River Plan Feedback
Submission No: 235 November 2014 HCC draft River Plan feedback From: - Rob Davidson and Peter Bos, for Cycle Action Waikato. To: - Jacob Quinn and the River Plan Team What do we like about the proposed River plan? 1. The River Corridor Map is Great It clearly indicates access of both the riverpath and the river bridges, throughout the whole length of the area covered by the River Plan. It is vital that people get the River Plan’s ‘Key Themes’ from the River Corridor map. This is essential information, which needs to be quickly accessed. For clarity we request that the River Corridor Map’s Key includes the label (‘Key Themes’) above the six theme logos of: - Access, Recreation, Development, Natural Environment, Arts and Culture, and Tourism (shown vertically). 2. The proposed idea for “pedestrian bridge zones” is a great idea. Furthermore, the proposed idea to “Develop a plan to become a city of bridges” is a good one. These two proposals together have a huge capacity to alleviate the River’s existing Community Severance Effect, experienced by walking, cycling, and the mobility impaired. The river currently separates the eastern residential areas from the CBD commercial and employment zone. The river is a huge barrier to cycling access as the majority of Hamilton City’s bridges are not safe for cycling, nor cycle friendly (not comfortable to ride), as described below: - Whitora Bridge (in the past, when 2-laned) was safe with wide road shoulders to cycle in. However, HCC has recently done a huge amount of damage to cycling safety and connectivity, in three-laning the Whitiora Bridge by removing the bridge’s road shoulders (cycling space) to fit an extra vehicle lane. -

[Review] for Vote Transport
Hon Bill English Minister of Finance 7.6 Executive Wing Parliament Buildings WELLINGTON Dear Bill VALUE FOR MONEY REVIEW – VOTE TRANSPORT Purpose This letter responds to your letter dated 17 December 2008 and the Cabinet Business Committee paper CBC (08) 563. In line with the letter and Cabinet paper, I have asked the Ministry to review Vote Transport to identify: • savings that could be freed up for Budget 2009; • programmes that are inconsistent with the government’s priorities and should be discontinued; • programmes that are inconsistent with the government’s priorities and should be looked into; • programmes and expenditure that are not effective or efficient; • areas where performance information is currently insufficient to judge effectiveness or efficiency and actions that are required to make improvements by the next review. Vote Transport summary A summary of the funding under Vote Transport is attached to this letter. It is separated between departmental and non-departmental funding. Departmental funding The Ministry of Transport’s departmental funding will decrease by $3.685 million over the next three years mainly due to the cessation of medium-term project funding. In addition to the planned decrease in funding, the Ministry has forecast unavoidable cost increases arising from existing commitments in relation to staff costs (salaries), building and other expenses. These are expected to add a further $3.377 million by 2011/2012, or 12 percent of the baseline funding of $28.4 million. My Chief Executive has made a commitment -
Potential Shallow Seismic Sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017
Final Report on EQC Potential shallow seismic sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017 Vicki Moon & Willem de Lange School of Science University of Waikato 1. Introduction Following the exposure of a fault within a cutting in a new sub-division development in NE Hamilton, an initial investigation suggested the presence of 4 fault zones within the Hamilton Basin (Figure 1) that represented a potential hazard to infrastructure within the Basin. Hence, the overall aim of the proposal put to EQC was to refine the locations of four potentially active faults within the Hamilton Basin. To achieve this aim, two main phases of geophysical surveying were planned: 1. A seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River channel; and 2. Resistivity surveying to examine the sub- surface structure of identified fault zones. Additional MSc student projects, funded by Waikato Regional Council, were proposed to map the surface geology and geomorphology, and assess the liquefaction potential within the Hamilton Basin. During the course of the project, the initial earthworks Figure 1: Map of the four fault zones that were initially identified from geomorphology for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway and surface fault exposures, as presented in provided exposures of faults, which resulted in some the original proposal. modification of the project. 2. Methods The two main methodological approaches planned for this project were: 1. A high resolution CHIRP seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River within the Hamilton Basin. A previous study examining the stability of the river banks in response to fluctuating water levels (Wood, 2006) had obtained detailed data on the morphology of the river bed using multi-beam and single-beam echo sounders (MBES and SBES respectively), and side scan sonar. -

Community Outcomes operating expenditure and capital expenditure from various revenue sources as required by Section 103 of the Local Government Act. The requirement to consider community outcomes in the funding process is seen as an obligation for Council to consider why it is engaged in an activity and to what level. To that extent, possible funding Section 101 (3) of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) sets out the requirements Council must of activities should be consistent with achievement of desired outcomes. consider as part of the development of the policy. The following sections demonstrate how Council has gone through the steps as required in Section 101(3). ii. Distribution of Benefits At this stage, Council is required to consider who benefits from the activities performed by Council. STEP ONE: This is expressed as the Public/Private split.
