Thorpe † † School of Biological Sciences (Tamaki Campus), University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Corresponding author: Stephen E. Thorpe ([email protected]) Academic editor: Laurence Livermore Received: 24 Jul 2013 | Accepted: 06 Aug 2013 | Published: 16 Sep 2013 Citation: Thorpe S (2013) Casuarinicola australis Taylor, 2010 (Hemiptera: Triozidae), newly recorded from New Zealand. Biodiversity Data Journal 1: e953. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.1.e953 Abstract The presence in New Zealand of the triozid Casuarinicola australis Taylor, 2010 is reported for the first time, based on new material from Auckland. This is also the first record of the genus from New Zealand. Keywords Casuarinicola australis, Casuarina, New Zealand, Auckland, new record, Triozidae Introduction Casuarinicola australis Taylor, 2010 was described from Australia, where it is the most common and widespread member of its genus, being widely distributed in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. Like its congeners, it is restricted to host trees of the genus Casuarina. Casuarinicola australis occurs on all Australian species of Casuarina, including C. cunninghamiana and C. glauca. Both these species of Casuarina are exotic and present in the wild in New Zealand, according to the New Zealand Organisms Register (NZOR), as well as present in cultivation. Casuarinicola has not been reported (by name) previously from N.Z. © Thorpe S.

  • Part 2 Present and Future Trends
    PART 2 - CONTENTS PART 2 PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS 2.1 THE FORM OF HOWICK 2.2 GROWTH OF HOWICK 2.3 ETHNIC ORIGIN OF POPULATION 2.4 EMPLOYMENT 2.5 DWELLINGS AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDING 2.6 CONTEXT OF THE PLANNING SCHEME HOWICK THIRD REVIEW PART 2 - PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS 2.1 THE FORM OF HOWICK 111 Howick settlement has existed since 1847 and is today a well established residential suburb. It is located on the shores of the Hauraki Gulf, approximately eleven kilometres north of Manukau City Centre, at the perimeter of the urban area. The Hutchinson Road and Bradbury Road ridges define the western boundary of the district. Continuing from the latter ridge is the topographical backbone of Howick, the ridge which the main road follows, with its high points at Stockade Hill and Minerva Terrace. On the seaward side, a series of ridges and valleys slope toward the cost. A number of these are marked by streams with considerable tree cover. On the landward side, the main ridge forms a basin with a southward orientation which drains to the Tamaki River. The hilly topography has had a strong effect on the roading network with many roads following the ridges. It also means that most parts of the District can enjoy views either of the sea, the countryside or of a suburban landscape. Three major factors have made Howick an attractive residential location. First, the considerable length of north-east facing coastline and beaches backed by sloping land with extensive views to the islands of the gulf.

  • Shell NZ and Mobil Oil NZ
    1 PUBLIC VERSION COMMERCE ACT 1986: BUSINESS ACQUISITION SECTION 66: NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE 20 June 2008 By email: [email protected] The Registrar Market Structure Group Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 WELLINGTON Pursuant to s 66 (1) of the Commerce Act 1986 notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Clearance is sought for Shell New Zealand Limited (SNZ), or an interconnected body corporate of SNZ, to acquire Mobil Oil New Zealand Limited’s (MONZ’s) “Aerostop Network” assets (the acquisition). MONZ’s Aerostop Network comprises 48 unattended refuelling facilities at 34 local and regional airfields throughout New Zealand, which are used to supply Aviation Jet Fuel (Jet A1) and Aviation Gasoline (Avgas). The refuelling facilities consist of a fuel tank or tanks and “swipe card bowsers” (fuel pumps which are activated with customer swipe cards). 2. Jet A1 and Avgas are specialist aviation fuels. They are used in different aircraft and must be stored and transported separately. Jet A1 is a kerosene grade fuel used in turbine aircraft (such as 737s, 767s, helicopters and turbo prop aircraft). Avgas is a motor spirit based fuel used for light piston engine aircraft and helicopters. 3. The relevant supplies fall within the “General Aviation” segment of the broader Aviation Fuels market. The customers in this segment are users of light aircraft and helicopters engaged in a range of activities from recreational flying, tourism, agriculture, search and rescue, air charter and flying schools. The other segments of the Aviation Fuels market (which are not affected by the proposal) are the “Big Jet” (wide body aircraft: domestic and international carriers) and “Domestic/Special Carrier” sectors (turboprop aircraft operated by Air New Zealand Domestic, Air New Zealand Link and low cost airlines), and the “Military”.
