Canterbury Restaurants, Hotels and Attractions Are Reopening in Christchurch After Recent Earthquakes canterbury Restaurants, hotels and attractions are reopening in Christchurch after recent earthquakes. Once you’re done exploring, the city is an ideal gateway for excusrions around the greater Canterbury region. By Kerry van der Jagt If a New Zealander tells you a hike is going to be easy, don’t trails believe him. He’s lying. Not a fib, but a whopper as big as the Southern Alps themselves. The mountain path we’ve been climbing for the last few hours has gradually morphed into a steep scree slope with a dizzying drop to one side. With legs and lungs on fire and the slate slipping under my boots, I’m grateful for my guide James’ reassuring hand. “Not much further,” he says, his nose growing by the minute. Finally, breathlessly, we make it to the summit of 1,522-metre Surveyors Peak, deep in the privately owned Puhi Peaks Nature Reserve on New Zealand’s South Island. The clouds part like a stage curtain and a great splash of light reveals the craggy peaks of the Seaward Kaikoura Range sparkling with their tiaras of snow. I can see as far south as Christchurch and across the ocean to the Kaikoura Peninsula while, in the distance, the legendary 2,590-metre-high Te Ao Whekere, or “World of the Gods,” stands like a signpost to the heavens. I add a small pebble to a rocky cairn and say a silent prayer for those who have walked before me, for those who will follow and for those who will never make it.

  • As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables
    NZSki “Life As It Ought To Be” As the NZSki CEO James Coddington looked out over the spectacular vista afforded by the Remarkables mountain range - taking in the New Zealand tourist hub of Queenstown - he contemplated the future for his company. “We’re at a tipping point,” he suggested, “things could go either way. We’ve been gradually building momentum over the last few years. But we have to keep moving forward. We certainly have room to cope with more skiers, but if all we do is get more skiers on the mountains we will actually reduce the customer experience from what it is now. That will mean less skiers in the future, a weakened brand, and the undoing of a lot of good work over the last few years.” Figure 1: New Zealand’s Ski Areas NZSki operated 3 skifields – Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in Queenstown and Mount Hutt in Canterbury. Recent growth since Coddington’s appointment in 2007 has been spectacular. The 2009 season was the most successful season on record. As a company, skier/rider numbers were up 29% over 2008 and revenue was up 22% - despite the economic recession. “When I began we were getting 180,000 – 200,000 people a year on Coronet Peak, but now we’re at 330,000. The biggest single day in 2007 saw around 4000 people, but this year we had 7777 people in one day. With our old infrastructure we simply couldn’t have coped – but the completely rebuilt base building, and completion of the snowmaking system and our investments in lift and pass technology have paid huge dividends in protecting the experience.

  • Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy
    Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy Volume 1 Published by Department of Conservation/Te Papa Atawhai Private Bag 4715 Christchurch New Zealand First published 2000 Canterbury Conservation Management Planning Series No. 10 ISSN: 1171-5391-10 ISBN: 0-478-01991-2 Foreword Canterbury is rich in its variety of indigenous plants and animals, its historic heritage and relics, and its landscapes. Its physical features are dramatic, ranging from the majestic Southern Alps to the Canterbury Plains, from forested foothills to rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. These features also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities. The Department of Conservation’s Canterbury Conservancy is responsible for some 1293 units of land, and for the protection of important natural resources generally. To help manage these resources and activities the Conservancy, in consultation with the then North Canterbury and Aoraki Conservation Boards, has prepared a Conservation Management Strategy (CMS). The CMS sets out the management directions the Conservancy will take for the next ten years, the objectives it wants to achieve and the means by which it will achieve these. The draft CMS was released for public comment on 18 November 1995. Submissions closed on 1 April 1996, and 174 were received. Public oral submissions were heard in May and June of 1996. Consultation with Ngäi Tahu Papatipu Rünanga occurred from July to December 1996, and with Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu from July 1996 to May 1997. A summary of submissions and a decision schedule indicating the extent of acceptance of all submissions was prepared and given full consideration in revising the draft CMS. The revised draft CMS and summary of submissions was presented to the Conservation Boards for their consideration.

A big thank you to the continued support of our resort partners Cardrona and NZSki who managed to operate which allowed our teams to continue training – to the envy of the rest of the world. The other resorts also ran Junior Interfield and National Points level races and this all contributed to us running a reasonable race season for the NZ athletes and coaches. One of the biggest lessons we learnt was how important it is to be ready and willing to adapt to change within an uncharted and fast-moving environment. However, despite the challenges of today, we are preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow as we navigate our pathway, delivering our services and work through this Olympic cycle.

  • REDCLIFFE Lease Number : PC 141 Conservation Resources Report
    Crown Pastoral Land Tenure Review Lease name : REDCLIFFE Lease number : PC 141 Conservation Resources Report As part of the process of Tenure Review, advice on significant inherent values within the pastoral lease is provided by Department of Conservation officials in the form of a Conservation Resources Report. This report is the result of outdoor survey and inspection. It is a key piece of information for the development of a preliminary consultation document. Note: Plans which form part of the Conservation Resources Report are published separately. These documents are all released under the Official information Act 1982. June 05 “RELEASED UNDER THE OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT” Conservation resources of Redcliffe Pastoral Lease, Canterbury Department of Conservation report on Tenure Review of Redcliffe under Part 2 Crown Pastoral Land Act 9 February, 1999 PART 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION Redcliffe pastoral lease covers 9,192 hectares of land on the southern banks of the Rakaia River between the junction with the Wilberforce River and the Rakaia Gorge. A central piece of the property of around 4940 hectares of the Mount Hutt Range has been retired and is to be surrendered once cadastral survey is complete. The area left over, once surrender is complete, is the only area that was assessed for tenure review, on the understanding that the retired area would in the future be administered by the Department of Conservation. Land adjoining to the east is Mount Hutt Forest (administered by DoC) and freehold (Cleardale), to the west Glenrock and Winterslow pastoral leases, to the north Redcliffe freehold (approx. 625 ha) and Crown river bed (Rakaia River).
