  • Patearoa and Upper Taieri Community Plan

    Patearoa and Upper Taieri Community Plan

    Patearoa and Upper Taieri Community Plan April 2007 1 Patearoa Community Plan Executive Summary Process This Community Plan has emerged from a consultative process designed to encourage community participation. Emphasis has been placed on obtaining community views regarding the Patearoa area, identifying its points of difference and determining what opportunities there might be to ensure that it remains an attractive and desirable place in which to live, work and play. This Plan has distilled the individual opinions into a collective community vision and proposes a number of key recommendations that will assist in the development of Patearoa as a sustainable community. While the Plan has no legal status, it does provide an important insight on the direction the community would like to head for many of the organisations involved or identified in it. To this end having a community group to oversee the aims of this Plan, on behalf of the community, will be important and help to drive many of its recommendations. The Plan also notes that there is a community plan for the Maniototo and a plan for Naseby which need to be considered in conjunction with this Plan when looking at the Maniototo as a whole. In defining the Patearoa and Upper Taieri community, the Plan also acknowledges that there is a wider community including both private individuals and national organisations which for historical, ancestral and heritage reasons consider themselves to hold an interest in the future of this area. This plan provides a framework from which further activities and actions can be developed and this may see a possible broadening of the scope of the plan in the future.

  • Otago Region Waters of the Maniototo

    Waters of the Maniototo Otago Region Waters of the Maniototo ON THE MANIOTOTO there are several irrigation dams that have been built to collect water during the winter period for release over the summer. These dams never run dry and have turned into good fisheries. Most of these waters are on private land but permission has been granted by the landowners to fish. Therefore it is up to us, as anglers, to respect the wishes of the landowners as sometimes they have areas closed for lambing, stock or paddock work. Please take your rubbish away with you and on no account dig for worms on their property. Also leave your dog at home or chain it to your vehicle. WEST EWEBURN DAM: This water is set in the hills behind the Naseby forest and has its own stock of brown trout which don't grow to a very large size. All methods are used and the season runs from 1 October to 30 April, with a bag limit of six fish. Access: Off State Highway 85 on the Wedderburn- Naseby plantation road, then turn left into Reservoir road that takes you to the dam wall. COALPIT DAM: Built during the mining era to store water for gold recovery, it is situated in the Naseby forest and has been consistently stocked by Fish and Game over the years. It often gets an influx of trout from draining the water race in April. It is home to both rainbow and brown trout, and do not be surprised to catch a brook char as they are picked up by the Mt Ida race.

ISBN 978-0-478-37651-7 Prepared by: Justin Kitto Published September 2012 Water quality effects on instream values in the Upper Taieri iii Foreword The Otago Regional Council (ORC) carries out regular water quality monitoring as part of its State of Environment programme, as well as short-term targeted water quality monitoring programmes. This report provides the results from a more detailed, short-term investigation carried out in the upper Taieri River catchment. The Upper Taieri is well known for its natural values, including the regionally significant scroll plain wetland, endangered native fish and its trout fishery. However, water quality and ecology of the area is being put under pressure because of changing agricultural use, especially increasing use of irrigation and the intensification of land use. By using both regulatory and non-regulatory approaches, the ORC must ensure that the water quality in the region is maintained or if necessary enhanced. In line with this principle, the ORC is currently implementing a Rural Water Quality Strategy and revising its Water Plan, in consultation with the Otago community. The results of this report will be used to guide policy decisions.
