    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • Introduction to the District
    Hauraki District Plan September 2014 6.2 INDIGENOUS BIODIVERSITY AND SIGNIFICANT NATURAL AREAS 6.2.1 BACKGROUND (1) PART 2 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991 (RMA) (a) The RMA has a key role in managing our indigenous biological diversity. Almost all forms of resource use affect indigenous biodiversity, and biodiversity is recognised in the Act in many ways. Part 2 of the Act places a responsibility on the Council to recognise and provide for the general protection of indigenous vegetation and habitats of indigenous fauna. (b) Section 5(2)(b) of the Act refers to safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems. Section 6(c) places a responsibility on Council to protect areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna as a matter of “national importance”. Section 7 also requires Council to have particular regard to the maintenance and enhancement of amenity values (Section 7(c)) and the intrinsic value of ecosystems (Section 7(d)). The definition of “Intrinsic Values” in the Act includes values derived from biological and genetic diversity and the essential characteristics that determine an ecosystem’s integrity, form, functioning and resilience. These characteristics are also integral to the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems identified in Section 5(2)(b). In addition, it is understood that some areas of indigenous biodiversity have cultural values of importance to tangata whenua, and through the protection of indigenous biodiversity for ecosystem reasons, such protection can also assist Council in carrying out its responsibilities under Section 8 of the Act. (c) Section 31 of the Act provides that it is the function of territorial authorities to control the effects of the use of land for the maintenance of indigenous biological diversity.

  • Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: an Example of Council(S), Consultant and Contractor Co-Operation to Remove a Historic Blight on the Landscape
    Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: An example of Council(s), Consultant and Contractor co-operation to remove a historic blight on the landscape. The Kaiaua coastline on the Gulf of Thames is an area of scenic and natural beauty. However, a 205m stretch of the coastline was for 20yrs used as a landfill for disposal of domestic and demolition waste, including asbestos containing material (ACM). Buried in natural hollows and localised excavations, and compressed to less than 1m thick the wastes lay hidden and largely forgotten until coastal erosion and retreat of the shoreline started to expose and wash out the refuse. Hauraki District Council inherited this legacy and decided to do something about it. To achieve a cost effective and practical level of remediation required a pragmatic approach by Regional and District Councils through the consenting process, by the Consultant in planning, verification and oversight, and by the Contractor working within a tight time frame, tidal and environmental constraints. The work also attracted considerable public and press attention. Close liaison and co-operation between all parties was essential during the site works including shared supervision of the work and joint assessment of materials that could be retained. In this paper we describe the constraints affecting the project and approaches used to overcome these to achieve a successful and acceptable level of site remediation. Authors: Ken Read: Principal Engineering Geologist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Andre Tibshraeny: Project Manager Hauraki District Council, Paeroa Debbie Dewar: Senior Environmental Scientist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Key Words: Landfill, Consenting, Asbestos, Contaminated Land, Remediation Introduction with site materials where possible or imported shelly material from further north on the The former Kaiaua landfill, located shoreline.

  • 7.5 Designations
    Hauraki District Plan September 2014 7.5 DESIGNATIONS 7.5.1 BACKGROUND (1) A Minister of the Crown, regional and territorial local authorities with financial responsibility for a public work, or a network utility operator that has been approved as a requiring authority for a particular project under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), may require land to be designated within the District Plan. (2) The requiring authority responsible for the designation may do anything in accordance with the designation, irrespective of the rules in the District Plan that might otherwise control the activity. Without the prior written consent of the requiring authority responsible for the designation, no one may do anything in relation to the designated land that would prevent or hinder the project or work to which the designation relates. The zone and district wide rules control activities that are not covered by the designation. (3) The designation process and information to accompany a notice of requirement to designate land is set out in the RMA. (4) Public works may also be provided for in the District Plan by the following means: (a) Rules in the Plan The particular activities that the public work involves may be included as a permitted activity in the zone concerned. (b) Resource Consents Where the work concerned is not a permitted activity, an application for resource consent can be made. (c) Existing Use Rights Those public works that are existing and which contravene a rule in the plan may be provided for by existing use rights under the RMA. (5) The agency responsible for the public work concerned may decide to use or rely on one of the above options to apply to its proposal/operation.
