The Atlas is available through the public area of the Regional Council website and in hard copy from Regional Council offices in Wellington and . For further information and assistance please contact these offices or your local district council. Proposed Regional Policy Statement: Policy 24: Identifying outstanding natural features and landscapes The datasets selected for inclusion in the Atlas are intended to provide a broad overview of the region’s landscape resource. These can be used to communicate landscape Policy 26: Identifying significant amenity landscape values concepts to different stakeholder groups and as a basis for further landscape assessment. Method 49: Prepare a regional landscape character description These datasets are however limited to those that can be clearly communicated at a scale of 1:500,000 or 1:250,000 as is detailed in Figure 2 and Table1. Figure 1: Study Area

The relationships between the data sets in the Landscape Atlas and the landscape resource are illustrated in Figure 2. The maps included in the Wellington Region Landscape Atlas have been grouped broadly into the categories of: • Landform: reflecting the underlying geology, topography and attendant processes such as erosion etc. • Landcover: vegetation, water bodies and soil conditions • Landuse: reflecting the cultural and social processes which significantly modify landform and landcover within the region • Landscape management: these maps are generated through a composite analysis of landform, landcover, and landuse data and/or evaluative landscape assessment In addition to the Landscape Atlas there are two other components of the GIS database:

The Wellington Region GIS Landscape Database has been created to support both ASSESSING SIGNIFICANT AMENITY LANDSCAPES AND OUTSTANDING the district by district landscape character descriptions and the district by district NATURAL LANDSCAPE AND OUTSTANDING NATURAL FEATURES evaluative assessment of significant amenity landscapes and outstanding natural features and outstanding natural landscapes. The Wellington Region GIS Database will also provide an important resource that can be used in the assessment of landscapes (and features within them) that have LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENTS (LCA) a particular status under the RMA. The Atlas, Geodatabase and 3D Visualisation features can be used to support the desktop study and stakeholder consultation Landscape character assessments are used to provide a description of the natural phases of these assessments and to communicate the findings. In particular, the and cultural elements, patterns and processes that can be used to distinguish one GIS Database has been designed to support the assessment of; area from another. In the initial stages of an LCA, base landform, landcover and landuse and landscape management data is compiled and used to prepare map Outstanding Natural Landscapes and Outstanding Natural Features overlays of different landscape factors. These maps are used as the basis for (ONL/ONF) defining areas of distinct character which can then be checked in the field. These areas are then mapped as distinct landscape character units and as landscape Under section 6b of the RMA all persons exercising functions and powers under character types; where the units are classified into groups of common character. it, in relation to managing the use, development, and protection of natural and physical resources, shall recognise and provide for the following matters of national The Wellington Region GIS Landscape Database establishes a comprehensive and importance; the protection of outstanding natural features and landscapes from readily accessible set of landform, landcover, landuse and landscape management inappropriate subdivision, use, and development. base data that can be used to facilitate a consistent and comprehensive desktop study in an LCA.

Amenity values are defined in the Act as those natural or physical qualities and characteristics of an area that contribute to people’s appreciation of its pleasantness, aesthetic coherence, and cultural and recreational attributes.

The proposed Regional Policy Statement provides criteria specific to the identification of significant amenity landscapes. Policy 26 states that District and Regional plans shall identify significant amenity landscapes using the following criteria and having determined the landscape has important landscape values under one or more of the criteria; natural science values, aesthetic values, expressiveness, transient values, shared and recognised values, tangata whenua values and/or important

From time to time this will necessitate the revision of the Atlas where it becomes obvious that the data sets used to create the maps have changed substantially and where new data sets become available that are able to be clearly communicated THE LANDCOVER MAPS within the Atlas. For example, findings from the landscape character assessments may be able to be included in subsequent versions of the Atlas. Existing patterns of Landcover in the region have resulted from the interrelationships of natural and cultural processes and elements over time. Catchment, soil and broad landcover typology maps included in the Atlas can also be used to inform the Atlas updates will be advertised and made available through the Regional Council characterisation process involved in a landscape character assessment.

For example, where patterns of native vegetation contribute to the identification of outstanding natural landscapes. Additional landcover datasets and more detailed analysis of the landcover resource can be achieved through use of the Geodatabase and the 3D Visualisation Features of the Wellington Region GIS Database.

The data provided in this atlas and landscape geodatabase is current as of the date of publication. GIS data like any data source is regularly THE LANDUSE MAPS updated at the TA and regional authority levels. Please refer to the “Notes” section of legend area for a description of the dataset including Key landuse patterns that have resulted from the interrelationships between source, date and statutory status. cultural elements and processes are illustrated in the Atlas. These maps have been created through an interpretation of district plan map data and national heritage and ! infrastructural information. Additional landuse datasets and more detailed analysis of the landuse resource can be achieved through use of the Geodatabase and the 3D Visualisation Features of the Wellington Region Database. More detailed analysis will be particularly important where the scale of landuse data has, in particular, limited what can be mapped in this way.

THE LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT MAPS

These maps illustrate national and regional landscape classifications that have been generated from a composite analysis of datasets; the Landcare Research LENZ, the DOC Environmental Management Areas and the Regional Council Eco Domains. This data may assist in both descriptive and evaluative assessment.

In addition, this section of the Atlas includes the findings of previous descriptive and evaluative regional and territorial authority landscape assessments.

Landscape character, significant amenity landscapes and outstanding natural features and outstanding natural landscapes maps will be included in subsequent versions of the Atlas as Policies 24 and 26 of the proposed RPS are implemented.
