Planning is well advanced for the West Coast Whitebait Festival with a range of coordinated events and activities up and down the Coast being firmed up and implemented. These include a whitebait menu challenge and a whitebait photography competition to compliment some great community initiatives and venues. For example, Hokitika Museum will be holding a whitebait themed exhibition showing the history and importance of whitebait to the West Coast economy and community. The iconic Shanty Town will be hosting activities as part of the festival including exhibitions, food and beverage activities. The Department of Conservation and Tai Poutini Polytechnic will also be involved through educational activities, culinary activities and hospitality services. We are currently seeking support from the South Westland community and businesses who would like to be part of the festival celebrations. If you have any community events and activities planned for Spring 2011 that you would like promoted, or your business has any special deals and promotions planned for visitors around that time, please con- tact Dominic on 0276816555 or [email protected] for more information.

Although I did not attend the incident I have been told the emergency services including the numerous volunteers involved did a thoroughly professional and outstanding job once again. Where would we be without the members of our community who dedicate time and effort to help. On a different matter but one that is just as lethal; firearms. We have recently received a newsletter from the NZ Mountain Safety Council about non intentional firearms incidents. In the last 10 years there have been 24 fatalities from firearms. 9 of these were failure to identify the target and 10 were having a firearm loaded when it should not have been. Remember do not load your firearm until you are ready to fire and identify your target beyond all doubt. With Easter coming up you wouldn't want to have to tell the kids you accidentally shot the Easter bunny on his rounds Anyone going into the bush please be prepared for almost any eventuality. It may be nice when you leave but as all locals know the conditions can change very quickly and be very unforgiving. Let someone know your plans and keep to them. Remember times have changed over the years and technology is there to help us with radios, cell phones, locator beacons and global positioning systems all readily available. They may not be cheap to buy but it depends what value you put on a life. I told someone the other day they could call 111 from their satellite phone. I have checked up on this and a satellite phone can not be used to call the 111 system but instead you have to call a direct dial number of 03 363 7400 for the communications centre and ask for comms. Remember you can still call 111 from a cell phone or alternatively *555. If you see a something unusual or suspicious let us know sooner rather than later so we can check it out. I won't give you a list of jobs police have attended this month as I have been away for most of it but we are still reasonably busy. But never too busy to stop for a friendly chat if you are passing by. If you are heading away for the Easter break or the school holidays remember to give your vehicle a good check over, make sure it is up to date and safe. Drive safe and always be prepared for the unexpected. Safer communities together Bill Parker Franz Josef 3 4 5 Bruce Bay Bugle May 2011 Grandparents time… Seems like April has been a very busy time for the Grandparents of the area! Jacqui Low from Bruce Bay has been spending the entire time juggling her four beautiful grandsons with her job in Greymouth. Annette and Geoff Wilson from Bruce Bay have been visiting their grandchildren in Canterbury, Maree and Paul Wilson from Hunt’s Beach are excitedly awaiting the arrival of their latest grandchild, baby Harris, in July and Graham and Brenda Monk of Paringa have welcomed Olivia Coral Monk into the Monk family. (Thanks Jana and Glenn!) Kaye and Warner Adamson’s garden at Manakaiua is looking magnificent and maybe there was some help from visiting Australian grandchildren involved there. Mata and Ken Holliday from Lake Paringa are heading off the Queensland to visit all their grandchildren and escape some of our winter and also celebrate a very special birthday! Happy 70th Birthday Ken. We are all looking sideways at every couple at the moment hoping for a bulge (the future of the school depends on it!!) We have not had our pumpkin harvest weigh in yet so can’t report any successful pumpkin stories—next month! (Wonder if this is what happened to them??? ―Editor’ ) VICTIM SUPPORT NZ ARE LOOKING FOR FIVE VOLUNTEERS Why volunteer? www.victimsupport.org.nz Helping people is incredibly rewarding. Knowing you're making a difference in a person's life – when they most need it – is an enriching experience. You're also making a difference in your community, in society as a whole. Every time a Victim Support volunteer steps up and helps someone, society is collectively helping to put right the wrong that's been done. That's huge. What sort of person is a Victim Support volunteer? Victim Support volunteers come from all walks of life. They are men and women of all ages who have different occupations and interests. Victim Support volunteers have an absolute commitment to helping people when they need it most – after a crime or trauma. What skills do you need? Firstly, you must have a car and a current driver's license. You'll be the sort of person that's a good listener and communicator, and you'll be able to problem solve calmly during high stress times. What does a volunteer do? Volunteers provide support information and practical assistance to people affected by crime and trauma. This might be just hours after the incident, or in the days and weeks, sometimes months, later Training would be provided for South Westland volunteers. If you are interested here’s the contact.

