Individual Reserve Plans All reserves are required to be classified under the Reserves Act 1977. The use and management of each reserve area may differ, in particular with local purpose reserves and recreation reserves. Reserve use and management of a reserve is dependent upon the: a. Physical setting / size of a reserve. b. The social use of a reserve. c. The infrastructure required. d. What any possible development of that reserve area may entail. The Thames Coromandel District Council (the Council) has adopted a system whereby reserves are categorised according to their size and type of use, and management focus. This will allow Council to take a strategic approach in managing these reserve areas to provide opportunities based on natural, historic and cultural values, and recreation experiences of that reserve. Table 1 identifies these categories and aspects of management focus. Section 10 lists the other reserves that are covered by the generic objectives and policies found in Mercury Bay South Reserve Management Plan, including Ferry Landing, Cooks, Hahei and Hot water Beaches [Document 1].

Coromandel is supplied on a spur off a hard tee connection at Kaimarama and does not have its own dedicated 66kV supply circuit. Historically, the area has always been exposed to long duration outages particularly during extreme weather conditions. Proposed solution Powerco propose to install a new, ≈4km, 110kV-capable underground cable between Kaimarama & Whitianga on road reserve of State Project solution overview Highway 25. This will resolve the capacity constraint between Kaimarama and Whitianga supplying load to the three substations. It will also create a new dedicated 66kV circuit for Coromandel through the removal of the hard tee connection at Kaimarama. The existing 66kV bus 1 Forecast expenditure is based on Powerco’s financial year (i.e. FY19 is for the period April 2018 through March 2019).

  • A Showy Lily (Lilium Formosanum) on the Move?
    7 produced in its turn a mature form rosette with only 5 leaves a much smaller plant than that produced by the 5 mm tuber at the beginning of the study. This was in fact its last gasp. No new tuber formed and the plant died. The pollination mechanism is insect attractive but on some sites notably the western and southern coastal aspects of the Waitakere Ranges the plants are subjected to severe wind buffeting which is more than enough to shake the pollinia loose and deposit some grains on the stigma. Be this as it may all the flowering plants I observed set s e e d . REFERENCES Hatch E.D. 1949 Trans. R.S.N.Z. 77: p. 238. 1971 Auck. Bot. Soc. Newsletter Nov. p. 5. 1984 Auck. Bot. Soc.

Cameron In mid February 1986 on the Coromandel Peninsula I was struck by the showy roadside and sand dune weed Formosa lily (Lilium formosanum). It was present from the eastern end of the Kopu Hikuai Road north to Cooks Beach (just south of Whitianga) being more common north of Tairua. Along the highway it was growing in roadside gravel usually in small groups of separate plants many kilometres apart. On the sand dunes at Cooks and Hotwater Beaches the lilies were locally abundant and often close together. Flowering stems were about 0.5 m tall (sand dune plants up to 1 m) and had l 2 (4) horizontally held slender funnel shaped flowers 14 18 cm long; making it one of N.Z.s longest flowered wild plants.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.

History was made on Saturday last week when the Mercury Bay Senior A Marlins rugby team became for the first time ever the sole holders of the McClinchy Cup by beating Thames 12 - 10 in the 2021 Thames Valley Rugby Union club championship final. It was only the third time that the Mercury Bay Senior A team reached the final. With unrelenting wind and rain, the game was played in the most difficult circumstances imaginable. In 2015, the Bay shared the cup with Waihou after a draw in the final. This time was different. The cup will be displayed in the Mercury Bay trophy cabinet for a full 12 months. The emotion among players and supporters were visible when the final whistle went on Saturday. It was undoubtedly one of the proudest moment in the long history of a very proud club.

  • 2015-16 Speed Limit Review
    1 2015/16 Speed Limit Review Memo Information TO Infrastructure Committee FROM Sam Edlin - Roading Engineer DATE 12 May 2016 SUBJECT 2015/16 Speed Limit Review 1 Purpose of Report For the Infrastructure Committee to consider the proposed speed limits on Ferry Road and Hikutaia Factory Road, Hikutaia and Hikuai Settlement Road, Hikuai and provide a recommendation to Council. 2 Background Speed limits around New Zealand are currently calculated using the Land Transport Rule - Setting of Speed Limits 2003 (the Speed Limit Rule). The objective of the Speed Limit rule is to contribute to a safe and efficient road network by: Establishing speed limits of 50km/h in urban traffic areas and 100km/h on rural roads and motorways. Authorising road controlling authorities to designate urban traffic areas, to set speed limits other than 50km/h on urban roads and less than 100km/h on rural roads, and to set temporary speed limits associated with work on or near the road and for special events. Promoting national uniformity in speed limits by requiring road controlling authorities to apply a consistent method to translate national speed limits policy into a safe and appropriate speed limit for any given road. A safe and appropriate speed limit is one that: Is regarded as reasonable by drivers and residents. Matches the instinctive driving speed of the responsible driver as reflected by the 85th percentile measured speed Takes into account perceived, real and concealed hazards. Is willingly enforced by police (i.e. it is not expected that drivers will ignore the speed limits). Is consistent with national speed policies.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.
