A glossary of terms, acronyms and abbreviations used in this plan are at Annex IX. The Ashburton District is bounded in the west by the Southern Alps and on the east by the Pacific Ocean. Its northern boundary, with the Selwyn District is along the Rakaia River, it then runs through mountainous country to the top of the Main Divide, its southern boundary, with the Timaru and Mackenzie Districts, is the Rangitata River and from those headwaters to the top of the Main Divide. The Ashburton District Council’s formed roading network has a total length of 2,643 km, of which 1,485 km are sealed, and the remaining 1,157 km are unsealed. 97% of urban roads and 53% of rural roads are sealed. This is the fourth-largest local authority network in New Zealand; there is also a Transportation Network Activity Management Plan 2012 Page 1 Ashburton District Council Version 1 Transportation Network 2012 Activity Management Plan 2012 significant length of unformed legal roads owned by the Council. In addition to this the District is well served by State Highways1 with SH1 providing a north-south arterial route through the eastern portion of the District, SH77 an east-west route between Ashburton and Mt Hutt, and thence to the Rakaia Gorge and the Selwyn District. A map of the portion of the network on the Canterbury Plains is at Annex II Each road in the network has been categorised into a roading hierarchy based on the road’s purpose and level of use. The hierarchy of road network and the purpose of the various levels of road within the hierarchy are discussed in more detail in Appendix B. The Ashburton District Council has no direct role in the provision of public passenger transport, a function allocated under the Land Transport Management Act to regional councils, but it does have an advocacy role. This plan covers roading, footpaths and car parking. It covers all assets associated with transport services and includes reference to related matters which may be provided by others, such as road safety education and enforcement, passenger transport, and car parking enforcement A basic role of local authorities is to supply core services that meet the needs of their communities. The specific services that are provided, and how they are provided, depend on the level of service required by the community. Roading has been fundamental to society since its beginnings. It allows people to move beyond their property boundaries, to obtain food, water and clothing, to interact with other people and to obtain medical assistance as necessary. It is therefore generally regarded as one of the most essential services in enabling the district to achieve its strategic outcomes. The Council’s role, with respect to roading and transportation is to: Providing effective and efficient core Council infrastructure that meets the district’s needs Advocating for effective and efficient transport 2 The Council intends to continue with its present involvement in roading activities. This Activity Management Plan (AcMP) has been developed on the basis of continuing Council ownership of the assets. 1.2 Purpose of the Plan The goal of infrastructural asset management is to meet a required level of service, in the most cost effective manner, through the management of assets for present and future customers2.. This plan adopts this purpose; its purpose is to be … a statement of how agreed services will be provided to defined standards at least cost through the management of assets in a way which is sustainable in the long term and which complies with statutory requirements The purpose of this plan, and the factors that influence the need, priority and scope for improved AM practices within the Council, are summarised as follows: 1 State Highways are owned by the Crown and managed and maintained on its behalf by the NZ Transport Authority. 2 ADC LTP 2 International Infrastructure Asset Management Manual —2011 Transportation Network Activity Management Plan 2012 Page 2 Ashburton District Council Version 1 Transportation Network 2012 Activity Management Plan 2012 to demonstrate responsible management, to communicate and justify funding requirements and to comply with regulatory requirements. It also has a number of other functions: It ensures that the factors required to deliver the agreed levels of service on the roading network at the lowest long term cost to the community are identified, documented and included in financial forecasts; It documents the Council’s asset management, financial and engineering practices for roading infrastructure and identifies opportunities for reductions in asset life cycle costs. It forecasts planned changes to these over the next 20 years; It uses this detail to support the roading aspects of the Council’s Long Term Plan. This AcMP will be used by the Council’s officers to combine management, financial, engineering and technical processes and procedures to ensure the agreed levels of service are provided to present and future customers. This AcMP is influenced by a number of statutes and documents with statutory authority. It is also influenced by and influences many of the Council’s plans and strategies. The principal links to other documents are outlined in Figure 1 below. 1.3 Demonstrating Responsible Management To meet its objectives and responsibilities the Council has established a three-committee structure, with each committee discharging responsibilities in a particular area. The committee structure is shown in Figure 2 below. The transportation network lies within the jurisdiction of the Operations Committee. The Council’s responsible management is demonstrated by: improved understanding of service levels and standards. clear justification of forward works programmes and funding requirements. improved accountability. increased customer satisfaction and improved public perception of the Ashburton District Council. overcoming institutional memory loss. ensuring a proactive approach to asset management. prolonged life of the assets. meeting the principles of sustainable management.

  • The Emergence and Intensification of Hydropolitical Conflict Intentionality in Aotearoa-New Zealand By: Adan E. Suazo National C
    The Emergence and Intensification of Hydropolitical Conflict Intentionality in Aotearoa-New Zealand By: Adan E. Suazo National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies Te Ao O Rongomaraeroa University of Otago Dunedin, New Zealand June 2019 Abstract Environmental security literature has devoted a significant amount of attention to the nexus between resource abundance and conflict. Important research has assessed this relationship by focusing on non-renewable resource wealth as a causal determinant of conflict, but little is known about the conditions that influence the emergence and intensification of conflict in water abundant environments. By most accounts, New Zealand is one of the most water-rich countries in the world. Even though violent conflict over water does not normally materialise in New Zealand, conflicts and incompatible claims motivated by water bottling, the growth of some types of agriculture, tourism, and water treatment strategies, continue to surface. Little, however, is known about how and why these conflicts emerge and intensify in a country such as New Zealand. To address this lacuna, this project asks the following research question: How and why does the commercialisation of freshwater influence the emergence and intensification of hydropolitical conflict intentionality in New Zealand? This study presents two central arguments. First, that the introduction of a commercial enterprise motivates the emergence of hydropolitical conflict intentionality if the enterprise is incompatible with the interests of local communities.
