ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

Te Tahaawai Marae Trustees 245 Weber Road Kaeo

10th August 2020

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

PART 1: DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY SITE Te Tahaawai Marae is located at 245 Weber Road, Kaeo. This site is Pt Te Pupuke K2 Block and is 1.8970 hectares. The site is in the Rural Production Zone of the Far North District Council District Plan.

LOCATION Te Tahaawai Marae is located three kilometres South of Whangaroa Harbour, amidst farmland on the Northern boundary and undeveloped ancestral land to the South and West. Weber Road is a gravel, dead-end road that exits State Highway 10. After the Weber-Waihapa Road junction, the road narrows with its maximum width being only five metres. Weber Road is not designed for large volumes of traffic at any one time or for comfortable safe passing, making it a single lane road. There are ten residential properties on Weber Road, most being marae hapu. The road to Te Tahaawai Marae has always been in its current state for residents and while narrow in comparison to city roads, Weber Road is a normal sized road in this Rural District. There have been regular pick up and drop offs for Whangaroa Primary and High School buses and residents and visitors have easily used Weber Road going different directions at the same time, observing respectful road use.

BACKGROUND Te Tahaawai was gazetted in October 1923 for the purposes of a Marae and Recreation ground for Te Tahaawai Hapu.

Ko Taratara me EmiEmi nga Maunga Ko Ngatokimatawhaorua me Mataatua nga waka Ko Whaingaroa te Moana Ko Pupuke te Awa Ko Te Awaroa te Whare Tupuna Ko Te Tahaawai te Marae Ko Ngati Tahaawai te Hapu Ko Hongi Hika te Rangatira

Our Whare Tupuna was the old Pupuke Native School Classroom. When the Native School Act was abolished and Maori children (Tangata Whenua) were allowed to attend main stream Pakeha schools the room was then recycled as our now Whare Tupuna on whenua that was gifted for the purpose of a Marae (and all that this entails) and Educational purposes.

We have many Uri that whakapapa into Te Tahaawai under some very prominent Rangatira. There have been many Whanau Reunions, birthdays, Baptisms, Hui-a-Hapu, Hui-a-Iwi and of course our most honoured Tangihanga. We have hosted previously the Piri Mokena Labour Weekend Games. We have been a part of the Tourism Industry where we have invited Backpackers to stay on the Marae and experience life in Te Ao Maori.

On the Marae, we are able to freely embrace our Tikanga, our Kawa, our History, to be proud of who we are as a people, without judgement. Our Reo flows naturally and peacefully. On our Marae we as a people, as individuals are enough as we are. Our principals, our foundations such as Aroha,

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

Manaaki, Pono, Tika, Tautoko, give us the strength to be the best we can be. We are not judged on our Skin, the clothes we wear, the colour of our eyes or hair. For whanau who live outside the Rohe, travelling home is overwhelming and provides such a boost to our wairua.

Moving forward and at the completion of our Marae Rebuild, we will utilise our Marae as much as possible. I see more interaction with Government Bodies for hui, NGO’s, Mobile clinics, Diabetes classes te mea te mea te mea. I see the potential to work with schools to host, Holiday Programs, to provide the opportunity for the Whangaroa Community to be welcome to experience Te Ao Maori, not just as Tauiwi or manuhiri but as our Neighbours. Practice Rongoa, have more wananga available to the wider Community. But in no-way am I implying we will be used a Community Hall. We are Marae 100%.

When my time has come and I lay my last night on this earth, it will be on the whenua of Te Tahaawai Marae where my mauri will remain well after I’m gone.

PART 2: DISTRICT PLAN ZONE RULES 8.6.5 ZONE RULES 8.6.5.1 PERMITTED ACTIVITIES 8.6.5.1.1 RESIDENTIAL INTENSITY Residential development shall be limited to one unit per 12ha of land. In all cases the land shall be developed in such a way that each unit shall have at least 3,000m² for its exclusive use surrounding the unit plus a minimum of 11.7ha elsewhere on the property. Except that this rule shall not limit the use of an existing site, or a site created pursuant to Rule 13.7.2.1 (Table 13.7.2.1) for a single residential unit for a single household, provided that all other standards for permitted activities are complied with.

