Introduction The Waitohu Stream, flowing from the Tararua Ranges to the Tasman Sea just north of Otaki (Figure 1), is a dynamic stream with a history of flooding and erosion problems. It has a catchment of 54km2 and the steepest average slope of the Kapiti Coast rivers (WRC, 1994). Under the mandate of the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941, erosion and flood mitigation work has been undertaken in the Waitohu Stream by the Flood Protection Group of Greater Wellington (the Wellington Regional Council) and its predecessor authorities (most notably, the Manawatu Catchment Board prior to 1989) since the inception of the Otaki Scheme in 1955.

  • Waikanae Estuary
    Where the wild things are Waikanae Estuary Facilities Parking Swimming Toilets Bird watching Pram accessible Picnic table (but only trail buggy) Walking tracks Dog walking (on leash) Highlight More species of coastal and aquatic birds, including a large number of migratory species, visit Waikanae Estuary than any other site on the Wellington coast. Stroll the tracks and see how many birds you can identify! Description, values & signif icance At Waikanae Estuary freshwater from the Tararua Ranges meets the sea. This mixing of the waters and the ever-shifting river mouth creates an environment sustaining rich plant and animal communities. The estuary provides an important habitat for birds, aquatic plants and is an important breeding ground and nursery for both fresh water and marine fish species. Waikanae Estuary is a nationally significant reserve and restoration work by a dedicated care group continually improves it. Accessibility/How to get there/particular time of year to visit Waikanae Estuary is located between Paraparaumu and Waikanae on the Kāpiti coast north of Wellington. The main entry points into the Waikanae Estuary Scientific Reserve are on Manly St North, Paraparaumu Beach. One track leads out onto the seaward side of the lagoon and the other follows the inland side of the estuary. Whitebait fishing is permitted in the reserve by a gazette notice, from 15August and 30 November (inclusive). Threatened species/species of interest The mosaic of tidal sand flats, sand dunes, salt marshes and lakelets provide a home for vulnerable plants such as two regionally rare carex species and carpets of remuremu (Selliera radicans) growing in the firm mud of the estuary.

  • Attachment Annual Plan 2020/21
    Annual Plan 2020/21 Toitū Kāpiti Year three of our Long Term Plan 2018-38 About our annual plan Our Annual Plan sets out for our community the activities we intend to undertake in that year. Kapiti Coast District Council has broad responsibilities required by law and we provide a range of services to the Kāpiti community. To direct our activities effectively and ensure we manage our budget and ratepayers’ money responsibly, we work to clear priorities and detailed plans. Long Term Plan sets direction and some small budget adjustments. These changes are highlighted in the Our activities and services section (pages The Annual Plan reflects COVID-19 impacts Our overarching plan is the long term plan (LTP). Currently 23-35). and includes recovery support initiatives we are working within our Toitū Kāpiti Long Term Plan 2018-38 which we adopted in June 2018 after extensive Annual Plan focuses on informing community The extent of the impacts of COVID-19 became apparent as engagement and consultation. The content of this annual plan complies with the Local Council was developing the draft Annual Plan. As soon as Our LTP describes the Council’s vision for the district for 20 Government Act 2002, which aims to make annual plans Council became aware of how significant the pandemic was years with a focus on the first three years. It outlines the more user friendly and accessible. and the likely long term effects, we decided to review the service levels and activities we provide, major work The legislation requires that annual plans only include draft plan.

  • 2018: New Zealand's Equal-2Nd Warmest Year on Record
    New Zealand Climate Summary: 2018 Issued: 8 January 2019 2018: New Zealand’s equal-2nd warmest year on record Temperature Annual temperatures were above average (+0.51°C to +1.20°C above the annual average) across the majority of New Zealand, including much of the North Island as well as the western and southern South Island. A small strip of well above average (>1.20°C from average) temperatures were observed in southern Manawatu-Whanganui. Elsewhere, near average (within -0.50°C to +0.50°C of average) temperatures occurred in parts of southern Canterbury, Otago, small parts of Auckland and the Far North. 2018 was the equal 2nd-warmest year on record for New Zealand, based on NIWA’s seven- station series which began in 1909. Rainfall Yearly rainfall in 2018 was above normal (120-149% of the annual normal) across much of the eastern and upper South Island, as well as parts of Wellington, Wairarapa, Bay of Plenty, northern Waikato, and Auckland. Well above normal rainfall (>149% of normal) was observed in portions of southern Canterbury. Rainfall was near normal (80-119% of normal) for the remainder of New Zealand. Soil moisture 2018 began with below or well below normal soil moisture nearly nationwide, but soil moisture in the North Island and upper South Island gradually increased during January. Widespread heavy rainfall from ex-tropical cyclones Fehi and Gita during February resulted in well above normal soil moisture across most of New Zealand. Near to above normal soil moisture persisted through autumn, with near normal soil moisture widespread during the winter.

  • Part C.10 Landscapes for List of Outstanding Landscapes and the Planning Maps)
    APPENDIX 3 Operative Kāpiti Coast District Plan Objectives and Policies Proposed Kāpiti Coast District Plan Objectives and Policies S149(G)3 Key Issues Report – Kāpiti Coast District Council C.1: RESIDENTIAL ZONE C.1 RESIDENTIAL ZONE Over 90% of the district's population live on less than 4% of the land. This land comprises the residential environment. To accommodate this population there has been considerable investment made in buildings, services (water, gas, wastewater disposal) roading and amenity facilities (shops and schools). This represents a significant physical resource which needs to be managed to enable people and communities to meet their needs and to minimise any adverse effects of activities on both the natural and physical environment. The management of this resource can be achieved within the District Plan through controls in the design of subdivision, use and development. The objectives and policies set out below in C.1.1 are intended to address the significant resource management issues identified in B.2. The related subdivision and development issues in B.8 are addressed in C.7. C.1.1 Objectives & Policies OBJECTIVE 1.0 - GENERAL ENSURE THAT THE LOW DENSITY, QUIET CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT’S RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS IS MAINTAINED AND THAT ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE AMENITY VALUES THAT CONSTITUTE THIS CHARACTER AND MAKE THE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS SAFE, PLEASANT AND HEALTHY PLACES FOR RESIDENTS ARE AVOIDED, REMEDIED OR MITIGATED. The residential environments within the Kapiti Coast District generally have a low density character, typified by low building heights and density and a high proportion of public and private open space.

The general approach to hydrology, yield and demand modelling for the Waikanae River seems reasonable. It seems unlikely that the proposed activity will result in significant changes to the Waikanae River flow regime (over and above effects that are already occurring under the existing borefield and river abstraction consents). However, I have some reservations about the lack of account for climate change and think there needs to be a fuller discussion from the applicant about the basis and justification for this; a discussion that should be in the context of overall planning principles adopted by the applicant across a range of projects.
