The information was collected by survey and interview and these are summarised within the report. During the completion of the report, I have attempted to illustrate the nature of historical delivery of primary healthcare in rural Southland. The present position and the barriers that are imposed on service provision and sustainability I have also highlighted some of the issues regarding expectations of medical service providers and their clients, re funding and manning levels The Goal; "A well educated (re health matters) and healthy population serviced by effective providers". As stated by the Chris Farrelly of the Manaia PHO we must ask ourselves "Am I really concerned by inequalities and injustice?

  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

Following an initial assessment of the soils where the TMW would be applied, a lysimeter trial was set up at Lincoln University in December 2014. This trial comprised 18 50 cm x 70 cm lysimeters containing intact soil cores from the golf course at Duvauchelle (12 lysimeters) and an area between Takamatua and Akaroa (6 lysimeters). The soils from Duvauchelle and Takamatua were Barry’s soil and a Pawson silt loam, respectively.

  • Waste Options in Rural Southland
    Waste Options in Rural Southland armers have always been great at giving new life to old materials, but there is plenty Fmore that can be done to improve waste management on the farm. Southland has a variety of waste facilities ranging from recycling centres where people freely drop off recyclables to waste transfer stations that accept household and commercial rubbish. Rural Refuse Collection Rural properties have several options for rubbish collection. Private contractors that offer collection services are listed in the yellow pages under ‘Waste Disposal’ and ‘Recycling’. However it could be just as easy to take your rubbish/recycling to the nearest transfer station, or recycling to your local recycling centre. Waste Transfer Stations Waste Transfers Stations are for the disposal of rubbish, greenwaste (garden waste), scrap metal recyclables, pre-loved materials and small quantities of hazardous chemicals. Some fees do apply. • Lumsden Transfer Station, 35 Oxford Street, Lumsden • Otautau Transfer Station, 5 Bridport Road, Otautau • Riverton Transfer Station, 1 Havelock Street, Riverton • Gore Transfer Station, Toronto Street, Gore • Invercargill Waste Transfer Station, 303 Bond Street, Invercargill • Bluff Transfer Station, 75 Suir Street, Bluff • Wyndale Transfer Station, 190 Edendale Wyndham Road, Edendale • Winton Transfer Station, 193 Florence Road, Winton • Te Anau Transfer Station, Te Anau Manapouri Highway, Te Anau Recycle Drop-off Centre There are recycle drop-off centres located throughout the district for household recyclables.
