COROMANDEL REGION D T L Y 191 T P S N O I T a C I L Opoutere Beach B U Hot Water Beach P Hahei © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd 191 Coromandel Region Looking a bit like the side view of a hand with its middle finger raised, the Coromandel Peninsula juts defiantly into the Pacific east of Auckland and forms the eastern edge of the Hauraki Gulf. Its dramatic, mountainous spine bisects it into two very distinct parts. The eastern edge has some of the North Island’s best white-sand beaches. When Auck- land shuts up shop for Christmas/New Year this is where it heads. Marinas and cafes cater to the chattering set in the wealthier enclaves, while sandy toes and board shorts are the norm elsewhere. The cutesy historic gold-mining towns on the west side escape the worst of the influx, their muddy wetlands and stony bays holding less appeal for the masses. This coast has long been a refuge for alternative lifestylers – although the hippy communes have gradually given way to organic farms and Buddhist retreats. COROMANDEL REGION Down the middle, the mountains are crisscrossed with walking tracks, allowing trampers to lose themselves (hopefully only figuratively) among large tracts of untamed bush where kauri trees once towered and are starting to do so again. At the base of the peninsula the Hauraki Plains were once massive swampy wetlands, rich with bird life. Pockets remain, with Miranda being the premier holiday spot for feathered jetsetters and their admirers. Although relatively close to Auckland, the Coromandel offers easy access to splendid isola- tion. Some of the more remote communities in these parts are still accessed by gravel roads, and an aura of rugged individualism hangs like mist over this compact and special region.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.

History was made on Saturday last week when the Mercury Bay Senior A Marlins rugby team became for the first time ever the sole holders of the McClinchy Cup by beating Thames 12 - 10 in the 2021 Thames Valley Rugby Union club championship final. It was only the third time that the Mercury Bay Senior A team reached the final. With unrelenting wind and rain, the game was played in the most difficult circumstances imaginable. In 2015, the Bay shared the cup with Waihou after a draw in the final. This time was different. The cup will be displayed in the Mercury Bay trophy cabinet for a full 12 months. The emotion among players and supporters were visible when the final whistle went on Saturday. It was undoubtedly one of the proudest moment in the long history of a very proud club.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • Introduction to the District
    Hauraki District Plan September 2014 6.2 INDIGENOUS BIODIVERSITY AND SIGNIFICANT NATURAL AREAS 6.2.1 BACKGROUND (1) PART 2 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991 (RMA) (a) The RMA has a key role in managing our indigenous biological diversity. Almost all forms of resource use affect indigenous biodiversity, and biodiversity is recognised in the Act in many ways. Part 2 of the Act places a responsibility on the Council to recognise and provide for the general protection of indigenous vegetation and habitats of indigenous fauna. (b) Section 5(2)(b) of the Act refers to safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems. Section 6(c) places a responsibility on Council to protect areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna as a matter of “national importance”. Section 7 also requires Council to have particular regard to the maintenance and enhancement of amenity values (Section 7(c)) and the intrinsic value of ecosystems (Section 7(d)). The definition of “Intrinsic Values” in the Act includes values derived from biological and genetic diversity and the essential characteristics that determine an ecosystem’s integrity, form, functioning and resilience. These characteristics are also integral to the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems identified in Section 5(2)(b). In addition, it is understood that some areas of indigenous biodiversity have cultural values of importance to tangata whenua, and through the protection of indigenous biodiversity for ecosystem reasons, such protection can also assist Council in carrying out its responsibilities under Section 8 of the Act. (c) Section 31 of the Act provides that it is the function of territorial authorities to control the effects of the use of land for the maintenance of indigenous biological diversity.
