It signals a new approach to tourism management in the region, designed to ensure Hurunui maximises the opportunities New Zealand’s rapidly growing tourism industry presents. 4 5 “This Strategy outlines a bold new “New Zealand’s tourism sector is growing “The new direction for Hurunui Tourism FOREWORD approach to the way Hurunui Tourism rapidly with 4.5 million visitors expected that is outlined in this Strategy is crucial has traditionally operated.

The Hurunui offers much more than Hanmer Springs. The Waipara Valley is one of New Zealand’s premier wine regions with award-winning wineries, restaurants and vineyards. Across the district – from its iconic rolling green hills, forests and rivers, to its vast and sandy coastlines – the scenery is some of the best in New Zealand. 8 9 HURUNUI THE SECTOR’S TOURISM BOARD VALUE Maximising the opportunities that tourism presents to the Hurunui is the job of the The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) Regional Tourism Hurunui Tourism Board, a Hurunui District Council committee. Members are chosen for Estimates (RTEs) show that tourism in the Hurunui is worth approximately $150 million their business skills, tourism sector insight and knowledge of the district. to the district’s economy annually. Overall, the RTEs show tourism in Hurunui is in excellent shape with total tourism expenditure increasing by 6.7% in 2016. The Board’s values and foundation principles are: WORKING TOGETHER SUSTAINABILITY FOSTERING The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that the Hurunui With other District Tourism Ensuring that what we do REGIONAL Tourism Board set to measure Hurunui Tourism’s success Organisations (DTOs), Regional is feasible in the long term in 2016 were achieved.

However, Hurunui’s reliance on domestic tourism, especially from Christchurch, may restrict our overall growth. It is important for Hurunui Tourism to continue to reach into various target markets (for example, Auckland, Wellington and the conference and meetings sector). To capitilise on these markets’ potential, we need to adopt a more sales-focussed approach. It is also crucial that Hurunui Tourism works harder to attract new investment to the region so that our range of tourism offerings is increased. That will help attract both new and repeat visitors to our district. This Strategy outlines how this will be achieved. CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES 12 13 To achieve this vision and to develop tourism in our district, the Hurunui MAXIMISING OUR Tourism Board has identified two core functions: FUTURE 2017-2022 The Hurunui Tourism Board recognises and embraces the vision expressed in the New Zealand Tourism Strategy: ENABLE DEVELOP OUR BUSINESSES TO DESTINATION GROW (SALES) Visitors and their host communities understand and embrace the spirit of Manaakitanga (hospitality), while New Zealanders’ environment and culture is conserved and sustained in the spirit of Kaitiakitanga (guardianship), and tourism is a vibrant and significant contributor to the economic development of New Zealand. This Strategy proposes a shift from solely focusing on destination marketing to destination management. Destination management is a process of leading, influencing and co-ordinating the management of all the aspects of a destination that contribute to a visitor’s experience, taking account of the needs of visitors, local residents, businesses and the environment. VISIT ENGLAND MAXIMISING OUR FUTURE 2017-2022 14 15 WE HAVE TWO AREAS OF FOCUS TO ACHIEVE THIS DESTINATION Destination Development: Destination Marketing: Developing Hurunui as a tourism destination Targeting key markets to visit our district and and collaborating with key stakeholders within actively selling all that our district offers.

They are home to North Canterbury’s best populations of brown trout in addition to seasonal populations of sea run salmon. The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers flow through hills for most of their length and are Canterbury’s most scenic braided rivers. In places, the presence of hills on the riverbanks make access challenging but anglers who put in the effort should be well rewarded.

The CDHB as a whole represents over 8300 employees across a diverse range of services. Every division of the CDHB is affected by alcohol misuse and alcohol-related harm.

