The General Policies Reserve Management Plan contains policies that apply to all reserves that are owned and/or administered by Thames-Coromandel District Council. This allows for a consistent approach to the management of reserves. The policies in this plan are site specific. Where there is a conflict between the specific polices contained within this plan and the general policies contained within the General Policies Reserve Management Plan, the specific policies in this plan will take precedence. This plan is informed by Councils current plans and policies, including the Reserves Strategy, Long Term Plan, District Plan, and Council bylaws. Strategic plans: Reserves coastal, open Long Term Plan Strategy space Reserve TCDC District Statutory Council Bylaws Management Plan documents Plans Structure Plan Other Council Tree Master Development Non-statutory Policies Plans Plans documents Asset Day-to-day Management decision-making Plans Coromandel-Colville Reserves: Management Plan Page 1 Council and Delegations The Minister of Conservation has delegated a number of procedural and decision-making responsibilities to Council under the Reserves Act 1977. These delegations are made to “Council as a whole” and cannot be delegated to committees of Council or staff. Such decisions that must be made by a meeting of the full Council (Council as a whole) include adoption of reserve management plans, classification of reserves and granting of leases. Other decisions, such as approval for events, removal of trees and the issuing of permits can be delegated from the Council to the Chief Executive and to council staff. As delegations change from time to time, the term Council is used throughout the document. Staff should refer to the Councils delegations register to determine if they have the authority to make decisions in accordance with the policies in this management plan. This Coromandel-Colville Reserves: Management Plan is a “living document” that may need to be updated from time-to-time in response to changing circumstances or increased knowledge. Council is required to undertake a public consultation process when undertaking a comprehensive review of this plan. Any change that does not require a comprehensive review may be made by the Council and consultation

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.

    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.

  • Coromandel-Colville Reserves: Management Plan
    Coromandel-Colville Reserves: Management Plan September 2018 Purpose of this plan The Reserves Act 1977 requires that Thames-Coromandel District Council (the Council), as an administering body, prepare this management plan (Section 41). Reserves Act management plans are an important reserve management tool. These management plans are developed in consultation with reserve users, community and key stakeholder groups, with consideration to current management of a reserve. A management plan will provide for continuity between legislative requirements, council plans and policies, and the day-to-day operation of a reserve. This draft Coromandel Colville Reserves Management Plan applies to all reserves in the Coromandel Colville area administered by Thames-Coromandel District Council that are covered by the Reserves Act 1977. A management plan for the Coromandel Colville reserves was first prepared in 2005. This is the first review of the original plan. Process of preparing this reserve management plan, in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977: 14 March 2018 Council invites suggestions on reserve management objectives and policies Council approves draft Coromandel Colville Reserve Management Plan for 30 October 2018 public consultation Council calls for submissions on the draft Coromandel Colville Reserve 5 November 2018 Management Plan 18 January 2019 Submissions close February Hearings Public Consultation on this draft plan Public consultation on this plan will be undertaken from 5 November 2018 to 18 January 2019.

  • NGĀTI HEI and the CROWN AGREEMENT in PRINCIPLE EQUIVALENT July 2011
    NGĀTI HEI and THE CROWN AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE EQUIVALENT July 2011 INTRODUCTION - SETTLEMENT STRUCTURE 1. The Iwi of Hauraki1 entered into a Framework Agreement between the Hauraki Collective and the Crown dated 1 October 2010. 2. The Framework Agreement and Agreement in Principle Equivalents represent incremental steps towards a comprehensive Deed of Settlement between the Crown and the Iwi of Hauraki. 3. The Deed of Settlement will settle all Historical Claims2 under the Te Tiriti o Waitangi / the Treaty of Waitangi3 in the Hauraki region which arise from the whakapapa of each of the Iwi of Hauraki. 4. As a consequence of the Deed of Settlement, each of the Iwi of Hauraki will be entitled to a range of Treaty settlement redress. 5. The Crown and the Iwi of Hauraki acknowledge that the ultimate structure of a settlement with the Iwi of Hauraki is yet to be agreed, and will be developed in the course of negotiations. Thus, for example, it is not yet agreed whether there will be multiple deeds of settlement or a single deed of settlement with iwi specific redress.4 6. This Agreement in Principle Equivalent comprises both collective and iwi specific chapters and includes: a. redress agreed to by the Crown; b. redress the Crown is willing to explore; and c. redress the Hauraki Collective and Ngāti Hei seek. 7. The Crown acknowledges that the Collective and Ngāti Hei has the right to seek redress, but notes that some of the redress iwi seek is outside current government policy. 8. Ngāti Hei is party to the Hauraki Collective Framework Agreement and is undertaking iwi specific negotiations in respect of its interests.
