It explains the progress on the projects and programmes the Council has committed to in the Long-term Plan 2012–2022 (LTP). The LTP, cast as “a Reality Check – More Must be Done”, is now through its second year with work streams having become increasingly integrated, and many well underway. Addressing water quality issues continued to be the Council’s top priority. Our Water and Land 2020 & Beyond project is both the Council’s response to the Government’s requirements in the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management (NPS), and the community’s concerns about Southland’s declining water quality. The project, which is a joint initiative with Te Ao Marama Inc, has been informed by farming, environmental and community groups. Water and Land 2020 & Beyond takes a long-term perspective and draws together a range of inter-linked work programmes. It is a 3-stage project that will eventually lead to the NPS requirement of limit setting – determining how much water can be taken out of rivers and aquifers and what quantity of contaminants can be discharged into them, without jeopardising water quality goals. Significant progress has been made on the first stage of the Water and Land 2020 & Beyond project – focus activities. These activities focus on good management practices, specifically in the areas of nutrient management, riparian management, winter grazing, hill and high country development, and will also include on-site wastewater systems (e.g. septic tanks). Plan Change 13 (New Dairy Farming) and Plan Change 14 (Landfills and Contaminated Land) became operative as part of this first stage. The second stage is also underway with the integration of science and policy programmes and the development of the Water and Land Plan. This stage is aimed at working towards “holding the line” on water quality to prevent further decline. Decisions on policies for limit setting will need to be informed by sound economic, social, cultural advice and robust environmental science, which will require a great deal of monitoring and modelling work. A large body of work is underway with a range of stakeholders that lays the foundation for assessing economic impacts of these policy decisions. Environment Southland has a strong tradition of working with others and shared service arrangements to improve efficiencies, and the recent securing of relationships and funding with external economic and scientific partner organisations will be of substantial benefit to stage 3 of the project. Significant progress has been made with the proposed Regional Policy Statement (RPS) in the past year, with staff reports completed to support the hearing of submissions. The RPS was initially notified in 2012. A RPS is the region’s most significant planning tool and provides a high-level overview that sets resource management direction for all local authorities in the region. It doesn’t contain any rules, but sets up a framework for city, district and regional plans, which sit below it in the hierarchy of planning documents. The Compliance Division has implemented the review recommendations and built on its processes, investing in staff training and different methods for assessing and reinforcing consent conditions. Compliance staff use a range of techniques including aerial and on-farm inspections and the approach is seeing significant improvements in perception and relationship building. Particularly pleasing is the decrease in significant non-compliance by dairy farmers with discharge consents, down to 6% this year compared with 11% last year. Page 4 In the Consents Division, two new staff and an overall focus on ensuring processes are efficient and effective will help to address the increase in resource consent applications. A number of process improvements have also been instigated, which is leading to improved performance across the year. Work around air quality has been an important focus as part of our commitment to protecting people from adverse environmental effects. The review of the Regional Air Quality Plan for Southland continued with a particular focus on the urban airsheds of Invercargill and Gore. These airsheds have not been meeting the Government’s National Environmental Standards (NES) and home coal and wood burners are the primary cause. The NES allows for only one exceedance a year and Gore has until 2016 to achieve this, while Invercargill needs to be down to three or less by 2016, and one by 2020. The Breathe Easy public awareness campaign for the air plan review continued as the review progressed towards proposed new rules for home heating, outdoor burning, and fertiliser and agrichemical use, which were subsequently notified on 6 September 2014. The campaign included consultation with stakeholder organisations and groups, mail drops to households in the affected airsheds and advertising. As well, a webpage dedicated to air, www.BreatheEasySouthland.co.nz was established. Many other regional councils have already put rules in place for improving air quality and Environment Southland has been able to learn from their experiences. Southland’s first State of the Environment report on air was completed in partnership with Te Ao Marama Inc. It brings together the full range of available technical information and values-based material on the region’s air. It provides context to some of our air quality issues, will help with future decision-making, plus more. Southland’s Air /Ngā Hau o Murihiku has been designed to have wide appeal as a community publication. Air quality monitoring continued in Invercargill and Gore. Winton was added to the air monitoring programme, with weekly advertised results during winter in the Invercargill Eye and The Ensign newspapers. Seasonal monitoring of bathing sites and shellfish sites also continued. Biosecurity work is part of the Council’s core services; minimising animal

