Stage 1 of the Proposed Waikato District Plan (PDP) was notified on 18 July 2018. This encompassed the review of all provisions of the Operative Waikato District Plan, except natural hazards and climate change matters, which form part of Stage 2 of the review. Stage 2 of the PDP was notified on 27 July 2020 and the hearing of submissions is imminent. 2. In accordance with section 34A(1) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), the Waikato District Council (Council) appointed a seven-member Independent Commissioners Hearings Panel (the Panel) to hear and make decisions on the submissions on the PDP. While seven commissioners were appointed to hear and decide the PDP, a subset of four commissioners were tasked to hear and decide the submissions seeking rezoning of Ohinewai: a. Dr Phil Mitchell (Chair) b. Mr Paul Cooney (Deputy Chair) c. Mr Dynes Fulton d. Mr Weo Maag 3. This Decision addresses submissions seeking the rezoning of land at Ohinewai. Ohinewai is located on the eastern banks of the Waikato River, 9km north of Huntly and has a population of approximately 245. The existing development at Ohinewai comprises largely rural land uses and is dissected by the Waikato Expressway and the North Island Main Trunk railway line which run parallel. There is significant dairy and dry stock farming on the eastern side of the Waikato Expressway, as well as smaller lifestyle rural uses with nine dwellings (zoned Village Zone in the PDP) located on the eastern side of Lumsden Road, ranging from 1550m2 to 5ha in size. Lake Rotokawau Reserve is located on the eastern side also. The more residential part of Ohinewai Village is located on the western side of the Waikato Expressway. It includes the Ohinewai Community Hall, Ohinewai Primary School, former commercial buildings which are now disused, an industrial yard, residential properties on sections in the order of 1000m2 and a range of rural activities including greenhouses and an orchard. In the wider Ohinewai area there are large industrial uses including a sawmill, transportable house construction and house relocation companies. 1.2 Primary Submissions 4. At the close of submissions on 9 October 2018, Council received over 300 submissions seeking some form of rezoning in the district. Seven submissions addressing the zoning at Ohinewai were received from the following submitters: a. Ambury Properties Limited [764]; b. Planning Focus Limited [383]; c. Shand Properties Limited [738]; Page | 5 Decision Report 2: Ohinewai Rezoning Report and Decisions of the Waikato District Plan Hearings Panel d. Ohinewai Land Limited [428]; e. Ohinewai Area Committee [793]; f. PLB Construction [804]; and g. Ribbonwood Family Trust [863]. 5. Planning Focus Limited [383.1] withdrew its submission on 16 March 2020, and consequently we have not considered that submission, nor any associated further submissions. 6. The submissions seeking a change of zoning in and around Ohinewai could result in a significant change of land use from the current predominantly rural uses. The most detailed proposal was from Ambury Properties Limited (APL), for 178ha of land bounded by Lumsden Road, Tahuna Road and Balemi Road. This is referred to throughout this decision as ‘the APL Proposal’ and includes the introduction of urban zones, an Ohinewai Structure Plan and customised plan provisions applying to Ohinewai. Although the proposal evolved considerably between the time that the submission was lodged on 9 October 2018 until the closing statement from APL’s legal counsel was lodged with the Council on 23 September 2020, the proposal fundamentally comprises of a mix of urban zones and uses: a. 68ha of industrial zoned land, including 37ha for the TCG Sleepyhead factory; b. 13ha of business / commercial zoned land for a service station, discount factory outlet shops, community facilities and a small amount of convenience retail; c. 52ha of residential land for up to 1100 homes; and d. 55ha of public open space including stormwater management areas, recreational facilities, ecological enhancement areas and other community areas.1 7. Directly south of the APL Proposal and also on rural land, Ohinewai Lands Limited (OLL) sought that a further growth area (39ha) be signalled within the Ohinewai Structure Plan proposed by APL (‘the OLL Proposal’). No ‘live’ zoning was sought at this stage, with the intent being to allow for future low density residential use and open space by way of a future plan change. 8.

  • [Review] for Vote Transport
    Hon Bill English Minister of Finance 7.6 Executive Wing Parliament Buildings WELLINGTON Dear Bill VALUE FOR MONEY REVIEW – VOTE TRANSPORT Purpose This letter responds to your letter dated 17 December 2008 and the Cabinet Business Committee paper CBC (08) 563. In line with the letter and Cabinet paper, I have asked the Ministry to review Vote Transport to identify: • savings that could be freed up for Budget 2009; • programmes that are inconsistent with the government’s priorities and should be discontinued; • programmes that are inconsistent with the government’s priorities and should be looked into; • programmes and expenditure that are not effective or efficient; • areas where performance information is currently insufficient to judge effectiveness or efficiency and actions that are required to make improvements by the next review. Vote Transport summary A summary of the funding under Vote Transport is attached to this letter. It is separated between departmental and non-departmental funding. Departmental funding The Ministry of Transport’s departmental funding will decrease by $3.685 million over the next three years mainly due to the cessation of medium-term project funding. In addition to the planned decrease in funding, the Ministry has forecast unavoidable cost increases arising from existing commitments in relation to staff costs (salaries), building and other expenses. These are expected to add a further $3.377 million by 2011/2012, or 12 percent of the baseline funding of $28.4 million. My Chief Executive has made a commitment