The proposal does comply with this rule

8.6.5.1.2 SUNLIGHT No part of any building shall project beyond a 45 degree recession plane as measured inwards from any point 2m vertically above ground level on any site boundary.

The proposal does comply with this rule.

8.6.5.1.3 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT The maximum proportion of the gross site area covered by buildings and other impermeable surfaces shall be 15%.

The total building coverage and impermeable surfaces of the site is 12.96%, therefore the proposal does comply with this rule.

8.6.5.1.4 SETBACK FROM BOUNDARIES No building shall be erected within 10m of any site boundary; with the following exceptions; (a) no accessory building shall be erected within 3m of boundaries other than road boundaries, on sites less than 5000m2; (b) no crop protection structures shall be located within 3m of boundaries; (c) no building shall be erected within 12m of any road boundary with Kerikeri Road on properties with a road frontage with Kerikeri Road between its intersection with SH10 and Cannon Drive; (d) no building for residential purposes shall be erected closer than 100m from any zone boundary with the Minerals Zone;

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

(e) no building shall be erected within the building line restriction area as marked in Appendix 6C, located immediately north of the Te Waimate Heritage Precinct. Any proposed building to be erected within this building line restriction area shall be deemed a discretionary activity and the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga will be considered an affected party to any such application made under this rule.

The proposal does not comply with this rule.

8.6.5.1.5 TRAFFIC INTENSITY The Traffic Intensity Factor for a site in this zone is 60 daily one way movements, unless the site gains access off a State Highway administered by the New Zealand Transport Agency, in which case the Traffic Intensity Factor is 30 daily one way movements. The Traffic Intensity Factor shall be determined by reference to Appendix 3A in Part 4. This rule only applies when establishing a new activity or changing an activity on a site. It does not apply to existing activities, however, the Traffic Intensity Factor for the existing uses (apart from those exempted below) on site need to be taken into account when assessing new activities in order to address cumulative effects. Exemptions: A single residential unit, farming, forestry and construction traffic (associated with the establishment of an activity) are exempt from this rule. Note: Applicants are advised that where an application is required because of non compliance with this rule and the access is off a State Highway or nearby (up to 90m of an intersection with a State highway) the New Zealand Transport Agency may be considered an affected party.

The capacity of the marae is 337 persons, therefore the Traffic Intensity Factor is 168 daily one way movements. The Traffic Intensity Factor for a site is 60 one-way movements, therefore the proposal doesn’t comply with the rule.

8.6.5.1.6 KEEPING OF ANIMALS (a) Any building, compound or part of a site used for factory farming or a cattery, shall be located no closer than 50m from any site boundary, except for a boundary which adjoins a Residential, Coastal Residential or Russell Township Zone, where the distance shall be a minimum of 600m. (b) Any building, compound or part of a site used for a boarding kennel shall be located no closer than 300 metres from any site boundary except for a boundary which adjoins a Residential, Coastal Residential or Russell Township Zone, where the distance shall be a minimum of 600m.

The proposal does comply with the rule.

8.6.5.1.7 NOISE (a) All activities except Temporary Military Training Activities shall be so conducted as to ensure that noise from the site shall not exceed the following noise limits as measured at or within the boundary of any other site in this zone, or at any site in the Residential, Coastal Residential or Russell Township Zones, or at or within the notional boundary of any dwelling in any other rural or coastal zone: 0700 to 2200 65 dBA L10 hours 2200 to 0700 45 dBA L10 and hours 70 dBA Lmax

