We’ve split the areas into chunks and will be working our way toward inner Dunedin over the coming months. In June, Roseneath residents received a letterbox drop containing a pest detection pack so people could ascertain which pests are lurking in their Possum territory markings with backyard. Using our non-toxic, hypoallergenic, mangled chew card Volunteer installing information signs peanut butter baited chew cards, many residents reported possum chews on their cards. Upon further investigation into the bushy corridors on the Roseneath peninsula, we also found extensive possum sign; scratching on trees, territorial marking and lots and lots of possum poo! Traps have been installed on public reserve land and trap catch numbers have been impressive. We look forward to decreasing the possum populations in the area over the coming months as we head into the bird breeding season.

If you’re interested in helping us plant these trees and can spare some time, we have planting bees coming up in August and September. They are a great chance to learn more about forest restoration, biodiversity conservation, and local flora and fauna. We also have a Landowner’s Field Day for people interested in enhancing native forest on their properties. Please contact [email protected] to register for either days (for catering purposes) and keep an eye on our Facebook page and Halo website for details.

  • Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the Protection and Enhancement of Surf Breaks in New Zealand
    Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the protection and enhancement of surf breaks in New Zealand Aaron Mark Edwards A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Planning. University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. 1st November 2012 Abstract The inclusion of surf breaks in the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010) establishes New Zealand as a potential world leader in surf break protection. The approach is highly dependent upon local authorities being required to give effect to these new policy directives. Providing for these policies requires a multi-faceted approach that includes surf break identification, mapping, monitoring, policy provision, integrated management approaches and evaluation. This presents significant challenges, especially given that most local authorities lack specific surfing expertise. Surf break users have extensive knowledge of local surf breaks and an inherent interest in the preservation of surfing resources, representing a potential aid to local authorities in providing for surf breaks. Surf break policy implementation arguably serves to benefit from the involvement of surf break users in management responses and decision-making processes. This thesis involved a case study of the Auckland and Otago regions to explore surf break user values, the purpose of surf break management and the suitability of surf break co- management within New Zealand’s resource management framework. The study involved an online survey of surf break users and interviews with key stakeholders in the management of surf breaks. A key theme that emerged throughout the research was the desire for surf break management to reflect the needs and vision of local surfing communities.

Purpose 1. To report and make recommendations on the determination of various resource consent applications under the notified provisions, Sections 95A(2)(a) and 95A(2)(c) and Section 127 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (the Act). 2. Introduction 2. Port Otago Limited (the applicant) has lodged a series of applications to ready itself for the next generational shift in shipping services, specifically the use of larger (6,000 to 8,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU)) container vessels and/or increase in number, frequency and duration of all vessels using the Port Chalmers wharves due to growth in international trade. 3. The existing lower harbour channel, Port Chalmers berths, and swing area need to be both deepened and widened to accommodate the larger shipping vessels and the existing multipurpose wharf will need to be extended. The deepening of the berths at Port Chalmers will also result in the need for a rock revetment and buttress to be placed under the wharf for stability purposes. A public use fishing jetty at the end of Boiler Point joined to the end of the multipurpose wharf extension is also proposed. 4. The upgrading of the channel, berths and swinging area involves both the deepening and widening of these areas to a maximum depth of up to 17.5 metres (not including over dredge allowance) and will result in up to 7.2 million cubic metres (m 3) of material to be removed from the lower harbour and entrance channel.

  • Peter Entwisle in Retrospect & Prospect
    1 ‘Peter Entwisle in Retrospect and Prospect: His contribution to Dunedin’s heritage Peter Entwisle in Retrospect & Prospect Meg Davidson, 17 April 2018 I was close to Peter in the last ten or so years of his life. My talk was the first of a series of lectures on ‘visions of Dunedin’ organised by the Southern Heritage Trust and the Dunedin Public Library and held at the library. My assessment of his contribution to heritage is a personal view, the talk hastily compiled a month after his death on March 14, 2018. … … ‘And sadly, of course, I’ve had to review his activities without access to Peter himself. ‘I miss his long virtuoso flights of fancy on his favourite subjects, and also his ability to deliver a succinct sound-bite. ‘Yesterday I asked David Murray for his thoughts. The tiny pool of Dunedin’s architectural historians is shrinking rapidly. Elizabeth Kerr died last year. Peter was concerned there were few young historians coming up through the ranks. David Murray is a stellar exception. With research skills, a visual memory and a way with words to match Peter’s he is a worthy successor to Peter’s mantle. Here is what David emailed me last night. 2 ‘Thinking about Peter's contribution to built heritage, I couldn't separate in significance three strands: 1) Awareness - bringing to notice themes and specific places, and local successes and failures, many of which would otherwise have been overlooked by the public. 2) Advocacy - again both broadly and regarding specific campaigns for particular sites. I remember him speaking of how his approach to this evolved, and regretting one earlier instance taking a hard line when an opportunity had been offered for a compromise.
