  • Lake County Agricultural & Pastoral Society
    Lake County Agricultural & Pastoral Society From the President Welcome to the 102nd Lake Hayes A&P Show! Our small committee of volunteers have been working hard to create this great family day out. You are invited to come and enjoy the trade displays and stalls, family entertainment and competitions. Catching up with all those locals who have been attending the show for years, or meeting those who are attending for the first time. The Lake Hayes A & P Show is not big compared to other Shows, our grounds are sandwiched between a lake and a state highway, we have the most picturesque site in the country. We aim to provide locals and visitors with a traditional rural day out with a modern and creative flair. In recent years, we have certainly maintained our popularity; trade space is booked in, up to one year in advance, and there’s a waiting list. We make a conscious decision to cater for the traditional A&P enthusiast, offering equestrian competitions, sheep and wool classes, shearing competitions and displays, home industry sections, but in recent years have moulded our schedule to incorporate events for townsfolk and rural lifestyle block families. This year we have added in a section for Miniature Horses – one that is sure to be a crowd pleaser, plus the Clydesdales are back. So, there actually is ‘something for everyone’ at the Lake Hayes A & P Show! A huge thank you goes out to our loyal members and sponsors, who provide the financial backing so that we can run this event year and after year, and thank you also to the competitors (many of whom travel from afar), trade site vendors, spectators and volunteers.

  • Before the Hearings Panel for the Queenstown Lakes Proposed District Plan
    BEFORE THE HEARINGS PANEL FOR THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES PROPOSED DISTRICT PLAN IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER Minute Concerning the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM OF COUNSEL ON BEHALF OF QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL REGARDING THE NATIONAL POLICY STATEMENT ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY 19 April 2017 Barristers & Solicitors S J Scott Telephone: +64-3-968 4018 Facsimile: +64-3-379 5023 Email: [email protected] PO Box 874 SOLICITORS CHRISTCHURCH 8140 MAY IT PLEASE THE PANEL: 1. This supplementary memorandum is filed on behalf of the Queenstown Lakes District Council (Council) to respond to a question from the Hearing Panel (Panel) asked during Hearing Stream 10. 2. The Panel asked the Council to confirm where Arrowtown and other towns sit in relation to the definition of 'urban environment' in the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity 2016 (NPSUDC or NPS). Specifically, the Panel asked whether those towns form part of the Queenstown or Wanaka 'urban environments'. This question relates to paragraphs 23 and 24 of the Council's Memorandum of Counsel dated 3 March 2017 (March Memorandum), where it is stated that although there is some uncertainty as to what parts of the District are an 'urban environment' in their own right, it is accepted that Queenstown itself is a 'high growth urban area' and therefore the NPS applies to the District as a whole. The March Memorandum then states that the NPS provisions apply in tiers and differentiates between the parts of the NPS that refer to urban environments, urban environments expected to experience growth, and medium and high- growth urban areas.

  • Otago Conservancy
    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand OTAGO CONSERVANCY Sutton Salt Lake (67) Location: 45o34'S, 170o05'E. 2.7 km from Sutton and 8 km from Middlemarch, Straith-Tari area, Otago Region, South Island. Area: 3.7 ha. Altitude: 250 m. Overview: Sutton Salt Lake is a valuable example of an inland or athalassic saline lake, with a considerable variety of saline habitats around its margin and in adjacent slightly saline boggy depressions. The lake is situated in one of the few areas in New Zealand where conditions favour saline lakes (i.e. where precipitation is lower than evaporation). An endemic aquatic animal, Ephydrella novaezealandiae, is present, and there is an interesting pattern of vegetation zonation. Physical features: Sutton Salt Lake is a natural, inland or athalassic saline lake with an average depth of 30 cm and a salinity of 15%. The lake has no known inflow or outflow. The soils are saline and alkaline at the lake margin (sodium-saturated clays), and surrounded by yellow-grey earths and dry subdygrous Matarae. The parent material is loess. Shallow boggy depressions exist near the lake, and there is a narrow fringe of salt tolerant vegetation at the lake margin. Algal communities are present, and often submerged by lake water. The average annual rainfall is about 480 mm, while annual evaporation is about 710 mm. Ecological features: Sutton Salt Lake is one of only five examples of inland saline habitats of botanical value in Central Otago. This is the only area in New Zealand which is suitable for the existence of this habitat, since in general rainfall is high, evaporation is low, and endorheic drainage systems are absent.

