Regional Policy Statement for Otago 1998: Partially Operative BEFORE THE HEARINGS PANEL FOR THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES PROPOSED DISTRICT PLAN IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER of Stage 2 including variations to Stage 1 of the Proposed District Plan MEMORANDUM OF COUNSEL ON BEHALF OF THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL REGARDING THE OTAGO REGIONAL POLICY STATEMENT 7 January 2019 Queenstown Lakes District Council Counsel: K L Hockly 10 Gorge Road Queenstown 9300 Ph: (03) 441 1784 Email: [email protected] MAY IT PLEASE THE PANEL 1. This memorandum is filed on behalf of Queenstown Lakes District Council (Council). Its purpose is to update the Hearing Panel (Panel) and submitters on the status of the proposed Otago Regional Policy Statement (pORPS). 2. The Otago Regional Council resolved on 12 December 2018 to make operative those provisions of the pORPS that are now beyond challenge (either because they were not the subject of appeals or have been dealt with by consent orders). These provisions will become operative on 14 January 2019. 3. Public notice has not yet been issued, however the details of the Otago Regional Council meeting (including the agenda and associated reports) can be found on the Otago Regional Council Website.1 4. In summary, from 14 January 2019 the operative parts of the Regional Policy Statement can be found in the following two documents: 4.1 Appendix 1: Regional Policy Statement for Otago 1998: Partially Operative. The provisions of the 1998 RPS that will be revoked from 14 January 2019 are shown in shaded grey text; and 4.2 Appendix 2: Partially Operative Otago Regional Policy Statement 2019. This document shows all provisions that will become operative on 14 January 2019. Those provisions of the pORPS that are still subject to court proceedings and therefore remain proposed, are helpfully listed on pages 3 and 4 of this document.

This document works in conjunction with the Partially Operative Regional Policy Statement for Otago 2019. Provisions that are revoked are shaded grey. Where applicable, the provisions that directly replace revoked provisions are indicated by footnote. This explanation does not form part of the RPS. Regional Policy Statement for Otago ISBN 0-908922-59-0 Otago Regional Council October 1998 Chairperson’s Foreword Regional Policy Statement for Otago i How to Use the Regional Policy Statement This Regional Policy Statement considers all of Otago’s significant regional resource management issues. It provides objectives, policies and methods of implementation in order to address those issues. Each of the issues, objectives and policies is accompanied by an explanation. Although all of Otago’s resources are interrelated, it has been necessary, within this Policy Statement, to consider particular resources in individual chapters. In order to reflect the interrelated nature of the use, development and protection of resources, a reference system has been used within the Statement. This provides a linkage between chapters, and between issues, objectives, policies and methods within each chapter: • Each issue, objective and policy is referenced to other chapters within the Policy Statement, where those chapters contain issues, objectives or policies which may affect that particular issue, objective or policy. • Each of the issues is referenced through to the relevant objectives and policies within each chapter. • Each of the objectives is referenced through to the relevant policies within each chapter. • Each of the policies is referenced through to the relevant methods within each chapter. This cross referencing system is for information purposes and to highlight potential links between resource issues and concerns. Particular connections and issues of integration will still need to be addressed on a case by case basis, in relation to particular circumstances. The Regional Policy Statement is divided into 15 chapters and 3 appendices.

The sites are all prominent headlands – Katiki (Moeraki peninsula), Matakaea (Shag Point) and Huriawa (Karitane Peninsula) – strategic strongholds occupied by Maori for hundreds of years. Archaeological evidence of occupation dates back to the 12th Century. Since the Käi Claims Settlement Act of 1998, all three sites are managed in partnership between the Department of Conservation and Te Runanga o Käi Tahu. The Crown also formally recognised Matakaea’s special cultural, spiritual and historic significance of matakaea for Käi Tahu, by designating it as a topuni.

    ADVERTISING FEATURE | DUNEDIN NZ WILD AT HEART Albatrosses and sea lions, little blue penguins and takahē live next door to humans in Dunedin, a city perched on a knot of land on the Otago coastline. THERE IS ONLY one place in the world where albatrosses nest on the mainland, and it’s no coincidence that it’s a fort. The terraces that were once part of a pā site at Taiaroa Head provide ideal platforms for albatross nests, and the windy, exposed promontory that affords a six-inch gun a view of the sea to ward off a Russian invasion makes a perfect airstrip for incoming adult birds. This season, there are 28 chicks in the colony, with 56 adults coming in to feed them at any one time. The chicks are sitting on their nests, dotted white across the headland. I walk up to the viewing area and peer through binoculars at their beautiful bulk and serious-looking expressions.

My name is Maria Bartlett. 2. I joined Toitū te Whenua, the environmental unit of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (“Te Rūnanga”) on 21 February 2011. 3. I was seconded to Toitū te Whenua from the Consents section of Environment Canterbury for a year as part of the Tuia programme between Ngāi Tahu and the regional council. 4. Prior to my secondment I had spent the better part of ten years processing resource consents for Environment Canterbury, with a focus on surface water consents and river works in the Waitaki catchment and south of the Rakaia river. This included co-ordinating consents for the Project Aqua proposal of Meridian Energy Limited for the Lower Waitaki River, participation in development of the Waitaki Catchment Water Allocation Regional Plan, co-ordination of consents in the Upper Waitaki Catchment and presentation of evidence at the hearings that followed. 5. Since arriving at Te Rūnanga, in addition to engaging in Resource Management Act processes and reforms of the local government sector, I have spent the last three and half years working on the minerals, oil and gas kaupapa, beginning with response to individual mining permit applications notified to Te Rūnanga by NZ Petroleum & Minerals (NZPAM) in accordance with the Crown Minerals Act.
