  • 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.

  • Surface Water Quality in South West Otago
    Surface Water Quality in South West Otago June 2004 Surface Water Quality in South West Otago ISBN 1-877265-15-2 June 2004 Surface Water Quality in South West Otago i Executive Summary Water quality monitoring in the Wairuna Stream, Waipahi River, Heriotburn and Crookstonburn began in 1996 as part of the state of environment monitoring programme. In response to concerns that water quality may be deteriorating, a more intensive six month surface water quality monitoring programme commenced on the Wairuna Stream in April 2000. Poor water quality results from this programme led to the Waipahi/Clydevale monitoring programme, which encompassed a larger catchment, this ran from October 2002 to October 2003. The third water quality monitoring programme began in May 2000 in the Heriotburn and Crookstonburn catchments. Otago Regional Council has also been working with landowners and farmers in the area to minimise the potential impacts of high density farming in an area which is predominantly tile drained. Water quality monitoring focused on six sites in the Wairuna Stream, ten sites in the Waipahi/ Clydesvale and 14 sites in the Heriotburn and Crookstonburn. Spot water sampling was conducted at all sites with water samples tested for a range of physico- chemical and microbiological parameters. Periphyton and macroinvertebrate sampling was also conducted. The monitoring results indicate that water quality in all three catchments is poor with a deterioration in water quality with distance downstream. For example there was a marked increase in Eschericia coli with distance downstream in all watercourses other than the Kaihiku and Waipahi. In addition, the Heriotburn and Wairuna catchments had extremely high median concentrations of indicator bacteria, all sites exceeding MfE/MoH action/red mode levels (550 E.coli/100ml).

In Attendance His Worship the Mayor Bryan Cadogan, Jules Witt (Group Manager Service Delivery) and Julie Gardner (Service Delivery Administrator). Apologies Bruce Robertson Moved L Roulston/C Crawford and Resolved: “That the apology be sustained.” The Chairperson welcomed Councillor Lloyd McCall to his first official meeting as a member of the West Otago Community Board. LATE ITEMS Black Gully – ongoing management PUBLIC FORUM Peter McPherson spoke to the Board regarding the following: Water – concerned about water leaks that are being reported but not being fixed. Leak outside his property had leaked for 6 weeks before something was done about it. Concerned about contract supervision regarding these issues. The Group Manager Service Delivery advised that the contractor is being monitored with reports going to the Service Delivery Committee on a 6-weekly basis. He also advised that discussions are ongoing through the contractual obligations of the contract. Commonage Land sold near Raes Junction to buy more land at Hillend – this subsequently got sold when CDC divested of its forestry blocks. If commonage property is sold, then the money should have been reinvested for the benefit of Tapanui residents as per the endowment terms of the commonage agreement set out during the amalgamation process in 1989. West Otago Community Board – 14 April 2021 Minutes Mayor Cadogan advised that this money was ringfenced and reinvested in the Nikko Fund, however agreed that Council staff would investigate this further and provide feedback.

  • Fiordland & Southland
    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd 642 Fiordland & Southland FIORDLAND & SOUTHLAND FIORDLAND & SOUTHLAND The bottom end of the South Island has some of the country’s most spectacular landscape. To the west is Fiordland National Park, with jagged misty peaks, glistening lakes and an air of forbidding remoteness. The park can be accessed via the world-famous Milford Track, one of the various trails that meander through dense forests and allow views of spectacular mountains and glacier-sculpted canyons. Fiordland is also home to Milford and Doubtful Sounds, with forested cliffs soaring almost vertically from the still, deep waters, and relatively easy to access by road, boat or kayak. In Southland’s east, a sharp left turn off the beaten track, the peaceful Catlins are an area of bird-rich native forest, luxuriantly green farmland and rugged, windswept coasts. In addition to the forest birds the area is home to penguins, seals, sea lions, dolphins and the occasional whale. Wonderful accommodation abounds along wild beaches, in the midst of forests and in tiny waterside settlements. Southland has the kind of New Zealand scenery that travellers dream of and postcards fail to capture. More than once, you’re likely to round a corner, stop in your tracks and just say ‘oh, wow’ before you reach for the camera. HIGHLIGHTS Sea kayaking, dwarfed by the steep cliffs of Milford Sound (p 653 ) Exploring side roads, forest waterfalls and lonely southern beaches in the peaceful, windswept Catlins (p 666 ) Hollyford Track Walking through forest and
