  • Lyall Bay Coastal Remediation D
    Coasts & Ports 2017 Conference – Cairns, 21-23 June 2017 Lyall Bay Coastal Remediation D. Phillips, S. Mead and M. Emeny Lyall Bay Coastal Remediation D. Phillips1 and S. Mead2 and M. Emeny3 1Unitec, Auckland, NEW ZEALAND 2 eCoast, Raglan, NEW ZEALAND 3 Wellington City Council, Wellington, NEW ZEALAND. [email protected] Abstract An investigation has been undertaken at Lyall Bay in Wellington to propose options with regard to protecting the natural and built coastal infrastructure and reinstating a functional dune. Lyall Bay is an important recreational asset for Wellington as it is popular with the community for many activities both in the water and on the beach, as well as scenic drives, visiting cafes, and plane watching with the nearby airport. The project has specifically included investigating options for 1) dune restoration to maximize their effectiveness in absorbing wave energy and protecting natural and built infrastructure 2) protect the rocky shoreline, grassed area and trees on the western side of the bay 3) the shifting of sand around the bay and dealing with current infrastructure within the beach environment. Lyall Bay is a highly modified beach environment that has been developed since early last century, leading to a number of constraints and changes when coastal processes are considered. The dune field has been replaced with people/houses/buildings; the bay has been contained within walls, roads and parking; stormwater discharges into the bay through 20 different outfalls; the eastern third of the bay has been reclaimed for the airport, and a further 350m of reclamation is proposed in the near future.

  • Comprehensive Review of the 2019 Blessing of the Fleet by Richard Lord, MPA, BOF Chairman 2015-2018 October 21, 2019 (Updated 11/21/19)
    Comprehensive Review of the 2019 Blessing of the Fleet By Richard Lord, MPA, BOF Chairman 2015-2018 October 21, 2019 (Updated 11/21/19) Introduction I was thrilled there was a 2019 Blessing of the Fleet (BOF). However, I was not pleased with the overall event. The live band music was the highlight of the BOF, but it was so sparse overall of just a few evening hours of a 16 hr. two dayslong event, that the lack of afternoon live band music was the major factor for the dissatisfaction and disappointment in the BOF. This, and other significant programmatic and structural deficiencies, represented a steep decline in the quality of the event from the excellence of the 2018 BOF and those that proceeded it. This Review is not to denigrate the 2019 BOF and its organizers. As the former Chairman from 2015-2018, I fully appreciate the considerable time and effort that went into the production of the 2019 BOF by its now five new Chairmen, and to their great credit as BOF novices, I am surprised it only took the five of them to replace me. Rather, if there is to be a 2020 BOF, I seek to be instructive to restore the BOF to its former state of distinction. As Chairman of the BOF for the last four years, no one knows the production and management challenges better than I. Further, no one knows better how to promote and manage this fine event. Thus, this Review is to provide guidance to the 2020 BOF organizers enabling them to return the event to its outstanding 2018 single-day Saturday production framework and programming constructing a BOF well worth attending and continuing.

    Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives Wellington District Baptism Registers Holdings at October 2013 For more information, please contact: The Archivist Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives PO Box 931 Christchurch New Zealand 8140 Phone 03 366 6049 Email: [email protected] Website: www.methodist.org.nz The Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives in Christchurch is the approved repository for Methodist baptism registers once completed by parishes. They are part of parish and church records held in the Methodist Archives. Registers can date from the first Wesleyan missionaries’ time in New Zealand during the 1830s, through to the present day. They include all branches of Methodism in New Zealand: Primitive Methodist, Wesleyan, United Free Methodist, and Bible Christian. Some registers, particularly those still in use, are held by parishes. Details of how to contact parishes are on the Methodist Church website www.methodist.org.nz In the case of union or combined parishes, registers containing Methodist baptisms may be held by other repositories such as the Presbyterian Archives and Anglican Archives. The format of baptism registers varied over the years. Early registers often only contained the name of the person being baptised, the date of baptism, the district they lived in and the name of the minister performing the baptism. 1 Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives Auckland District Baptism Registers List updated October 2013 Later on, when standard baptism registers were printed and distributed by the Methodist Church, more information was added, such as birth date, names of parents, their address and the parish or circuit in which the baptism was taking place.

  • The City of the Future
    Urban Planning (ISSN: 2183–7635) 2018, Volume 3, Issue 2, Pages 1–20 DOI: 10.17645/up.v3i2.1247 Article The City of the Future Garry Glazebrook 1,* and Peter Newman 2 1 Department of Design, Architecture and Building, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW 2007, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute (CUSP), Perth, WA 6845, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] * Corresponding author Submitted: 31 October 2017 | Accepted: 5 March 2018 | Published: 24 April 2018 Abstract Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will require rapid decarbonisation of the world’s electricity and transport systems. This must occur against a background of continuing urbanisation and the shift to the information economy. While replacement of fossil fuels in electricity generation is underway, urban transport is currently dominated by petrol and diesel-powered ve- hicles. The City of the Future will need to be built around a different transport and urban paradigm. This article argues that the new model will be a polycentric city linked by fast electric rail, with local access based on autonomous “community”- owned electric cars and buses supplemented by bicycles, electric bikes and scooters, with all electricity generated from renewables. Less space will be wasted on roads and parking, enabling higher accessibility yet more usable public open space. Building the cities of the future will require national governments to accelerate local initiatives through appropri- ate policy settings and strategic investment. The precise way in which individual cities move into the future will vary, and the article illustrates how the transformation could work for Australian cities, like Sydney, currently some of the most car dependent in the world, using new financial and city partnerships.
