  • River Gravel Extraction Compliance Report
    River Gravel Extraction Compliance Report Wiki Mooney, Environmental Compliance Officer and Steve Pickles, Principal Compliance Officer Environment Bay of Plenty Environmental Publication2005/07 April 2005 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN 1175 - 9372 Working with our communities for a better environment Environment Bay of Plenty Contents Chapter 1: Introduction ....................................................................................... 1 Chapter 2: Methodology...................................................................................... 3 Chapter 3: Extraction Volumes and Compliance....................................... 4 Chapter 4: Summary and Conclusion............................................................ 7 Environmental Publication 2005/07 River Gravel Extraction Compliance Report 1 Chapter 1: Introduction This report has been prepared to indicate the level of compliance in respect of consented gravel extraction from rivers in the Bay of Plenty region. This report covers the period July 2001 to December 2004. An activity involving the disturbance of the bed of a river is controlled by section 13 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and therefore requires consent. However, gravel extraction is normally undertaken away from waters edge so as to avoid any sediment contamination of the watercourse. In the Bay of Plenty region, the areas of high gravel concentrations are in the eastern Bay of Plenty rivers. In fact all of the resource consents for gravel extraction are for rivers located within the eastern Bay of Plenty. Individuals and companies who require large volumes of gravel for construction works and building foundations hold resource consents for such activities. Environment Bay of Plenty’s Operations and Rural Services Department also hold resource consents which enable them to remove gravel to prevent erosion and the exacerbation of flooding caused by build-up of the riverbed.

Ko te kotahitanga te waka e kawe nei te oranga mō ngā whānau, mō ngā hapū, mō ngā iwi. Poipoia te rangatahi, ka puta, ka ora. The name ‘Tuia’ is derived from a tauparapara (Māori proverbial saying) that is hundreds of years old. This saying recognises and explains the potential that lies within meaningful connections to: the past, present and future; to self; and to people, place and environment. The word ‘Tuia’ means to weave and when people are woven together well, their collective contribution has a greater positive impact on community. We as a rangatahi (youth) leadership programme look to embody this by connecting young Māori from across Aotearoa/New Zealand - connecting passions, aspirations and dreams of rangatahi to serve our communities well. 1 Tuia Overview Tuia is an intentional, long-term, intergenerational approach to develop and enhance the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. We look to build a network for rangatahi to help support them in their contribution to their communities.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • The Case of Kapiti Coast District Council
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association Getting an outdoor smokefree policy: the case of Kapiti Coast District Council Leigh Halkett, George Thomson Abstract Aim To explore how a smokefree parks policy was conceived, accepted and developed by and for Kapiti Coast District Council (KCDC). Method Thirteen people involved in the smokefree parks policy process for KCDC were interviewed in person during November–December 2008. Supporting documentation and websites were accessed and reviewed. Results In September 2008 the KCDC agreed to adopt a smokefree parks and playground policy, following an initiative from a smokefree coalition of several public health organisations. The policy was developed collaboratively by this coalition with input from the council, and was supported by key local organisations. The KCDC appears to have adopted a smokefree outdoor areas (SFOA) policy because of demonstrated public support, the relative simplicity and low cost of the policy, the success of similar policies elsewhere, and because of the alignment with desired community outcomes. The challenges included finding funding and allocating staff time for this project. There were also concerns with how the policy would be enforced. Conclusions A collaborative approach amongst health and community groups for achieving SFOA policies works well. The experience with council SFOA policies has considerable impact on the adoption of similar policies by other councils. To maximise this influence, information about the policies needs to be spread nationally by the health and local government sectors. Legislative efforts to reduce smoking and the exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) in New Zealand have included the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 (SEA) and the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Act 2003 (SEAA).

  • Anthropogenic Impacts on Waituna Lagoon: Reconstructing The
    i Anthropogenic impacts on Waituna Lagoon: Reconstructing the environmental history Sarai Cosgrove 2011 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Ecology at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand ii iii Abstract Waituna Lagoon is a shallow temperate coastal lagoon in Southland, New Zealand. The 1,350 hectare Waituna Lagoon and associated wetland system is of national and international importance for its unique ecology and the cultural values placed upon it. Waituna is opened to the sea ca. 1-2 times annually, during which time it becomes estuarine. This opening regime has been artificially managed since 1908, with an unknown impact on the lagoon. Since 2007, Waituna appears to have experienced rapid degradation and eutrophication, possibly due to intensification of farming in its catchment. It has rare, extensive beds of the seagrasses Ruppia megacarpa and Ruppia polycarpa, which have been lost from many similar systems due to eutrophication and sedimentation. Waituna Lagoon is currently under active management to preserve its unique ecology, and its restoration to a more natural state is being considered. This study aims to reconstruct Waituna Lagoon’s natural opening regime and Ruppia dynamics, as understanding the natural ecosystem is important for restoration. The hypotheses are: (1) that under a natural opening regime, environmental variations within Waituna Lagoon were less frequent but more extreme; (2) that Ruppia was not present in Waituna Lagoon under a natural opening regime; and (3) that Ruppia was not dominant in Waituna Lagoon under a natural opening regime. Three push cores (130, 83 and 64 cm length) were collected from the sheltered Shand Bay and from the wind-exposed, deepest site in the main lagoon.
