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: This Atlas is available through the Greater Wellington Regional Council. 4 1 LANDFORM • Topography incl. elevation, slope • Geology incl. geopreservation sites • Landform types • Hydrology incl. catchments • LENZ • Envt Mgt Areas • Ecodomains • Signifi cant landscapes • Landscape Character • Landuse Capability LANDCOVER • Urban areas and infrastructure • Public Land LANDUSE • Landcover types • Heritage networks Figure 2: The Landscape Resource: Map Atlas dataset relationships Note: Data sets inlcuded are intended to give a broad overview of the Wellington Region Landscape Resource.

  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years. By Dr Rebecca Townsend 1 Key Points 1. 2. 3.

  • Local Government Leaders' Climate Change Declaration
    Local Government Leaders’ Climate Change Declaration In 2015, Mayors and Chairs of New Zealand declared an urgent need for responsive leadership and a holistic approach to climate change. We, the Mayors and Chairs of 2017, wholeheartedly support that call for action. Climate change presents significant opportunities, challenges and risks to communities throughout the world and in New Zealand. Local and regional government undertakes a wide range of activities that will be impacted by climate change and provides infrastructure and services useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience. We have come together, as a group of Mayors and Chairs representing local government from across New Zealand to: 1. acknowledge the importance and urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generations; 2. give our support to the New Zealand Government for developing and implementing, in collaboration with councils, communities and businesses, an ambitious transition plan toward a low carbon and resilient New Zealand; 3. encourage Government to be more ambitious with climate change mitigation measures; 4. outline key commitments our councils will take in responding to the opportunities and risks posed by climate change; and 5. recommend important guiding principles for responding to climate change. We ask that the New Zealand Government make it a priority to develop and implement an ambitious transition plan for a low carbon and resilient New Zealand. We stress the benefits of early action to moderate the costs of adaptation to our communities. We are all too aware of challenges we face shoring up infrastructure and managing insurance costs.

    Marlboroughtown Marshlands Rapaura Ravenscliff Spring Creek Tuamarina Waikakaho Wairau Bar Wairau Pa Marlboroughtown (1878- 1923) Spring Creek (1923-) Pre 1878 1873 4th June 1873 Marlborough Provincial Council meeting included: This morning petitions were presented by Mr Dodson in favour of a vote for. Marlboroughtown School; from 15 ratepayers, against the annexation of a portion of the County of Wairau to the Borough of Blenheim another vote of £100 for a Library and Public Room in Havelock was carried. Mr Dodson moved for a vote of £50 for the School in Marlboroughtown, but a vigorous discussion arose upon it regarding Educational finance, in which Mr Seymour announced that Government would not consent to the various items for school buildings, and upon the particular subject being put to the vote it was lost. 11th June 1873 The following petition, signed by fourteen persons, was presented .to the Provincial Council by Mr George Dodson; To his Honor the Superintendent and Provincial Council of Marlborough, in Council assembled We, the undersigned residents of Spring Creek and Marlboroughtown, do humbly beg that your Honorable Council will take into consideration this our humble petition. That we have for some years felt the necessity of establishing a school in our district, and having done so we now find a great difficulty in providing the necessary funds for its maintenance, and we do humbly pray that your Honorable Council will grant such assistance as will enable us to carry on the school successfully, as without your assistance the school must lapse, We have a Teacher engaged at a salary of Fifty (50) Pounds per annum, and since the commencement of the school the attendance has been steadily increasing showing at the present time a daily average of twenty (20) children.

  • Productivity Commission Thank You for the Opportunity to Participate in This Review. South Wairarapa District Council Supports T
    Productivity Commission Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this review. South Wairarapa District Council supports the submissions made by Local Government New Zealand, and Society of Local Government Managers. In addition, we have commented briefly to some of the questions from this small, rural, local authority's perspective. Ql What other differingcircumstances across councils are relevant for understanding local governmentfunding and financingissues? SWDC is a small local authority with a large geographical area. In addition, one of our idiosyncrasies, shared by a few others, is that we have three towns of roughly the same size 1,800 to 2,500 population each. It is therefore difficult to get economies of scale, we have three of everything.... Libraries, pools, halls .... In particular, changing legislation has required three wastewater systems, treated wastewater to land. This is a $30M project across 4,000 connections. South Wairarapa District Council supports the submissions made by Local Government New Zealand, and Society of Local Government Managers. Q2 What explains the differencebetween the amount that councils account for depreciation and the amount spent on renewing assets? Are changes needed to the methods councils use to estimate depreciation? If so, what changes are needed? The difference is that depreciation rates do not reflect reality. SWDC has moved away from funding based on depreciation to funding based on forward works programs. We have modelled our infrastructural asset network (a significant proportion of this modelling included actual asset inspection) out to 2106. This modelling allowed us to significantly reduce the amount we rate funded (by nearly 50%). We still a rte fund the same amount, but have been able to use divert funding to pay for the wastewater to land project.
