PALEOENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF QUATERNARY STRATA IN THE LEVIN AREA A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Quaternary Science at Massey University ALAN HENRY SEWELL 1991 ·-~-. - - ,.-.··,_·.:·.-· Frontispiece: Pencil sketch looking north from the Tararua foothills, south-east of Potts Hill, across the Tokomaru Marine Terrace and Manawatu River flood plain beyond. ABSTRACT Marine transgression during the Last Interglacial resulted in widespread inundation of the southern Manawa tu area. The Otaki Formation constitutes the relatively thick blanket of predominantly marine sand deposited at the height of the transgression and is now exposed in a partially dissected marine terrace abutting the Tararua Range. Sedimentation was controlled by basement block faulting related to a regional strike-slip tectonic regime on the south­ eastern margin of the South Wanganui Basin. Wave-induced longshore currents from the north-west supplied abundant sediment to the coast. North-east of Levin the Kairanga Trough, occupying a north-east-trending structural depression between uplifted basement blocks, formed the centre of an embayment during the transgression. Tide-dominated depositional processes predominated around the margins of the embayment. In the Forest Lakes area, the absence of seaward barriers resulted in an open wave-dominated coastline. Between Ohau and Shannon mixed wave/tide processes predominated. Stabilisation of sea level resulted in shoreline progradation which was especially marked south of Levin where a dune belt formed, mantling the coastal cliff and later migrating inland.

  • Very Wet in Many Parts and an Extremely Cold Snap for the South
    New Zealand Climate Summary: June 2015 Issued: 3 July 2015 Very wet in many parts and an extremely cold snap for the south. Rainfall Rainfall was above normal (120-149%) or well above normal (> 149%) for much of the Manawatu-Whanganui, Taranaki, Westland, Tasman, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago, and Southland regions. Rainfall was well below normal (< 50%) or below normal (50-79%) for parts of Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, and north Canterbury. Temperature June temperatures were near average across much of the country (within 0.5°C of June average). Below average temperatures were recorded in inland Canterbury, Wairarapa, western Waikato (0.5-1.2°C below June average) and above average temperatures experienced in northern, eastern, and western parts of the North Island and northern, western, and south-central parts of the South Island (0.5-1.2°C above June average). A polar outbreak in late June led to the 4th-lowest temperature ever recorded in New Zealand. Soil Moisture As of 1 July 2015, soil moisture levels were below normal for this time of year for East Cape, around and inland from Napier, coastal Wairarapa, coastal southern Marlborough and eastern parts of Canterbury north of Christchurch. It was especially dry about north Canterbury where soils were considerably drier than normal for this time of year. Sunshine Well above normal (>125%) or above normal (110-125%) sunshine was recorded in Northland, Auckland, western Waikato, Wellington, Marlborough, north Canterbury, and Central Otago. Near normal sunshine (within 10% of normal) was recorded elsewhere, expect in Franz Josef and Tauranga where below normal sunshine was recorded.

It has long been thought that the Ohariu fault "dies out" to the north in the Waikanae/Otaki area as a series of splays. However, in 1996 we discovered that the pronounced, 60 km long, NNE- to NE-trending topographic lineation that runs just inland of, and parallel to, the western flank of the northern portion of the Tararua Range between Otaki and Palmerston North is an active, right-lateral strike-slip fault. We name this newly discovered fault the Northern Ohariu fault because it appears to be the northern, along-strike, continuation of the Ohariu fault. Collectively the Ohariu and Northern Ohariu faults define a major active strike-slip fault that has a total length in excess of 130 km. Offset geomorphic features such as alluvial terrace risers and valley margins, and estimated ages based on soil and loess stratigraphy are used to constrain the timing, amount, and rate of movement on the fault.

As at many other schools throughout the country, the number of rangatahi (teenagers) seeking help is unprecedented. The pressure increased with the onset of Covid-19 and the return to school in May. Issues have included increased anxiety, depression, family separation, impacts of family mental health needs, stress about exams and future plans. College counsellor Jo McInerney says she’s pleased to see that students are seeking support, but she’s “holding” the safety of many while they wait for therapy. Community mental health and counselling services are also stretched, so the wait can be 4-6 weeks. “Once significant issues have come to the surface it can be difficult for students WHEN HUMANS to manage their emotions,” Jo says. “I am needing to help students to make safety plans for themselves and to have increased contact with home as required.” LET CATS DOWN The college has applied to the Ministry By Ian Carson of Education Covid- 19 Urgent Response The grey tabby had roamed North Manakau Sad case of the Manakau Mauler Fund to increase counsellor resource – it’s for months, scrapping with local cats and he was a former house cat.

  • Outstanding Natural Landscapes & Features
    1 OUTSTANDING NATURAL LANDSCAPE AND FEATURE REVIEW OUTSTANDING NATURAL LANDSCAPES & FEATURES REVIEW HOROWHENUA DISTRICT COUNCIL August 2011 Prepared for Horowhenua District Council by Boffa Miskell Ltd www.boffamiskell.co.nz Interpretation of Lines on Maps The ONFL areas are mapped to communicate their location and general spatial extent. However, landscapes are a continuum and the combination of landscape values that contribute to part of the landscape being identified as an ONFL do not conveniently stop and start at a particular points or boundaries. Consequently, the mapped lines should be considered as ‘zones of transition’ rather than precise lines that mark absolute points of change. However, for the practicality of the District Plan and landscape management a line does need to be defined. The boundaries for this ONLF review are based on topographical features, aerial photographs and maps of various scales. While care has been taken to accurately map the lines some discrepancies may occur when integrated at at scales larger than 1: 50 000.

The Ohau committee wrote objecting to the proposal, urging that it would tend to weaken the present school. It was decided to suggest to _ the committee that it should subsidise a cart for the conveyance to and from- the present school of children living at a distance. [An aided school is where the community pay all the costs and the Education Board pays the school a sum of money based on the roll.] 28th June 1900 It was reported that parents on the Muhunoa road declined to provide conveyances so that their children might attend the Ohau School. 4th March 1903 Wellington Education Board With regard to the Kimberley road and Upper Muhunoa schools, it was reported a new road was being made to connect the districts, in which case one school would serve the needs of both places. The department’s offer of a subsidy towards the cost of conveying children living at the extremity of the road, the report stated, was still available. The report was adopted. 5th October 1904 Wellington Education Board Inspector Bakewell reported in favour of a new side school at Muhunoa, three to four miles from Ohau.

  • September, October and November 2013 Consents
    SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 2013 In the past 3 months the consents team have been processing a number of large applications while it has been business as usual for the smaller scale applications. It has also been a busy time as development of the Nutrient Management consent process continues. CONSENTS Log Jam of large applications The team is juggling three of its largest applications at present. The review of the Palmerston North City Council (PNCC) wastewater discharge consent for Palmerston North has been notified. At the same time the Shannon Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) applications have been made which have also been notified, and which will likely be referred directly to the Environment Court, and the Feilding WWTP applications are almost complete and will be lodged before Christmas. We are very pleased that these three important projects are progressing. However it does create a logistical challenge to hear them all in a reasonable time period. At this stage there is a real chance that hearings could be required at about the same time which makes finding commissioners, evidence exchanges and internal staffing challenging Furthermore, these projects involve many of the same expert witness and processing these at the same time will no doubt be a burden on these people. The Shannon proposal will be progressed within statutory timeframes. The court has been critical of the protracted history of these applications and is keen to progress the matter. Ultimately the responsibility of processing the applications will be passed onto the court early next year. The PNCC WWTP review has been notified and a hearing is likely be scheduled in April/May at the earliest.
