CONFLICTS OF INTEREST There were no conflicts of interest noted. 2. PUBLIC FORUM 2.1. Linda Heurea and Olive Howden – Murupara Kaumātua Group Ms Howden advised that they were seeking funding for the Kaumātua programme and noted that they were putting on a lunch for the local emergency services personnel in recognition of the good work that they do in the community. Ms Heurea noted that a member of the community had recently suffered a stroke and due to the quick response the person was making good progress and walking around the community once more. 2.2. Laurence Jenner – Motorbikes n Murupara Refer to pages 4a-c of the tabled items. Mr Jenner tabled a letter noting that he was sick and tired of the behaviour of people on motorbikes within the community and said that they were ripping up the parks, roadsides and lawns in the town. He said that many of the riders were underage and had no respect for anyone when on their bikes. Mr Jenner noted that when he had approached some of the riders, they had indicated that they had nowhere to go to ride their bikes and it was easier to ride through the town as the Police could not catch them. 5 WHAKATĀNE DISTRICT COUNCIL MONDAY, 14 MAY 2018 Murupara Community Board - AGENDA 4.1 Minutes - Murupara Community Board 26 March 2018 (Cont.) Mr Jenner advised that he had spoken to the Police who indicated that although they do try to apprehend the riders they were often unable to do so due to being short staffed at the station. He said that the repairs to the damage caused by the riders had to be paid for by the ratepayers and emergency services had to attend call outs when riders became too careless. Mr Jenner said that it came back to the safety of the community and the people riding the bikes. Mr Jenner suggested that a ban be placed on trial bikes riding on the road berms along the Main Road to the College and the whole of the Murupara township. He said that a place needed to be found for the riders to be able to ride safely. Mr Jenner noted that some residents were starting to take matters into their own hands and this needed to be stopped before someone got hurt. Discussion ensued and it was noted that if a place was set aside for riding, it would need to have health and safety rules and the culprits would still continue to ride their bikes through town to get to the site. Mr Makiri noted that his son was one of the riders and said that he did not disrespect anyone. He said that if anything unlawful needed attention he as his parent would deal with it. Mr Makiri noted that the Police had visited his home to speak with them about riding the bike through town and was told that the Police did not want to see him going “hard out” on the bike around town and advised him to ride the bike on bush tracks where it was allowed to be ridden. Mr Makiri said that putting a bylaw in place would not work as the riders would not respect it. He suggested that the Board needed to communicate with the riders and provide them with an area that they could ride as they did not have licences. The Chief Executive of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Manawa advised that they would be interested in assisting with a solution to the issue. It was agreed that a meeting be arranged between riders and community members interested in assisting to find a solution. Mr Makiri advised that he would assist. Mr Tupe also noted his support for making the town safer for all residents. Attendance: Ms Howden and Heurea left the meeting at 12.23 pm 2.3. Maramena Vercoe – Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Manawa Ms Vercoe noted that as part of the LTP people were being asked to commit to options for the sewerage scheme when real solutions had not been provided and considered that this was a back to front approach as people did not want to commit to something and then find later that there was to be no further consultation. Ms Vercoe said that Te Rūnanga wanted to become more involved in discussions around options and how these would impact on everyone and participate in the decision making. She advised that one of the key issues was that no wastewater be discharged into the Rangitāiki River. The Manager Strategy and Community Development advised that the key message was about working together and engaging with the community to come up with a solution and that at this stage there was no decision on what that would be. 2.4. Zane Makiri Mr Makiri advised that the Tangatawheuna Wealth and Resource Management Authority were the true people of Aotearoa and needed to be consulted with on any matters that concerned Murupara. Attendance: Mr Jenner left the meeting at 12.35 pm 6 WHAKATĀNE DISTRICT COUNCIL MONDAY, 14 MAY 2018 Murupara Community Board - AGENDA 4.1 Minutes - Murupara Community Board 26 March 2018 (Cont.) 3.

