  • Schedule 14.1 Schedule of Historic Heritage [Rcp/Dp]
    Schedule 14.1 Schedule of Historic Heritage [rcp/dp] Introduction The criteria in B5.2.2(1) to (5) have been used to determine the significant historic heritage places in this schedule and will be used to assess any proposed additions to it. The criteria that contribute to the heritage values of scheduled historic heritage in Schedule 14.1 are referenced with the following letters: A: historical B: social C: Mana Whenua D: knowledge E: technology F: physical attributes G: aesthetic H: context. Information relating to Schedule 14.1 Schedule 14.1 includes for each scheduled historic heritage place; • an identification reference (also shown on the Plan maps) • a description of a scheduled place • a verified location and legal description and the following information: Reference to Archaeological Site Recording Schedule 14.1 includes in the place name or description a reference to the site number in the New Zealand Archaeological Association Site Recording Scheme for some places, for example R10_709. Categories of scheduled historic heritage places Schedule 14.1 identifies the category of significance for historic heritage places, namely: (a) outstanding significance well beyond their immediate environs (Category A); or (b) the most significant scheduled historic heritage places scheduled in previous district plans where the total or substantial demolition or destruction was a discretionary or non-complying activity, rather than a prohibited activity (Category A*). This is an interim category until a comprehensive re-evaluation of these places is undertaken and their category status is addressed through a plan change process; or 1 (c) considerable significance to a locality or greater geographic area (Category B).

  • Works Produced from the Just Another Masterpiece Education Programme We Hope You Are All Keeping Warm and Dry During the Cold Winter Season
    Works produced from the Just Another Masterpiece education programme We hope you are all keeping warm and dry during the cold winter season. Our Digital Technology Educator Jessica Wilkes has settled well in to her position after starting in term one. Jessica is originally from Auckland but has been teaching for the last few years in Westport. She will be leading the teaching and learning programmes that are technology based in the Makerspace on the 2nd floor of Te Aka Mauri (The Library and Children’s Health Hub). Alongside the technology programmes from Year 1 - 10, we are also pleased to offer support for NCEA Digital Technology internal and external assessments. Please see more details further on in this booklet. In terms 3 and 4 we are offering a range of new programmes in visual art and social science, some for a limited period so get in quick. Land of the Taniwha has curriculum links to both visual arts and social science. Students will learn more about Te Arawa and significant places through links to well known taniwha such as Pekehaua from Te Awahou, Kataore from Tikitapu and the infamous monster that dwelt at Kuirau. Just Another Masterpiece is a programme developed for students to teach a deeper understanding of abstract art while examining design elements. Students will be able to create their own abstract mono print to take back to school. Balancing Power - The Function of Local Government delves into the working of local government and is relevant and topical due to the local body elections this year. Making a return year is our Tarawera Te Maunga Tapu programme.

  • An Assessment of the Suitability of Captive-Bred Founders for Lizard Restoration Projects Using Duvaucel’S Geckos (Hoplodactylus Duvaucelii)

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. An assessment of the suitability of captive-bred founders for lizard restoration projects using Duvaucel’s geckos (Hoplodactylus duvaucelii). A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology Massey University, Albany, New Zealand. Vivienne Glenday 2016 Abstract Sourcing founders for species restoration projects can be problematic, especially when using rare or endangered animals. Harvesting from small natural populations could be detrimental to those populations. A possible solution is to use captive-bred founders as this would reduce harvesting pressure on natural source populations. In the summer of 2013, a combination of captive-bred and wild-sourced Duvaucel’s geckos (Hoplodactylus duvaucelii) were released on two islands in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf. To assess the suitability of captive-bred founders for species restoration projects, short-term survival, condition, reproductive performance, dispersal and activity patterns, and habitat use were investigated using mark-recapture surveys and radio telemetry over a 12 month period following the release, and comparisons were made between captive-bred and wild- sourced geckos. Captive-bred geckos were encountered more often than wild geckos one year after the release, and had greater increases in body condition index. They also had better overall health, but more partial tail losses. Gravid females from both groups were encountered during the first post-release breeding season and at least 50% of juveniles were encountered alive during the first year.
