Omokoroa Community Board Report
November 2016 Volume: 14 Issue: 09 Omokoroa Community Board Report by Murray Grainger Chairman The structure of the Omokoroa Community Board for the next triennium was ratified at the formal swearing in ceremony, held in Te Puke on 10th November. After all the newly elected Council and Community Board members were sworn in, a brief first meeting was held to appoint the Chairman and Deputy. I was elected as Chairman and Teresa Sage as Deputy along with Peter Presland and Derek Sage. We are joined by John Palmer and Margaret Murray-Benge, the Councillors appointed by the Mayor to work with us. John, of course, served on the Community Board before stepping up to Councillor level and Margaret has a wealth of experience at Councillor level. We are keen to engage with our community and it was made abundantly clear in our initial induction sessions that our new Mayor, Garry Webber, wants future plans for WBPDC to be led from the ground up, not the top down. To that end, we are exploring ways and means of making it easy for the residents and ratepayers of Omokoroa to engage and feel involved in what happens in the next three years and to steer the vision for the future of Omokoroa over the following 10 – 20 years. Although we may have a higher proportion of retirees than the national average, there are others here with commitments that make it hard for them to get along to meetings or to put in submissions etc. so we have created an online forum to assist. -

Aongatete Nature Education Programme Teacher Information
AONGATETE NATURE EDUCATION PROGRAMME TEACHER INFORMATION AONGATETE EDUCATION PROGRAMME 2019 TEACHER INFORMATION The Aongatete Forest Project (AFP) is a 500 ha pest managed area in the Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park, located between Katikati and Tauranga. The project began in 2006 with pest control over 245 ha, followed by extension of this area to 500 ha in 2013. The purpose of the AFP was to demonstrate and advocate for the desperate need to provide larger scale pest control across the Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park to prevent further decline of this area. The Aongatete Forest Project kaupapa provides a fantastic opportunity for students to • discover how incredibly unique New Zealand is • gain an insight into many of the conservation challenges in New Zealand • learn a set of practical conservation skills they can use to make a positive difference in their • communities. Titipounamu/Rifleman, Aotearoa’s smallest bird, were first confirmed as present at Aongatete around 2013. Titipounamu are a declining endemic New Zealand species at risk from introduced mammalian predators and like so many of our native species they are cavity nesters. Due to the loss of suitable natural nesting sites nest-boxes can provide a low cost and non-lethal method to protect rifleman nests from predators. Late last year the first confirmed breeding success of titipounamu in a nest box was recorded at Aongatete! 1 OVERVIEW The environmental science focus of the Aongatete Education Programme (AEP) is delivered via a range of hands-on activities carried out by conservation field staff here at Aongatete and similar conservation sites across the country. -

Aongatete Sub-Catchment Action Plan 2012
Aongatete Sub-Catchment Action Plan 2012 The Aongatete Sub-Catchment Action Plan is one of a series about the sub-catchments surrounding Tauranga Harbour. This action plan provides an analysis of the current land management issues, a summary of the available physical resources in the Aongatete sub-catchment, and planned action for land and resource use in the sub-catchment. Published October 2012 Aongatete Sub-Catchment Action Plan Page 1 Introduction The Aongatete sub-catchment is five km south of Katikati. It is 8308 hectares in area and flows from the Kaimai Ranges and enters the harbour between Matahui and Morton Roads. The Aongatete sub-catchment is part of the Tauranga Ecological District. The sub-catchment is 14.5 km long and 6 km wide. It includes 320 km of riparian margins and 10 km of harbour margin. The primary waterways in the sub-catchment are the Aongatete and Whatakao Rivers. There are four named tributary streams (Kauritatahi, Pahangahanga, Poupou and Waitioka) and numerous unnamed tributaries. The most widely spread land cover in the sub-catchment is indigenous bush at 56 percent. Pasture covers 32 percent, horticultural 10 percent and exotic forest two percent. Large areas Source: BOPRC, ESRI, i-cubed, USGS, NASA, NOA of estuarine wetlands surround the Aongatete estuary. Sub-catchment soils are derived from air-fall ash and belong to the Katikati soil series. These soils are classified Typic Orthic Allophanic, which have a high allophonic (clay) mineral content. These soils are versatile with no rooting barriers, however the physical structure is poor. This indicates these soils are vulnerable to erosion under poor vegetation cover or intensive land-use. -
