages between projects are provided for into the future. The group is firmly aligned on this point and will continue to work collaboratively to maximise investment potential for ACNZ work programmes and the region. 9. PASSENGER RAIL AND THE CAPITAL CONNECTION 9.1. There are two matters to update the committee on with respect to passenger rail and the Capital Connection. At the last meeting it was reported that the business case had been completed and submitted to then Minster of Transport Simon Bridges, seeking Crown funding of $6.2M over the next three years to retain the existing Capital Connection service, while a longer term 40 year solution for vastly improved passenger rail services for the lower North Island is investigated. Since then and due to the change of government, the business case has been submitted to the new Minister of Transport, Hon. Phil Twyford, and to local MP, Hon. Iain Les-Galloway with the same messaging and with a request from the Chair to meet and discuss this vitally important issue.

PALEOENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF QUATERNARY STRATA IN THE LEVIN AREA A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Quaternary Science at Massey University ALAN HENRY SEWELL 1991 ·-~-. - - ,.-.··,_·.:·.-· Frontispiece: Pencil sketch looking north from the Tararua foothills, south-east of Potts Hill, across the Tokomaru Marine Terrace and Manawatu River flood plain beyond. ABSTRACT Marine transgression during the Last Interglacial resulted in widespread inundation of the southern Manawa tu area. The Otaki Formation constitutes the relatively thick blanket of predominantly marine sand deposited at the height of the transgression and is now exposed in a partially dissected marine terrace abutting the Tararua Range. Sedimentation was controlled by basement block faulting related to a regional strike-slip tectonic regime on the south­ eastern margin of the South Wanganui Basin. Wave-induced longshore currents from the north-west supplied abundant sediment to the coast. North-east of Levin the Kairanga Trough, occupying a north-east-trending structural depression between uplifted basement blocks, formed the centre of an embayment during the transgression. Tide-dominated depositional processes predominated around the margins of the embayment. In the Forest Lakes area, the absence of seaward barriers resulted in an open wave-dominated coastline. Between Ohau and Shannon mixed wave/tide processes predominated. Stabilisation of sea level resulted in shoreline progradation which was especially marked south of Levin where a dune belt formed, mantling the coastal cliff and later migrating inland.

It has long been thought that the Ohariu fault "dies out" to the north in the Waikanae/Otaki area as a series of splays. However, in 1996 we discovered that the pronounced, 60 km long, NNE- to NE-trending topographic lineation that runs just inland of, and parallel to, the western flank of the northern portion of the Tararua Range between Otaki and Palmerston North is an active, right-lateral strike-slip fault. We name this newly discovered fault the Northern Ohariu fault because it appears to be the northern, along-strike, continuation of the Ohariu fault. Collectively the Ohariu and Northern Ohariu faults define a major active strike-slip fault that has a total length in excess of 130 km. Offset geomorphic features such as alluvial terrace risers and valley margins, and estimated ages based on soil and loess stratigraphy are used to constrain the timing, amount, and rate of movement on the fault.

  • September, October and November 2013 Consents
    SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 2013 In the past 3 months the consents team have been processing a number of large applications while it has been business as usual for the smaller scale applications. It has also been a busy time as development of the Nutrient Management consent process continues. CONSENTS Log Jam of large applications The team is juggling three of its largest applications at present. The review of the Palmerston North City Council (PNCC) wastewater discharge consent for Palmerston North has been notified. At the same time the Shannon Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) applications have been made which have also been notified, and which will likely be referred directly to the Environment Court, and the Feilding WWTP applications are almost complete and will be lodged before Christmas. We are very pleased that these three important projects are progressing. However it does create a logistical challenge to hear them all in a reasonable time period. At this stage there is a real chance that hearings could be required at about the same time which makes finding commissioners, evidence exchanges and internal staffing challenging Furthermore, these projects involve many of the same expert witness and processing these at the same time will no doubt be a burden on these people. The Shannon proposal will be progressed within statutory timeframes. The court has been critical of the protracted history of these applications and is keen to progress the matter. Ultimately the responsibility of processing the applications will be passed onto the court early next year. The PNCC WWTP review has been notified and a hearing is likely be scheduled in April/May at the earliest.
