The elevated Brunner coal measures ecosystems are nationally unique: Te Kuha and Mt William are distinguished from all other parts of the elevated Brunner coal measures as they are the only discrete parts of the system that are essentially intact with no significant disruption to ecological patterns and processes and they represent the best example of coastal hillslope forest remaining on elevated Brunner coal measures. • The impacts, both in short and long time frames on significant biodiversity values of an opencast coal mine and associated infrastructure, are significant; the remedial effects of active restoration and site rehabilitation will be limited. • The suggested mitigation actions include avoidance measures, remedial actions and some mitigation and/or compensation suggestions.

  • History of Mining and Closure at Reefton Early Gold
    FACT SHEET HISTORY OF MINING AND CLOSURE AT REEFTON Gold was discovered on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island in the 1860s. Fortune seekers flocked from around the globe, seeking alluvial gold; tiny grains and nuggets washed down rivers and creeks. In the hills around Reefton there was another form of gold, trapped in the solid rock and buried deep underground in rich veins. Its discovery in 1870 made the district the centre of a gold mining boom. EARLY GOLD Tunnels and shafts drove deep into the rugged hills to reach reefs of gold-bearing quartz ore. Far below the surface, miners attacked the rock with picks and explosives. Above ground, stamper batteries crushed the quartz to release the precious metal. As gold fever grew, so did the town of Reefton. Shares in mining companies were bought and sold amid wild speculation. Many of the small gold mining companies soon collapsed. New mining equipment was introduced in the 1890s. Rock drills and air compressors were introduced, and an aerial tramway was constructed to carry the ore. At Consolidated’s Progress mine a giant battery of 65 stamps was built. By the early 1900s Cornishtown was a thriving township of 300 people supporting the busy Globe Progress underground mine. Eleven levels reaching down over 600 metres were used to mine the narrow quartz reefs. The mine closed in 1926 after producing over 400,000 ounces of gold. While other mines in the area would continue until the middle of the twentieth century, the era of underground gold mining at Globe Progress was over.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

  • West Coast Visitor Waste Management Strategy
    WEST COAST VISITOR WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AS AMENDED BY 2ND STAKEHOLDER MEETING IN GREYMOUTH ON 4TH OCTOBER 2006 PREPARED FOR : W EST COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT GROUP PREPARED BY : T OURISM RESOURCE CONSULTANTS , IN ASSOCIATION WITH LINCOLN UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This strategy has been developed to manage waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. It has been prepared for several parties: the West Coast Waste Management Working Group, an inter-agency working group consisting of: West Coast Regional Council; Buller District Council; Grey District Council; Westland District Council; Transit New Zealand; Department of Conservation; and the Ministry for Environment. Other parties also have an interest in the project, including Tourism West Coast and the Ministry of Tourism. The strategy has been prepared by Tourism Resource Consultants in association with Lincoln University. It has been prepared following meetings with council staff, Transit New Zealand, Opus and various community, waste management and visitor industry representatives on and off the West Coast. Relevant information on visitor sites and facilities were integrated into a database and ‘Hot-Spots’ (areas under substantial pressure from visitors) were identified. Our goal with this strategy is to: Minimise effects of waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. Our objectives to achieve this, are to: Provide a level of infrastructure and service that is cost-effective, integrated and of the right capacity to cope with present and future growth in the visitor industry; Provide effective information and education so that visitors use waste management facilities; Discourage non-complying activities and enforce financial consequences for visitors who are not using waste management facilities.
