McKenzie Contracting also supplied fuel for the job and Mr. Jelas did the work voluntarily. He said it was hard-going as in some areas there was concrete which had lifted and in places the surface had to be leveled by 200mm. He is hoping to obtain some road surface material left over from the Brynderwyn hills upgrade to complete the job. He had earlier that morning used the grader to level the car park alongside the Ruakaka Recreation Centre. This was also done free of charge as Mr. Jelas is a member of the Recreation Centre Committee. Despite repeated requests by the Ruakaka Residents and Ratepayers Association to do something about the state of the bus stop area, the Whangarei District Council had failed to come to an agreement with Ilia Petro, the owner of the bus stop land about an upgrade of this area, which, as well as being used as a bus stop, is used as a parking area for vehicles by people who are travelling by Ten-year-old Lucy Murray was an Easter fairy handing out lollipops and bus or car pooling to inviting children to make wishes at the Waipu Easter Carnival travel to Whangarei or Tony Jelas at work with the borrowed grader Auckland.

Wolf 2008 has held the consent since 2011 but Mr. Trass said because of the Global Financial Crises when “things got tough” it hasn’t yet been built. He said prospects are now improving with cruise ships about to come into the port, a proposal for a new dry dock and a rail link to Marsden Point, a residential property boom in Bream Bay and increased Northland tourism. He said his company had had an agreement on the land where the Tans propose to build their service centre but could not get an approval from the New Zealand Transport Agency for an off ramp from State Highway Angela Purnell and Bruce Larsen of Northpine with Kieran Pierce and Felice Croft of Croft Poles at the One at that location.

  • Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds
    Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds Name/Area: Ruakaka Estuary Summary: Ruakaka Estuary is a very small estuary near Whangarei Harbour. It has very limited saltmarsh and mangrove fringes and suffers disturbance from human visitors and roaming pets from intensive subdivision nearby. The intertidal flats and tidal channels do however provide some feeding opportunities for low numbers of some threatened bird species including reef heron, pied shag and northern NZ dotterel, the last of which attempts to nest at the estuary along with variable oystercatcher. The adjacent sandy beach and dunes are sometimes used by flocks of terns and waders, some of the latter visiting from Whangarei Harbour during the high tide period (refer Table below). With lower disturbance levels, the estuary could potentially become a nesting area for NZ fairy tern, but currently it is ranked as Moderate ecological significance.

Inglis, Nick Gust, Graeme Mackay, Rob Tasker Final Research Report for Ministry of Fisheries Research Project ZBS2001/01 Objective 3 National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research May 2004 " I Final Research Report Report Title: Field surveys to determine the extent of distribution and relative abundance of Charybdis japonica in the Whangarei region Authors: Graeme 1. fuglis, Nick Gust, Graeme Mackay, Rob Tasker 1. Date: II-May-04 2. Contractor: National fustitute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd 3. Project Title: Surveillance for exotic marine organisms in New Zealand 4. Project Code: ZBS2001/01 Objective 3 5. Project Leader: Graeme fuglis 6. Duration of Project: 48 days Start date: 13/04/04 Completion date: 31105104 7. Background The non-indigenous portunid crab, Charybdis japonica, was first reported in New Zealand from Waitemata Harbour in 2000 (Webber 2001, Smith et al. 2003). C. japonica is likely to have been introduced to New Zealand by ships arriving from its native range in coastal regions of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia and the western Pacific. Delimitation surveys of the introduced popUlation were undertaken in April and October 2002 throughout Waitemata Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf. At that time C. japonica was widely distributed and abundant throughout Waitemata Harbour, but the population did not appear to have spread further than about 30 km from the harbour entrance (Gust et al. 2002). The northern-most specimens were trapped in Wieti Estuary, approximately 25 km north of Waitemata Harbour, whilst the southern-most record was from Tamaki estuary, ~ 10 km south of the harbour entrance.

  • Bream Bay Strategic Plan 2006
    Bream Bay Strategic Plan SEPTEMBER 2006 Whangarei Area Office, Department of Conservation, Ph 09 430 2133, PO Box 147, Whangarei, New Zealand www.govt.doc.nz Cover: Bream Bay from the mouth of the Sperm whale, Yvonne Ritchie, 1997 © Copyright April 2006 New Zealand Department of Conservation ISBN This report was prepared for publication by DOC Whangarei Area Office. Publication was approved by Department of Conservation, Northland Conservancy. PREFACE This strategic plan is not a Conservation Management Plan as provided for in s17 of the Conservation Act, 1987. Rather, it is an operational strategy that is the outcome of an extended period of internal debate and consideration over the past 2 years, and of a parallel programme of consultation with the community. At this stage, the document represents the Department of Conservation’s current thinking about the management needs of the land under its administration, stretching for some 10 kilometres along the Bream Bay coast from Marsden Point, in the north, through to Waipu Cove in the south. The presence of the refinery at Marsden Point, together with recent developments associated with the neighbouring deep-water port, the Marsden power station and other significant industries in the area, are putting considerable pressure on land resources. Whangarei City has its own needs as it expands south and the magnificent coastal environment provides its own momentum for coastal subdivision to satisfy the demand for homes along this readily accessible coast. Acknowledging that the management of the land under its care has largely been guided by a draft Management Plan prepared by the Department of Lands and Survey, more than 20 years ago, and noting that this is one of the few remaining stretches of beach in Northland with a substantial area of public land behind it, the Department of Conservation initiated this current exercise to ensure that decisions are well informed.