Exemptions: The foregoing noise limits shall not apply to airport operations at Kaitaia, Kerikeri and Kaikohe including aircraft being operated during or immediately before or after flight. For the purposes of this exemption aircraft operations shall include all aircraft activity from start up to shut down of engines. The noise limits shall also not apply to activities periodically required by normal farming and plantation forestry activities and the use of aircraft, provided that the activity shall comply with the requirements of s.16 of the Act. Noise Measurement and Assessment: Sound levels shall be measured in accordance with NZS 6801:1991 “Measurement of Sound” and assessed in accordance with NZS 6802:1991 “Assessment of Environmental Sound”. The notional boundary is defined in NZS 6802:1991 “Assessment of Environmental Sound” as a line 20m from any part of any dwelling, or the legal boundary where this is closer to the dwelling. Construction Noise: Construction noise shall meet the limits recommended in, and shall be measured and assessed in accordance with, NZS 6803P:1984 “The Measurement and Assessment of Noise from Construction, Maintenance and Demolition Work”.

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

(b) Noise limits for Temporary Military Training Activities are as follows:

Time Limits (dBA) (Any Day) L10 L95 Lmax 0630 to 0730 60 45 70 0730 to 1800 75 60 90 1800 to 2000 70 55 85 2000 to 0630 55 Impulse noise resulting from the use of explosives, explosives simulators or small arms shall not exceed 122 dBC. Temporary Military Training Activities shall be conducted so as to ensure the following noise limits are not exceeded at any point within the notional boundary of any dwelling, or residential institution, or educational facility within the district.

The proposal does comply with the rule.

8.6.5.1.8 BUILDING HEIGHT The maximum height of any building shall be 12m.

The maximum height of the buildings on site are less than 12m so the proposal does comply with this rule.

8.6.5.1.9 HELICOPTER LANDING AREA A helicopter landing area shall be at least 200m from the nearest boundary of any of the Residential, Coastal Residential, Russell Township or Point Veronica Zones.

There is no helicopter landing so the proposal does comply with this rule.

8.6.5.1.10 BUILDING COVERAGE Any new building or alteration/addition to an existing building is a permitted activity if the total Building Coverage of a site does not exceed 12.5% of the gross site area.

The building coverage of the site is 7.23% so the proposal does comply with this rule.

8.6.5.1.11 SCALE OF ACTIVITIES For activities other than those provided for in the exemptions below, the total number of people engaged at any one period of time in activities on a site, including employees and persons making use of any facilities, but excluding people who normally reside on the site or are members of the household shall not exceed i. For activities ancillary to farming or plantation forestry activities, 8 persons per site or 2 person per 1 hectare of net site area, whichever is the greater ii. For all other activities, 4 persons per site or 1 person per 1 hectare of net site area, whichever is the greater.

Provided that: (a) this number may be exceeded for a period totalling not more than 60 days in any 12 month period where the increased number of persons is a direct result of activities ancillary to the primary activity on the site; or (b) this number may be exceeded where persons are engaged in constructing or establishing an activity (including environmental enhancement) on the site; or (c) this number may be exceeded where persons are visiting marae.

In determining the total number of people engaged at any one period of time, the Council will consider the maximum capacity of the facility (for instance, the number of beds in visitors accommodation, the number of seats in a restaurant or theatre), the number of staff needed to cater for the maximum number of guests, and the number and nature of the vehicles that are to be accommodated on site to cater for those engaged in the activity. Exemptions: the foregoing limits shall not apply to farming and forestry or Temporary Military Training activities. All other activities shall comply with the requirements of s16 of the Act. Note: a definition of Activities Ancillary to Farming or Forestry, is contained in Chapter 3 and reads as follows: Processing and packaging facilities for farming, forestry, and any rural industry that is dependent primarily on the direct handling of raw produce, or that primarily supplies services to farming, horticulture, or forestry. Includes premises used for the manufacture of dairy products, abattoirs, timber processing, stock yards and sale yards, cool stores and pack houses and rural contractor depots.

