  • New Zealand South Island 2007
    TRAVEL FOCUSNEWZEALAND Kia Ora, South Island! We were thoroughly charmed by our first trip to New Zealand, and not only by the spectacular winter beauty of its land and seascapes. The local people were sincerely welcoming and friendly without exception, and the food and wine in a class of their own. It’s tempting to try to see the whole of NZ in one variety of shops including Cubana Cigars, the Pastel by Verne trip, but unless you have a month or more, it’s not Shoe Dyers and a couple of alfresco cafes. Don’t miss Maree a good idea, especially if you’re driving. Friends of the Arts Centre – it’s a hive of outlets for arts and crafts, ours did both the North and South islands in three with some particularly beautiful and original jewellery weeks last year, starting in Auckland in the north, from a number of NZ’s top designers. and admitted to being tired out – “just chasing destinations” – half-way through their journey around Accommodation South Island. Huntley House is probably the most exquisite hotel So, we decided to see just South Island this time. I’ve seen. The main house has the feeling of an English Taking the direct SIA flight into Christchurch (a third country manor house in its heyday, with discreet of the way down the east coast) we drove south and service to match. It is all glowing wooden panelling, inland to adventure capital Queenstown; then across tasteful chandeliers, burnished silver and old leather, the Southern Alps to and up the rugged West Coast with welcoming fires in every grate.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

Follow the estuary past a camping ground, a boat ramp & holiday baches until wooden steps lead up to the Findlay Street walkway. From Findlay Street, head left into Molesworth Drive until reaching Mangawhai Village. Then a right into Moir Street, left into Insley Street and across the estuary then left into Black Swamp Road. Follow this road until reaching Pacific Road which leads you through a forestry block to the beach and the next stage of Te Araroa. Bypass Note: You could obtain a boat ride across the estuary to the Mangawhai Spit to avoid the road walking section. Care of sand-nesting birds is required on this Scientific Wildlife Reserve - please stick to the shoreline. Just 1km south, a stream cuts across the beach and it can go over thigh height, as can other water crossings on this track. Follow the coast southwards for another 2km, then take the 1 track over Te Ārai Point. Once back on the beach, continue south for 12km (fording Poutawa Stream on the way) until you cross the Pākiri River then head inland to reach the end of Pākiri River Road.

  • Auckland Region
    © Lonely Planet Publications 96 lonelyplanet.com 97 AUCKLAND REGION Auckland Region AUCKLAND REGION Paris may be the city of love, but Auckland is the city of many lovers, according to its Maori name, Tamaki Makaurau. In fact, her lovers so desired this beautiful place that they fought over her for centuries. It’s hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city. Its two magnificent harbours frame a narrow isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. From any of its numerous vantage points you’ll be astounded at how close the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean come to kissing and forming a new island. As a result, water’s never far away – whether it’s the ruggedly beautiful west-coast surf beaches or the glistening Hauraki Gulf with its myriad islands. The 135,000 pleasure crafts filling Auckland’s marinas have lent the city its most durable nickname: the ‘City of Sails’. Within an hour’s drive from the high-rise heart of the city are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, deserted beaches, wineries and wildlife reserves. Yet big-city comforts have spread to all corners of the Auckland Region: a decent coffee or chardonnay is usually close at hand. Yet the rest of the country loves to hate it, tut-tutting about its traffic snarls and the supposed self-obsession of the quarter of the country’s population that call it home. With its many riches, Auckland can justifiably respond to its detractors, ‘Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful’. HIGHLIGHTS Going with the flows, exploring Auckland’s fascinating volcanic

  • Asset Management Plan 2018 – 2038 Watercare Services Limited 1 | P a G E
    Foreword by the chief executive Our work is vital for life, keeps people safe, and helps communities to flourish. Delivering 100% Aa-grade water Watercare delivers 100% Aa-grade water, day in, day out, to Auckland. Drinking water appears. Wastewater disappears. We are leading the water utility of a major city – Auckland – at a time when, globally, the use of the planet’s water resource is in question. While water is not as scarce for us here as it is in other countries, across New Zealand there is now a growing discussion about the use of water for industry and the quality of water in our rural and urban waterways. Water treatment in towns and cities is under scrutiny also, following a serious drinking water supply incident in Havelock North. This event was linked to four deaths and thousands of sick people and prompted an in-depth government inquiry into the delivery of water services nationally. So, questions are being asked about water use and the steps that need to be taken to make improvements for the sake of the environment, our economy and our community. Public consciousness of the value of water seems to be growing – and with it the material importance to our stakeholders of all that is within Watercare’s remit. Enabling growth Here in Auckland, where the population is well served with high-quality water services, the discussion about water is focused on the city’s rapidly-growing population. Water demand is forecast to outstrip current supply within 10 years, prompting planned additions to our existing water supplies.
