My role is national and “tri-service” which means I am responsible for planning issues associated with the activities and facilities of Army, Navy and Air Force throughout New Zealand. 2 Today I would like to make a short statement, providing background to NZDF’s submission and evidence. 3 I am familiar with NZDF’s submission on the Proposed Natural Resources Plan (PNRP) having directed consultants in preparation of those. 4 NZDF is a government department, an element of the Crown, and provides military capability as required by Government. NZDF is empowered and authorised in its activities by the Defence Act 1990 and by output agreements with Government. SUMMARY OF STATEMENT 5 Existing defence facilities within the Wellington region include the Trentham Military Camp. The Camp is a significant Defence facility and is of strategic importance regionally, nationally and internationally. The New Zealand Government purchased land for the Camp in1900, and the Camp has been in operation since before World War I. The continued operation of the Camp, and defence facilities in general, is essential in achieving Defence purposes under the Defence Act 1990 and an integral part of military capability.

  • Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021
    Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021 Issue No. 17 | 1 Welcome to Bay Tours & Charters Leisure Guide As I write this, and we head into Christmas and the holiday season it’s hard not to reflect on what has been a difficult year for all of us. Not too many of us will be sorry to see the back of 2020. From a business perspective, there’s never been a more difficult time to be in the tourism industry. The international visitors are no longer here and who knows when they’ll be back. No more cruise ships stopping at Napier until further notice. And whilst some may say “Thank goodness for that. No more traffic nightmares in central Napier, no more hordes of people up Te Mata Peak!” the reality is that thousands of households in Hawke’s Bay rely on the income generated by tourism and a very significant chunk of that has simply disappeared. Napier, in particular, has relied heavily on tourism for decades and whilst the international visitors are no longer currently here, Kiwis have returned to Hawke’s Bay in droves and I suspect this summer, visitations to the region will have more of a family feel. Here at Bay Tours, whilst we certainly haven’t been immune to the huge drop in overseas visitors, we’re thankful for the continued success of the Tour Club. It has been truly heartening to look back at the last 6 months and recall how enthusiastically members responded to our first tentative steps to get out and about again after the lockdown.

  • Osborne Evidence
    IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER of Proposed Plan Change 19 (Frankton Flats Special Zone B) to the Queenstown Lakes District Plan. STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE OF GREGORY JOHN OSBORNE INTRODUCTION 1. My full name is Gregory John Osborne. I am a Director of Osborne Hay (South) Limited, a Planning and Resource Management Consultancy practice based in Auckland. 2. I have the qualification of Bachelor of Town Planning obtained from Auckland University in 1979 and I have been a full member of the New Zealand Planning Institute since 1984. 3. I have worked as a planner in local government and private practice since 1979 and during that period I have had extensive experience in district and regional plan preparation and the preparation and processing of resource consent applications and notices of requirement for designations. 4. In recent years I have also developed significant experience in resource management and planning processes related to the District Plan controls on aircraft noise and related land use controls on activities sensitive to aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports. 5. In particular, I facilitated the mediated settlement of a range of appeals on behalf of Manukau City Council in relation to the provisions of the Manukau District Plan relating to Auckland International Airport. That work involved drafting district plan rules which ultimately formed the basis of the Environment Court consent order. 1 6. Subsequently, I have provided planning advice to Auckland International Airport Limited over a number of years and I gave evidence to the Environment Court in the case Independent News Auckland Limited and Auckland International Airport Limited v Manukau City Council1 in which the key issue was reverse sensitivity to aircraft noise.

    Cyber world snags South Canterbury Page 4 Win with Four Square HERALD Page 5 Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Glass heap destined for Mackenzie roads A large stockpile of glass in the Mackenzie District will find a new home in the region’s roading material. The 2687 cubic metre stockpile had built up from glass collections in the district up until three years ago. Since then, all glass in the district has been recycled into filters through EcoCentral in Christchurch. However, the glass stockpile was unsuitable for that type of recycling due to contamination with rocks. A solution to the problem has been reached between the Glass Packaging Forum and Road Metals, and the Mackenzie District Council. The stockpiled glass will be crushed and used in roading material at the Road Metals site in Twizel.
