Some of these sites were treated for pest plants. REAs (Rapid Ecological Assessments) were completed on several bush remnants and a wetland. The wetland and most of the bush remnants will eventually be added to the list of managed sites. There are enough sites poised to enter the managed lists to meet the annual targets. Community/private biodiversity: 1.3.3 Ten biodiversity-related Environmental Grant and Biodiversity Support applications have been approved so far this year. Two have been claimed on. High priority wetlands: 1.3.4 No new high priority wetlands were added to the managed list during this period. The total number of high priority wetlands under active management is 56 and the number of sites under partial management is 24. High priority bush remnants: 1.3.5 No new bush remnants were added to the list of actively managed sites during this period. The total number of high priority bush remnants under active management is 110 and the number of sites under partial management is 28.

Waitarere Beach (Horowhenua): 2.2.2 Most of this season’s weed control work on the dunes has been completed. Planning is underway for a winter planting of the spinifex that has been grown at Poroutawhao School. Rangitikei Environment Group (REG – Rangitikei): 2.2.3 Roadside programme is near completion. Rangitikei District Council has increased its annual contribution to $20,000 and has employed a Parks and Reserves Manager. Both of these actions should speed up progress on the reserves and roadsides. Weedbusters (Palmerston North and Manawatu): 2.2.4 Weedbusters is progressing well in the Palmerston North and Feilding areas with 320 sites revisited. The majority of old sites are clean and the others have been re-treated. Massey Hill (Palmerston North): 2.2.5 This site is looking good following a recent sweep for weeds. Aaron Madden ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATOR – BIODIVERSITY Bill Martyn MANAGER – BIOSECURITY & BIODIVERSITY 3 Collaboration Projects – Horizons / DOC 3.1 Activity Report (Collaboration projects) Kia Wharite (Ruapehu/ Whanganui): 3.1.1 Four out of five whio surveys for the season have been completed; a good number of pairs have been seen on both rivers. It looks like we are on track for a good fledging rate with a large proportion of the chicks we have seen over the surveys reaching fledging class. Results will be reported at the conclusion of the survey season. 3.1.2 Stoat and cat trap catch data at the Whio Security Site is now recorded using a smartphone app called ‘Walk the Line’. This app replaces the use of trimbles to record data and has the advantage of being available for community groups undertaking predator control. 3.1.3 Final post-operational 1080 monitoring using tracking tunnels is scheduled for March. Results will be reported after the March monitoring period. 3.1.4 Annual summer weed control on the Whanganui River trench began over December, predominantly targeting tutsan, Japanese walnut, wattle, pampus and African feather grass. Of note was a higher occurrence of tutsan and African feather grass than previous years, and a good kill has been achieved on these species. Further spraying in the river trench is scheduled for February. 3.1.5 The Tutsan Action Group (TAG) has been granted permission to release two species of biological control agents in the Taumarunui area. This tool has the potential to assist our future control efforts. 3.1.6 Wanganui Aeroworks has been awarded a contract to undertake aerial spraying of Himalayan and Japanese honeysuckle in the Mangapurua Valley this summer and a contracted team will also be undertaking ground control in the area. 3.1.7 Goat control of the 16,817ha Matemateāonga block of the Whanganui National Park commenced in November. The majority of this work is completed and 1,894 hours of goat hunting has been carried out, with 750 kills averaging 2.5 hours per kill as at January 19 2016. Hunters have been audited throughout the period by Department of Conservation (DOC) staff. Hunters are recording their distance covered each day using track logs, as well as that of their dogs; this ensures accurate mapping of the areas hunted. The hunters have also been contracted to undertake minor track, hut and helipad maintenance in the area. 3.1.8 We are experiencing a bumper season on the Whanganui Journey with evidence that visitor numbers have increased from previous seasons. This is a significant achievement given the damage sustained to infrastructure last year through the June flooding. High visitor numbers means greater exposure to the Kia Whārite project area. 3.1.9 We have commenced conversations to seek funding for additional biodiversity work through the Air NZ Biodiversity Fund. This fund currently assists on-ground biodiversity projects alongside four Great Walks. 3.1.10 A proposal has been prepared to host a group of Air NZ executives on the Whanganui Journey as part of a series of Great Walk familiarisation trips. We see this as a great chance to display the work undertaken in the Kia Whārite partnership; confirmation of this trip is pending. 3.1.11 DOC will be supporting Horizons staff in coming months with the Councillors’ visit and potentially Ministers attending. 3.1.12 The traps in the Retaruke catchment were serviced five times over the reporting period, with 31 stoats, 10 weasels and 261 rats destroyed. The 350 traps in the Aramahoe Reserve have been serviced twice with 9 stoats, 37 weasels and 125 rats caught. 3.1.13 A new project area has been established in Ohorea Bush, a 340 hectare bush block on Ohorea Station 10km south of Raetihi. This new initiative is a partnership between Horizons, Atihau Whanganui Incorporated and Ngā Whenua Rāhui, and is aimed at protecting populations of North Island brown kiwi that live in the area. A network of DOC 250 traps have been established and will be serviced on a four-weekly rotation. Ngā Whenua Rāhui manages a very successful goat culling programme throughout the area and on surrounding farmland, which has resulted in low goat populations. Atihau Whanganui Incorporated has arranged a contractor to open some of the old logging tracks and repair crossings to allow better quad access for trap servicing and other pest control activities. 3.1.14 Over the coming months we plan to establish a network of bait stations throughout the Ohorea Bush area for possum control and also arrange to have some vegetation monitoring plots established. DOC Community Fund Updates in Whanganui area 3.1.15 DOC Community Fund recipients Castlecliff Coastcare and Bushy Park Trust have worked with local DOC staff to prepare monitoring and reporting frameworks. Bushy Park Trust has received its first grant payment while Castlecliff Coastcare is awaiting signoff from DOC.

