Introduction A. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed Selwyn District Plan1. 1. The Central Plains Water Enhancement Scheme2 provides water for community-scale irrigation, stockwater, firefighting, the Selwyn Near River Recharge Project, and some raw water supply to treatment works operated by Selwyn District Council. The water is provided by utilising run-of-river water from both the Rakaia, and Waimakariri rivers, supported by stored water from Lake Coleridge and a storage pond near Sheffield. The Scheme has capacity to provide water to an irrigable area of 60,000 hectares within a command area of over 100,000 hectares. This command area sits within the Canterbury Plains between the Southern Alps to the west, State Highway 1 to the east, the Waimakariri River to the north and the Rakaia River to the south. The total establishment cost of the scheme is in the order of $450 million (excluding on farm-costs). The scale of investment, and the increased productivity as a result of access to water, make the scheme significant to the Selwyn District, and arguably, the nation. 2. The Central Plains Water Trust3 was established jointly in 2003 by Christchurch City Council and Selwyn District Council to implement the Scheme. In July 2012, the Trust was granted resource consents from Environment Canterbury and Selwyn District Council to construct and operate the Scheme. The consents enable the Trust to take and use water for irrigation purposes as well as to construct and operate the Scheme. CPW as a company was subsequently established and is responsible for constructing and operating the Scheme, and for all consent compliance and reporting. For the purposes of this document, hereon the Trust and CPW are referred to collectively as CPW. 3. CPW is committed to creating sustainable value for its shareholders, employees, contractors, suppliers, business partners and the Selwyn District. To achieve this, CPW strives to be a leader in sustainable irrigation performance in New Zealand. 4. CPW works to ensure a net gain to the cultural and ecological health of the environment, which includes Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora and its catchment. We work to achieve effective integrated management of land and water; and to develop, implement and maintain systems for sustainable management that drive continual improvement. With this we: a) Meet or exceed applicable legal requirements; b) Understand, uphold and respect cultural heritage, Ngāi Tahu values in relation to water, the natural environment and other taonga; c) Encourage efficient use of natural resources, including reducing and preventing pollution and improving aquifer volumes by reducing reliance on groundwater; d) Enhance biodiversity protection by assessing and considering ecological values; 1 Referred to as "the Plan" 2 Referred to as “the Scheme” 3 Referred to as “the Trust” “Providing reliable and cost-effective water to achieve sustainable value” 3 | P a g e e) Engage regularly, openly and honestly with people affected by the Scheme and take their views into account in decision making; f) Develop partnerships that foster sustainability in the local communities and enhance economic benefits; g) Frequently review the Scheme’s performance and report to shareholders, the Trust and Regional Council; and h) Ensure compliance with our consent conditions by requiring a high level of water use efficiency, good management farming practices, water quality and quantity monitoring, environmental enhancement funds and various groups and committees overseeing the performance of the Scheme. 5. For CPW, sustainability is about ensuring that the Scheme is viable and contributes lasting benefits to society on a social, environmental, ethical and economic level. To this end, the Scheme infrastructure could be modified (subject to consents) to deliver water for other purposes, such as urban development and further recharge projects. CPW are also investigating the possibility of a water storage facility fed from the existing Headrace Canal to increase the Scheme reliability. 6. Accordingly, CPW has a direct interest in the development of an effective, clear and precise Plan for the Selwyn District. 7. For ease of use, we have structured our primary submissions in the order that the topic appears within the discussion document. Accordingly, these submissions are structured as follows: B. The specific provisions of the proposed Plan that this submission relates to and the decisions sought from Council, are as detailed in the table in Section B below. C. The outcomes sought and the wording used is a suggestion only. Where a suggestion is proposed it is with the intention of 'or words to that effect'. The outcomes sought may require consequential changes to the proposed Plan, including Objectives, Policies, or other rules, or restructuring of the Plan, or parts thereof, to give effect to the relief sought. We welcome the opportunity to further discuss any of the points with Selwyn District Council, should you wish for more information.

Examining the Canterbury region of New Zealand’s South Island between 1999 and 2010, New public management this paper focuses on the outcome of neoliberal reforms intended to achieve the political-economic imperative of Freshwater management environmental protection alongside economic prosperity. Linking the literature of multiple clientelism with New Local government Public Management, we use the concepts of ‘authority’ and ‘autonomy’ to evaluate the challenges faced by local government to implement its decisions to manage freshwater in this neoliberal context. The case study shows that local government struggled to attain authority and autonomy over freshwater under a New Public Management regime, which has resulted in the degradation of freshwater quality and quantity in the region. The paper concludes that the adoption of collaborative governance in response to the failures of New Public Management has the potential to entrench the problems it seeks to resolve. 1. Introduction post-NPM collaborative governance, and freshwater management in New Zealand? The paper proceeds as follows: Part 2 describes the This paper examines freshwater management in New Zealand’s methods. Part 3 constructs a conceptual framework through which to South Island region of Canterbury where New Public Management evaluate the empirical resources we draw on.

