  • What You Need to Know About Our Mining Activities Before You Purchase a Property in Waihi
    What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi OceanaGold is mining under residential properties in Waihi East and also has consent to mine in other areas. Here is what you need to know if you are considering purchasing a property in Waihi. CEPA We are mining in the area inside the yellow line in Waihi East. This area is known as CEPA, the Correnso Extended Project Area. We are allowed to mine underground anywhere in this area. The top of the Correnso mine is at least 130 metres below the surface. This is about the same distance from the Sky Tower glass observation deck to the street. Before we tunnel under any property inside the CEPA area we must offer the property owner an ex gratia payment of 5% of the current market value of the property. Before we mine under a property we must offer the property owner the same ex gratia payment or the option of us purchasing the property at current market valuation. If the property you are considering purchasing has already received an ex gratia payment this should be recorded on the LIM report. In the event that we mine under the property and offer to purchase it, the ex gratia payment will be deducted from the amount we offer. This does not apply to a sale on the open market. We advise that you check the LIM of any property you are considering purchasing.

  • Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99
    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • Introduction to the District
    Hauraki District Plan September 2014 6.2 INDIGENOUS BIODIVERSITY AND SIGNIFICANT NATURAL AREAS 6.2.1 BACKGROUND (1) PART 2 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991 (RMA) (a) The RMA has a key role in managing our indigenous biological diversity. Almost all forms of resource use affect indigenous biodiversity, and biodiversity is recognised in the Act in many ways. Part 2 of the Act places a responsibility on the Council to recognise and provide for the general protection of indigenous vegetation and habitats of indigenous fauna. (b) Section 5(2)(b) of the Act refers to safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems. Section 6(c) places a responsibility on Council to protect areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna as a matter of “national importance”. Section 7 also requires Council to have particular regard to the maintenance and enhancement of amenity values (Section 7(c)) and the intrinsic value of ecosystems (Section 7(d)). The definition of “Intrinsic Values” in the Act includes values derived from biological and genetic diversity and the essential characteristics that determine an ecosystem’s integrity, form, functioning and resilience. These characteristics are also integral to the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems identified in Section 5(2)(b). In addition, it is understood that some areas of indigenous biodiversity have cultural values of importance to tangata whenua, and through the protection of indigenous biodiversity for ecosystem reasons, such protection can also assist Council in carrying out its responsibilities under Section 8 of the Act. (c) Section 31 of the Act provides that it is the function of territorial authorities to control the effects of the use of land for the maintenance of indigenous biological diversity.

  • Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: an Example of Council(S), Consultant and Contractor Co-Operation to Remove a Historic Blight on the Landscape
    Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: An example of Council(s), Consultant and Contractor co-operation to remove a historic blight on the landscape. The Kaiaua coastline on the Gulf of Thames is an area of scenic and natural beauty. However, a 205m stretch of the coastline was for 20yrs used as a landfill for disposal of domestic and demolition waste, including asbestos containing material (ACM). Buried in natural hollows and localised excavations, and compressed to less than 1m thick the wastes lay hidden and largely forgotten until coastal erosion and retreat of the shoreline started to expose and wash out the refuse. Hauraki District Council inherited this legacy and decided to do something about it. To achieve a cost effective and practical level of remediation required a pragmatic approach by Regional and District Councils through the consenting process, by the Consultant in planning, verification and oversight, and by the Contractor working within a tight time frame, tidal and environmental constraints. The work also attracted considerable public and press attention. Close liaison and co-operation between all parties was essential during the site works including shared supervision of the work and joint assessment of materials that could be retained. In this paper we describe the constraints affecting the project and approaches used to overcome these to achieve a successful and acceptable level of site remediation.
