  • Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara
    3 Management sector plans 3.1 Sector 1 Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara A unique feature of this sector is the harbour escarpment and the steep gullies off Onslow Road and Homebush Road. Where topography permits, the bush reserves have been developed to include tracks, with play areas, kick-about space or informal recreation space sometimes also provided. The Outer Green Belt (OGB) extends right down into Broadmeadows, Crofton Downs, Ngaio and Khandallah and provides a prominent natural setting for residential housing in this area and access to the extensive track system. The suburban reserves enhance ecological connectivity between the OGB and the harbour via the large natural gully reserves and smaller pockets of open space. This sector is adjacent to but does not include Trelissick Park or reserves in the Outer Green Belt. The open space network comprises: • One sport and recreation (community) park – Nairnville Park, which has a 3/4 size artificial field, three winter fields, two summer cricket blocks, a skateboard ramp and a community playground. Nairnville Recreation Centre is located on the park and provides a range of indoor recreation activities and programmes, changing rooms and public toilets during its hours of operation. • Kaiwharawhara Park on Hutt Road has one winter field and changing rooms. • Ngaio Tennis Club leases a recreation reserve on the corner of Crofton Road and Waikowhai Street. • 10 neighbourhood parks with a further two, Khandallah Park and play area and Silverstream Road play area, on the edge of this sector managed under the Outer Green Belt Management Plan. • Several large bush reserves.

    Gorge Gazette News about Trelissick Park, the Ngaio Gorge and Streams (Footbridges over the stream are numbered from 1 – 6 going downstream, excluding the old bridge off the side of Wightwick’s Field). Abbreviations: WCC Wellington City Council GW Greater Wellington Regional Council DoC Department of Conservation MARCH 2012 Growing conditions during the autumnal summer have been exceptional. Some home nursery plants have roots sprawling with abandon from the bottom of their bags. Planting has started. 70 have taken up residence already. There is a law that says this will signal the start of a drought. Wellington Community Champion's Award Congratulations to Dorothy Douglass, who received this award from MP Grant Robertson at a small ceremony at the Wadestown Library, last month. Dorothy has been secretary for the Highland Park Progressive Association for years and is their representative on our Group. As such, she has pursued many causes, always with a sunny warmth and unerring diligence. She is famous for her muffins, supplied at working bees. Fishing News WCC Ranger Matt Robertson and David Moss from DoC have carried out a survey of invertebrates and fish barriers within the Kaiwharawhara catchment. Within Trelissick Park and down to the estuary they found four places that some species of fish may find difficult or impossible to negotiate: the concrete culvert near the fuel tanks, the detritus trap, the speed of water in the tunnel for the Kaiwharawhara Stream under the railway and the tunnel for the Silverstream (from Crofton Downs). There was a dearth of invertebrates - essential food for the fish in the stream.

  • Stage 1 – Issues and Needs Analysis Summary of Submissions
    Stage 1 – Issues and Needs Analysis Summary of Submissions Summary of Submissions 1 Executive summary This report summarises the submissions received as part of the first stage of consultation on the North Wellington Public Transport Study. The first stage of the study seeks to identify the public transport issues of the community and key stakeholders, particularly the passenger transport needs of the area. Key stakeholders including land transport providers, community groups, schools, affected residents and the general public were invited to participate in the consultation process. Notification of the process was undertaken in November 2005 through public notices in local papers, public displays at the Johnsonville Mall, Johnsonville, Khandallah and Ngaio Libraries, and a maildrop to over 15,000 households throughout the study area. In addition a webpage was set up to increase awareness and provide an ongoing reference point for interested parties. In total, just over 500 submissions were received from individuals, 5 from community groups and 4 from other organisations. Geographically, submissions were received from the suburbs within the study area. Khandallah, Ngaio, and Johnsonville (in order) were the largest submitter groups. 42 submitters did not specify a suburban address, 8 were from the wider Wellington Region and 1 was from a national organisation. Over half of submitters wished to be contacted further regarding the study. Key findings • Slightly over 50% of submitters use bus services while slightly under 50% use train services. • Approximately 85% walk to their public transport, 15% drive. • The top six issues raised by submitters were frequency of buses (18%), reliability (17%), route (17%), new trains (12%), and the rundown state of trains (10%).

  • SUBMISSION Khandallah Medium Density Housing and Town Centre Plans
    SUBMISSION Khandallah Medium Density Housing and Town Centre Plans From: Khandallah Residents Group c/o 53 Cashmere Avenue Khandallah Wellington 6035 [email protected] Contacts: Diane Calvert Ph 029 971 8994 Christine McKenna Ph 021 107 1675 This submission is made on behalf of the above working group. There are 11 members on the working group, and 305 people who have chosen to be on our database. Summary 1. To be clear, the Khandallah Residents group supports housing choice and supply solutions that best meet the current and future needs of our community. 2. Khandallah Residents Group is opposed to Council’s plan for medium-density housing in Khandallah as an appropriate solution to meeting housing choice and supply needs. 3. The need for additional housing in Khandallah is modest and does not justify the introduction of medium-density housing of the type and scale proposed. Rather than copying housing solutions from larger and different types of cities, we should be more innovative and devise answers appropriate to the scale of the future need and that fit with our community. 4. We have significant concerns about the quality of the consultation process and the flawed and leading submission form. 5. The town planning process needs to take into account the whole suburb and its infrastructure needs and be undertaken in collaboration with the community. This should culminate in a holistic plan for the future of Khandallah. Only then should a Khandallah Design Guide should be developed (not the other way around as has already occurred). 6. Local residents highly value Khandallah’s character (e.g.

Key Native Ecosystem plans New Zealand’s indigenous biodiversity continues to decline nationally, and in the Wellington region. Major reasons for the decline are that native species are preyed on or outcompeted by invasive species and ecosystems and habitats are lost or degraded through human resource use and development. Active management to control threats is required to protect indigenous biodiversity. Regional councils have responsibility to maintain indigenous biodiversity, as well as to protect significant vegetation and habitats of threatened species, under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). Greater Wellington Regional Council’s (GWRC’s) vision for biodiversity is: “The Wellington region contains a full range of naturally occurring habitats and ecosystems that are in a healthy functioning state and supporting indigenous biodiversity” GWRC’s Biodiversity Strategy 2011-211 provides a common focus across the council’s departments, and guides activities relating to biodiversity. One of its goals is: High value biodiversity areas are protected. In order to achieve this vision and goal, the Key Native Ecosystem (KNE) programme seeks to protect some of the best examples of ecosystem types in the Wellington region by managing, reducing, or removing threats to their values.
