The Spatial Picture provides conceptual plans for the intensifi cation areas identifi ed, including Taradale and Ahuriri. These show the potential areas for medium and high-density housing and identify supporting transport improvements. From this, the Spatial Picture identifi es priority areas for action and further investigation, including: • Prioritising structure planning for the southern greenfi eld area given the development occurring there now (Te Awa, Riverbend, The Loop & South Pirimai). • Undertaking further structure planning in the western hills to explore development opportunities towards Puketapu. • Working with Waka Kotahi on the port access business case to integrate land use and transport outcomes. • Working with Kāinga Ora to deliver housing, and supporting amenities and infrastructure in Maraenui. The key next step is to talk to the community about their ideas on the future of Napier, with this Spatial Picture providing a framework for NTS that discussion.

These include: • National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020; • National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management 2020; Policies / District Plan Infrastructure • Upcoming National Policy Statement on Highly Productive Lane (due mid-2021); and Long Term Plan Strategies Review Strategy • Upcoming National Policy Statement on Indegenous Biodiversity (due mid-2021). In the Napier context, read as a whole this national direction is encouraging, and to an extent requiring, growth to occur within the existing urban area, in order to promote improved access between housing, jobs, community services, and open spaces. At the same time, this national direction is seeking to protect versatile soils, freshwater bodies and indigenous biodiversity. This does not preclude greenfi eld development, but it does place a greater emphasis on the role of existing urban areas in catering for future growth.

  • Regional Public Transport Plan 2019 - 2029 Draft
    REGIONAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT PLAN 2019 - 2029 DRAFT APRIL 2019 1 REGIONAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT PLAN 2019 - 2029 FOREWORD FROM REGIONAL TRANSPORT COMMITTEE CHAIR Public transport in Hawke’s Bay has been transformed over the last ten years. Thanks to increased funding from Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency, we now have services which increasingly meet the transport needs of many of our residents. As a result, many more people are using our goBay bus and Total Mobility services than in the early 2000s. However, as for most of regional New Zealand, bus patronage has declined since its peak in 2014, due to lower fuel prices and increased car ownership. There is much to be done to reverse this trend, broaden our range of passengers, provide services over a wider area and utilise new technologies to improve service provision and information. At present, the private motor vehicle is still the main transport choice for most of the region’s residents and if we are to make the best use of our existing transport networks, minimise transport emissions and avoid further costly increases in capacity, we need to convince many more people to choose public transport at least occasionally. Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, in conjunction with its funding partners, intends to meet this challenge with a range of activities spelt out in this draft plan, as well as continuing to provide current levels of bus and Total Mobility services.

  • A Study of Earthquake and Tsunami Evacuation for Napier Hill, Napier, Aotearoa New Zealand
    Understanding residents’ capacities to support evacuated populations: A study of earthquake and tsunami evacuation for Napier Hill, Napier, Aotearoa New Zealand December 2019 Benjamin A. Payne Julia S. Becker Lucy H. Kaiser Intentionally left blank. Disaster Research Science Report 2019/01 2 ABSTRACT Due to a large regional subduction zone (the Hikurangi subduction zone) and localised faults, Napier City located on the East Coast of Aotearoa/New Zealand is vulnerable to earthquake and tsunami events. On feeling a long or strong earthquake people will need to evacuate immediately inland or to higher ground to avoid being impacted by a tsunami, of which the first waves could start to arrive within 20 minutes (based on the Hikurangi earthquake and tsunami scenario presented in Power et al., 2018). Napier Hill is one such area of higher land, and it is estimated that up to 12,000 people could evacuate there in the 20 minutes following a long or strong earthquake. To understand the capacity of Napier Hill residents to support evacuees, three focus groups were held with a diverse sample of residents from Napier Hill on 21 and 22 July 2019. A follow up email was sent to all participants a week after the focus groups, containing a link to a short six question survey, which was completed by 68 people, most of whom were additional to the focus group attendees. Data from the focus groups and the survey was analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis. The findings highlight that in general people were happy to host evacuees and offer support if they were in a position to do so.

