The 16 pest plants we feature in this booklet represent a range of climbers or vines, shrubs and large trees. They all damage our indigenous biodiversity, most often by displacing or competing with our native plants directly. The following pest plants are present on Aotea Great Barrier Island but not yet widespread like they are elsewhere in Auckland – and we’d like to keep it that way! We hope this information helps you spot these plants on your property, or at a friends’ or neighbours’ place. If you have come across any of the following 16 species of weeds please contact Auckland Council Biosecurity with a view to eradication. 6 | Pests of Aotea Great Barrier – a local guide Climbing asparagus (Asparagus scandens) What it looks like Why it is a problem • Scrambling and climbing plant, Outcompetes and smothers native also found in trees as an epiphyte. vegetation, preventing regenration. • Slender, extensively branched stems wrap around small trees and saplings.

  • 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.

  • The Wreck of S.S. "WAIRARAPA'' New Zealand
    The wreck of S.S. "WAIRARAPA'' New Zealand By Dr. Andrew M.T. Cheung FRPSL Historic Background The Wairarapa was a New Zealand ship of the late 19th Century plying the route between the Auckland, New Zealand and Australia; a journey of over 1,250 miles. It had a gross weight of 1716 tons and was built in Dumbarton, Soctland in 1882 for the Union Steam Ship Company. It came to tragic fame when it struck a reef and sunk about 100km off Auckland at the northern edge of Great Barrier Island. 140 people died in this incident and it remains one of the largest losses of human life related to maritime disaster in New Zealand’s history. The Wairarapa sailed from Sydney, Australia on 24 October 1894. The ship’s destination was New Zealand port city of Auckland. The ship’s Captain was Captain J.S. McIntosh. Despite the dense fog and storms encountered when the ship reached the North Island of New Zealand, McIntosh refused to slow the ship from nearly full speed of 13 knots. Fatally, the ship went off-course, possibly due to a faulty compass bearing. Whatever the cause, the ship skirted to the west of the Poor Knights Islands, not the east. As a consequence she was much closer to the mainland than the ship’s crew believed. On Monday, October 29, 1894, the Wairarapa, with more than 230 passengers and crew aboard, crashed on to rocks at Miner's Head on Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand shortly after midnight.