8.6.5.1.12 TEMPORARY EVENTS Temporary events are a permitted activity in the zone, provided that: (a) the activity does not have a duration of more than two days; (b) the activity does not operate outside the hours of 6.30am to 10pm on each day; (c) the activity does not involve the assembly of more than 500 persons on each day; (d) the activity complies with excavation and/or filling rules as contained in Chapter 12.3 of Part 3 of the District Plan (and/or any necessary Earthworks Permit has been obtained); (e) prior to the event, a Traffic Management Plan (including parking) has been approved by the Council’s Roading Engineer, or by NZTA representatives where access is off State Highway, or where traffic to and from the event will impact on State Highways in the vicinity. The approved plan is to be lodged with Council’s Resource Consents Manager or other duly delegated officer at least 20 days prior to the event taking place ,and be complied with for the duration of the event. Note 1: A temporary event need not comply with the Zone rules nor the Traffic Parking and Access provisions of Chapter 15.1. A temporary event must otherwise comply with the District Wide rules and those matters specified within the rule itself. Exemptions: The foregoing limits shall not apply to temporary military training activities and temporary structures associated with the temporary event. Note: a definition of Temporary Events is contained in Chapter 3 and reads as follows: A temporary event is an infrequent event held outside a dedicated venue such as a showground or sports field which occurs no more frequently than once in any twelve month period on a particular site . It can encompass entertainment, cultural, educational and sporting events. It includes temporary removable structures associated with the event but does not include permanently licensed premises or Temporary Military Training Activities.

The proposal does comply with this rule.

PART 3: DISTRICT WIDE PROVISIONS 12.1 LANDSCAPE AND NATURAL FEATURES The proposal will not affect any landscapes or natural features that are protected in the District Plan. The proposal does comply with the rule.

12.2 INDIGENOUS FLORA AND FAUNA There is no threat to indigenous flora and fauna or ecosystems as identified in the FNDC District plan or S6(c) of the RMA that require addressing in this application. The proposal does comply with the rule.

12.3 SOILS AND MINERALS 12.3.6.1.1 EXCAVATION AND/OR FILLING, EXCLUDING MINING AND QUARRYING, IN THE RURAL PRODUCTION ZONE OR KAURI CLIFFS ZONE Excavation and/or filling, excluding mining and quarrying, on any site in the Rural Production Zone or Kauri Cliffs Zone is permitted, provided that: (a) it does not exceed 5,000m3 in any 12 month period per site; and (b) it does not involve a continuous cut or filled face exceeding an average of 1.5m in height over the length of the face i.e. the maximum permitted average cut and fill height may be 3m.

The maximum excavation volume for the site is 80m3, so the proposal does comply with this rule.

12.4 NATURAL HAZARDS This proposal will comply with all the Natural Hazard rules

12.5 HERITAGE There are no scheduled heritage resources, nor outstanding natural features, historic buildings or registered archaeological sites as listed in the District Plan for this site. The proposal does comply with the rule.

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

12.5A HERITAGE PRECINCTS This application has no impact on Heritage Precincts, therefore the proposal does comply with the rule.

12.7 LAKES, RIVERS, WETLANDS AND THE COASTLINE The marae property boundary is over 100m from the nearest waterway therefore the proposal does comply with this rule.

12.8 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES The proposal does not involve any hazardous installations, therefore the proposal does comply with the rule.

12.9 RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Not relevant to this application.

15.1 TRAFFIC, PARKING AND ACCESS 15.1.6A TRAFFIC The Traffic Intensity Factor for this site based on the design occupancy is 168 one way movements; only 60 movements are permitted.

Therefore the proposal does not comply with this rule.

15.1.6B PARKING 84 carparks are required based on the Marae occupancy of 337 people. There are 60 carparks shown on the site plan; therefore, the proposal does not comply with this rule.

