  • Southland Conservancy
    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand SOUTHLAND CONSERVANCY Te Anau Basin Wetland Complex (71) Location: 45o27'S, 167o46'E. To the east and southeast of Lake Te Anau, Southland, South Island. Area: c.2,400 ha. Altitude: 180-360 m. Overview: The Te Anau Basin Wetland Complex consists of seven distinct and isolated wetlands within the Te Anau Basin. These sites are the Dome Mire and Dismal Swamp area, Kepler Mire, Amoeboid Mire, Kakapo Swamp, Dunton Bog and two areas within the Snowdon Forest. The Dome Mire and Dismal Swamp area and Kepler Mire are described in greater detail as Sites 71a and 71b, respectively. All of the wetlands have a similar glacial origin; however, individual sites vary as a consequence of their history, drainage (water table, amounts of ponded water), fertility, topography etc. The complex of peatlands contains a rich variety of plant communities which include several significant plant distributions and provide important habitat for wildlife. Physical features: The Te Anau Basin lies on the eastern margin of Fiordland, a gneiss/schist/granite massif uplifted by the Alpine Fault on its western margin and carved by extensive glaciation through the Quaternary. On its eastern flank, down-faulting in the Te Anau Basin area has contributed to the preservation of soft Tertiary sedimentary rocks, and the deposition of glacial gravels. During the last glaciation, glaciers occupied much of the basin. Depressions and areas of limited drainage developed in the moraines, tills and outwash gravels as the glaciers retreated. Wetlands have developed on these glacial outwash deposits of last glacial to post-glacial age.

  • Wednesday 21 August 2013 Parks
    TO: INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES COMMITTEE FROM: THE DIRECTOR OF WORKS AND SERVICES MEETING DATE: WEDNESDAY 21 AUGUST 2013 PARKS STRATEGY Report Prepared by: Robin Pagan − Parks Manager SUMMARY The draft Parks Strategy has been now been completed and is ready for Council's consideration. RECOMMENDATIONS That the draft Parks Strategy for Council's Parks Division now be adopted. IMPLICATIONS 1. Has this been provided for in the Long Term Plan/Annual Plan? Yes 2. Is a budget amendment required? To complete the proposed levels of service, increased spending will be required in selected areas which may be off−set by decreased levels of service in other areas. This will need to be addressed at the time of drafting budgets. 3. Is this matter significant in terms of Council's Policy on Significance? Yes 4. Implications in terms of other Council Strategic Documents or Council Policy? This Strategy will link with Asset Management Plans, Long Term Plans and Reserve Management Plans. 5. Have the views of affected or interested persons been obtained and is any further public consultation required? Workshops have been held with Councillors. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The sum of $1.1 million over the next ten years is required to increase the levels of service in selected areas; this can in part be achieved by reallocation of existing budgets. PARKS STRATEGY The draft Parks Strategy for Invercargill Reserve land administrated by the Parks Division is now ready for council's consideration and adoption. 0069 Work on the Strategy has been carried out over the past 12 months with Xyst Consultancy producing this final draft.

  • FROM POTHOLES to POLICY: How Invercargill City Council Informs Itself Of, and Has Regard To, the Views of All of Its Communities
    FROM POTHOLES TO POLICY: How Invercargill City Council informs itself of, and has regard to, the views of all of its communities Janette Malcolm School of Geography, E nvironment and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, ew Zealand Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of D evelopment Studies D egree JULY 2008 Abstract In the 1990s, governments in the Western world were seeking solutions to the economic and social dysfunction resulting from a decade of pure neo-liberal policies. Increased inequalities in the distribution of wealth, the promotion of individualism at the expense of community and citizens feeling alienated from government had become critical problems, nowhere more so than in New Zealand. A solution that has been adopted is to reconnect government at all levels with citizens and the civic sector. The good governance agenda proposed increased transparency and accountability of government to citizens, and a new role for citizens as participants and partners. It became the foundation for a fundamental reform of local government in New Zealand, resulting in the Local Government Act 2002. However, the acquisition of a right to participate does not necessarily lead to knowledge of that right and the capacity to exercise it on the part of citizens: nor the willingness to allow it on the part of government. There are also more general questions about the exercise of power, about representation and about whose voices are heard. This thesis, through a case study of Invercargill City Council, a local government authority in Southland, New Zealand, examines these issues relating to citizen participation and the extent to which the Council has been able to create an environment and processes that enable all of its communities to participate.
