In particular it identifies the location of scheduled sites. Scheduled sites of ecological significance are shown on the planning maps. Part 7 - Heritage contains the objectives, policies and rules applying to such sites. Section 3.0 of this appendix contains diagrams of individual sites. The diagrams are ordered according to their planning map reference number. The criteria for scheduling sites of ecological significance is contained in appendix 4 - Criteria for scheduling heritage items. 2.0 Disclaimer for all diagrams in appendix 1d The diagrams show a green polygon (or several polygons) around the scheduled site. The polygon (or polygons) forms the definitive identity and location of the scheduled site. Some diagrams may include parts of a site extending below mean high water springs (MHWS). Areas below MHWS fall within the jurisdiction of the Auckland Regional Council, and are therefore outside the jurisdiction of this Plan. Any areas below MHWS are indicative and shown for information purposes only.

  • Vascular Flora of Motuora Island, Hauraki Gulf Shelley Heiss-Dunlop & Jo Fillery
    Vascular flora of Motuora Island, Hauraki Gulf Shelley Heiss-Dunlop & Jo Fillery Introduction 1988). A total of 141 species (including 14 ferns) were Motuora Island lies in the Hauraki Gulf southwest of recorded. Exotic plants confined to the gardens Kawau Island, approximately 3km from Mahurangi around the buildings at Home Bay were not included Heads, and 5km from Wenderholm Regional Park, in Dowding’s (1988) list. Dowding (1988) commented Waiwera. This 80ha island is long and narrow on four adventive species that were “well-established” (approximately 2km x c. 600m at its widest) with a and that “may present problems” (presumably for a relatively flat top, reaching 75m asl. The land rises future restoration project). These species were abruptly, in places precipitously, from the shoreline so boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera), boxthorn that the area of the undulating ‘level’ top is (Lycium ferocissimum), gorse (Ulex europaeus) and comparatively extensive. Composed of sedimentary kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum). All four strata from the Pakiri formation of the Waitemata species still require ongoing control. However, as a Group (Lower Miocene age, approximately 20 million years old), Motuora is geologically similar to other result of ongoing weed eradication endeavours, inner Hauraki gulf islands such as Tiritiri Matangi, boxthorn has been reduced to a few isolated sites, Kawau, Waiheke and Motuihe Islands (Ballance 1977; and boneseed once widespread on the island is Edbrooke 2001). considerably reduced also, occurring in high densities now only on the northern end of the island (Lindsay History 2006). Gorse and kikuyu are controlled where these Motuora Island was farmed, from as early as 1853 species inhibit revegetation plantings.

  • Auckland Region
    © Lonely Planet Publications 96 lonelyplanet.com 97 AUCKLAND REGION Auckland Region AUCKLAND REGION Paris may be the city of love, but Auckland is the city of many lovers, according to its Maori name, Tamaki Makaurau. In fact, her lovers so desired this beautiful place that they fought over her for centuries. It’s hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city. Its two magnificent harbours frame a narrow isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. From any of its numerous vantage points you’ll be astounded at how close the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean come to kissing and forming a new island. As a result, water’s never far away – whether it’s the ruggedly beautiful west-coast surf beaches or the glistening Hauraki Gulf with its myriad islands. The 135,000 pleasure crafts filling Auckland’s marinas have lent the city its most durable nickname: the ‘City of Sails’. Within an hour’s drive from the high-rise heart of the city are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, deserted beaches, wineries and wildlife reserves. Yet big-city comforts have spread to all corners of the Auckland Region: a decent coffee or chardonnay is usually close at hand. Yet the rest of the country loves to hate it, tut-tutting about its traffic snarls and the supposed self-obsession of the quarter of the country’s population that call it home. With its many riches, Auckland can justifiably respond to its detractors, ‘Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful’. HIGHLIGHTS Going with the flows, exploring Auckland’s fascinating volcanic

