Along with covenantors from throughout the region, the QEII directors visited the covenant in November 2007, celebrating the protection of over 5,000ha in Southland with QEII covenants in perpetuity. Right: On a walk through the covenant, Jim Copland discussed the high biodiversity and conservation values of the protected red tussock peatland with the QEII directors.

This remnant is representative of the riparian dryland vegetation that remains in the Low Plains Ecological District. The Melicytus is not a rare species, but following land clearances for agriculture it occurs only sporadically in the low plains, rather than in groups as in this covenant. With an interest in the environment for over 30 years, Bill was a founding member of the Ashburton Branch of the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society. ‘There are very few covenants on the plains and we have protected this area to keep it for the future,’ he says. The Melicytus plants form tightly divaricating bushes up to one metre tall. Smaller plants encircle larger ones, suggesting this species may be rhizomatous. The plants have very thin sharp-pointed branches. ‘These characteristics suggest this plant, although resembling Melicytus alpinus, may be a different entity,’ says Brian Molloy, QEII High Country Rep. ‘Cuttings are now being propagated at Landcare Research so we can report on the taxonomic status in due course.’ Above right: Melicytus porcupine bush is now a rare sight on the Mid-Canterbury Plains.

The family protected two areas at the top and bottom of a linked wetland system running beneath an impressive limestone scarp with an 11ha open space covenant in October 2007. Charles and Nan Hasselman have retired and the farm is leased to son-in-law Andrew Steven. ‘We all have green interests,’ he says. ‘It was a good opportunity to protect the bush gully and wetland and to work with QEII on where to put the fences. We also got funding from Environment Canterbury for the wetland. ‘It was a simple process to protect the areas with QEII and it will be interesting now to see the regeneration.’ Top: Carex secta dominates the wetland, with patches of dense raupo and scattered Coprosma propinqua.

  • Emergency Management, Opuha Dam Collapse, Waitangi Day 1997
    Emergency management, Opuha Dam collapse, Waitangi Day 1997 Philip Lees1 and David Thomson2 The partially completed Opuha Dam near Fairlie in South Canterbury failed at about 1.00 am on 6 February 1997, releasing about 13 million cubic metres of water into the Opuha Riverbed. The developing Civil Defence emergency is described, showing how rapidly a situation could change to one of high hazard. This experience has reinforced views that: effective emergency management plans must be in place for large dams, both during and after construction; emergency procedures need to be activated early and when there are several hours of daylight left; dam-site staff must give an honest appraisal of a potential emergency situation, and in turn must provide accurate information to emergency management organisations. Recommendations are given for the scope of emergency management plans for the now-completed Opuha Dam and for other dams during their construction. Keywords: Opuha Dam, dam breach, river capacity, volume of water, impounded. Introduction Waitangi Day, 6 February, 1997 is a day that will remain on the minds of flood warning staff of Environment Canterbury (ECan) probably for the rest of their lives. The partially completed Opuha Dam near Fairlie in South Canterbury failed at about 1.00 am that morning, releasing about 13 million cubic metres of water into the Opuha Riverbed (Figure 1). Fortunately no lives were lost although in the days that followed there were stories of a number of very close escapes: campers scrambling through riverside berm areas with trees crashing around them and farmers in the same situation trying to shift stock.

  • Title: Timaru's District Wide Sewer Strategy Author
    Title: Timaru’s District Wide Sewer Strategy Author: Ashley Harper, Timaru District Council Abstract: Timaru’s District Wide Sewer Strategy Key Words: Wastewater Strategy, Working Party, Community, Oxidation Ponds, Wetlands, Trunk Sewers, Tunnels Introduction The Timaru District has four main urban areas, namely Timaru, and the inland towns of Geraldine, Pleasant Point and Temuka, with each of these areas having a traditional piped sewer network. The total population served within these urban areas is 40,000. #:872456 Since 1987 Timaru’s wastewater had been treated via a 0.5 milliscreening plant and associated ocean outfall, while each of the three inland towns utilised oxidation ponds and river discharge as the wastewater treatment and disposal process. In 1996 the Timaru District Council initiated a review of the respective wastewater treatment and disposal strategies, primarily because of emerging environmental and regulatory issues. Council supported a community based approach to identifying a preferred strategy, noting that the strategy needed to be robust and viable and to recognise the unique nature of the Timaru District’s effluent. Compliance with proposed environmental standards was a non negotiable requirement. Wastewater Working Party The community based approach involved the appointment of an experienced facilitator (Gay Pavelka) and the formation of a Wastewater Working Party in 1997. Membership of the working party was made up of representatives of the following organisations: Timaru District Council Community Boards
