  • CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips
    CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips South-eastern Southland fieldtrip 19th March 2020 Welcome and overview of the day. Invercargill to Gorge Road We are travelling on the Southern Scenic Route from Invercargill to the Catlins. Tisbury Old Dairy Factory – up to 88 around Southland We will be driving roughly along the boundary between the Southland Plains and Waituna Ecological Districts. The Southland Plains ED is characterized by a variety of forest on loam soils, while the Waituna District is characterized by extensive blanket bog with swamps and forest. Seaward Forest is located near the eastern edge of Invercargill to the north of our route today. It is the largest remnant of a large forest stand that extended from current day Invercargill to Gorge Road before European settlement and forest clearance. Long our route to Gorge Road we will see several other smaller forest remnants. The extent of Seaward forest is shown in compiled survey plans of Theophilus Heale from 1868. However even the 1865 extent of the forest is much reduced from the original pre-Maori forest extent. Almost all of Southland was originally forest covered with the exception of peat bogs, other valley floor wetlands, braided river beds and the occasional frost hollows. The land use has changed in this area over the previous 20 years with greater intensification and also with an increase in dairy farming. Surrounding features Takitimus Mtns – Inland (to the left) in the distance (slightly behind us) – This mountain range is one of the most iconic mountains in Southland – they are visible from much of Southland.

  • FROM POTHOLES to POLICY: How Invercargill City Council Informs Itself Of, and Has Regard To, the Views of All of Its Communities
    FROM POTHOLES TO POLICY: How Invercargill City Council informs itself of, and has regard to, the views of all of its communities Janette Malcolm School of Geography, E nvironment and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, ew Zealand Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of D evelopment Studies D egree JULY 2008 Abstract In the 1990s, governments in the Western world were seeking solutions to the economic and social dysfunction resulting from a decade of pure neo-liberal policies. Increased inequalities in the distribution of wealth, the promotion of individualism at the expense of community and citizens feeling alienated from government had become critical problems, nowhere more so than in New Zealand. A solution that has been adopted is to reconnect government at all levels with citizens and the civic sector. The good governance agenda proposed increased transparency and accountability of government to citizens, and a new role for citizens as participants and partners. It became the foundation for a fundamental reform of local government in New Zealand, resulting in the Local Government Act 2002. However, the acquisition of a right to participate does not necessarily lead to knowledge of that right and the capacity to exercise it on the part of citizens: nor the willingness to allow it on the part of government. There are also more general questions about the exercise of power, about representation and about whose voices are heard. This thesis, through a case study of Invercargill City Council, a local government authority in Southland, New Zealand, examines these issues relating to citizen participation and the extent to which the Council has been able to create an environment and processes that enable all of its communities to participate.

    2010 AnnuA l RepoRt Invercargill Licensing Trust | ILT Foundation Annual General Meeting Elmwood Garden | 7 September 2010, 7.30pm 2010 Highlights Invercargill Licensing Trust | ILT Foundation at a glance Photo courtesy of The Southland Times • $10.428 million in grants returned to our community - $52 million in the last five years. • Managing the business through a full year of economic recession – consolidated (group) after-tax profit, before grants, was $11.223 million – down 3.8% on last year, but a very satisfactory result. • Invercargill Licensing Trust (Parent) after-tax profit, before grants, was 3.4% down on last year’s performance. • The ILT Foundation, for the 2008/09 year, returned the highest proportion of gaming income in grants to its community than any Photo courtesy of The Southland Times other gaming society in NZ. With the ratio from this past year exceeding the previous year’s level, it is very likely that we will have again achieved this notable position. The ILT Foundation profit, before grants, was down 16% on last year. • Our longstanding policy of re-investing in the Trust’s businesses continued in earnest throughout the year. Over $7 million was invested into several upgrades and new developments. • Planning for a rebuild of the Northern Tavern was completed by year end.

  • Potential Impacts of Vehicle Traffic on Recruitment of Toheroa (Paphies Ventricosa) on Oreti Beach, Southland, New Zealand
    Impact of vehicles on recruitment of toheroa on Oreti Beach, Southland, New Zealand A report to Te Ao Mārama, Environment Southland, Invercargill City Council and Department of Conservation Ecosystems Consultants Report Number 2014/02 December 2014 Suggested citation for this report: Moller JA, Garden C, Moller SI, Beentjes M, Skerrett M, Scott D, Stirling FF, Moller JS, Moller H (2014).

Michael Skerrett: Te Ao Mārama, PO Box 7017, Invercargill. ii Executive Summary The Oreti Beach population of toheroa are of national conservation importance because of their outlying and limited distribution, long-term declines of both northern and southern populations, general degradation of marine ecosystem health, and the importance of toheroa as a customary food of Māori. Crushing of juveniles by vehicle traffic has been mooted as a potential threat to toheroa recruitment, but reliable scientific measures of its putative importance are lacking.

  • Splash Palace Business Case & Impact Assessment
    SPLASH PALACE BUSINESS CASE & IMPACT ASSESSMENT BUSINESS CASE EVALUATION FOR ESTABLISHING A FITNESS GYM AT SPLASH PALACE AND THE ANTICIPATED IMPACT ON EXISTING PROVIDERS APRIL 2016 Impact Consulting & Accounting | www.impactconsulting.co.nz | April 2016 1 Contact Details: Impact Consulting & Accounting Ltd (03) 477 8777 www.impactconsulting.co.nz [email protected] Impact Consulting & Accounting | www.impactconsulting.co.nz | April 2016 2 1 Executive Summary Invercargill City Council has a number of aspirational goals for their community as a whole. Two core objectives of a healthy vibrant community, are more people being active, with facilities that meet the needs of the community. With a view towards developing and maintain facilities infrastructure as economically as possible, this report addresses the viability of including a fitness gym as part of a wider pool foyer and changing room upgrade, and assesses the impact on existing fitness gym providers. The pool gym will have a focus on entry level programmes, rather than the level of specialist services offered by existing facilities. The brief given for this project requested an impartial assessment of the impact of the proposed gym facility on existing business. BUSINESS CASE From a financial and demand perspective this project is deemed viable. Without the proposed gym, the much needed redevelopment pool changing and reception facilities would cost $1.34M and would be entirely rate payer funded. Inclusion of the proposed gym would increase the project capital cost to $2.14M and is projected to enable the project as a whole to be rates-neutral or self-funding. Research indicates there is sufficient demand to ensure that the proposed facility will cover operational costs, as well as the debt servicing for the redevelopment.