  • PLAN CHANGE 14 Makarora Rural Lifestyle Zone
    PLAN CHANGE 14 Makarora Rural Lifestyle Zone Section 32 Report Prepared by Vivian+Espie Limited for the Queenstown Lakes District Council 14 September 2007 Section 32 Evaluation Page 1 Makarora Valley Rural Lifestyle Zone EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At present, 880 hectares of the Makarora valley floor is zoned for Rural Living purposes. The Rural Lifestyle Zone permits subdivision as a controlled activity provided new allotments meet a minimum area of 1 hectare and an average allotment size of 2 hectares. Once an allotment is used calculate the above average, all further subdivision becomes non-complying. Residential development within the Rural Lifestyle Zone is a controlled activity where it is located within an approved building platform. Building platforms are required to be identified at the time of subdivision on all lots created by subdivision (except access lots or reserves). The Makarora Rural Lifestyle Zone therefore anticipates that the floor of the Makarora Valley that is currently paddock-land will be subdivided and developed to a minimum lot size of 1 hectare and a average lot size of 2 hectares. Given the size of the Rural Lifestyle Zone at Makarora this would enable in excess of 400 new lots, each with a right to construct a dwelling, residential flat and accessory buildings and curtilage activities. Rural Lifestyle zones of this sort tend to develop a relatively enclosed treed type of character. Under these provisions, the character of the valley floor would become much more fragmented and visually enclosed. Obviously traffic movements, the number of driveways running off the state highway and the presence of people in the valley would consequently increase significantly.

This publication may be reproduced in whole or in part provided the source is fully and clearly acknowledged. ISBN 1-877265-85-3 Published November 2009 Otago lakes’ trophic status i Foreword The high quality of Otago’s lakes and waterways has come to be expected by all who live and visit the region. However, areas are coming under pressure from intensive agriculture, urbanisation and water discharge practices. To help protect water quality, the Otago Regional Council (ORC) carries out long-term water quality monitoring as part of its State of the Environment programme. Short-term monitoring programmes are also carried out in some catchments to provide more detailed information. These programmes assist regional planning and help everyone understand the need to protect water quality. This report provides the results from short-term studies, which monitored the health of five high country lakes (Lakes Hayes, Johnson, Onslow, Wakatipu and Wanaka). With this information the ORC and local community can work together to ensure the future wellbeing of these five important lakes. Otago lakes’ trophic status ii Otago lakes’ trophic status Executive summary Otago Regional Council monitored five high country lakes in the Clutha River/Mata-Au catchment between 2006 and 2009. The monitoring of Lakes Hayes, Johnson, Onslow, Wakatipu and Wanaka was undertaken in order to detect any small changes in the trophic status of the lakes.

I counted, whilst dawdling in traffi c, (heading towards Shotover Country roundabout) 80 cars heading into Frankton before I saw one with two people in it, then 120 more before I saw three. All the rest were single drivers. I was also one. These all originate from Lake Hayes Estate, Shotover Country, Gibbston/ Cromwell and some other Wakatipu Basin traffi c. Digressing momentarily, those subdivisions should never have been allowed to go ahead before roads and bridges were prepared. The consultants were morons. The people deciding to give the go ahead were also morons and we should ask for our money back.

  • As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables
    NZSki “Life As It Ought To Be” As the NZSki CEO James Coddington looked out over the spectacular vista afforded by the Remarkables mountain range - taking in the New Zealand tourist hub of Queenstown - he contemplated the future for his company. “We’re at a tipping point,” he suggested, “things could go either way. We’ve been gradually building momentum over the last few years. But we have to keep moving forward. We certainly have room to cope with more skiers, but if all we do is get more skiers on the mountains we will actually reduce the customer experience from what it is now. That will mean less skiers in the future, a weakened brand, and the undoing of a lot of good work over the last few years.” Figure 1: New Zealand’s Ski Areas NZSki operated 3 skifields – Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in Queenstown and Mount Hutt in Canterbury. Recent growth since Coddington’s appointment in 2007 has been spectacular. The 2009 season was the most successful season on record. As a company, skier/rider numbers were up 29% over 2008 and revenue was up 22% - despite the economic recession. “When I began we were getting 180,000 – 200,000 people a year on Coronet Peak, but now we’re at 330,000.
