Waiāriwater SUPPLY SCHEME WaiāriWATER SUPPLY SCHEME KO TE WAI TE ORA O NGĀ MEA KATOA WATER IS THE LIFE GIVER OF ALL THINGS We’re building a water treatment plant to help meet the future water supply needs of Tauranga and the wider Western Bay of Plenty. The Waiāri Water Supply Scheme involves developing a water abstraction facility on the Waiāri Stream, a water treatment plant in No.1 Road, Te Puke, and an underground water pipeline from the plant to Papamoa. The plant will mainly service the Papamoa coastal strip/Te Tumu growth areas and in time will provide a backup for Western Bay of Plenty District Council’s Te Puke water supply. Construction is expected to be completed in 2021. TAURANGA IS GROWING AND WE NEED TO THE WAIĀRI STREAM FLOWS IN A DEEP RAVINE PROVIDE CORE INFRASTRUCTURE TO COPE WITH OUTSIDE TE PUKE.

  • Farming in the Bay of Plenty A
    FARMING IN THE BAY OF PLENTY A. V. ALLO, Department of Agriculture, Tauranga, and S. R. HEWITT, Department of Agriculture, Whakatane We are confining our definition of the Bay of Plenty to the land / covered by the Tauranga, Whakatane, and Opotiki Counties. It comprises a narrow coastal strip extending from Athenree, near Katikati in the north to Cape Runaway in the south-east, and is bounded inland by low ranges of hills rising up to 1,500 ft. The topography varies from easy rolling to hilly, with two large areas of swamp, one centred on Te Puke and the other, the Rangitaiki Plains, near Whakatane. The climate is semi-tropical, with an annual rainfall ranging . from 50 in. near the coast to up to 100 in. on the hilly inland country. Dry summers and autumns are not uncommon and severe winter frosts are known. In the early days of European settlement much of the coastal land of the Bay of Plenty was covered by bracken fern and scrub, and the higher hills were still largely covered in forest. The swamps had a natural cover of flax, raupo, cabbage trees, rushes, and manuka. The first land to be developed was the easier coastal country, when the natural cover was burnt and grass was sown. No artificial fertilisers were used and the low natural fertility of the soil resulted in rapid pasture deterioration and weeds, with only the lower-fertility demanding species such as browntop, danthonia, indian doobj, and ratstail surviving. When this stage was reached the ground was frequently ploughed, cropped with swedes or maize, and regrassed.

  • Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery
    part three Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery Description: Located on the edge of central Tauranga, Otamataha comprises the remnant headland known as Te Papa. Prior to the reclamation of Sulphur Point and Chapel Street, Otamataha formed the headland to this part of Tauranga. Historically a Pa for Ngati Maru, the site became the Mission Cemetery and contains the earliest Pakeha graves in Tauranga. The site holds significant historical values to the City and has been recognised as such in the recently adopted Historic Reserves Management Plan (December 2008). The landscape surrounding and within the landscape feature has been significantly altered through infrastructure and transit based development. The Tauranga bridge and associated roading connections extend around the periphery of the site, resulting in the loss of natural features and landform. To the south of the site the new Sebel Hotel complex sits immediately adjacent to the site, and screens much of the site’s edge from view from the CBD area. Significant landscape features of the site comprise the remnant pohutukawa along the seaward edge and a significant stand of exotic specimen trees. The raised cliff edge and vegetation cover extends above the water’s edge and the Sebel Hotel, creating visual connection between the site and central Tauranga. Core Values: • Moderate natural science values associated with the remaining geomorphological values. • Moderate representative values due to the location and vegetation patterns. • Moderate shared and recognised values at a City level. • High historical values due to its sigificant archaeological features and heritage values. • Moderate aesthetic values associated with vegetation patterns along the harbour edge.

  • Ben Davies, Water Network Planning Discipline Lead, MWH, Now Part of Stantec, Wellington
    GHOST HUNTING WATER NETWORK MODELLING TO FIND A PHANTOM BURST Ben Davies, Water Network Planning Discipline Lead, MWH, now part of Stantec, Wellington Abstract Between 24 and 26 January 2016, there was a sudden drop in both the Mangatawa and Mount Maunganui reservoirs, which feed the Coastal Strip water supply network in Tauranga. The system was already at peak summer demand, and the drop in reservoir levels equated to a further 100 l/s demand on the network. The Coastal Strip network includes Tauranga’s heavy industrial area, along with the Port of Tauranga. The idea of this area going dry would give any water network manager nightmares. As the reservoir levels continued to drop, the water model was used to confirm stop-gap operational measures, which were then put in place to stop the network going dry. The unknown demand slowly disappeared over the next couple of days, and system operation returned to normal. Although the immediate danger appeared to be over, the cause of this large temporary drain on the network remained unknown, and there was a risk it could occur again at any time. MWH and TCC have worked together for a number of years to develop a good operational water model. Once the dust had settled, TCC asked MWH to undertake an analysis using the hydraulic water network model to look at the event in detail. This paper outlines how innovative water modelling techniques and collaboration between TCC and MWH were used to find the 100 l/s ghost, and restore the resilience of the Coastal Strip water network.