  • West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board
    Meeting Paper For West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board TITLE OF PAPER STATUS REPORT AUTHOR: Jan Hania SUBJECT: Status Report for the Board for period ending 30 January 2015 DATE: 4 February 2015 SUMMARY: This report provides information on activities throughout the West Coast since the 28 November 2014 meeting of the West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board. MARINE PLACE The annual New Zealand fur seal pup monitoring is being undertaken on Taumaka (one of the Open Bay islands), Wekakura and Cape Foulwind from 26-30 January. The information is a valuable component of assessing population dynamics of the species. There have been some interesting recent sightings of blue whales off the coast – see below. Groups of blue whales are not very common outside the polar seas, and these may be related to groups seen off Taranaki in recent years http://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/9680087/A-rare-sight-Blue-whales-in-NZ-waters There is also an aerial Hector’s dolphin population survey presently underway off the West Coast Tai Poutini, being done by Cawthron Institute under contract to Ministry for Primary Industries. This mainly involves a series of line transects going up to 20 miles offshore, between Farewell Spit and Milford Sound/Piopiotahi, similar to a survey that was done about 15 years ago. KARAMEA PLACE Planning Comments were provided on two filming applications in the Kahurangi National Park. Visitor Management The new Mackay Hut on the Heaphy Great Walk is open and in use. The old hut is in the process of being decommissioned and will be removed from site by mid February.

  • NZ Fur Seal Census
    Environmental Consultants Pty Ltd __________________________________________________________________ Census of New Zealand Fur Seals on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island Report prepared for Deepwater Group Limited Barry Baker, Katrina Jensz, Martin Cawthorn & Ross Cunningham October 2009 Census of New Zealand Fur Seals on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island 1. Introduction The New Zealand fur seal Arctocephalus forsteri breeds around New Zealand and its offshore islands, and along the coastline of southern Australia. They are the most common seal in New Zealand waters and have had a long association with humans. Originally exploited for meat, oil, fur, and leather by early Polynesian arrivals to New Zealand (c. 1000 AD) and Europeans (c. 1792) (Lalas and Bradshaw 2001), New Zealand fur seals received full protection under the New Zealand Marine Mammals Protection Act of 1978 (Boren et al. 2006). As a result the NZ fur seal has now has successfully begun to recolonise areas of its former range. A reliable estimate of the current total population within the New Zealand region is unknown, but ~100,000 individuals was suggested by Harcourt (2001). The last comprehensive survey of the population of NZFS was conducted in 1973 by Wilson (1981), who generated a single population estimate for the entire New Zealand region of 39,000 animals (range 30,000 – 50,000). Over the last 30 years the distribution of fur seals has rapidly expanded along much of the New Zealand coastline, with breeding colonies and haul-outs (non –breeding colonies) re-establishing around the South Island, and into the North Island.

    Meeting Paper For West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board TITLE OF PAPER STATUS REPORT AUTHOR: Mark Davies SUBJECT: Status Report for the Board for period ending 2 September 2016 DATE: 6 September 2016 SUMMARY: This report provides information on activities throughout the West Coast since the 15 July 2016 meeting of the West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board. MARINE PLACE – There is nothing to report in this period MONITORING The West Coast monitoring team are about to collect a series of five-minute bird counts and distance sampling data in the Heaphy valley. This is a repeat of last year’s survey to provide base line data to monitor changes in bird abundance and diversity. Last year’s survey found that all the common forest birds were present, indicating an intact community, although the rarer species were missing. Base line kiwi call count monitoring of Great Spotted Kiwis in MacKay Downs found an average call rate of 5 calls per hour. This is similar to the nearby Gunner Downs and Gouland Downs, but much lower than the Heaphy valley (12 calls/hour) and this is thought to reflect the differences in habitat. DOCDM- 2854178 - Status Report September 2016 1 KARAMEA PLACE Planning Resource Consents received, Concessions/Permissions, Management Plans Two comments were completed by the district on plant samples and guided fishing. Grazing monitoring has been undertaken on four properties.

The remainder of the work (Mackay Hill and Twin beach) still progressing.
