  • Case Study: New Zealand
    Case Study: New Zealand Background Because of its geographic location, its dependence on tourism, and the absence of a comprehensive rail network, New Zealand has developed a large international and national airports network over the years. Until 1966, almost all New Zealand important airports were developed by the State and remained under the central Government ownership and management. There are three main international airports. First, Auckland Airport is the busiest and the main international airport. It is the only airport serving the Auckland metropolitan area, which gathers a third of the country’s total population. Second, Wellington International Airport is also a major domestic hub serving mainly business and government. International flights at Wellington Airport are principally from/to Australia. Third, Christchurch International Airport is the major international airport in the South Island, where it acts as the main hub and attracts a significant share of New Zealand’s international tourist traffic. There are other international airports in New Zealand, such as Dunedin, Hamilton, Queenstown, and Palmerston North, which also get flights from other countries (mainly Australia). Other commercial airports serve domestic and regional traffic. Commercialization/privatization: Airports The commercialization of New Zealand’s airports started early. First, the 1961 Joint Airport Scheme established the principles that resulted in both central and local governments jointly owning and operating airport facilities. The objective of this policy was both to benefit from the expertise of local governments on regional economic needs and opportunities, and to make local government directly invest in airport infrastructure. In 1974, 24 airports throughout New Zealand were under a joint venture ownership.

    RNZAF Sunderland Memories by Robin Klitscher Ref: http://rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/18188 http://www.5sqnassn.org.nz/ SUNDERLAND ON PATROL, NINETEEN FIFTYSOMETHING. PART 1 Flying Sunderland "boats" on maritime patrol seemed always to mean getting up at an unsociable hour. Perhaps because they cruised so leisurely, it was necessary to take off at the crack of dawn, or earlier, in order to be sure of doing anything very much before nightfall. Having arisen however reluctantly, the immediate purpose is to satisfy the engrossing hunger that is a part of such small hours. A sympathetic system makes available a breakfast of monumental proportions at the Combined Mess. Then to the squadron for briefing. Close-in, lights on the hard-standing reflect on the water in the pre-dawn stillness. Farther out, the water ripples in light airs coming down the channel. Ground crew are busy. Marine Section tenders fuss around the jetty, and ruffle the surface between shore and aircraft. The control launch is readying to put out. In the operations room the navigators plot the patrol on their charts. The weather will be mostly broken cloud, some showers, wind on average 350 degrees at 15 knots, except for a front lying across the route about five hours out. They hunch over their computers - not the modern digital variety, but a device with a circular slide rule on one side and a wind-and-course triangulation gizmo on the other. The flight engineers worry about fuel load and all-up weight; and the signallers about frequencies, morse keys and code books.

  • Services at Holy Trinity
    RICHMOND PARISH PROFILE WHO ARE WE? We are a committed group of Christians who endeavour to make our church a welcoming church to all. Many visitors have favourably commented on the friendly welcome they receive among us. We are in an evangelical diocese and most of our congregation tend in that direction. There are, however, a number of parishioners with a more liberal theology. Our focus tends towards what unites us rather than what we disagree on. We are a predominantly older congregation with a small number of children and very few members in the 20-40 age group bracket. We value our evangelical, Anglican heritage which does provide a unique flavour to the Richmond church scene. Our two Sunday morning services attract just over 80 people to our wooden church on the hill near the centre of the Richmond township. WHERE ARE WE? Although Richmond is geographically close to Nelson, it is administered by the Tasman District Council (www.tasman.govt.nz) which has its main council offices in Richmond. Richmond is a thriving, growing centre for the rural townships to the south and the west. The population was estimated to be 17,250 in June 2020. In the 2018 census the main ethnic breakdown of the Tasman Region was European (92.6%), Maori (8.7%), Asian (2.8%) and Pacific (1.6%). (These figures exceed 100% as people can associate with more than one ethnic group). Due both to an increasing influx of retirees and the ageing population Tasman District’s older residents (65+) are predicted to rise from 21% in 2018 to 32% in 20 years.

Last year our economic contribution to the region was $2.3b, supporting 11,000 jobs. While these large economic figures get thrown around a lot, we are currently seeing the tangible impacts of a significant reduction in that economic contribution. We all have a role in ensuring New Zealand remains a safe place to live, work and visit. At Wellington Airport, we are doing everything we can to support safe travel and enable freight to continue flowing in and out of the country. Tourism is New Zealand’s biggest export earner, supporting 365,000 jobs. We are working hard with Government, the New Zealand Aviation Coalition and the Australia New Zealand Leaders Forum to help the industry recover. As one of the best short stay destinations in the country, the Wellington region will continue to play a significant role in both domestic and international tourism. Like the entire aviation industry, our passenger numbers and operations were severely impacted by Covid-19 at the tail end of the financial year.
