  • Osborne Evidence
    IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER of Proposed Plan Change 19 (Frankton Flats Special Zone B) to the Queenstown Lakes District Plan. STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE OF GREGORY JOHN OSBORNE INTRODUCTION 1. My full name is Gregory John Osborne. I am a Director of Osborne Hay (South) Limited, a Planning and Resource Management Consultancy practice based in Auckland. 2. I have the qualification of Bachelor of Town Planning obtained from Auckland University in 1979 and I have been a full member of the New Zealand Planning Institute since 1984. 3. I have worked as a planner in local government and private practice since 1979 and during that period I have had extensive experience in district and regional plan preparation and the preparation and processing of resource consent applications and notices of requirement for designations. 4. In recent years I have also developed significant experience in resource management and planning processes related to the District Plan controls on aircraft noise and related land use controls on activities sensitive to aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports. 5. In particular, I facilitated the mediated settlement of a range of appeals on behalf of Manukau City Council in relation to the provisions of the Manukau District Plan relating to Auckland International Airport. That work involved drafting district plan rules which ultimately formed the basis of the Environment Court consent order. 1 6. Subsequently, I have provided planning advice to Auckland International Airport Limited over a number of years and I gave evidence to the Environment Court in the case Independent News Auckland Limited and Auckland International Airport Limited v Manukau City Council1 in which the key issue was reverse sensitivity to aircraft noise.

    Cyber world snags South Canterbury Page 4 Win with Four Square HERALD Page 5 Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Glass heap destined for Mackenzie roads A large stockpile of glass in the Mackenzie District will find a new home in the region’s roading material. The 2687 cubic metre stockpile had built up from glass collections in the district up until three years ago. Since then, all glass in the district has been recycled into filters through EcoCentral in Christchurch. However, the glass stockpile was unsuitable for that type of recycling due to contamination with rocks. A solution to the problem has been reached between the Glass Packaging Forum and Road Metals, and the Mackenzie District Council. The stockpiled glass will be crushed and used in roading material at the Road Metals site in Twizel.

Water resource management rules within a riparian zone might be tailored differently from rules outside such a zone, to account for the strong surface water/groundwater connection. The riparian aquifer zone of the lower section of the Rangitata River which divides the Mayfield-Hinds groundwater allocation zone (GWAZ) and Rangitata-Orton GWAZ has been delineated based on the review of available geological, hydrological and water chemistry data. The Rangitata riparian aquifer zone is conceived to include both shallow and deep groundwater that underlies the margin of land between the Rangitata River and Kapunatiki Creek (encompassing Rangitata Island and the Rangitata South Branch). The historic flood plain on the north side (true-left) of the Rangitata, directly south of Coldstream, is also considered to be part of the riparian zone.

  • The Carbon Footprint of Domestic Tourism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Lincoln University Research Archive The Carbon Footprint of Domestic Tourism Technical report August 2009 2 Author: Dr. Susanne Becken Associate Professor Environment, Society & Design Division Director of LEaP Research Centre www.leap.ac.nz Commissioned by: The Hikurangi Foundation PO Box 25335 Panama Street, Wellington. Aotearoa/New Zealand +64 (0)4 905 2923 www.hikurangi.org.nz The Hikurangi Foundation is made possible by: The Tindall Foundation The Todd Foundation Disclaimer: The purpose of this report is to promote discussion and positive action. The views in this report are not necessarily the policy of the Hikurangi Foundation. 3 Foreword Hikurangi is about enabling action for a better way of life for New Zealanders. We would like to see a prosperous economy and strong society underpinned by a thriving environment. Climate change is an extremely serious threat to all of these things. But it can be tackled. In fact, acting on climate change and sustainable development is probably the only way businesses and communities will prosper in the long run. But we need forward-thinking action, now. We see the Tourism sector as critical, particularly domestic tourism, but we wanted to know more about the potential contribution to the solution that it could make. That’s why we commissioned this work to help us understand the carbon footprint of domestic tourism in New Zealand. Recent events and trends in the sector point to a potentially greater dependence on local tourism, but with its comparatively high carbon footprint (as this research reveals) this could be problematic for New Zealand.
