INTRODUCTION Environment Bay of Plenty commissioned Wildland Consultants to review the location, extent and site-specific information on significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna within the Bay of Plenty coastal environment. This information will be used as the basis for a plan change to update the Bay of Plenty Regional Coastal Environment Plan (RCEP). The RCEP was developed in the 1990s and became operative in 2003. As it is a RCEP, and is not limited to the coastal marine area1, the objectives, policies, and methods apply to coastal environment but the rules apply only to the coastal marine area. The plan includes a set of A3 maps that show zones and various values and uses. A mandatory review of the plan must be initiated by the 10th anniversary of the date the plan became operative (RMA Section 79(2)), i.e. by 2013. However Environment Bay of Plenty has decided that, due to the age of the ecological information on which the plan is based, a plan change should be undertaken to update the maps. The Resource Management Act requires that the council must provide for the protection of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna (Section 6(c)). This requirement has been implemented through Chapter 6 of the RCEP - Significant Areas of Flora and Fauna - and through mapping of significant sites, based on the following documents: • ‘Significant Indigenous Vegetation of the Bay of Plenty Coastal Zone’ (Beadel 1994a) ; • Reports on marshbird habitats in Tauranga and Ohiwa Harbours (Owen 1993 and 1994a). Three different zones have been delineated: • Coastal Habitat Preservation Zone in the coastal marine area (CHPZ); (sites of international, national or regional significance below MHWS in Beadel (1994a) and sites with ‘significant numbers of at risk marshbird species’ from Owen (1993 and 1994a). • Sites of District or Local Significances (in the coastal marine area) (SSCMA); (sites of district or local significance in Beadel (1994a) and sites with’reasonable numbers’ of marshbirds from Owen (1993 and 1994a). • Sites of Significance (on land) (SSL) (sites of any significance level above MHWS from Beadel (1994a). Environment Bay of Plenty has decided that these zones, and associated provisions in the RCEP, are to be reviewed, for the following reasons: 1 ‘Coastal marine area’ is defined in the Resource Management Act 1991. © 2006 1 Contract Report No. 1345 • The reports the above zones are based on are over ten years old. Over that time, there have been changes to the condition and extent of these sites and the understanding of what constitutes a ‘significant’ site. • Proposed Change No. 1 to the Bay of Plenty Regional Policy Statement (Heritage Criteria) includes new criteria for determining the significance of indigenous vegetation and habitats of indigenous fauna. • The Owen (1993 and 1994a) reports were limited in their scope, in that they only covered surveyed marshbird habitats in Ohiwa and Tauranga Harbours. One of the aims of this project is to provide region-wide coverage and to include habitats of all types of indigenous birds (and other biota). • Lastly, the council has recently acquired additional responsibilities, by way of an amendment to Section

This report covers the period July 2001 to December 2004. An activity involving the disturbance of the bed of a river is controlled by section 13 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and therefore requires consent. However, gravel extraction is normally undertaken away from waters edge so as to avoid any sediment contamination of the watercourse. In the Bay of Plenty region, the areas of high gravel concentrations are in the eastern Bay of Plenty rivers. In fact all of the resource consents for gravel extraction are for rivers located within the eastern Bay of Plenty. Individuals and companies who require large volumes of gravel for construction works and building foundations hold resource consents for such activities. Environment Bay of Plenty’s Operations and Rural Services Department also hold resource consents which enable them to remove gravel to prevent erosion and the exacerbation of flooding caused by build-up of the riverbed.

  • A Fern Propagation Report (2005-2009) John Rugis
    A Fern Propagation Report (2005-2009) John Rugis Introduction I’ve been experimenting with fern propagation for Propagation Method nearly four years with some success. The beginnings Noteworthy accounts of propagation methods are of this interest can be traced back to six months before given by Field (1890), Dobbie (1921), and again that when we relocated to our present bush clad Dobbie (1951). My approach has been to glean the section in Maraetai, South Auckland. Even in my then principles from the past but update to present botanically uninformed state, the presence of ferns and materials and technology. their influence on me was undeniable. Subsequent count revealed that there were already fifty-one fern species present on the property! Overview and Background In my particular experience, the task of fern propagation has consisted of 1) identification, 2) location, 3) collection, 4) propagation. As an identification study guide and reference manual, I have found the book New Zealand Ferns (Brownsey, 1989) indispensible. Historical accounts, such as Fig. 1. A spore packet. contained in Field (1890) and Dobbie (1921), provide additional background and interesting insight into past, I place cuttings in folded white A4 paper for spore as well as possible present, species distributions. release, which often occurs within 24 hours. Most Locating ferns in the wild is often not easy. species are left at room temperature for this and unforced desiccation of the sample occurs. However, “One word of warning, O trustful reader; when you see for green spore species, anything other than very slight a species marked 'abundant,' do not be too sanguine, I drying can kill the spore.

It identifies potential long term alternative State Highway 2 corridors to improve route security and efficiency between Matata and the State Highway 2/Wainui Road intersection. The site area is shown in Drawing 134960-P101. This is a seeping study only, and identifies preliminarily routes which could potentially be investigated in future. I) The existing State Highway 2 route from Matata to the State Highway Two/Wainui Road intersection deviates significantly from a direct route, resulting in inefficiencies, and as a result use of local roads by state highway traffic. II) In addition, the existing state highway route has route security Issues arising from flooding and the stability of key bridges. Bridge insecurity resulting from scour, overturning, and seismic failure are considered to be significant risks for the Ontrack owned State Highway 2 crossing of the Whakatane River (Pekatahi Bridge). The only alternative crossing of the Whakatane River Is on State Highway 30 (Landing Road Bridge).