  • Environmental Scan
    Environmental Scan March 2020 www.mdc.govt.nz Environmental Scan 2020 1 Contents INTRODUCTION 5 SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PROFILE 11 ECONOMIC PROFILE 21 ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE 31 MAJOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS/PROJECTS 37 GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS, LEGISLATION, 39 INQUIRIES AND NATIONAL TRENDS BIBLIOGRAPHY 60 2 Environmental Scan 2020 Environmental Scan 2020 3 Introduction An Environmental Scan looks at what changes are likely to affect the future internal and external operating environment for Manawatū District Council (Council). It looks at where the community is heading and what we, as Council, should be doing about it. It should lead to a discussion with elected members about what tools Council has available to influence the direction the community is taking. The purpose of local government, as set out in the Local Government Act 2002 includes reference to the role of local authorities in promoting the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of their communities. The indicators included in this report have been grouped into each of the wellbeings under the headings of “Social and Cultural Profile,” “Economic Profile” and “Environmental Profile.” However, it is recognised that the many of these indicators have impacts across multiple wellbeings. Council has used the most up-to-date data available to prepare this Environmental Scan. In some cases this data is historic trend data, sometimes it is current at the time the Environmental Scan was finalised, and in some cases Council has used data and trends to prepare future forecasts. Council does not intend to update the Environmental Scan over time, but the forecasting assumptions contained within Council’s Ten Year Plan will be continually updated up until adoption.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. A record of natural and human- induced environmental change from Lake Horowhenua A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Science School of Agriculture and Natural Environment, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Celeste Bevins 2019 Lake Horowhenua at sunset. Abstract Lake Horowhenua is a hypertrophic turbid lake located in the western coastal plain of the lower North Island of New Zealand. In order to effectively restore or manage modified systems such as Lake Horowhenua, an understanding of past environmental change and natural variability is essential to provide a benchmark for ‘natural’ conditions. Cores from the bed of Lake Horowhenua have been analysed to reconstruct a detailed environmental record for the last c. 4,200 cal yr BP. Prior to lake formation, the area now occupied by the lake was subject to fluvial deposition from the Ohau River sometime prior to 7,500 cal yr BP. Dune transgression began in the region c. 7,700 cal yr BP at the very earliest, and drainage of the small streams and springs was impeded, allowing for the formation of a proto lake. A tidal surge up the Hokio Stream may have occurred c. 7,100 cal yr BP. Clastic delivery into the lake from the inflowing streams was high from 4,200 cal yr BP until sometime around 3,200 cal yr BP.

  • Manawatu-Whanganui Regional Sports Facility Plan Is to Provide a High Level Strategic Framework for Sport and Recreation Facility Planning Across the Region (Map 1)
    MANAWATU - WHANGANUI REGIONAL SPORT FACILITY PLAN REFERENCE REPORT MARCH 2018 Foreword – Sport New Zealand Sport New Zealand aims to get more young people and adults into sport and active recreation and produce more winners on the worlds sporting stage. It does this through its strategic approach for Community Sport and High Performance Sport outcomes. Spaces, places, and facilities for sport is one of five strategic priorities in the Community Sport Strategy with a goal to develop and sustain a world leading community sport system where the need of the participant and athlete is the focus. With leadership from the network of Regional Sports Trusts, Sport NZ is actively supporting better decision making and investment for future sporting spaces and places through a collaborative regional approach with local and regional government, education, Iwi, funders, national and regional sports organisations. The drivers for taking a regional approach to facility planning can be one or more of the following: • The desire of funders to invest wisely in identified priority projects that will make the most impact • An ageing network of facilities needing refurbishment, re-purposing, replacement or removal • Changing demographics within a community, such as an increase in the population. • Changing participation trends nationally and within a region requiring new types of facilities, or a new use of an existing facility • Increasing expectations of users and user groups • A growing acknowledgement that there is a hierarchy of facilities – regional, sub-regional and local – and that regional collaboration is the only fair and reasonable way to build and manage regional and sub-regional facilities.

  • Sedimentation, Metal Contamination and Coastal Landscape Stability Of
    Report prepared for the Department of Conservation Sedimentation, metal contamination and coastal landscape stability of the Manawatu River Estuary: Environmental Status of the Ramsar-Listed wetland and future monitoring programme Prepared by: Josephine Woods and Dr David M. Kennedy School of Geography, Environment & Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, PO Box 600, Wellington November 2008 1 Executive Summary • This report entails a sediment monitoring program which aims to establish baseline data for monitoring the Manawatu River Estuary. Of specific interest are the sediment characteristics and what are the potential impacts of the marsh area on the northern bank of the estuary. This marsh/ mudflat area is significant bird habitat • Aerial photo analysis of the estuary between 1950 and 2005 shows significant extension (547m) of Fernbird Flat. It also shows fluctuations in the location of the channel entrance, but no significant channel movement towards the marsh area on the northern bank of the estuary. Flood protection works are likely to have stabilised most of the channel movements. Flood events, such as the 2004 flood occur with the greatest amount of channel migration. • Aerial photo analysis also revealed the evolution of a sand spit, which separates the marsh area from the main channel. This sand spit has played a significant part in reducing the impact of the river channel on the marsh. • A significant increase in the area of vegetated dunes over time is also evident in the aerial photo analysis. This signifies a decrease in wind erosion and dune mobility at the estuary mouth. • Grain size analysis of surfical sediments indicated that most are sourced from aeolian (wind) sources, or fluvial (river) deposits of silts and clays in low energy environments.
