  • Tairāwhiti 2050 Shaping the Future of Our Region
    Te Kaunihera o Te Tairāwhiti Gisborne District Council TAIRĀWHITI 2050 SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR REGION TAIRĀWHITI REGIONAL SPATIAL PLAN Adopted by Gisborne District Council 2020 MŌ TĒNEI MĀHERE ABOUT THIS PLAN WHAT IS TAIRĀWHITI 2050 Tairāwhiti 2050 is Gisborne District Council’s vision for the region for the next 30 years. We call this our “spatial plan”, which is a document that: • states our region’s major challenges and how we’ll tackle them. • outlines our shared aspirations for our region’s future wellbeing and what we expect to achieve by 2050. • aligns the strategies and plans of Council, government agencies and other organisations to enable collaboration. • sets direction for regional planning and development, decision-making and investments. • maps out where critical infrastructure, transport connections and development will occur and where there are constraints. WHY WE NEED A SPATIAL PLAN The challenges and opportunities facing those who call Tairāwhiti home are complex and interconnected. How we as a community, plan and respond over the next 30 years will make a significant difference to future generations. Tairāwhiti does not have a stand-alone document that provides a clear and shared vision about what we want our region to look like in the future. Tairāwhiti 2050 therefore considers the current economic, social, environmental, physical and cultural trends so that integrated solutions are found to address the various challenges and opportunities for growth and change. No single organisation can respond alone, so region-wide collaboration is required. Together with communities and agencies we’ve created this plan to provide strategic direction in a way that considers social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing.

  • The Role of Mass-Movement in Shore Platform Development Along the Gisborne Coastline, New Zealand
    EARTH SCIENCE JOURNAL Vol. 2, No. 1, 1968 THE ROLE OF MASS-MOVEMENT IN SHORE PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE GISBORNE COASTLINE, NEW ZEALAND R. F. McLEAN University of Canterbury Christchurch C. F. DAVIDSON Karamu High School Hastings Abstract Tidal shore platforms form a conspicuous part of the coastal scenery north of Gisborne, New Zealand. Some of these platfoI1l1s are being extended landward under present-day conditions. Present widening results primarily from cliff-retreat by mass-movement. The coincidence in distribution of areas of wave convergence, mass-movement and shore platforms suggests a genetic connection between these marine and subaerial process and response elements. Various types of mass-movement are involved in cliff-retreat, notably slumps, flows, debris slides and soil and rock falls. While the products of such mass-movement forms are removed by wave action, extensive boulder fields on some shore platforms indicate that removal is not always complete. Not all of the shore platforms on this coast are being widened at present. Widening has ceased where active mass-movement is not occurring. INTRODUCTION Shore platforms are distinctive features of many erosional coastlines. They have been reported from many parts of the world and the English literature alone includes many papers about their description, formation and geomorphic interpreta- ation. Significant contributions to this literature have ~n made by workers around the Pacific region including California (Eniery~ " 1946; Shepard and Grant. 1947), Hawaii (Stearns, 1935), Japan (Mii. 1962), Australia (Jutson, 1939, 1940, 1950, 1954; Bird and Dent, 1966), and New Zealand (Bartrum, 1916, 1926, 1935. 1938; Gill, 1950; Wright, 1967).
