The Department has recognised that to halt the ongoing decline of New Zealand’s natural heritage, and to manage well our visitor facilities, we need to significantly increase our conservation effort by working more with others - Ngāi Tahu , communities, businesses and individuals; even more than has occurred over the past ten years. For the first time, this CMS integrates national and local conservation priorities at particular places and identifies desired outcomes for places that are special to communities and Ngāi Tahu. This CMS has been developed through a lengthy public process and is the result of input from Ngāi Tahu and many in the community. Their input, and enthusiasm and support for conservation, is acknowledged and has helped to direct the future of conservation in Canterbury (Waitaha) over the next ten years and beyond. This CMS became operative on 1 September 2016. Dr Warren Parker Chairman, New Zealand Conservation Authority Dr Mick Abbott Chairman Canterbury Aoraki Conservation Board Andy Roberts Director, Operations, Eastern South Island Kaihautū, Matarautaki Canterbury (Waitaha) Conservation Management Strategy 2016 7 Introduction Purpose of conservation management strategies Conservation, as defined under section 2 of the Conservation Act 1987 (the Act), is the: ‘preservation and protection of natural and historic resources for the purpose of maintaining their intrinsic values, providing for their appreciation and recreational enjoyment by the public, and safeguarding the options of future generations’. The functions of the Department of Conservation (the Department) are for the most part identified in section 6 of the Act and in other Acts listed in the First Schedule of the Act. The purpose of a conservation management strategy (CMS), as defined by section 17D of the Act, is to implement statements of general policy, and to establish objectives for the integrated management of natural and historic resources, including species managed by the Department, and for recreation, tourism and other conservation purposes. The Act creates a hierarchy of documents to guide the Department in its management. The Act is at the top, General Policy is next and below that are the CMS and conservation management plans, and other management plans. In Canterbury (Waitaha) there are 14 operative conservation management plans1 including the Te Waihora Joint Management Plan 20052 and Molesworth Management Plan 2013. There are two operative national park management plans prepared under the National Parks Act 1980: for Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and Arthur’s Pass National Park. Statutory framework for the management of public conservation lands and waters Conservation Act 1987 National Parks Act 1980 General Policy General Policy Conservation management strategies National park management plans Conservation management plans A lower order planning document cannot derogate from a higher order one; meaning it cannot be contrary to it. The lower in order a planning document is, the greater the level of detail as to management intentions. 1 Except for the Te Waihora Joint and Molesworth Management Plans, these plans are all reserve and Crown land management plans from the 1970s to 1990s, and are intended to be revoked or withdrawn subsequent to this strategy’s approval. The intent of the Conservation Amendment Act 1996 was that CMS provide any required management detail for individual areas of public conservation lands and waters. 2 Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Department of Conservation. 2005: Te Waihora Joint Management Plan—Mahere Tukutahi o Te Waihora. Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Department of Conservation, Christchurch. NB While the New Zealand Geographic Board name is ‘Lake Ellesmere (Te Waihora)’, the CMS uses the abbreviation ‘Te Waihora’ as used in the joint management plan. 8 Canterbury (Waitaha) Conservation Management Strategy 2016 The general policies relevant to this CMS are the: Conservation General Policy 2005, which applies to all conservation lands, waters and resources managed by the Department under the following Acts: the Conservation Act 1987, the Wildlife Act 1953, the Marine Reserves Act 1971, the Reserves Act 1977, the Wild Animal Control Act 1977 and the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978. The General Policy for National Parks 2005, which sets expectations and takes priority for national park management planning. Other legislation for which the Minister of Conservation has a role or that is relevant to this CMS includes: the Greater Christchurch Regeneration Act 2016,3 the Electricity Act 1992, the Freedom Camping Act 2011, the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014, the Protected Objects Act 1975, the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986, the Crown Minerals Act 1991, the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, Crown Pastoral Land Act 1998, the Walking Access Act 2008 and the Game Animal Council Act 2013. Each CMS is prepared with public participation according to the process set out in the Conservation Act 1987.

INTRODUCTION It is just twenty-five years since 'Our Yesteryears: 1840-1950' (a short history of Methodism in Canterbury) was published. At that time, Cantabrians stood on the eve of the provincial centennial. Twenty-five years later five denominations —including Methodism — stand on the brink of a decision which is crucial to their continued independent existence. It seemed appropriate therefore, to bring the story of Methodism in Canterbury up to date in the hope that from the late 1970s the Church of Christ in New Zealand will be a reality and the story of Methodism as a separate denomination complete.

  • 3 a CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT for CHRISTCHURCH Colin D
    3 A CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT FOR CHRISTCHURCH Colin D. Meurk1 and David A. Norton2 Introduction To be 'living in changing times* is nothing new. But each new technological revolution brings an increasingly frantic pace of change. There has been a growing separation of decision-makers from the environmental consequences of their actions; there is a general alienation of people from the land, and there has been a corresponding quantum leap in environmental and social impacts. The sad and simple truth is that the huge advances in power and sophistication of our technology have not been matched by an equivalent advance in understanding and wise use of its immense power. From a natural history perspective the colonies of the European empires suffered their most dramatic changes compressed into just a few short centuries. In New Zealand over the past millenium, the Polynesians certainly left their mark on the avifauna in addition to burning the drier forests and shrublands. But this hardly compares with the biological convuolsions of the last century or so as European technology transformed just about all arable, grazable, burnable and millable land into exotic or degraded communities, regardless of their suitability for the new uses. Even today, 2 000 ha of scrub is burnt annually in North Canterbury alone. It is equally tragic, since the lessons from past mistakes are all too obvious, that there has persisted an ongoing, but barely discernible, attrition of those natural areas that survived the initial onslaught. Inevitably the greatest pressures have occurred in and around the major urban centres. The European settlers were primarily concerned with survival, development, and attempts to tame the unfamiliar countryside.

  • Improving Rock Climbing Safety Using a Systems Engineering Approach
    Lyle Halliday u5366214 Improving Rock Climbing Safety using a Systems Engineering Approach ENGN2225- Systems Engineering and Design, Portfolio Abstract This portfolio outlines an application of Systems Engineering methods to the sport of Rock climbing. The report outlines an organized, logical analysis of the system that is involved in making this sport safe and aims to improve the system as a whole through this analysis. Steps taken include system scoping, requirements engineering, system function definition, subsystem integration and system attributes which contribute toward a final concept. Two recommendations are made, one being a bouldering mat which incorporates the transportation of other equipment, the other being complete, standardised bolting protocols. These concepts are then verified against the design criteria and evaluated. 1.0 System scoping: A systematic way of establishing the boundaries of the project and focusing the design problem to an attainable goal. The project focuses on Lead Climbing. 2.0 Requirements engineering: Establishing the true requirements of climbers, and what they search for in a climbing safety system 2.1 Pairwise Analysis: Establishing safety, ease of use and durability as primary design goals 2.2 Design Requirements and Technical Performance Measures: Specifying the design requirements into attainable engineering parameters. 2.3 House of Quality: Identifying the trade-offs between safety and functionality/ cost and the need for a whole-of-systems approach to the problem, rather than a component approach. 3.0 System Function Definition: Establishing concepts and system processes. 3.1 Concept Generation and Classification: Identifying possible and existing solutions on a component level and taking these to a subsystem level.
