Whangarei District Council Whangarei Heads Ward Electing 1 Councillor Dave BLACKLEY Go - Whangarei My principal place of residence is not in the Whangarei Heads Ward area. I am also standing for Mayor. www.gowhangarei.kiwi Being a part of the Whangarei Heads/Parua Bay community and Northland along with my family is awesome. My passions are people and communities which is why I founded Go-Whangarei. I enjoy all outdoor activities, diving, fishing and of course flying helicopters. I have played a quiet role in supporting the Parua Bay community and Parua Bay school for over 13 years. With over 35 years hands on business experience across a range of businesses and as a farmer in Parua Bay I have a good understanding of the challenges facing people and rural communities. I am a practical person with common sense and business experience. I do not make excuses, will always stand accountable and rarely take no for an answer. As a member of Go-Whangarei I have promised: No rate increases; Free Parking; Cheaper Rubbish; More community funding; Less bureaucracy. Whangarei District Council Whangarei Heads Ward Electing 1 Councillor Greg INNES My principal place of residence is in the Whangarei Heads Ward area. Parua Bay my home for 36 years. I need your continued support to ensure Council recognises the value of Whangarei Heads Ward to the wider District. Our Ward is special. Our communities have strong growth. Through your continued support and vote we can enhance our lifestyle. I offer you my extensive experience as an effective community representative. Currently Chair Council's Planning Standing Committee and the Bream Head Conservation Trust. Previously I have Chaired the Parua Bay School and had Directorships on Northland Health and Conservation Boards. I have the skills and commitment to influence decisions positively. Previous roles have included Planning Director for Northland and over 23 years of consultancy practice successfully completing significant contracts with government departments, Auckland councils, and local government organisations throughout New Zealand and the United States. Ensuring organisations have direction and connect effectively with their communities is what drives me. www.vote-greg-in.co.nz Your vote counts..

Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat
Part C – Policies – Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat 17 Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat 17.1 Significant Issues Loss of biodiversity and fragmentation of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna arising from land clearance, pest invasions, modification of indigenous wetlands, subdivision, use and development. Low representation of threatened and/or rare vegetation and habitat types in the protected areas network within the District. Finding a balance between the protection of ecosystems and ecological processes, and sustainable land development and use. Lack of public understanding of ecological processes and values leading to inappropriate land use. 17.2 Overview Since first human settlement in the District, large areas of native forests and shrub lands, freshwater indigenous wetlands, mangrove forest, mudflats and coastline have been lost or modified by direct or indirect human impacts. As a result of habitat changes, the District has a high number of endangered and threatened species. The effects on wildlife of loss of habitat vary, but for less mobile species with special habitat requirements, this can result in local extinction. More mobile species have special habitat requirements at certain stages of their life cycles, for example, the loss of breeding habitats could have serious long-term consequences for particular species. Habitats special to the District, and which are now poorly represented as natural ecological areas, include: • Taraire-puriri broadleaf forest remnants found on the basalt soils; • Mineralised flax, raupo and sedge swamps; • Acid peat bogs; • Podsol gumlands; • Lowland kahikatea/cabbage tree and swamp forest remnants; • Coastal forests and shrub lands; • Kauri and Podocarpus (rimu, matai, kahikatea, miro, kaiwaka, tanekaha forests); All of these habitat types have been severely reduced in area, or are highly modified and now often only occur as tiny modified relics of what once occurred in the District.