  • Kawerau Geothermal System Management Plan
    KAWERAU GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN February 2018 Prepared in Collaboration with Executive Summary The Kawerau Geothermal System is located to the north-east of Kawerau within the Bay of Plenty Region, and partially underlies the township of Kawerau. It has been substantially developed for industrial purposes pursuant to resource consents granted by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). This includes geothermal energy being used for electricity generation, industrial processes (direct heat) and cultural purposes. Bay of Plenty Regional Council has functions under Section 30 of the RMA for the management of geothermal resources. The Bay of Plenty Regional Policy Statement (RPS) requires the preparation of a System Management Plan (SMP) for the Kawerau Geothermal System as a key part of the way in which BOPRC intends to manage the Kawerau Geothermal System. This SMP has been prepared in collaboration with the four consent holders authorised to take more than 1,000 tonnes per day of geothermal fluid from the Kawerau Geothermal System, being: Mercury NZ Limited, Ngāti Tūwharetoa Geothermal Assets Limited, Geothermal Developments Ltd, and Te Ahi O Māui Partnership. Engagement has also been undertaken with tangata whenua and interested and potentially affected parties, including industrial operators using the geothermal resource. The purpose of this SMP is to ensure that the Kawerau Geothermal System is managed in a sustainable manner in accordance with the requirements of the RMA and the relevant policy and planning documents prepared under the RMA. The content anticipated in an SMP is set out in Policy GR7B of the RPS and includes objectives for its overall management and strategies to achieve the objectives The SMP is a non-statutory document and will be periodically reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and fit for purpose.

  • Aspects of the Chronology, Structure and Thermal History of the Kawerau Geothermal Field
    Aspects of the Chronology, Structure and Thermal History of the Kawerau Geothermal Field By Sarah Dawn Milicich A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology Victoria University of Wellington School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Wellington, New Zealand 2013 ii „It is what it is‟ id est quod est J.L. Wooden (pers. comm. 2010) iii iv ABSTRACT The development and management of high-temperature geothermal resources for electrical power generation requires accurate knowledge of the local geological conditions, particularly where they impact on the hydrology of the resource. This study is an integrated programme of work designed to develop new perspectives on the geological and structural framework of the Kawerau geothermal resource as a sound basis for field management. Although the geological approaches and techniques utilised in this study have previously been used, their application to an integrated study of a geothermal system in New Zealand has not been previously undertaken. Correlating volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy in geothermal areas in New Zealand can be challenging due to similarities in lithology and the destruction of distinctive chemical, mineralogical and textural characteristic by hydrothermal alteration. A means to overcoming these issues is to utilise dating to correlate the stratigraphy. Zircons are resistant to the effects of typical hydrothermal conditions and were dated using SIMS techniques (SHRIMP-RG) to retrieve U–Pb ages on zircons. These age data were then used to correlate units across the field, in part aided by correlations to material that had previously been dated from fresh rock by 40Ar/39Ar techniques, and used to redefine the stratigraphic framework for the area.

Some long overdue changes and the impact of two natural disasters in quick succession combined to put intense pressure on the Council’s resources. Our performance suffered in some areas as a result. The new Council, elected October 2004, is smaller with three fewer members, and includes six first- time Councillors who have had a steep learning curve. Despite this, the organisation is laying the foundation for better future performance by putting in place policies that reflect our community's desire for sustainable long-term solutions to the issues that confront us. Work either completed or under way on substantial issues includes rating and financial policies, retail growth, residential, commercial and industrial growth strategies and a transportation study. In some areas such as seal extensions we have deferred work until our policies are more robust. The formation of the Regional Economic Development Agency and joint approaches by local government in the Eastern Bay to issues arising out of our natural disasters demonstrates willingness for the region to work together. There is much to be gained. The body of the report contains detailed commentary on the different activities we undertook in 2004/05.
