    APPENDIX 3 Operative Kāpiti Coast District Plan Objectives and Policies Proposed Kāpiti Coast District Plan Objectives and Policies S149(G)3 Key Issues Report – Kāpiti Coast District Council C.1: RESIDENTIAL ZONE C.1 RESIDENTIAL ZONE Over 90% of the district's population live on less than 4% of the land. This land comprises the residential environment. To accommodate this population there has been considerable investment made in buildings, services (water, gas, wastewater disposal) roading and amenity facilities (shops and schools). This represents a significant physical resource which needs to be managed to enable people and communities to meet their needs and to minimise any adverse effects of activities on both the natural and physical environment. The management of this resource can be achieved within the District Plan through controls in the design of subdivision, use and development. The objectives and policies set out below in C.1.1 are intended to address the significant resource management issues identified in B.2. The related subdivision and development issues in B.8 are addressed in C.7. C.1.1 Objectives & Policies OBJECTIVE 1.0 - GENERAL ENSURE THAT THE LOW DENSITY, QUIET CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT’S RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS IS MAINTAINED AND THAT ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE AMENITY VALUES THAT CONSTITUTE THIS CHARACTER AND MAKE THE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS SAFE, PLEASANT AND HEALTHY PLACES FOR RESIDENTS ARE AVOIDED, REMEDIED OR MITIGATED. The residential environments within the Kapiti Coast District generally have a low density character, typified by low building heights and density and a high proportion of public and private open space.

  • EPA Board of Enquiry Hon Sir John Hanley David Bunting, Environment
    EPA Board of Enquiry Hon Sir John Hanley David Bunting, Environment Commissioner Glenice Paine Mark Appledoorn Intro My name is Ruben Blok and I live at 79 Belvedere Ave, Waikanae. I am a Business Intelligence consultant with a private local firm and I create analytic reporting solutions for major private and public sector organisations throughout the Australasia. I am usually not too worried about government decisions but given my field of expertise and what I have witnessed with this project something very wrong is happening here and the information does simply not add up. I oppose the NZTA Makays to Peka Peka proposal and would like to tell you my experience and explain my findings. Lead Up We moved from Auckland to Kapiti (originally to Raumati South) in 2007 to start a family and fell in love with the community and surroundings. The combination of bush, beach, and lifestyle was an easy decision. We heard about KCDCs initial proposal to create a new alternate road and bridge to Waikanae I quite liked the idea. It seems a little crazy that you can almost walk to Waikanae from Paraparaumu Beach faster than you can drive (we tested it the other day). A year or two later we received the notification from NZTA that as part of the Roads of National Significance project they were planning to upgrade the existing SH1 to future proof the national grid. We again quite optimistic when we saw the proposals (WO and EO only) and chose option EO, upgrade the existing SH1, as it had minimal impact on the existing community leaving SH1 as close to its original location as possible.

  • Paraparaumu Beach, Otaihanga and Riwai Street Bus Timetables For
    Attachment i Report [=I DRAFT Page 17 of 121 Paraparaumu Beach, Otaihanga and Riwai Street Bus timetables for these areas have not been shown on the website, because we (Regional Council Transport and Mana Coach Services) are planning to introduce completely new routes and services during the course of 2000. The Changes Most current users of buses in the Paraparaumu Beach area will find that the services they use will be better than before. We hope that the improved services will encourage more people to use the buses so that they can be improved further in the future. There will be two simple, more direct routes instead of the difficult-to- understand circuit routes which operate at present. No more wondering which side of the road to stand on for the next bus to Coastlands! There will be more train connections in peak periods, and there will be Sunday services for the first time. All trips will be operated by low-floor buses to improve access for people who have difficulty using steps, and those carrying shopping or pushing children in buggies. Each route will have buses at least every 30 minutes between 6.00am and 8.00pm, Monday to Friday, with extra trips in peak periods to ensure connections with all trains to and from Wellington. The New Routes 71 From Paraparaumu Beach shops via Manly Street, Ngapotiki Street, Te Kupe Road, Mazengarb Road, Arawhata Road, Kapiti Road, Rimu Road and Coastlands to Paraparaumu Station. 72 From Paraparaumu Beach shops via Golf Road, Martin Road, Gray Avenue, Eatwell Avenue, Ocean Road, Kapiti Road, Langdale Avenue, Guildford Drive, Te Roto Drive, Kapiti Road, Rimu Road and Coastlands to Paraparaumu Station.

  • Manukau City Council, and North Shore City Council for Example Whom All Recorded Lower Waste Tonnages in 2008
    Appendix two Wellington Regional Waste Assessment March 2011 achieving results in the public sector AUCKLAND SYDNEY BRISBANE PERTH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Waste Minimisation Act 2008 (the Act) requires territorial authorities to adopt a new Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) by mid 2012. This provides the opportunity for the councils in the region to jointly review their current waste management plan policies and practices and plan future outcomes that will be most beneficial to the Wellington region as a whole. This waste assessment has therefore been jointly prepared to inform the drafting of the first “Councils of the Wellington Region Waste Management and Minimisation Plan”. Currently the councils implement projects and services in accordance with their individual waste management plans. A number of these projects are joint initiatives. The councils believe that there is further scope for regional and/or sub-regional co-ordination through the joint planning of future initiatives and services. This approach is supported by section 45 of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008. The councils propose developing a regional Waste Management and Minimisation Plan covering all the councils in the Wellington region. The regional plan is proposed to apply for six years. The councils see a number of benefits from this approach including: • realisation of economies of scale • sharing of information and outcomes • shared funding of projects • shared resources • development of regionally consistent approaches to regulation, policy development and service provision • enhanced impact from jointly working with Government and industry (single authoritive voice) for support in meeting the councils’ legislative requirement to ensure effective and efficient waste management in the region.
