Summary This Kaipara Water Transport Network and Wharves Feasibility Study and Programme Business Case (PBC) seeks approval to: • invest $4 million of Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) allocation into priority wharf developments and tourism strategy development that will form the foundation of a water transport network. • the priority wharf developments are the Dargaville Wharf pontoon & Pahi wharf renewals, new wharf at Pōuto Point, investigation of beach landing sites at Otamatea marae, Arapaoa marae and Oruawharo marae. • invest approximately $4.64 million in ongoing targeted development in marine facilities and asset management initiatives as part of a 30-year water transport network delivery programme. This PBC will support increased economic, social and environmental resilience for the district as part of the broader Kaipara Kickstart programme. It also supports the strategic direction for Northland provided by the Tai Tokerau Economic Development Action Plan, the Maori Economic Development Strategy for Northland, the district’s Long-Term Plan and numerous regional transport planning initiatives. 1.1 The case for change As a district, Kaipara is lagging behind its neighbours and it needs to generate new sustainable economic activity to bring it back to its former strength. The district has pockets of deep deprivation and its labour force (working population) is shrinking. There is a strong local desire to support initiatives that can support growth in jobs, retain youth and build local capability while nurturing the character and the health of the district. Without financially viable and commercial tourism products, well promoted attractions and efficient transport connections, the Kaipara is seeing tourism spending and economic development opportunities pass it by in favour of other, more advanced districts. In order to unlock the district latent potential, the transport connections must be improved. The once flourishing Kaipara water transport that connected the district to itself, Auckland and the world, has fallen into disrepair as the economic environment has changed. The business activity

  • Natural Areas of Otamatea Ecological District
    1. Introduction 1.1 THE PROTECTED NATURAL AREAS PROGRAMME The Protected Natural Areas Programme (PNAP) was established in 1982 to implement Section 3 (b) of the Reserves Act 1977: Ensuring, as far as possible, the survival of all indigenous species of flora and fauna, both rare and commonplace, in their natural communities and habitats, and the preservation of representative examples of all classes of natural ecosystems and landscape which in the aggregate originally gave New Zealand its own recognisable character. The goal of the programme is: To identify and protect representative examples of the full range of indig- enous biological and landscape features in New Zealand, and thus main- tain the distinctive New Zealand character of the country (Technical Advi- sory Group 1986). The specific aim of the PNAP is to identify, by a process of field survey and evaluation, natural areas of ecological significance throughout New Zealand which are not well represented in existing protected natural areas, and to retain the greatest possible diversity of landform and vegetation patterns consistent with what was originally present. To achieve this, representative biological and landscape features that are common or extensive within an Ecological District (ED) are considered for protection, as well as those features which are special or unique. As knowledge and information about the presence and distribution of biota such as invertebrates and bryophytes is limited, the protection of the full range of habitat types is important for maintaining the diversity of lesser known species. This report differs from many PNAP reports in that: • it only covers the part of the ED within in the Northland Conservancy; • it is based mainly on a reconnaissance survey supplemented by existing pub- lished and unpublished information; and • it includes descriptions of all natural areas within the study area.
