Te Rūnanga o Ngai Tahu (the applicant) has applied for a coastal permit to: a. Reclaim part of the foreshore or seabed; b. Place, alter or remove structures (deposit substance); c. Erect, reconstruct a structure; d. Disturb the foreshore and seabed; e. Deposit material in the foreshore or seabed; f. Occupy the common marine and coastal area; 2. The applicant proposes to undertake construction works to install a revetment / seawall structure along the access track to Onawe Peninsula, Akaroa Harbour, Banks Peninsula. The works are intended to protect the access track which has been subject to erosion and landslip activity, and which is required to maintain Onawe Pa / Peninsula. 3. The application was prepared by Alisa Wood of Opus International Consultants Limited (the consultant) on behalf of the applicant. 4. A site visit was not undertaken during the processing of this application. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY 5. The applicant proposes to erect a revetment (sea wall) structure, disturb and deposit material on the foreshore and seabed, occupy the coastal marine area, and reclaim part of the foreshore or seabed. Refer to Section 3 of the AEE, (Page 9), which accompanied this application for a more detailed description. 6. The applicant is proposing to erect an approximately 20m long revetment on the west side / face of Onawe Peninsula where there is an existing access ramp (for vehicles and walking). The applicant intends for the revetment to protect the track from long term erosion and provide for improved longevity and reduce risk. 7. The applicant will be installing stormwater management subsoil drains to collect water and discharge this water at a point along the rock revetment. 8. In addition, the applicant will be widening approximately 14m of the track at approximately 55m south of the southern ramp. 9. Further work will include moving the existing access gate and landscaping / mitigation works. s42A report version September 2015 Toe Protection and Buttressing 10. The applicant proposes to install a 20m long rock revetment to consist of imported granular fill and rock, which will extend 20m south of the toe of the ramp. 11. The revetment is designed to have a crest level of +4.5m Chart Datum (CD). The fill is proposed to have an overall thickness of 5m, and the rock revetment a crest width of 1m. 12. In order to construct the revetment, 0.25m excavation for the deep toe embedment trench into underlying bed rock will be required to mitigate the risk of toe scour undermining. Figure 1: Toe Protection and Buttressing along edge of southern access ramp, rock revetment (blue shading), new fill (lime green), and extended access track (grey). The relocated gate (purple line) and subsoil drain (green line) are also shown. 13. The western face of the ramp will be benched into its side (1m width, 2-3m in depth) before building the new bench and the lower fill behind the rock revetment structure. The upper fill will widen the access ramp to the required 4m width. Stormwater Management 14. An 80 m long subsoil drain along the access track to channel the drain water away from Onawe Pa to a point on the rock revetment structure will be installed. 15. The subsoil drain will necessitate excavation of a trench along the east side of the access track and ramp approximately 0.10m wide and 0.27m deep. Widening of Access Track 16. Further up the access track, it is proposed to widen he track by cutting into a section of the existing bank. A 14m long cut by approximately 1m wide will be required to widen the access track to 3m in width. Consent Number: CRC184977 Page 2 of 46 Consent Planner: Rhett Klopper Figure 2: Plan showing the subsoil drain (drain line) and area of cut required to widen access track to 3m (red). Shaded green showing area of slip caused by storm water flow. Construction Methodology 17. In Summary, the applicant proposes construction methodology is as follows: a. Trim existing retaining wall; b. Excavate site and proposed rock revetment; c. Install subsoil drain; d. Place rock along eroded bank; e. Backfill behind rock revetment; f. Remove existing gate; g. Install new gate; h. Undertake landscaping; and i. Reinstate site. 18. The applicant will employ erosion and sediment controls during works in accordance with Environment Canterbury’s Erosion and Sediment Control Toolbox (ESCT). 19. Storage of fuel and hazardous substances will not occur within the foreshore and seabed. 20. The majority of works will be undertaken during low tide to minimise the disturbance of the wetted part of the foreshore and seabed. 21. The applicant has requested a duration of 35 years. LEGAL AND PLANNING MATTERS The Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) 22. Section 12 of the RMA states that: “(1) No person may, in the coastal marine area,— (a) reclaim … any foreshore or seabed; or Consent Number: CRC184977 Page 3 of 46 Consent Planner: Rhett Klopper (b) erect, reconstruct, place, alter, extend, remove, or demolish any structure or any part of a structure that is fixed in, on, under, or over any foreshore or seabed; or (c) disturb any foreshore or seabed (including by excavating, drilling, or tunnelling) in a manner that has or is likely to have an adverse effect on the foreshore or seabed (other than for the purpose of lawfully harvesting any plant or animal); or (d) deposit in, on, or under any foreshore or seabed any substance in a manner that has or is likely to have an adverse effect on the foreshore or seabed; or (e) destroy, damage, or disturb any foreshore or seabed (other than for the purpose of lawfully harvesting any plant or animal) in a manner that has or is likely to have an adverse effect on plants or animals or their habitat; or (f) introduce or plant any exotic or introduced plant in, on, or under the foreshore or seabed; or (g) destroy, damage, or disturb any foreshore or seabed (other than for the purpose of lawfully harvesting any plant or animal) in a manner that has or is likely to have an adverse effect on historic heritage— unless expressly allowed by a national environmental standard, a rule in a regional coastal plan as well as a rule in a proposed regional coastal plan for the same region (if there is one), or a resource consent. (2) No person may, unless expressly allowed by a national environmental standard, a rule in a regional coastal plan or in any proposed regional coastal plan for the same region, or a resource consent,— (a) occupy any part of the common marine and coastal area; or (b) remove any sand, shingle, shell, or other natural material from that area… 23. Section 15(1) of the Act states that no person may, in the coastal marine area, discharge any contaminant or water into water, unless the discharge is expressly allowed by a rule in a regional plan and in any relevant proposed regional plan, resource consent or regulations. 24. The proposal involves the occupation of the foreshore and seabed, the reconstruction, erection and alteration of coastal track and rock revetment. This will result in the erection, and reconstruction of a structure, the disturbance of the foreshore or sea bed, and the deposition of material. These activities are not expressly allowed by a national environmental standard or a rule in a regional plan. Therefore resource consent is required. 25. Sections 89A of the RMA Applications affecting navigation to be referred to Maritime New Zealand applies to this proposal. The activity includes a reclamation and includes building a structure, s89A(1)(a)(i). 26. Section 89A(2) requires a local authority to send a copy of the application to Maritime New Zealand (MNZ), who under section 89A(3) must report on any navigation related matters. 27. Mr Ian Fox, Deputy Regional Harbourmaster, has advised me that he considers that as there is limited encroachment into the tidal zone, that there are not navigational safely issues with the proposal. Consent Number: CRC184977 Page 4 of 46 Consent Planner: Rhett Klopper 28. Under an agreement with between the Regional Harbourmaster and MNZ it is not necessary to inform MNZ. Regional Plans Land and Water Regional Plan (LWRP) 29. If the works are adjacent to the Coastal Marine Area (within the Coastal environment (above Mean High Water Spring /Coastal Hazard Zone 1 & 2 (Chapter 9 of the Regional Coastal Plan), then LWRP applies. Some activities within the Coastal Hazard Zones are covered in the RCEP. 30. As the majority of the works are located within the CMA, I do not consider that the LWRP applies to this proposal. The Regional Coastal Environment Plan for the Canterbury Region (RCEP) 31. The CMA includes the foreshore, seabed, and the coastal water and airspace above the water between the outer limit of the territorial waters (12 nautical miles) and the line of mean high-water spring tide (MHWS). Given that the works are in the CMA the RCEP applies. 32. The applicant has assessed the activity status of the proposed activities in Section 4.2.1.1 of the AEE (Page 16) which accompanied the application. Erection, reconstruction, placement, extension, removal and demolition of structures fixed in, on under or over any foreshore or seabed 33. I agree with the applicant that Rule 8.4 Non-complying Activities of the RCEP for reconstruction and extension of a structure within the CMA applies to this proposal.