15.1.6C.1.5 VEHICLE CROSSING STANDARDS IN RURAL AND COASTAL ZONES There are two current accesses to the property. The Weber Road carriageway is only 5m wide and the current accesses are a slightly smaller version of what is shown in FNDC/S/6D. Because of this, the proposal does not comply too this rule.

PART 4: DISTRICT PLAN OBJECTIVES & POLICIES RURAL ENVIRONMENT CONTEXT The majority of the land in the Far North is, and will remain, rural, where rural production is the main activity but there are distinct differences in rural character and amenity across the various rural areas. There is also a greater sense of nature and of open space in the rural environment than in the more densely settled areas. Much of the rural environment is also coastal. The Act places particular responsibilities on councils to preserve the natural character of the coastal environment and for this reason it is differentiated from that part of the rural environment that does not have a significant coastal character. Because of the lower density of development in the rural area and generally larger site sizes, there is a perception that the likelihood of adverse effects occurring from activities is less than it may be in more densely settled areas, or at least that adverse effects are more easily “absorbed” within the site. The consequence is that controls on activities in the rural environment generally enable a wide range of complementary rural activities to occur whilst avoiding, remedying, or mitigating any

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo adverse effects on the environment. The various zone provisions supported by other controls in Part 3 of the Plan – District Wide Provisions are designed to protect the natural and physical resources of the rural environment. However, the rural land resource is also sometimes preferred by developers as an alternative location to establish industrial and commercial activities, especially on approach roads, relatively close to existing urban settlements. This can result in cumulative effects and impact on the efficient delivery of infrastructure. Zone provisions are designed to allow for activities that do not detract from the amenity values associated with the rural environment’s attributes and character and that further contribute to the efficient use of the District’s physical resources such as infrastructure. The character of the rural environment is constantly changing. These changes are largely in response to economic imperatives. They take the form of changes in farming and forestry practices and the type of productive activities that take place on the land, hence the zone name “Rural Production”. They also result in the expansion of rural residential living on relatively small rural lots in some areas. Conflicts between land uses can arise due to these changes. For example, where countryside living occurs, the effects of odour, spraydrift and noise on residents becomes an issue. The Plan is designed to take account of the likely pressures for and consequences of change in the rural environment including settlement patterns for rural villages.

The rebuild and improvement of the Te Tahaawai Marae complex won’t diminish the rural character of Weber Road or Pupuke. This resource application is to support the rebuild of marae buildings that already exist on site. There are no planned industrial or commercial activities planned for this site. There are also no planned land use changes for the remainder of the area that is set aside as a Māori Reservation that is 1.8970ha. The use of Te Tahaawai Marae will remain the same as it is now – To enable, to enhance, to uplift and provide a place for nourishment of our wairua, strengthening of our mana for all the Uri o Ngati Tahaawai. We will continue to hold our tangihanga, wananga, hahi and many hui to ensure our whakapapa strives.

8.1 ISSUES 8.1.1 The subdivision, use and development of rural land can have adverse effects on the environment. 8.1.2 The requirement of the Plan to be effects-based places emphasis on the need to define effects and the minimum standards to be applied to those effects. 8.1.3 The loss of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna as a result of land use activities in the rural environment. 8.1.4 The effects of activities within the rural environment and between the rural and urban environments are not always compatible. The management of the effects of the change in activities which occur within the rural environment and on the rural-urban fringe as a result of the expansion of urban areas onto rural land is an issue. 8.1.5 The requirement to sustainably manage rural resources has implications both for the use of land and for its subdivision. 8.1.6 The effects of inappropriate subdivision, use and development on outstanding natural features and landscapes. 8.1.7 There is a risk that adverse environmental effects can result from incompatible activities located close together, including cumulative effects in near urban areas. 8.1.8 Inappropriate subdivision, use and development can adversely impact on the amenity values of the rural environment 8.1.9 Activities and services that have a functional relationship with rural production may be more efficient and appropriate to establish within the rural environment rather than more densely settled areas. 8.1.10 Inappropriate use and development along approach roads to town centres and domestic airports can adversely impact on prevailing character and amenity values. 8.1.11 Loss of rural production land due to development pressure from non-rural activities.

