    DISTRICT PLAN REVIEW CHAPTER 26: HISTORIC HERITAGE SUBMISSION TO THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL 23 OCTOBER 2015 1. BACKGROUND TO IPENZ The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) is the lead national professional body representing the engineering profession in New Zealand. It has approximately 16,000 Members, and includes a cross-section of engineering students, practising engineers, and senior Members in positions of responsibility in business. IPENZ is non-aligned and seeks to contribute to the community in matters of national interest giving a learned view on important issues, independent of any commercial interest. As the lead engineering organisation in New Zealand, IPENZ has responsibility for advocating for the protection and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. IPENZ manages a Heritage Register and a Heritage Record for engineering items throughout New Zealand. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Register has criteria and thresholds similar to Category 1 historic places on Heritage New Zealand’s New Zealand Heritage List/Rārangi Kōrero. Items on our Register have been assessed as being engineering achievements of outstanding or special heritage significance. IPENZ is still populating the Register. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Record includes histories of industrial and engineering items around New Zealand, and is also subject to ongoing improvements and additions. 2. GENERAL COMMENTS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The scheduling of heritage places in the District Plans of local authorities is an important mechanism that IPENZ supports because of our objective of promoting the protection, preservation and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. The Queenstown Lakes District has a very rich heritage and in particular has a wealth of industrial and engineering heritages sites because of the area’s early mining, agricultural and pastoral history and its challenging topography.

  • Enhancing the Conservation Value of the Birchwood Wetland
    Enhancing the Conservation Value of the Birchwood Wetland Robyn Newham and Courtney Quirin A report submitted in partial fulfilment of the Post-graduate Diploma in Wildlife Management University of Otago Year 2007 University of Otago Department of Zoology P.O. Box 56, Dunedin New Zealand WLM Report Number: 203 Enhancing the Conservation Value of the Birchwood Wetland Robyn Newham Courtney Quirin 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Birchwood wetland area has recently been included within the Ahuriri Conservation Park in the MacKenzie Basin, South Island, New Zealand. The wetland area is ranked as an ‘outstanding’ site of wildlife interest, providing breeding grounds for black stilt, black-fronted tern, large wrybill and Australian bittern populations, in addition to providing essential habitat for other waterfowl. However, past anthropogenic activities, such as drainage, recreation and introduced species, have degraded the Birchwood wetland. The aims of this research and management proposal attempt to increase the productivity of the wetland system, which serves to expand and improve the suitability of habitat for target birds and to enhance the awareness of the public through conservation education. Our research and management plan draws on past wetland enhancement strategies, in addition to incorporating site specific data and original thought. Recommendations A combined ecological and social approach to the management of the Birchwood wetland was proposed. ECOLOGICAL o Due to the complete lack of information about the ecological processes within the wetland, intensive research of the hydrology, geology, invertebrate and vegetation composition was recommended. o Research is critical as modification to the landscape and system may have serious long-term consequences to the Birchwood wetland and neighboring ecological systems.
