The key hazards in Bland Bay/Whanagruru • Major Storms • Flooding • Tsunami • Rural Fire Major storms Major storms affect wide areas and can be accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, thunder, lightning, tornadoes and rough seas. They can cause damage to property and infrastructure, affect crops and livestock, disrupt essential services, and cause coastal inundation. Severe weather watches and warnings are issued by the MetService and available through the broadcast media, by email alerts, and online at www.metservice.co.nz Flooding Floods can cause injury and loss of life, damage to property and Floods are usually caused by continuous heavy rain or infrastructure, loss of stock, and contamination of water and thunderstorms but can also result from tsunami and coastal land. storm inundation. A flood becomes dangerous if: • the water is very deep or travelling very fast • the floods have risen very quickly • the floodwater contains debris, such as trees and sheets of corrugated iron. Getting ready before a flood strikes will help reduce damage to your home and business and help you survive. 3 get ready... Tsunami Know the natural New Zealand’s entire coast is at risk of tsunami.

Know your tsunami evacuation zones See the map on page 13 Flooding Rural fire Although there are many benefits to living in the country, rural property owners face a higher risk of fire than city dwellers. If a fire starts it may not be detected as quickly and emergency services take longer to respond because of greater travel distances.

Consequently there are relatively few graded 1. Many bays are exposed to the Ocean and are thus generally unsuitable as overnight anchorages. They may however still be popular daytime anchorages with boats returning to more sheltered waters over night. Several bays have more than one name. Where we have identified them the extra names have been included but there are probably several bays whose alternative names have not been included. Every bay has been given a grading 1-3. These classifications are as follows-: 1 = Infrequently used as an anchorage either because of poor shelter, overcrowding moorings or better anchorages nearby. 2 = Popular anchorage – this could vary from a few boats in a small bay to many boats in a larger one. 3 = Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather – usually also popular in times of lighter winds of appropriate direction 3*= Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather but particularly popular as an anchorage.

  • Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds
    Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds Name/Area: Ngunguru Estuary Summary: The Ngunguru Estuary is a small estuary situated to the north-east of Whangarei Harbour. It has very small areas of tidal flat, but well buffered edges comprising mangroves, saltmarsh and adjacent shrubland and some exotic forestry. There is a little-modified sandspit at the entrance flanked by shrubland and forest linking south with Horahora Estuary, while a residential area (Ngunguru) lies on the northern side of the estuary. Low numbers of several threatened species frequent or visit the estuary mainly for feeding (refer Table below). The sandspit provides breeding habitat for northern NZ dotterel and variable oystercatcher and roosting flocks of several species. There are important populations of fernbirds, banded rails, crakes and Australasian bitterns in this area as well as recovering numbers of pateke (brown teal). The ecological significance of this estuary is High given the importance of the sandspit and the habitat sequences through to freshwater wetlands which collectively support many threatened and at risk species.

    Ecologically Significant Marine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds Name/Area: East Coast: Taiharuru Head to Cape Brett, excluding estuaries (Taiharuru, Pataua, Horahora, Ngunguru, Matapouri, Whananaki, Whangaruru) Summary: This area consists of some saltmarsh areas, sandy beaches and dunelands, coastal forested headlands and island groups and islets. Australasian bittern, banded rail, fernbird and spotless crake are present in swamp/ saltmarsh areas, probably in low numbers. NZ dotterel and variable oystercatcher are present on beaches, stream mouths and islands and breeding in some locations. Pied stilt, red-billed gull, banded dotterel, white-fronted and Caspian tern are also present on beaches and/or stream mouths. Reef heron have been recorded along the coast and breeding on Motutara Island. White heron have been recorded as a regular visitor in a few locations. Pateke (brown teal) utilise stream mouths and other wet and grassy areas, particularly around Mimiwhangata, Pareparea Bay, Helena Bay and others. Around the headlands and islands there are pied and little shag colonies. Black shag breed on Rimariki Islands, along with blue penguin, red-billed gull, and grey-faced petrel.

    Wai 1040, #A61 ‘Fallen Plumage’: A history of Puhipuhi, 1865-2015 Mark Derby A report commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal Te Paparahi o Te Raki inquiry (Wai 1040) August 2016 Mark Derby, Fallen Plumage’: A History of Puhipuhi, 1865 – 2015 A The Author Tēnā koutou. My name is Mark Derby. I am a Pākehā of Irish descent, living in Wellington. I hold a Masters in New Zealand Studies, with honours in history and te reo Māori, awarded ‘with distinction’ by the Stout Centre for New Zealand Studies, Victoria University of Wellington. My thesis examined the 1916 arrest of Rua Kēnana by Police Commissioner John Cullen, who was formerly superintendent of the North Auckland police district, in which the Puhipuhi blocks lie. This was later published as The Prophet and the Policeman: the story of Rua Kenana and John Cullen (Nelson: Craig Potton, 2009). I was employed at the Waitangi Tribunal as a researcher and claims facilitator from 2003 to 2007. During that time I completed a commissioned scoping report, ‘‘Undisturbed Possession’ – Te Tiriti o Waitangi and East Coast Maori, 1840 – 1865’ (Wai 900, #A11). I have also worked for the Ministry for Culture and Heritage as a writer on Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand and have published widely on historical issues, both in this country and overseas.1 My research has also appeared in the form of conference papers and peer-reviewed journal articles, and contributions to films, TV series and museum exhibitions on New Zealand history.2 Each of these projects has drawn extensively on unpublished archival as well as secondary research sources.

  • Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds
    Significant Ecological Estuarine Area Assessment Sheet for Wading and Aquatic Birds Name/Area: Matapouri Estuary Summary: The Matapouri Estuary is a very small estuary situated to the north of Tutukaka. It has well-buffered edges comprising mangroves, saltmarsh and adjacent shrubland and some exotic forestry. There is a residential area (Matapouri) on the eastern side of the estuary. Very low numbers of several threatened species frequent or visit the estuary mainly for feeding (refer Table below). The more significant species populations are those of Australasian bittern, fernbird, banded rail and pateke, the last of which is recovering in the catchment following intensive pest control. The ecological significance of this estuary is Moderate given the small size, but local importance to some species, and this should be reviewed in future in recognition of ongoing management.
