  • Community and Social Recovery Needs and Capacities in Ashburton District in Covid-19 Times
    Community and Social Recovery Needs and Capacities in Ashburton District in Covid-19 Times Prepared for Safer Mid Canterbury and Ashburton District’s Caring for Communities Welfare Recovery Group By Sarah Wylie MA (hons.) [email protected] September 2020 Research made possible with generous support from EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The “Caring for Communities Welfare Recovery Group”, through Safer Mid Canterbury commissioned research which could underpin a planned response model to support the community and social sector through Covid-19 and beyond. The present research was undertaken by Sarah Wylie, a social and community researcher and evaluator. Methodology The research employed a predominantly qualitative methodology, comprising a brief literature review, review of relevant demographic data, electronic surveys of service providers, community organisations and health and wellbeing services, schools, funders and members of a Pasifika Facebook group for the district, and 106 community experts - social, community and health and wellbeing-focused providers and a sample of schools across the district, along with groups well-equipped to provide commentary of the economic situation in Ashburton took part in 36 in-depth, semi-structured interviews and focus groups (32 face- to-face and 4 undertaken by phone). Data was collected through late July and August 2020. Findings Ashburton district is a community of relative affluence, with historically low unemployment and an economy with a strong agricultural base, which in the current environment means a high proportion of workers and businesses are classed as essential. While Covid-19 has impacted some businesses in the community, and especially hospitality and tourism businesses centred in Methven, and retail in Ashburton, the impact has been, and is expected to continue to be less strong than in many other parts of the country.

  • Cliff Erosion and Coastal Change, Mid Canterbury
    Cliff Erosion and Coastal Change, mid Canterbury A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geography by thesis alone in the University of Canterbury by Michael R. Flatman ?' University of Canterbury 1997 Frontispiece: Looking north across the Ashburton River mouth Hapua. Hakatere Huts are to the left. The unconsolidated gravel cliffs are in the middle ground with Banks Peninsula in the background Abstract The mid Canterbury coast has been largely neglected in the coastal research of the South Island's East Coast. This thesis investigates cliff erosion and coastal change in mid Canterbury. The mid Canterbury coast is comprised of mixed sand and gravel beaches with unconsolidated alluvium cliffs landward of the beaches. The average erosion rate of the 1 cliffs is 0.43m.y( • This rate masks spatial and temporal variations in cliff erosion rates. Erosion at the northern section of the study area is 0.7m.y(1 faster than erosion at the southern end. In the long-term (15 years) cliff height is the major controlling factor on the spatial variations of cliff erosion (r = 0.733). Beach volume controls short-term (1 year) spatial variations of cliff erosion (r = -0.774). Coastal storm frequency significantly controls temporal variations of cliff erosion (r = 0.635). Erosion of the mid Canterbury cliffs yields 228,339m3.y(1 to the coast. Longshore sediment transport is predominantly in a northward direction and 3 1 provides a net sediment quantity of 40,645m .y( • The mid Canterbury coast is bisected by two major rivers, the Ashburton and Rangitata.
