Do you think we've got the balance about right?Through this Annual Plan we have tried to balance some key priorities on behalf of the community.  We need to support local people and businesses through the immediate impacts of Covid-19: Council has got balance about right We need a strong emphasis on economic support and job creation: Council has got balance about right We need to focus on our future challenges: This should be even more of a focus and Council should be doing more (give examples below) We need to relieve financial pressure and reduce the rating impact: This should be even more of a focus and Council should be doing more (give examples below) Q2. Please tell us why you provided that answer. It's really helpful if we can understand what you were thinking when you responded. Especially if you think we should be doing more or less of something. Keep in mind if we do more, we will need to reprioritise other things, or increase costs. I have commented in the comment box below. Lack of direct benefit for Maori constituents. Rate smoothing model is unfair. Abolish penalties on rates defaulting Q3. Is there something that is missing from our priorities? Given the big changes our District is experiencing at the moment, we have got a big workplan ahead of us. If you think there's something missing please let us know. But also don't forget to let us know your priorities for the District through "Future in Focus". Kia ora, While I understand this annual plan is going to be different to any other, I have 3 concerns with it. 1. Given the Whakatane district is approx 45% Maori, I don't see anything substantial in this plan that addresses Maori issues or would directly benefit the Maori constituency. 2. The rate smoothing model that council has adopted has given a select few land and building owners negative rates while the rest of the district have had an increase, some substantial. 3. I would like to see the penalty payment on rates defaulting abolished. It is ridiculous and prays on most of those who can't afford rates anyway. In my view the penalties also gives a false account of credit and debt on you books. 4 Respondent No: 9 Login: Anton Email: [email protected] Q1.

It identifies potential long term alternative State Highway 2 corridors to improve route security and efficiency between Matata and the State Highway 2/Wainui Road intersection. The site area is shown in Drawing 134960-P101. This is a seeping study only, and identifies preliminarily routes which could potentially be investigated in future. I) The existing State Highway 2 route from Matata to the State Highway Two/Wainui Road intersection deviates significantly from a direct route, resulting in inefficiencies, and as a result use of local roads by state highway traffic. II) In addition, the existing state highway route has route security Issues arising from flooding and the stability of key bridges. Bridge insecurity resulting from scour, overturning, and seismic failure are considered to be significant risks for the Ontrack owned State Highway 2 crossing of the Whakatane River (Pekatahi Bridge). The only alternative crossing of the Whakatane River Is on State Highway 30 (Landing Road Bridge).

  • Acidising Case Study – Kawerau Injection Wells
    PROCEEDINGS, Thirty-Sixth Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering Stanford University, Stanford, California, January 31 - February 2, 2011 SGP-TR-191 ACIDISING CASE STUDY – KAWERAU INJECTION WELLS Yoong Wei Lim1, Malcolm Grant2, Kevin Brown3, Christine Siega1 and Farrell Siega1 1 Mighty River Power, 283 Vaughan Road, Rotorua, New Zealand 2 MAGAK, 208D Runciman Road, RD2 Pukekohe 2677 New Zealand 3 GEOKEM, P.O. Box 30-125, St Martins, Christchurch, New Zealand e-mail: 1 [email protected]; ABSTRACT Brine at the Kawerau Geothermal Limited (KGL) plant was injected into three injection wells (KA43, KA44 and PK4A). Since plant commissioning, the capacity of the wells declined to the point where well intervention was necessary to avoid loss of generation. Investigative work was initiated with multi-rate injection tests which found that the injection index of the wells had declined significantly to approximately half of pre-utilisation levels. Further geochemistry analysis identified that the most likely source of injectivity decline was scaling due to colloidal silica forming in the formation. KA44 and PK4A were acidised using a standard 10% hydrochloric acid pre-flush followed by a 10%:5% HF:HCL mud acid solution. A 2” coil tubing unit with a 5 hole 45º nozzle bottom hole assembly was used giving a maximum pump rate of 3.5 - 4.0 barrels per minute. Feedzones were acidised one at a time starting with the deeper zones. Post well injection tests identified that the acidising Figure 1: Location of the Kawerau Geothermal Field had recovered the injectivity of the deeper feedzones but the shallower feedzones remain blocked with Silica precipitation at Kawerau has been a concern scale.

  • Kawerau Geothermal System Management Plan
    KAWERAU GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN February 2018 Prepared in Collaboration with Executive Summary The Kawerau Geothermal System is located to the north-east of Kawerau within the Bay of Plenty Region, and partially underlies the township of Kawerau. It has been substantially developed for industrial purposes pursuant to resource consents granted by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). This includes geothermal energy being used for electricity generation, industrial processes (direct heat) and cultural purposes. Bay of Plenty Regional Council has functions under Section 30 of the RMA for the management of geothermal resources. The Bay of Plenty Regional Policy Statement (RPS) requires the preparation of a System Management Plan (SMP) for the Kawerau Geothermal System as a key part of the way in which BOPRC intends to manage the Kawerau Geothermal System. This SMP has been prepared in collaboration with the four consent holders authorised to take more than 1,000 tonnes per day of geothermal fluid from the Kawerau Geothermal System, being: Mercury NZ Limited, Ngāti Tūwharetoa Geothermal Assets Limited, Geothermal Developments Ltd, and Te Ahi O Māui Partnership. Engagement has also been undertaken with tangata whenua and interested and potentially affected parties, including industrial operators using the geothermal resource. The purpose of this SMP is to ensure that the Kawerau Geothermal System is managed in a sustainable manner in accordance with the requirements of the RMA and the relevant policy and planning documents prepared under the RMA. The content anticipated in an SMP is set out in Policy GR7B of the RPS and includes objectives for its overall management and strategies to achieve the objectives The SMP is a non-statutory document and will be periodically reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and fit for purpose.

  • Kawerau AS and Other Blocks
    r RECEIVED CLADMIN lq '4.

I have produced research reports for the Waitangi Tribunal on Wai 247, 248, and 238. I have a law degree from the University of Otago in Dunedin and I am an admitted barrister and solicitor of the court as of October 1992. I completed some Maori studies papers while at the University of Otago and tutored Maori language for the department for three years. I was commissioned by the tribunal to produce this report in May 1992. This report concerns an ancillary claim to Wai 62. Wai 62 was lodged with the Waitangi Tribunal by John Henry Fox, Beverly Adlam, and William Savage of the iwi Tuwharetoa ki Kawerau, in 1988. That claim concerns lands confiscated by the Crown pursuant to legislation in the 1860s following the New Zealand wars.1 This ancillary claim to Wai 62 concerns Tasman Pulp and Paper Mill Ltd (Tasman) creating part of an effluent treatment system on land where the rangatira Tuwharetoa had a pa, and features other sites considered significant by Ngati Tuwharetoa. This report is confined to discussing the establishment of this system.