  • Hauraki Gulf Islands
    SECTION 32 REPORT REVIEW OF INDIGENOUS VEGETATION CLEARANCE CONTROLS – HAURAKI GULF ISLANDS 1.0 Background 1.1 Introduction In 1999, the Council commissioned Hill Young Cooper Limited to undertake a review of the indigenous vegetation clearance, earthworks, and lot coverage controls applying in the Hauraki Gulf Islands Section of the Council’s District Plan (‘the Plan’). The Plan has been operative since June 1996 and this work was commissioned as part of a progressive review. Hill Young Cooper was asked to focus on whether the practical application of the rules actually achieved the stated outcomes. In its report1, Hill Young Cooper suggested several changes to the existing indigenous vegetation clearance controls. In particular, it recommended to reduce or increase the amount of vegetation clearance permitted for differing land units to ensure the controls were more consistent with stated objectives and policies. The consent thresholds could then be better linked to the adverse environmental effects of indigenous vegetation clearance i.e. erosion, loss of natural habitats and ecology etc. Building on the conclusions of the Hill Young Cooper report, the Council prepared a draft Plan Change in October 2001, however, it did not proceed to the Planning and Regulatory Committee as it did not satisfactorily address the findings of the Auditor General’s report2. The Auditor General’s report found that the indigenous vegetation clearance rules were causing difficulty as they are generally more restrictive than that of previous plans. Therefore, particular sectors of the community, particularly farmers, felt disadvantaged due to the strict permitted clearance controls and the relative cost of obtaining a resource consent.

    PLANT ME INSTEAD! NORTHLAND Acknowledgements Thank you to the following people and organisations who helped with the production of this booklet: Northland Regional Council staff, and Department of Conservation staff, Northland, for participation, input and advice; John Barkla, Jeremy Rolfe, Trevor James, John Clayton, Peter de Lange, John Smith-Dodsworth, John Liddle (Liddle Wonder Nurseries), Clayson Howell, Geoff Bryant, Sara Brill, Andrew Townsend and others who provided photos; Sonia Frimmel (What’s the Story) for design and layout. While all non-native alternatives have been screened against several databases to ensure they are not considered weedy, predicting future behaviour is not an exact science! The only way to be 100% sure is to use ecosourced native species. Published by: Weedbusters © 2011 ISBN: 978-0-9582844-9-3 Get rid of a weed, plant me instead! Many of the weedy species that are invading and damaging our natural areas are ornamental plants that have ‘jumped the fence’ from gardens and gone wild. It costs councils, government departments and private landowners millions of dollars, and volunteers and community groups thousands of unpaid hours, to control these weeds every year. This Plant Me Instead booklet profiles the environmental weeds of greatest concern to those in your region who work and volunteer in local parks and reserves, national parks, bush remnants, wetlands and coastal areas. Suggestions are given for locally-sold non-weedy species, both native and non- native, that can be used to replace these weeds in your garden. We hope that this booklet gives you some ideas on what you can do in your own backyard to help protect New Zealand’s precious environment.

  • Bot Soc Trips to the Noises (Hauraki Gulf) and an Updated Species List
    Bot Soc trips to The Noises (Hauraki Gulf) and an updated species list E. K. Cameron The Auckland Botanical Society (AK Bot Soc) has had two day trips to The Noises Islands in recent years: 20 March 1993 and 21 March 1998. For both trips we hired the Reo Moana and left from Panmure Wharf. The trip taking nearly 2 hrs each way allowed only limited time for botanising. Both trips were well attended: 47 adults and 8 children (1993) and 52 adults and 7 children (1998). The 1993 trip spent 2.5 hrs on Motuhoropapa and 1.5 hrs on Otata; in 1998 we spent 3.5 hrs only on Otata. Jessica Beever (1993) published an article on the mosses of The Noises based on the 1993 Bot Soc visit and existing herbarium specimens in AK and WELT. AK Bot Soc also visited Otata on 3 March 1951 with the W.E.A. (Workers Education Association) Natural History Club in a launch loaded to capacity (Hannken & Moynihan 1951). I wonder what the attraction of The Noises in March is for AK Bot Soc? The rocky island group was named by an early French explorer who called them Les Noisettes "The hazelnuts" which has been corrupted to "The Noises" (Cranwell 1981: 69). The Noises are composed of Waipapa Group argillites and greywackes (unfossiliferous) of possible Jurassic age (Mayer 1968). There are four main islands in the group: Otata (15.0 ha) Motuhoropapa (also known as Motuhurakia) (8.1 ha) David Rocks (0.3 ha) and Ruapuke or Maria (1.1 ha) (island areas after Taylor 1989) and there are also five associated islets.