  • Planning Napier 1850-1968
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. PLANNING NAPIER 1850–1968 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand John Barry Annabell 2012 Abstract In the context of New Zealand planning history, planning can be seen in two forms. Informal planning describes planning-related activities already taking place before the establishment of formal town planning in the early 20th century. Formal planning describes planning activities based on legislation, a developing body of knowledge, and a planning profession. Whether informal or formal, planning has been concerned with the arrangement and control of activities in space, with the objective of creating a better living environment. For Napier, a provincial centre, the influence of planning on the growth and development of the town is discussed in terms of four principal themes, covering the period from the birth of the town in the 1850s until 1968. These themes are reclamation, reconstruction, suburban growth, and place promotion/civic improvement. Reclamation planning was important, given that the original town was almost totally surrounded by sea or swamp, with insufficient land for future expansion. A major earthquake in 1931 destroyed the business area of Napier, but helped solve the expansion problem by raising the level of land so that reclamation became easier or was now unnecessary.

  • Representation Review - Addendum
    Representation Review - addendum 1. At the Seminar with Elected Members on 7 March 2018, Elected Members asked officials to look into the following: A) Whether 3 wards could be justified in terms of effective representation - and the 3 wards could be used in a mixed system with no single-member wards, and the total of Elected Members to remain at 12. B) Whether there are any options for retaining a mixed system with the current ward structure, with no single-member wards, and reducing the number of At Large Elected Members (possibly to 4) to retain a total of 12 Elected Members. A) Mixed system – under a 3 ward structure Effective representation 2. As outlined in the analysis paper, we know that the current ward structure broadly accommodates for communities of interest under the following factors as referenced in the Guidelines 2017: Avoiding arrangements that may create barriers to participation • Voters in high deprivation areas, in particular, in the Nelson Park Ward, are given particular representation under the current ward structure. Over three quarters of the Napier population know their ward. Not splitting recognised communities of interest between electoral subdivisions • The Ahuriri and Taradale Wards have more commonality than the Onekawa-Tamatea, and Nelson Park Wards. There is also a difference in communities of interest between each Ward. Not grouping together two or more communities of interest that have few common interests • As above, and the only communities of interest that do not fit completely within the current ward structure are the ones who have very distinct characteristics, which are unlikely to fit completely within any ward structure, e.g.

  • Wet and Warm for Much of New Zealand
    New Zealand Climate Summary: November 2020 Issued: 4 December 2020 Wet and warm for much of New Zealand Rainfall Over double the normal November rainfall total (>200% of normal) was recorded for parts of Waikato, Bay of Plenty, central North Island, Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki, Wellington, Nelson and Tasman. Other areas that experienced above (120-149% of normal) or well above normal rainfall (>149% of normal) were the remainder of the North Island except for the Far North, East Cape, and western Waikato. Most of Marlborough, Canterbury and Buller also experienced above or well above normal rainfall. Well below normal rainfall (<50% of normal) was experienced in much of Southland, Fiordland, and the southern half of the West Coast. Rainfall was near normal (80-119% of normal) or below normal (50-79% of normal) for the remainder of the country (the Far North, western Waikato, Otago, and the central West Coast). Soil Moisture As at 30 November, soil moisture levels were higher than normal for most of the North Island south of Hamilton, as well as Nelson-Tasman. Soil moisture levels were lower than normal for much of Northland to northern Waikato and the southern half of the South Island. Temperature Temperatures were well above average (>1.20°C above average) for areas of eastern Northland, Auckland, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Gisborne, and the West Coast. For most other parts of New Zealand, temperatures were above average (0.51- 1.20°C above average), except for Wellington, Marlborough and parts of Canterbury which had near average (±0.50°C of average) temperatures.