  • CPW Newsletter No 2
    May-June Update Central Plains Water was set up by Christchurch City and Selwyn District Councils in March 2000 to investigate ways to improve the security and prosperity of the Central Canterbury region through water management schemes that enhance ecological and recreational values while providing opportunity for agricultural and horticultural diversity. Further information can be obtained from the Central Plains Water website http://www.cpw.org.nz/ Central Plains Water project manager is Eddie Thomas, based at the Selwyn District Council, tel (03) 324 5859. Requests for further copies, previous issues and all other enquiries about the content of this newsletter should be directed to him. Wairiri Valley site selected for further study Wairiri Valley has been identified as the best site for a 1,000- hectare storage reservoir to serve a large irrigation scheme for the central Canterbury Plains. This site scored best from a technical point of view and also ranked well against alternatives considered by community representatives involved in the selection process. Based on initial studies, Wairiri appears to have a sound geological base, gives options for the transportation of water from the Rakaia River or Lake Coleridge and has a very small natural catchment, minimising the risk of the reservoir overflowing during heavy rain. Construction of a scheme is currently estimated at about $100 million. Detailed work on options for raising this money from stakeholders and others will be undertaken later this year. This is just one of the many questions to be answered before a scheme could go ahead. Glentunnel, Coalgate, Whitecliffs and surrounding communities have identified issues in relation to a large body of water sitting in their neighbourhood, Wairiri Valley landowners will require compensation, and many geological, environmental and cultural considerations will need thorough investigation.

    ANZSOG Case Program The Canterbury Water Management Strategy: ‘Smart management’ of collaborative processes (A) 2016-186.1 ‘You are poisoning our grandchildren!’ The woman confronted Dame Margaret Bazley in a Wellington restaurant. It was May 2010; the woman was from Christchurch, her anger an indication of the strength of feelings about the future management of Canterbury’s rivers, lakes and waterways. As the chair of a seven-person commission newly appointed to oversee the task, the high level of hostility came as no surprise to Bazley. The Canterbury community was vociferously divided over the ongoing management of what had once been seen as a limitless regional resource. Farmers wanted irrigation to expand their business, fishers and recreational river users were aghast at reduced and polluted water flows, Māori iwi1 were furious that traditionally important food sources were being treated like a drain. There was further outrage at the appointment of the Commissioners which followed the dismissal of all 14 elected members of the Canterbury Regional Council (usually known as Environment Canterbury or ECan). People marched in Christchurch carrying a coffin, mourning the Death of Democracy. This case study was written for Professor Brad Jackson, Victoria University of Wellington (VUW), by Dr Elizabeth Eppel, VUW, and Janet Tyson, Australia and New Zealand School of Government. It has been prepared from field research as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a managerial situation.

  • Primitive Accumulation and the New Zealand Dairy Industry, 1814–2018
    he past three-and-a-half decades of neoliberal Torthodoxy in New Zealand have been marked by the rapid expansion and intensification of the New Zealand dairy industry. In the years since direct agricultural subsidies and supports were removed in the mid-1980s, the national dairy herd has more than doubled and the area given over to dairying has increased by some 750,000 hectares. This relentless drive to intensify has come at a simply enormous environmental cost: New Zealanders, present and future, are being systematically dispossessed of cherished freshwater ecosystems and endemic biodiversity. In this paper, I argue that this is but the latest episode in a long history of often-violent dispossession that has been crucial to the historical development of capitalist agriculture in New Zealand. In so doing, I draw on Marx’s theory of primitive accumulation. | 11 Dairying, Dispossession, Devastation: Primitive Accumulation and the New Zealand Dairy Industry, 1814–2018 MATTHEW WYNYARD New Zealand has long enjoyed an enviable, if largely undeserved, reputation as being somehow pristine or unspoilt, or, in now-threadbare marketing jargon, ‘clean, green and 100 percent pure’. Such myths have become increasingly difficult to sustain in recent years in light of the rapid expansion and intensification of the dairy sector and the unfolding ecological catastrophe that has followed. This period has also been marked by a groundswell of public concern about the health of New Zealand’s freshwater ecosystems; indeed, a nationwide poll conducted by Colmar Brunton in December 2018 found that freshwater pollution was the principal concern of those surveyed, outstripping concerns over the cost of living, housing, child poverty, the health system, and climate change.

  • Regional Water Strategy for Canterbury, New Zealand International Association of Impact Assessment 2018 (ID 281) Bryan Jenkins S
    IAIA18 Conference Proceedings | Environmental Justice in Societies in Transition 38th Annual Conference of the International Association for Impact Assessment 16-19 May 2018 | Durban Intl. Convention Center | Durban | South Africa | www.iaia.org Regional Water Strategy for Canterbury, New Zealand International Association of Impact Assessment 2018 (ID 281) Bryan Jenkins Sustainability Strategist, Adelaide, Australia Abstract Irrigation expansion in Canterbury New Zealand resulted in cumulative effects of water extraction reaching sustainability limits, and land use intensification compromising water quality. Analysis of future requirements indicated that weekly demand from run-of-river irrigation schemes could not be met from available flows. Annual demand could be met but required storage. However, there were concerns about impacts of dams on rivers. Groundwater depletion was reducing flows in groundwater-fed streams degrading ecological health. Environmental flows in rivers were being compromised by water extraction. Modelling of nitrate leaching from land use intensification predicted groundwater nitrate levels exceeding drinking water standards. Lake modelling indicated catchment contaminant loads exceeding water quality criteria. A regional sustainability strategy process was developed based on collaborative governance and nested adaptive systems requiring new approaches to consultation, strategy development and sustainability appraisal. Strategic thinking shifted from water for irrigation to ten water management issues reflecting