  • Report on Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean South of Kaikoura
    Report on altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean south of Kaikoura MAP 1 Source: MapToaster™ NZTopo250 sheets 18 and 19 Crown Copyright Reserved SUMMARY • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (TRoK) is seeking to alter the recorded name, Waiau River, to Waiau Uwha, without the generic term ‘River’. • TRoK’s tradition is that ‘Waiau Uwha, the female river, coupled with Waiau Toa [Clarence River], the male river, drifted away from each other. Waiau Uwha laments this separation and her tears swell the waters when melted snow enters the river’. • TRoK has also made a proposal to alter Clarence River to Waiau Toa. • The river flows generally south and then east for approximately 160 km from its source below Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to its mouth at the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 50 km southwest of Kaikoura. • TRoK has provided evidence of the river being named ‘Waiauuwha’, ‘Waiau-uha’ and ‘Waiau uha’. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori has confirmed that the orthography ‘Waiau Uwha’ is correct, and advised that ‘ua’ can be a contraction of ‘uha’, which is a variant form of ‘uwha’. • Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha River (or Waiau Uwha without the generic term) would recognise the historical significance of the name, 1 Land Information New Zealand 20 April 2016 Page 1 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 and support TRoK’s desire to have the meaning and story behind the name live on. It would also meet the NZGB’s statutory function to collect and encourage the use of original Māori names on official charts and maps.

  • Community-Led Youth Wellbeing Needs Analysis for the Cheviot Area School Catchment and the Wider Hurunui District
    Community-Led Youth Wellbeing Needs Analysis for the Cheviot Area School Catchment and the Wider Hurunui District Prepared by Michelle Cole, Sarah Wylie and Dr Janet Spittlehouse of The Collaborative Trust for Research and Training in Youth Health and Development, for Cheviot Area School, and of relevance to Together Hurunui and Tipu Māia Kāhui Ako January 2021 Executive Summary Background With support from Lotteries Community Research Fund, research was undertaken in the latter part of 2020 focused on the strengths and opportunities of young people in the Hurunui district, and how these can be assisted to grow. The research was initiated by Cheviot Area School, and undertaken by Michelle Cole, a Hurunui-based youth mental health specialist and Sarah Wylie, a researcher from The Collaborative Trust for Research and Training in Youth Health and Development. The research sought to answer the following questions: 1. What are the current and likely future wellbeing needs of children, young people and whānau in Hurunui? (Evidence of service and support needs, barriers to service access, service and support gaps etc.) 2. What model of service delivery and support provision is best-placed to address these wellbeing needs locally? (What services and supports are most needed, how are they best delivered, and what is possible from both a school, community and service provider perspective?) 3. If a wellbeing hub is found to meet with support, what is the best approach to develop a wellbeing hub at Cheviot School in a sustainable manner? Although commissioned by Cheviot Area School, the research is of relevance to all youth service providers across Hurunui, and is intended as a community resource.

  • The Stone Jug Fault: Facilitating Sinistral Displacement
    The Stone Jug Fault: Facilitating Sinistral Displacement Transfer During the Mw7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake By Bradley Scott 30.6.2019 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology at the University of Canterbury 1 The Central SJF approximately 1km south of Limestone Creek looking south. Photography from helicopter by Kate Pedley 2 Abstract th The Stone Jug Fault (SJF) ruptured during the November 14 , 2016 (at 12:02 am), Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake which initiated ~40 km west-southwest of the study area, at a depth of approximately 15 km. Preliminary post-earthquake mapping indicated that the SJF connects the Conway-Charwell and Hundalee faults, which form continuous surface rupture, however, detailed study of the SJF had not been undertaken prior to this thesis due to its remote location and mountainous topography. The SJF is 19 km long, has an average strike of ~160° and generally carries approximately equal components of sinistral and reverse displacement. The primary fault trace is sigmoidal in shape with the northern and southern tips rotating in strike from NNW to NW, as the SJF approaches the Hope and Hundalee faults. It comprises several steps and bends and is associated with many (N=48) secondary faults, which are commonly near irregularities in the main fault geometry and in a distributed fault zone at the southern tip. The SJF is generally parallel to Torlesse basement bedding where it may utilise pre-existing zones of weakness. Horizontal, vertical and net displacements range up to 1.4 m, with displacement profiles along the primary trace showing two main maxima separated by a minima towards the middle and ends of the fault.
