This term is no different, except we have been providing our tamariki opportunities to slowly take more calculated risks. When students arrived back for Term 2 we had some new “loose parts” play equipment out in the yard for them to be creative with. One being tyre swings (which the kids seem to love). It’s interesting as I know we have not had swings of any sorts here for quite some time, but really this disables children if they’re not able to challenge themselves and manage their own risks more often.

Marshall Subject: Te Kuha Coal Mine Summary • The applicant has provided appropriate and adequate information to assess the vegetation and flora values of the proposed industrial footprint, the impact of the proposal on those values and potential mitigation and compensation actions • The vegetation and flora values within the Westport Water Conservation Reserve, the Ballarat and Mount Rochfort Conservation Areas and the Lower Buller Gorge Scenic Reserve are clearly significant, particularly the degree of intactness but also the degree of connectivity to other large and relatively unmodified areas of high ecological value, and because of the presence of several “Naturally Uncommon Ecosystems”, two Nationally Threatened plant species, one and potentially two or three plant species in decline – at risk of extinction, and six species with scientifically interesting distributions. • The site is an ecologically important part of the Ecological District and Region. The elevated Brunner coal measures ecosystems are nationally unique: Te Kuha and Mt William are distinguished from all other parts of the elevated Brunner coal measures as they are the only discrete parts of the system that are essentially intact with no significant disruption to ecological patterns and processes and they represent the best example of coastal hillslope forest remaining on elevated Brunner coal measures. • The impacts, both in short and long time frames on significant biodiversity values of an opencast coal mine and associated infrastructure, are significant; the remedial effects of active restoration and site rehabilitation will be limited. • The suggested mitigation actions include avoidance measures, remedial actions and some mitigation and/or compensation suggestions.

Sulphur dioxide concentrations were measured using a continuous fluorescence instrument in Greymouth in 2001 and in Reefton in 2003. Monthly average concentrations of sulphur dioxide and benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene (BTEX) were measured in Westport, Reefton, Runanga, Greymouth and Hokitika during each of the three winters during the programme, using passive sampling techniques.
  • History of Mining and Closure at Reefton Early Gold

    History of Mining and Closure at Reefton Early Gold

    FACT SHEET HISTORY OF MINING AND CLOSURE AT REEFTON Gold was discovered on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island in the 1860s. Fortune seekers flocked from around the globe, seeking alluvial gold; tiny grains and nuggets washed down rivers and creeks. In the hills around Reefton there was another form of gold, trapped in the solid rock and buried deep underground in rich veins. Its discovery in 1870 made the district the centre of a gold mining boom. EARLY GOLD Tunnels and shafts drove deep into the rugged hills to reach reefs of gold-bearing quartz ore. Far below the surface, miners attacked the rock with picks and explosives. Above ground, stamper batteries crushed the quartz to release the precious metal. As gold fever grew, so did the town of Reefton. Shares in mining companies were bought and sold amid wild speculation. Many of the small gold mining companies soon collapsed. New mining equipment was introduced in the 1890s. Rock drills and air compressors were introduced, and an aerial tramway was constructed to carry the ore. At Consolidated’s Progress mine a giant battery of 65 stamps was built. By the early 1900s Cornishtown was a thriving township of 300 people supporting the busy Globe Progress underground mine. Eleven levels reaching down over 600 metres were used to mine the narrow quartz reefs. The mine closed in 1926 after producing over 400,000 ounces of gold. While other mines in the area would continue until the middle of the twentieth century, the era of underground gold mining at Globe Progress was over.

    A National Interpretation Scheme for Conservation Management Of

    4.4 KEY NATIONAL STORIES IN WEST COAST/TAI POUTINI CONSERVANCY The West Coast was the second recipient of the tsunami of goldrush migrants into New Zealand. The Otago fields were left depleted by the movement of miners to the West Coast (within the Province of Canterbury at the time). Migrants also came directly from Victoria and New South Wales, and this influence was significant (Table 4). The Victorian influence was felt in the West Coast population. There were more Irish on the Coast, and the Catholic Church played a greater role than in other provinces. There were also a considerable number of Chinese who came via Otago after 1865. The goldrushes were the genesis of many West Coast towns, both extant (such as Hokitika, Westport, and Okarito) and abandoned (such as Dilmanstown, Goldsborough, and Six Mile). Much of the early European exploration of the West Coast, often with the assistance of tangata whenua, occurred in the pursuit of gold. Whereas in Otago the runholders had expanded into much of the gold-bearing areas, on the West Coast the miners were the first pakeha settlers. The West Coast river ports were dangerous but gave ready access to sea transport routes, particularly to the East Coast of Australia, and Melbourne in particular. The route to Nelson also proved important in the early goldrush era. Living conditions on the West Coast were especially difficult because of the isolation, dispersed nature of the fields, and distinctive climate. Death by drowning and disease were common on West Coast goldfields—‘The New Zealand Death’ (by drowning) was a particular feature.