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

The proposed redevelopment of the existing marae is compatible with all the above issues, which are mainly about inappropriate development close to urban areas, subdivision, loss of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna area, etc. all of which do not apply to the redevelopment of the existing marae. The use of Te Tahaawai Marae will remain the same as it is now – tangihanga, hui and wananga. The intention is not to lose native vegetation but to increase it by planting indigenous trees and shrubs after building is complete. After Te Tahaawai Marae has been rebuilt there will be a planting and restoration programme focusing on the riparian edge at the bottom of the whenua (that leads to Te Awaroa or Pupuke River). Change in the building includes a larger footprint with solar power and changes in the infrastructure includes a new sewage system. There is no loss of rural land as while there is a larger footprint for the new marae, it is essentially being built in the same place or where there is existing concrete (netball courts). There are no further subdivision, building or development activities planned for this land.

8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES EXPECTED 8.2.1 A rural environment where natural and physical resources are managed sustainably. 8.2.2 A rural environment in which a wide variety of activities is enabled, consistent with safeguarding the life supporting capacity of air, water, soil and ecosystems. 8.2.3 A dynamic rural environment which is constantly changing to meet the social and economic needs of the District’s communities through the sustainable management of natural and physical resources. 8.2.4 The maintenance of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna including aquatic habitats, and an increase in such areas that are formally protected. 8.2.5 Adverse effects arising from potentially incompatible activities are avoided, remedied or mitigated. 8.2.6 The maintenance of values associated with outstanding natural features and landscapes in the rural environment. 8.2.7 A rural environment where change is acknowledged whilst amenity values are maintained and enhanced to a level that is consistent with the productive intent of the zone

The proposed redevelopment of the existing marae is compatible with all the environmental outcomes, which are mainly about inappropriate development close to urban areas, subdivision, loss of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna area, etc. Improving the buildings and facilities of Te Tahaawai Marae (e.g. sewage, water) will improve the environment by reducing the chance of positive E.coli readings (last noted in December 2019 as above the health limit) and ensure sewage is not leaked into the land or waterways. Mana whenua seek to improve the environment after construction is complete with landscaping, planting and fencing activities to encourage bird life and ensure our part of the waterways are healthy – as is our responsibility as kaitiaki.

8.3 OBJECTIVES 8.3.1 To promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources of the rural environment.. 8.3.2 To ensure that the life supporting capacity of soils is not compromised by inappropriate subdivision, use or development. 8.3.3 To avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse and cumulative effects of activities on the rural environment. 8.3.4 To protect areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna. 8.3.5 To protect outstanding natural features and landscapes. 8.3.6 To avoid actual and potential conflicts between land use activities in the rural environment. 8.3.7 To promote the maintenance and enhancement of amenity values of the rural environment to a level that is consistent with the productive intent of the zone.

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

8.3.8 To facilitate the sustainable management of natural and physical resources in an integrated way to achieve superior outcomes to more traditional forms of subdivision, use and development through management plans and integrated development. 8.3.9 To enable rural production activities to be undertaken in the rural environment. 8.3.10 To enable the activities compatible with the amenity values of rural areas and rural production activities to establish in the rural environment.

The rebuild of Te Tahaawai Marae includes the development of an environmental plan that will begin once consent has been approved and builders have been contracted. The environmental plan will identify the areas we have to protect (e.g. the waterways), the areas for planting (riparian, rongoa, harakeke for weaving). Protecting of areas of wahi tapu, significant nature features, habitats and landscapes will be identified and preserved as part of this environmental plan. As the activities and use of Te Tahaawai Marae remain the same after the rebuild there are no perceived challenges in terms of changes to amenity values and compatibility with a rural area.

