Recommendation to Committee 4.1 THAT the submissions on the Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan be considered. 4.2 THAT decisions on submissions be accepted, accepted in part, or not accepted during deliberations, and these decisions be incorporated where necessary into the Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan. 4.3 THAT under the Statutory Management Committee’s Terms of Reference, the Committee determines that Whanganui District Council adopts the Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan incorporating decisions from deliberations. Victoria Edmonds, Policy Planner, reports: Executive summary The purpose of this report is for the Committee to consider all submissions and make decisions, including any amendments, to be incorporated into the Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan. Background Preparation of a Reserve Management Plan is a requirement for Castlecliff Coastal Reserve under Section 41 of the Reserves Act 1977. A total of 39 submissions were received, with 14 wishing to present their submission to Council. The Hearing of Submissions timetable (Ref A) and a copy of the submissions to be presented are attached (Ref B). A link to the full volume of submissions is on the Council’s website. An analysis of the submissions, with a summary of each submission including officer comments and recommendations, is attached (Ref C). Based on submitter feedback changes are recommended to be made to the Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan. These changes are shown as highlighted text (Ref D). Statutory Management Committee 11 October 2018 5 Options The options available are: 1. Accept the Council officer’s recommendations and adopt the plan. 2. Amend the recommendations and adopt an amended plan. 3. Instruct Council officer to do further work in response to the matters received in submissions prior to adopting the plan. Considering and deliberating on the submissions received on the Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan fits with the purpose of Local Government, Section 10 (1) (a), ‘to enable democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of, communities’. Draft Reserve Management Plan The draft Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan provides an outline of the Council’s aspirations and intentions for the use, development, maintenance, protection and preservation of Castlecliff Reserve (as required under Section 41 of the Reserves Act 1977). The Reserves Act 1977 also requires Council to keep its management plan under continuous review. The current management plan is dated from 2005, so a review is necessary. The key issues (in no particular order) raised in the submissions were: • Vehicle access and speed limits. • Destruction of the dunes by vehicles. • Pedestrian access and formal/informal paths. • The degraded state of the North Mole. • Lack of shading provided for within Reserve. • Whanau/hapu/iwi engagement. Next steps All requirements of the Reserve Act 1977 have been adhered to for the draft Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan. Officer recommendations are provided, in relation to submissions received on the draft Castlecliff Coastal Reserve Management Plan, to assist the Statutory Management Committee to consider and deliberate. Statutory Management Committee 11 October 2018 6 The changes to the Reserve Management Plan reflect core functions of Council in accordance with both the Local Government Act 2002 and the Reserves Act 1977. Suitable engagement, consultation and notification has occurred in accordance with the requirements

    Analysis of the Grounding of the MV Rena in New Zealand, 5 October, 2011

    DOI: ISSN : Analysis of the grounding of the MV Rena in New Zealand, 5 October, 2011. Ian G. McLean Dept of Forestry and Resource Management, Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology, Mokoia Drive, Rotorua, New Zealand 3046; E-Mail: [email protected] Corresponding Author: Ian G. McLean [email protected] ABSTRACT The grounding of the general cargo vessel MV Rena near Tauranga Harbor in October 2011 was New Zealand’s worst environmental disaster. The ship hit an offshore reef, creating hazardous salvage conditions, and the consequent spill of 350 tonnes of fuel oil affected 50 km of coastline and many islands. Many containers fell overboard, creating hazards for other shipping, requiring additional salvage resources, and introducing toxins to the marine environment that are still washing up six years later. The community responded to the disaster by flocking to the beaches and cleaning up the oil by hand, giving well over 20,000 hours of volunteer time. Short- and long-term environmental consequences for wildlife and the inshore marine environment are reviewed, along with the effects on the local economy, the political context and the management response. There were significant economic effects during the summer immediately following the event, but the clean-up appears to have been remarkably successful. While the above-water superstructure of the ship was removed, much of the (broken-up) hull remains on or close to the reef today. The final (legal) decision on the removal of the wreck has enabled abandonment of the wreck. There appear to be few, if any, long-term wider environmental effects although elevated levels of some contaminants are still measurable close to the wreck in 2017.
