Thorpe † † School of Biological Sciences (Tamaki Campus), University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Corresponding author: Stephen E. Thorpe ([email protected]) Academic editor: Laurence Livermore Received: 24 Jul 2013 | Accepted: 06 Aug 2013 | Published: 16 Sep 2013 Citation: Thorpe S (2013) Casuarinicola australis Taylor, 2010 (Hemiptera: Triozidae), newly recorded from New Zealand. Biodiversity Data Journal 1: e953. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.1.e953 Abstract The presence in New Zealand of the triozid Casuarinicola australis Taylor, 2010 is reported for the first time, based on new material from Auckland. This is also the first record of the genus from New Zealand. Keywords Casuarinicola australis, Casuarina, New Zealand, Auckland, new record, Triozidae Introduction Casuarinicola australis Taylor, 2010 was described from Australia, where it is the most common and widespread member of its genus, being widely distributed in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. Like its congeners, it is restricted to host trees of the genus Casuarina. Casuarinicola australis occurs on all Australian species of Casuarina, including C. cunninghamiana and C. glauca. Both these species of Casuarina are exotic and present in the wild in New Zealand, according to the New Zealand Organisms Register (NZOR), as well as present in cultivation. Casuarinicola has not been reported (by name) previously from N.Z. © Thorpe S.

  • Shell NZ and Mobil Oil NZ
    1 PUBLIC VERSION COMMERCE ACT 1986: BUSINESS ACQUISITION SECTION 66: NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE 20 June 2008 By email: [email protected] The Registrar Market Structure Group Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 WELLINGTON Pursuant to s 66 (1) of the Commerce Act 1986 notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Clearance is sought for Shell New Zealand Limited (SNZ), or an interconnected body corporate of SNZ, to acquire Mobil Oil New Zealand Limited’s (MONZ’s) “Aerostop Network” assets (the acquisition). MONZ’s Aerostop Network comprises 48 unattended refuelling facilities at 34 local and regional airfields throughout New Zealand, which are used to supply Aviation Jet Fuel (Jet A1) and Aviation Gasoline (Avgas). The refuelling facilities consist of a fuel tank or tanks and “swipe card bowsers” (fuel pumps which are activated with customer swipe cards). 2. Jet A1 and Avgas are specialist aviation fuels. They are used in different aircraft and must be stored and transported separately. Jet A1 is a kerosene grade fuel used in turbine aircraft (such as 737s, 767s, helicopters and turbo prop aircraft). Avgas is a motor spirit based fuel used for light piston engine aircraft and helicopters. 3. The relevant supplies fall within the “General Aviation” segment of the broader Aviation Fuels market. The customers in this segment are users of light aircraft and helicopters engaged in a range of activities from recreational flying, tourism, agriculture, search and rescue, air charter and flying schools. The other segments of the Aviation Fuels market (which are not affected by the proposal) are the “Big Jet” (wide body aircraft: domestic and international carriers) and “Domestic/Special Carrier” sectors (turboprop aircraft operated by Air New Zealand Domestic, Air New Zealand Link and low cost airlines), and the “Military”.

  • THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – Kainga Nga Ika Me Nga Wheua Katoa! Auckland – Where the Fish Are So Succulent You Can Eat Them Bones and All!
    THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – kainga nga ika me nga wheua katoa! Auckland – where the fish are so succulent you can eat them bones and all! This proverb alludes to the once abundant and sought after marine resources of Auckland’s waterfront. It signals Waterfront Auckland’s desire to create a sustainable waterfront providing for the current and future generations of Aucklanders. A place all Aucklanders can access the Waitemata Harbour for recreation, business or cultural practices. FOREWORD The waterfront has reignited Aucklander’s pride in their city. The pride and enthusiasm with which Aucklanders have embraced their new waterfront continues to amaze me. Although in its infancy, stage one of the redeveloped Wynyard Quarter and the expanse of Queens Wharf, attract people day after day, rain and shine. When Waterfront Auckland put forward its draft plans for the redevelopment of the whole waterfront last year we received hundreds of letters, emails and submissions. Most were hugely positive. “Just get on with it!” was the cry. Our job at Waterfront Auckland is to lead the momentum of the revitalisation, and of pride. Having listened to Aucklanders, we have refined our plans and here, we present a vision for how the waterfront could be redeveloped, how it can continue to create transformational change.