  • Case Study in Waikato Soils for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway
    Yong, I. & Clayton, P.B. (2017) Application of Soil Specific Correction Factors for Liquefaction Assessment: Case Study in Waikato Soils for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway. Proc. 20th NZGS Geotechnical Symposium. Eds. GJ Alexander & CY Chin, Napier Application of soil specific correction factors for liquefaction assessment: case study in Waikato soils for the Hamilton section of the Waikato expressway Irene Yong Geotechnical Engineer, Beca Auckland, NZ [email protected] Philip Clayton Technical Director, Beca Auckland, NZ. [email protected] (Corresponding author) Keywords: Fines Correction, Ic Cutoff, Liquefaction, Hamilton Ash, Waikato. ABSTRACT The four-lane, 21.8 kilometre long, Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway is the largest roading project undertaken in this region’s history and one of the larger projects currently being undertaken in New Zealand. Many of the seventeen expressway bridges in the Hamilton Section are underlain by Pleistocene soils assessed as having a high liquefaction potential. Typically the soils encountered are volcanic in origin either as primary tephra deposits or reworked volcanically derived material. A number of researchers have noted the potential for misclassification of such soils by the CPT, therefore it was decided to undertake co-located borehole/SCPT/SDMT and laboratory classification testing for use in conjunction with a site wide geologic model to develop soil specific correction factors for use in liquefaction assessment. Soil specific correction factors were investigated for the Ic sand like/clay like cut-off (B&I 2014) and the fines content (Cfc). The specific correction factors derived are presented along with examples from the project showing the consequence, some of which are significant, of adopting soil specific correlations.

  • A Study of Some Effects of the Wairakei Geothermal Power Station Upon the Waikato River
    TANE 21, 1975 A STUDY OF SOME EFFECTS OF THE WAIRAKEI GEOTHERMAL POWER STATION UPON THE WAIKATO RIVER by G.J. Cox*, Sally M. Naylor f, and D.E. Thomson ft SUMMARY The effects of heated discharges from the Wairakei Geothermal Power Scheme upon the Waikato River have been investigated. Water temperature, oxygen content and mercury concentration were measured at a number of points above and below the station and aquatic life was studied (the data on the flora has yet to be fully analysed and can thus only be described briefly here). Marked local effects on both the aquatic life and paramaters of water quality were observed. However, although further investigation is warranted, particularly of the discharge rates of heavy metals such as mercury, the scheme does not appear to contribute significantly to the pollution of the Waikato River. INTRODUCTION A number of reports dealing with various aspects of the Wairakei Geothermal Power Station and its effects on the Waikato River have been published since the station became operative in the late 1950's. This work has recently been summarised by Axtmann1 who included a number of New Zealand Electricity Department reports in his references. However certain topics such as thermal mixing and the effects of the outputs from both station and bore fields on the aquatic life, have been virtually ignored. It was chiefly to provide some information on these that the present study was initiated. The study was confined to a single week in the mid-winter (11 to 16 August) of 1974. The power station-bore complex has two outlets into the Waikato River, the more obvious one being the discharge of cooling water used to condense the stream which is used to drive the powerhouse turbines.

  • Mercer Airport – Submitter #921 – Hearing Highlights Package
    Mercer Airport – Submitter #921 – Hearing Highlights Package Chris Dawson - Planning 1.1 The correct approach under the RMA is to determine what district plan provisions (or zone) most appropriately assist Waikato District Council to carry out its functions to achieve the purpose of the Act. The critical evaluation is set out in s32 of the Act which determines determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed provisions in achieving the objectives of the Proposed Waikato District Plan (PDP). 1.2 Mercer Airport requires a special zone to recognise that it is already a regionally significant aviation resource and should be formally protected in the District Plan as such. The rezoning, plus Obstacle Limitation Surfaces1 and Air Noise Boundary2 provisions are required to protect that facility and provide it with the operational certainty to grow over time in the future. 1.3 The most appropriate time to provide the statutory protection for the airport and the surrounding community is now before the Mercer area gets more developed than it already is. The implementation of a Special Zone for Mercer Airport is essential to ensure that the Proposed Waikato District Plan is consistent with the relevant higher order documents, specifically the Operative Waikato Regional Policy Statement Policy 6.3 and Method 6.3.1. 1.4 The policy direction of the Rural Zone is a relevant consideration under s32 of the Act, and Lens 2 of the s42A Framework report because that zone informs the existing environment and will continue to be applied over the

The issue was widely publicised nationally and internationally in 2002 when it came to the attention of the media. The small wetland and culturally significant site (~30 m by 20 m) was located between the existing road and the Waikato River, adjacent to the planned Expressway. Transit NZ had also identified the vicinity as having —higher environmental value than adjacent land“ (Transit New Zealand 2002b) and there was a spring feeding a small remnant of kahikatea trees ( Podocarpus dacrydiodes ) œ a fact never presented by the media. —While a lot of the area we are working on is in swamp, this section over about 30 metres appears to be a spring which may be significant for a large stand of kahikatea trees, which need to be protected“ (Transit New Zealand 2002b), —The discussions to date with Ngati Naho had focussed on how the Expressway could be constructed past this section in a manner which preserved the nature of the site“ (Transit New Zealand 2002b).
