  • Aoraki/Mount Cook Long Term Community Plan 2009–2019 95 December 2009 of the Fibre Tanks Will Be Due for Replacement in 2011 and Four Will Be Due in 2017
    Asset information Summary ¾ Hino 4WD fire engine and equipment onboard (ladders, hoses, branches, portable pump, nozzles, tools). ¾ 6 sets of breathing apparatus, 17 tanks, and an air compressor. ¾ 16 uniforms. ¾ Monitored sprinkler and heat-sensor detection system ¾ Alarm system, sirens, and pagers. Description of assets The department provides assets to the industrial fire brigade. Key assets are the fire appliance (Hino FT 175LA 4WD fire engine) and the equipment carried on it: portable pump; hoses, branches and nozzles; six sets of breathing apparatus, air compressor and 17 air tanks; 16 uniforms; and radio and pager systems. A new fire-monitoring system was installed in the Visitor Centre in 2008. This system is used to monitor the status of some of the sprinkler systems and heat-sensor systems in the village, sending an alarm to the New Zealand Fire Service as well as activating pagers in the event of a fire. The monitoring service on the fire system is provided by an external contractor (ADT Paging Systems). Sirens can also be switched off or run manually, by fire brigade personnel. The New Zealand Fire Service audits the fire brigade periodically, and may recommend changes to be made to the operation of the brigade and its assets. The major asset upgrades and replacements that are anticipated to be required over the next 10 years are: ¾ The fire appliance. This is a 1987 vehicle vintage and has a standard working life of 25 years, which, according to the ‘standard life’ model, will require replacing in 2012. The appliance has been well maintained and has not travelled many kilometres since being stationed at Aoraki/Mount Cook village.

Villages include Tekapo, Mount Cook and Twizel. Location: Latitude 44º 00.5´ S, longitude 170º 28.7´ E (Tekapo Village). Elevation from 710m above mean sea level (Lake Tekapo) to 3750m above mean sea level (Mount Cook). General description: The core area is Mount John University Observatory (elevation 1032m) on the south-western shore of Lake Tekapo. Tekapo Village (population about 400) is 3 km from the summit of Mount John in a direct line. Twizel and Mount Cook Village are 40 km and 50 km from the summit respectively, neither being visible from Mount John. Inventory of the remains : The Mount John University Observatory houses four research telescopes of apertures 1.8, 1.0, 0.6 and 0.6m respectively. History of the site: The Mount John site was surveyed in the early 1960s using NSF funds from the University of Pennsylvania. The observatory was founded in 1965 as a joint astronomical research station of the Universities of Canterbury and Pennsylvania. The partnership continued for a decade. Cultural and symbolic dimension: The Mount John site is the principal astronomical observatory in New Zealand and the world’s southernmost observatory (other than instruments in the Antarctic).

Image credit: Johan Lolos Welcome to the Mackenzie Region The Mackenzie Region is situated at the heart of New Zealand’s South Island. It’s one of the most beautiful places in the country, with bright, sunny days and clear, starry nights. The land is sparsely populated (just over 4,000 people) and the amazing wide-open spaces are ringed by snow-capped mountains, including Aoraki Mount Cook, the tallest in New Zealand. Here, golden tussocks give way to remarkable turquoise-blue lakes, fed by meltwater from glaciers including the Tasman, the longest in New Zealand. This is the place to rediscover the magic of the night sky – the Mackenzie Region has been recognized as an International Dark Sky Reserve, the largest in the world and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. The Mackenzie is the perfect place to experience your New Zealand outdoor adventure, or simply to take in the pure, breathtaking beauty of the landscape.