  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

Over 2001- 2002 the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus based determinands (nutrients) were measured while over 2006-2007 the concentrations of nutrients, chlorophyll-a, total suspended solids, enterococci, and salinity were measured. The bays sampled were primarily selected to represent a range of geographic locations around the peninsula. These bays varied in regard to aspect of the entrance, length, width and land use. The bays sampled over both time periods were Pigeon Bay, Little Akaloa, Okains Bay, Le Bons Bay, Otanerito and Flea Bay. Hickory Bay and Te Oka Bay were also sampled over 2001-2002 but not over 2006-2007 while Port Levy and Tumbledown Bay were sampled over 2006-2007 but not over 2001-2002. Median concentrations of the nutrients ammonia nitrogen (NH3N), nitrate-nitrite nitrogen (NNN), total nitrogen (TN), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) and total phosphorus (TP) were typically comparable to those reported from sites north and south of Banks Peninsula but some differed from those in Akaroa and Lyttelton harbours.

To my knowledge there is no historic information on the ecological state of these mudflats yet there is potential for impacts from human activities and there has been for some time. Concerns expressed by local residents about the health of the mudflats prompted this study. To assess the state of the mudflats sediment and biota samples were collected from four sites in both Governors Bay and Charteris Bay and six sites from Head of the Bay. Sediment samples were analysed for sediment grain size, organic matter content and concentrations of total nitrogen, total recoverable phosphorus and the metals copper, lead and zinc. The biota collected on a 0.5 mm screen were identified and counted and all cockles present were measured. The sediment at sampled sites ranged from very muddy, to muddy, to muddy sand, to muddy sand with shell/rock fragments.

Villeneuve2 and I. Walsh2 ABSTRACT At 12.51 pm (NZST) on 22 February 2011 a shallow, magnitude MW 6.2 earthquake with an epicentre located just south of Christchurch, New Zealand, caused widespread devastation including building collapse, liquefaction and landslides. Throughout the Port Hills of Banks Peninsula on the southern fringes of Christchurch landslide and ground damage caused by the earthquake included rock-fall (both cliff collapse and boulder roll), incipient loess landslides, and retaining wall and fill failures. Four deaths from rock-fall occurred during the mainshock and one during an aftershock later in the afternoon of the 22nd. Hundreds of houses were damaged by rock-falls and landslide-induced ground cracking. Four distinct landslide or ground failure types have been recognised. Firstly, rocks fell from lava outcrops on the Port Hills and rolled and bounced over hundreds of metres damaging houses located on lower slopes and on valley floors. Secondly, over-steepened present-day and former sea-cliffs collapsed catastrophically. Houses were damaged by tension cracks on the slopes above the cliff faces and by debris inundation at the toe of the slopes.
