ISBN 978-0-478-37633-3 Prepared by Scott Wilson and Jens Rekker Published March 2012 Groundwater Exploration in the Ida Valley i Foreword Groundwater in Otago is frequently the sole or major source of water to supply basic water needs to communities and stock watering. Currently groundwater only supplies a small proportion of irrigation needs, however there is increasing pressure for people to turn to groundwater because surface water supplies are heavily allocated. Otago Regional Council’s Regional Policy Statements for Water provide for the Otago people and communities having access to water for their present and reasonably foreseeable needs. The Ida Valley is in one of the driest parts of the region and new groundwater sources would be a valuable asset. This report provides an assessment of the likely availability of sustainable sources of groundwater, based on geological data, geophysical surveying and drilling exploratory bores. The results will assist the community make better informed decisions in selecting future sites for potential groundwater abstraction. ii Groundwater Exploration in the Ida Valley Groundwater Exploration in the Ida Valley iii Executive summary Exploration for groundwater resources was carried out in the Ida Valley during 2011. In the valley, existing water supplies are mostly sourced from the water races, and there is a great deal of pressure placed on surface water resources.

Following a wide-ranging exchange of views, the meeting agreed on the need for a body which might represent the views of St Bathans residents and ratepayers to the statutory authorities. In consultation with community members, a Working Party developed a draft constitution which defined the area of community interest, clearly perceived as inclusive of permanent residents in the village precinct, absentee village property owners, farmers and property owners in the surrounding area who identified St Bathans as the focal point of their community. The draft also proposed objectives which included informing the community of matters of communal interest, gathering community views, developing a shared vision, representing that vision, together with other views, to statutory authorities, coordinating community efforts toward achieving agreed goals and priorities and applying for and managing monies on behalf of the St Bathans Community.

ISBN 978-0-478-37621-0 Prepared by Scott Wilson and Xiaofeng Lu Published December 2011 Rainfall recharge assessment for Otago groundwater basins i Foreword Groundwater in Otago is frequently the sole or major source of water to supply basic water needs to communities and stock watering. Currently groundwater only supplies a small proportion of irrigation needs, however there is increasing pressure for people to turn to groundwater because surface water supplies are heavily allocated. Over abstraction can result in loss of supply to other users and therefore careful management is required to keep abstraction rates sustainable. Groundwater resources have varying rates of recharge and often form a complex dependency with adjacent water courses, wetlands and stream networks. The effects of inappropriate land and water use and development on groundwater quantity and quality are often long term, and in some cases permanent. It is therefore important that particular consideration be given to the protection of aquifers for the continuing benefit of present and future generations. Through the Regional Plan: Water we ensure linkage with the community to deliver the efficient use and protection of our groundwater aquifers. This report provides an assessment of the amount of rainfall recharge to some of the regions main aquifers.

  • Lucerne Cultivar Comparisons: Herbage Yields Under Irrigation and on Dryland in Central Otago
    LUCERNE CULTIVAR COMPARISONS: HERBAGE YIELDS UNDER IRRIGATION AND ON DRYLAND IN CENTRAL OTAGO D.W. Brash Agricultural Research Division, Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Alexandra. ABSTRACT The recognition of bacterial wilt in the early 1970's and the arrival of blue-green lucerne aphid and pea aphid in 1976 gave rise to the need to find resistant cultivars to replace the susceptible local standard, Wairau. Herbage yields of alternative lucerne cultivars were therefore evaluated between 1976 and 1985 at 31ocations in Central Otago near Lowburn (border-dyke irrigated, two experiments), and at Bannockburn and Oturehua (dryland). Although yields of all irrigated cultivars were high in the first production year (15-17 t DM/ha), the impact of disease (bacterial wilt, verticillium wilt and phytophthora root rot) quickly highlighted cultivar differences and the irrigated experiments continued only for four years. The most productive cultivars under border-dyke irrigation were Washoe, WL220, WL311 and WL318. Establishment was slow at the semi-arid (400-500 mm rainfall) dryland sites and, as a result, herbage yields were first measured at Bannockburn in the fourth year after sowing and in the third year at Oturehua. Many cultivars were higher yielding than Wairau in every year but outyielded it significantly in only one or two years. There were no major pest or disease problems at either dryland site and all cultivars persisted well. Variable spring-summer rainfall patterns markedly influenced growth and annual herbage yields ranged from 2 to 13 t DM/ha. Additional Key Words: bacterial wilt, verticillium wilt, phytophthora root rot, border-dyke irrigation INTRODUCTION For many years the lucerne cultivar Wairau produced (experiment 4) was on a Eweburn mottled fine sandy loam and persisted well in Central Otago.

  • Draft Ida Valley Community Response Plan
    // IDABURN // OTUREHUA // IDA VALLEY// POOLBURN // MOA CREEK // Community Response Plan Central Otago Gets Ready It’s Time to Get Ready Gets Ready is a tool that will allow Council to send real-time alerts during an emergency, lets people register friends or whānau that may need extra assistance in an emergency, lets people register skills, resources or aid that they can provide during an emergency, and helps prepare neighbourhoods to be part of a coordinated community response. It functions as both a website and mobile app that provides features to support neighbourhood support groups, the emergency operations centre, council staff and the community. This is relevant across day-to-day life, minor incidents such as boil water notices or fire bans and major emergency events such as earthquakes or floods. Gets Ready emerged out of the Darfield community in the aftermath of the first Christchurch earthquake. They realised there was a need for better tools to work together. Out of this, Gets Ready was created with the aim of increasing community resilience, strengthening neighbourhood networks, and building partnerships between emergency services and the community. The Otago Civil Defence Emergency Management Group has signed Central Otago up to pilot the tool with a vision to roll it out across the Otago region. We are now ready for YOU and your neighbourhood to sign up and be added to the database. It will only take a matter of minutes and you will only be sent alerts relevant to the address you record.

  • Central Otago Environmental Society 3381 Ida Valley- Omakau Road Oturehua 9387 Central Otago
    Central Otago Environmental Society 3381 Ida Valley- Omakau Road Oturehua 9387 Central Otago Ms Sarah Gardner Chief Executive Otago Regional Council 70 Stafford Street Private Bag 1954 Dunedin 9054 30th June 2020 Dear Sarah, You will be aware of the danger of a perception of conflict of interest in decision making of public entitites such as the Otago Regional Council. The Auditor General’s guidelines on what constitutes a conflict of interest contains the following parameters: 2.1 As already noted, in the public sector there is a conflict of interest where: A member's or official's duties or responsibilities to a public entity could be affected by some other interest or duty that the member or official may have. This is the key test to keep in mind. The remainder of this Part discusses aspects of this test in more detail. 2.2 Another way of considering whether a conflict of interest may exist is to ask: Does the member's or official's other interest create an incentive for them to act in a way that may not be in the best interests of the public entity? 2.3 However, that question does not always provide a complete answer because the issue is not confined to considering the possibility of financial loss or other direct disadvantage to the public entity. Sometimes it can relate to the risk that a member or official could: • use publicly funded resources or time to advance their own other interests; or • be influenced in their decision-making by a sense of loyalty or obligation to someone else, or by an unduly fixed view.
