NZ Airports chief executive Kevin Ward says the association is confident that its Gisborne Airport proposal to assure the future of 12 local airports is a great example of the sort of investment the $1 billion Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) was set up for. The PGF aims to lift productivity potential in the provinces. Its priorities are to enhance economic development opportunities, create sustainable jobs, enable Māori to reach their full potential, boost social inclusion and participation, build resilient communities, and help meet “We can put a big tick in all those “The airport owners (mostly district New Zealand’s climate change targets. boxes,” says Mr Ward. councils) are fully committed to their “In fact, air links from the regions airports, but it is unfair on the local to the main cities will be essential community to shoulder the cost burden NZ Airports has to get most of the fund’s projects when road and rail projects receive running smoothly.” generous funding. identified the Mr Ward says that New Zealand “Air travel to the regions is part Airports’ FlyLocal NZ campaign has of the national transport system, airports at Kaitaia, been gathering support since it was like state highways.

The foams under investigation contain a banned chemical, perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS). This report describes the outcome of this initiative. PFOS foams were restricted in New Zealand in 2006 when they were excluded from the Firefighting Chemicals Group Standard1, meaning PFOS-containing foams could no longer be imported into New Zealand, or be manufactured here. In 2011, an international decision that had recognised PFOS as a persistent organic pollutant2 was written into New Zealand domestic law3. This meant, in addition to the 2006 restriction, any existing products containing PFOS could no longer be used in New Zealand, and strict controls were set to manage their storage and disposal.

  • Friday 9 January 1998
    10 JANUARY 2008 New Zealand national climate summary – the year 2007 2007: much drier than average in many places, but disastrous floods in Northland. Drought, destructive tornadoes, windstorms, variable temperatures New Zealand’s climate for 2007 was marked by too little rain in many places, and record low rainfalls in some locations. Rainfall during the year was less than 60 percent of normal in parts of Marlborough, Canterbury and Central Otago, with some places recording their driest year on record. Parts of the south and east, and Wellington, recorded one of their sunniest years on record too. The national average temperature was of 12.7°C during 2007 was close to normal. This was a result of some warm months (May being the warmest on record) offset by some cooler months. “Notable climate features in various parts of the country were disastrous floods in Northland with very dry conditions, and drought in the east of the North Island”, says NIWA Principal Scientist Dr Jim Salinger. “As well there was an unprecedented swarm of tornadoes in Taranaki, destructive windstorms in Northland and in eastern New Zealand in October and hot spells. Of the main centres Dunedin was extremely sunny and dry, and it was dry in the other centres.” “The year saw a swing from an El Niño to a La Niña climate pattern. The start of the year was dominated by a weakening El Niño in the equatorial Pacific. From September onwards La Niña conditions had developed in the tropical Pacific, with a noticeable increase in the frequency and strength of the westerlies over New Zealand in October and then a significant drop in windiness from November.

  • Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021
    Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021 Issue No. 17 | 1 Welcome to Bay Tours & Charters Leisure Guide As I write this, and we head into Christmas and the holiday season it’s hard not to reflect on what has been a difficult year for all of us. Not too many of us will be sorry to see the back of 2020. From a business perspective, there’s never been a more difficult time to be in the tourism industry. The international visitors are no longer here and who knows when they’ll be back. No more cruise ships stopping at Napier until further notice. And whilst some may say “Thank goodness for that. No more traffic nightmares in central Napier, no more hordes of people up Te Mata Peak!” the reality is that thousands of households in Hawke’s Bay rely on the income generated by tourism and a very significant chunk of that has simply disappeared. Napier, in particular, has relied heavily on tourism for decades and whilst the international visitors are no longer currently here, Kiwis have returned to Hawke’s Bay in droves and I suspect this summer, visitations to the region will have more of a family feel. Here at Bay Tours, whilst we certainly haven’t been immune to the huge drop in overseas visitors, we’re thankful for the continued success of the Tour Club. It has been truly heartening to look back at the last 6 months and recall how enthusiastically members responded to our first tentative steps to get out and about again after the lockdown.
