Trustpower Ltd Motukawa HEP Scheme Monitoring Programme Monitoring Report 2010-2014 Technical Report 2014-79 ISSN: 0114-8184 (Print) Taranaki Regional Council ISSN: 1178-1467 (Online) Private Bag 713 Document: 1431923 (Word) STRATFORD Document: 1460648 (Pdf) March 2015 Executive summary Trustpower Limited (Trustpower) operates the Motukawa hydroelectric power (HEP) scheme in the Manganui River and Waitara River catchment. Trustpower draws water from behind a weir on the Manganui River near Tariki and diverts this water through a race to Lake Ratapiko and then through penstocks to the Motukawa Power Station. The power station discharges into the Makara Stream, a tributary of the Waitara River. Consents for the Motukawa HEP scheme allow Taranaki Generation Ltd to maintain structures, to take, divert and discharge water, and to disturb the bed of Lake Ratapiko. This report for the period July 2010-June 2014 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess Trustpower’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the results and environmental effects of their activities. Trustpower holds a total of 23 resource consents, which include a total of 176 conditions setting out the requirements that the Company must satisfy. The Company holds five consents to allow it to take and use water, five consents to discharge water or sediment into the Makara, Mangaotea, and Mako streams, one consent to discharge wastes to land around Lake Ratapiko and four land use permits for bed disturbance and structures in the Manganui River, Mangaotea Stream and Lake Ratapiko. Seven additional consents allow Trustpower to abstract water, and construct and maintain structures in the Mangaotea Stream. -

SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your Guide to the Touring Route Around Taranaki’S Coastline
SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your guide to the touring route around Taranaki’s coastline taranaki.co.nz/visit WELCOME TO THE SURF HIGHWAY Surf Highway 45 is the 105km coastal route connecting New Plymouth (1) in the north to Hāwera (2) in the south. Between these centres there are dozens of notable places to stop, from surf breaks, beaches, points of historic and cultural interest, scenic spots, and cafés in vibrant and welcoming villages. A journey along the Surf Highway traces the route of generations of surfers, but it offers much more than just surf. The highway weaves through a number of Taranaki’s stories – the surf, the landscape, the rich history, and the creativity, all the while under the watchful gaze of Taranaki Maunga. For more information head to taranaki.co.nz/visit RICH IN HISTORY Taranaki’s history begins with our picture-perfect ancestor Taranaki Maunga and his mythical journey from the Central Plateau (brokenhearted after losing a battle for Mount Pihanga) and includes historic land battles, the birth of the passive resistance movement, and pioneering industrial growth, all of which have contributed to modern-day Taranaki and the many vivid stories we have to tell. These stories are best experienced through the many museums on offer, with the following located on or near Surf Highway 45. • New Plymouth’s waterfront Puke Ariki (1) is a museum, library and i-SITE providing information about the city’s past and present. A fascinating guided walk is also available – book at the i-SITE, 1 Ariki St, New Plymouth. • Tawhiti Museum and Traders & Whalers (3) has been repeatedly judged one of the country’s best museums, and has to be experienced to be believed. -

Local Skateboarders Keen for Skate Park Extension
JUNE 2009 Local Skateboarders Keen for Skate Park Extension Seven years ago a report by American Sports Data found there were approxi- mately 18.5 million skate boarders in the world. 85% of those polled were under 18 and 74% were male. Today skate boarding continues to ride a huge wave of popularity world wide particularly with young males and for us here in New Plymouth it is no different. This is an important population demographic represented in the data. Too often this group of young males features dis- proportionably high in our negative statistics. Spending an afternoon down at our local skate park, the American statistics about who is participating in the sport certainly look spot on but what was great to see happening down at the skate park on this gorgeous autumn afternoon was that this sport was anything but negative. The day I visited the East End Skate Park it had its regular ‘Thursday’ afternoon invasion of thirty New Plymouth Boys High students. No they weren’t skipping school but were here as part of their Utility Period option with teacher Catherine Beaton in attendance. Mrs Beaton commented that there were 56 boys wanting to take this option for Utility Period but it was restricted to 30 past here frequently and this place is NPBHS student, Denim Lellmann at to keep it less crowded and manageable. extremely popular! As well as people the East End Skate Park. Also the boys are in a class room back skate boarding there are often bike riders at school if it’s a wet day. -
Te Rewa Rewa a Bridge That Really Connects
Te Rewa Rewa – A Bridge that really connects For bridges to give dignity to their setting they must first be built with dignity By Peter Mulqueen: FIPENZ, CPEng, IntPE(NZ), Bridge Engineer and Designer; Ironhorse Bridge Ltd, New Zealand Figure 1: Te Rewa Rewa Bridge with Mount Taranaki in the background. The bridge allowed the extension of the existing New Plymouth Coastal Walkway to cross the Waiwhakaiho River and be extended to the suburb of Bell Block. There is very little written about the creative process as it pertains to bridge design. As a designer, I’ve learned to dissect the thought processes needed to develop a design concept for whichever project is before me. So it was with the Te Rewa Rewa shared pathway bridge. I have defined the creative process for bridge design as being made up of three advancements. The first is from the mind of the designer onto paper by making sketches. The second is from these sketches to engineering drawings. The third advancement is from the drawing board to the wonder of a wholly completed bridge. It’s the first advancement that will be my focus here. During the first advancement, an engineer must hold multiple visions of the bridge in his mind’s eye. These are sometimes described as ‘a four-fold vision of the project, simultaneously considering issues of structural form, mathematical analysis, construction methods, and the relationship of the structure to the site.’ (1) Personally, I have renamed and reordered these to reflect my experience of concept development with the Te Rewa Rewa Bridge.