  • 8 Day Southern Scenic Route
    8 Day Southern Scenic Route The Journey Few New Zealand road trips rival the Southern Scenic Route for diversity. Sure, it takes in Queenstown, Milford Sound and other landmark attractions on its wiggly ‘U’ through the deep south, but it also travels to quieter corners, with hidden gems just as likely to wow you. The Southern Scenic Route website paints a comprehensive picture, but read on for a hit-list of our favourite stops (often involving home-baking). Highlights of the trip Queenstown Te Anau Milford & Doubtful Sounds Bluff Day 1 Queenstown Frequently lauded as one of the world’s best mountain resorts, Queenstown lives up to the hype with a buzzy centre and beautiful lakeside setting. It also offers a bamboozling array of activities within easy reach including hiking and cycling trails, golf courses, wineries, and iconic must-do’s such as the TSS Earnslaw lake cruise and Skyline Gondola. It’s also campervan heaven, with plenty of holiday parks and reserves near the town centre. Day 2 Queenstown to Te Anau SH6 skirts Lake Wakatipu and meets SH94 to Te Anau. Sitting prettily beside the South Island’s largest lake and boasting seasoned visitor facilities including three top-notch holiday parks, Te Anau is a great base for Fiordland adventures such as world-famous Great Walks and Milford Sound. Attractions close to town include the other-worldly Glowworm Caves, and the conservation-focused Wildlife Centre, accessible by foot or hire-bike along the view-filled Lakeside Track. Reward yourself with a Miles Better Pie. Yum. SIDE TRIP - Milford Sound Pies aside, we’ll eat our hats if you’re not totally wowed by this spectacular drive through the beautiful Eglinton Valley (campsites, sandflies) and rocky narrows around Homer Tunnel.

Tuia i runga, tuia i raro, tuia i roto, tuia i waho, tuia te here tāngata. Ka rongo te pō, ka rongo te ao. Tuia ngā rangatahi puta noa i te motu kia pupū ake te mana Māori. Ko te kotahitanga te waka e kawe nei te oranga mō ngā whānau, mō ngā hapū, mō ngā iwi. Poipoia te rangatahi, ka puta, ka ora. The name ‘Tuia’ is derived from a tauparapara (Māori proverbial saying) that is hundreds of years old. This saying recognises and explains the potential that lies within meaningful connections to: the past, present and future; to self; and to people, place and environment. The word ‘Tuia’ means to weave and when people are woven together well, their collective contribution has a greater positive impact on community. We as a rangatahi (youth) leadership programme look to embody this by connecting young Māori from across Aotearoa/New Zealand - connecting passions, aspirations and dreams of rangatahi to serve our communities well. 1 Tuia Overview Tuia is an intentional, long-term, intergenerational approach to develop and enhance the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. We look to build a network for rangatahi to help support them in their contribution to their communities.

  • CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips
    CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips South-eastern Southland fieldtrip 19th March 2020 Welcome and overview of the day. Invercargill to Gorge Road We are travelling on the Southern Scenic Route from Invercargill to the Catlins. Tisbury Old Dairy Factory – up to 88 around Southland We will be driving roughly along the boundary between the Southland Plains and Waituna Ecological Districts. The Southland Plains ED is characterized by a variety of forest on loam soils, while the Waituna District is characterized by extensive blanket bog with swamps and forest. Seaward Forest is located near the eastern edge of Invercargill to the north of our route today. It is the largest remnant of a large forest stand that extended from current day Invercargill to Gorge Road before European settlement and forest clearance. Long our route to Gorge Road we will see several other smaller forest remnants. The extent of Seaward forest is shown in compiled survey plans of Theophilus Heale from 1868. However even the 1865 extent of the forest is much reduced from the original pre-Maori forest extent. Almost all of Southland was originally forest covered with the exception of peat bogs, other valley floor wetlands, braided river beds and the occasional frost hollows. The land use has changed in this area over the previous 20 years with greater intensification and also with an increase in dairy farming. Surrounding features Takitimus Mtns – Inland (to the left) in the distance (slightly behind us) – This mountain range is one of the most iconic mountains in Southland – they are visible from much of Southland.