8.4 POLICIES 8.4.1 That activities which will contribute to the sustainable management of the natural and physical resources of the rural environment are enabled to locate in that environment. 8.4.2 That activities be allowed to establish within the rural environment to the extent that any adverse effects of these activities are able to be avoided, remedied or mitigated and as a result the life supporting capacity of soils and ecosystems is safeguarded and rural productive activities are able to continue. 8.4.3 That any new infrastructure for development in rural areas be designed and operated in a way that safeguards the life supporting capacity of air, water, soil and ecosystems while protecting areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna, outstanding natural features and landscapes. 8.4.4 That development which will maintain or enhance the amenity value of the rural environment and outstanding natural features and outstanding landscapes be enabled to locate in the rural environment.

No further development of this whenua is planned or projected. There are no expected change of activities for Te Tahaawai Marae. The use of Te Tahaawai Marae will remain the same as it is now – tangihanga, hui and wananga.

PART 5: PART 2 RMA PURPOSE AND PRINCIPALS The purpose of the RMA Act is to promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources. In this Act the sustainable management means managing the use, the development, the protection of natural and physical resources in a way, or at a rate, which enables people and communities to provide for their social, economic well being and for their health and safety while – a. Sustaining the potential of natural and physical resources (excluding minerals) to meet the reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations; b. Safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of air, water, soil, ecosystems; c. Avoiding, remedying, or mitigating any adverse effect of activities on the environment.

With the rebuild of the new Marae, we are actually being more environmentally friendly with the installation of a new sewage system that allows to clean the water before pushing this back out. It eliminates the need to connect to council supply adding to the already excessive waste and cuts down on our hold of waste matter. We will be adding solar panels to help with power supply, so we can be as self-sufficient as possible. We as a Marae are always focused on supporting the Environment and certainly not a foreign concept to us as Tangata Whenua. We will plant to help with our awa, also promote home grown and to plant native trees where possible.

PART 6: NRC REGIONAL POLICY STATEMENT The NRC Regional Policy Statement recognises that Northland has the second to lowest GDP per capita of NZ’s regions and also that to improve our wellbeing we need to attract and retain large and small-scale investment. The statement also recognises that existing infrastructure use needs to be optimised.

As a Marae and potential use for Community Gatherings to promote Health and Wellbeing by being able to use the Marae as Hub for Mobile Clinics, School Holiday Programs, potential for hosting programs that provides additional adult education to increase the workforce in the Whangaroa Rohe. The Trustees would be open to opportunities.

PART 7: ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS 8.6.5.3 RESTRICTED DISCRETIONARY ACTIVITIES 8.6.5.3.1 TRAFFIC INTENSITY The Traffic Intensity Factor for a site in this zone is 31-200 daily one way movements where access is obtained off a State Highway administered by the New Zealand Transport Agency; and 61-200 daily one way movements elsewhere. The Traffic Intensity Factor shall be determined by reference to Appendix 3A in Part 4.

This rule only applies when establishing a new activity or changing an activity on a site. It does not apply to existing activities, however, the Traffic Intensity Factor for the existing uses (apart from those exempted below) on site need to be taken into account when assessing new activities in order to address cumulative effects. Exemptions: A single residential unit, farming, forestry and construction traffic (associated with the establishment of an activity) are exempt from this rule. In assessing an application under this provision the Council will restrict the exercise of its discretion to: (a) the time of day when the extra vehicle movements will occur; (b) the distance between the location where the vehicle movements take place and any adjacent properties; (c) the width and capability of any street to be able to cope safely with the extra vehicle movements; (d) the location of any footpaths and the volume of pedestrian traffic on them; (e) the sight distances associated with the vehicle access onto the street; (f) the existing volume of traffic on the streets affected; (g) any existing congestion or safety problems on the streets affected; (h) with respect to effects in local neighbourhoods, the ability to mitigate any adverse effects through the design of the access, or the screening of vehicle movements, or limiting the times when vehicle movements occur; (i) with respect to the effects on through traffic on roads with more than 1000 vehicle movements per day, the extent to which Council’s “Engineering Standards and Guidelines” (2004) are met; (j) effects of the activity where it is located within 500m of reserve land administered by the Department of Conservation upon the ability of the Department to manage and administer that land. (k) the extent to which the amenity values of the immediate area, including adjacent properties and the road frontage, will be adversely affected by traffic movements. (l) the effects on the safety and/or efficiency on any State Highway and its connections to the local roading network. (m) the effects of the proposed development on the continued operation, or future expansion, of the existing activities in the surrounding area.

Although the occupancy of the proposed marae is 337 persons, it would be rare for that many to attend any single event apart from a tangi of notable people. Most activities at the marae would have a maximum occupancy of 60-100 people. Weber Road is a gravel road that exits State Highway 10. After the Weber-Waihapa Road junction the road narrows, with its maximum width being only five metres. Although Weber Road is not designed for large volumes of traffic and is not wide enough for comfortable safe passing at normal road speed there have been tangi held that attracted over 1,000 people in the past and there haven’t ever been any problems.

Te Tahaawai Marae 245 Weber Road Kaeo

When there are Hui that exceeds 100 tangata there are always Maori Wardens who take care of the parking and guiding whanau to parking spaces. As we are surrounded by Whenua Maori parking is moved to surrounding areas with the consent of whanau. Parking is not all held on the Marae Whenua. Just like the Kaeo Town hall who can host two hundred people easily and have a carpark for 10 cars and that is being kind, people find alternative parking.

8.6.5.1.4 SETBACK FROM BOUNDARIES The lack of setback has absolutely no effect on anyone; There is only one residence further along the road which ends less than 400mm from the Marae. Because the buildings are being built some 2- 10m lower than the road and some 30m away the external scale and proportion of the buildings will seem in scale of their surroundings. The buildings are set some 30m away from the roadway, and because of the general fall to the south east the buildings will not obstruct any views from the western side of the road, nor will they restrict visibility for vehicle manoeuvring. There is however the ability to improve the visual amenity by street planting .. this will be discussed by the Trustees. The proximity to the boundary will not prevent building construction or maintenance- 4.5m is ample distance to carry out these activities. Due to the geography of the Te Tahaawai Marae Reservation it is difficult not to build within 10m of a boundary. While the marae has 5ha of land, approximately half of it is in the area known as the ‘lower paddock’. The sloping north western end of the lower paddock is going to be utilised for the sewage system and the lower south eastern portion has previously been used as a rugby field. However this land is close to Te Awaroa (Pupuke) River and is prone to flooding so it is not suitable for building. The Proposed Wharenui building is 4.5 metres away from the boundary because we wanted to leave as much room as possible to the North to maximise for parking and outdoor activities. South west of the proposed WhareNui where it is proposed to be less than 10m distance to the boundary there will be a driveway. It is unrealistic to waste such land in a rural area where the effects are minimal.

15.1.6B PARKING Sixty carparks are shown on the grass field adjacent to the marae and there is enough area for the remaining required 24 should they be required. The marae will mark all carparks out with stones or some other above ground manner on the grass. The area is too large to be sealed and it is impractical to do when for many events there will be less than 20 carparks required.

15.1.6C.1.5 VEHICLE CROSSING STANDARDS IN RURAL AND COASTAL ZONES The two entrances to the Te Tahaawai Marae Reservation will be widened during the rebuild as part of the landscaping stage of this project.

PART 8: IN MITIGATION In mitigation rebuilding the existing marae in the rural production zone has no adverse effects on the environment, neighbours or visual amenity of the area.

The proposed rebuild of the marae building will enable use of the facilities i.e. community hireage for groups and families for meetings, classes and celebrations. It will become a focal point for the community.

The marae has a long history in the community and the current buildings are in need of replacement.
