    WEST COAST CRIMSON TRAIL The West Coast is the rata capital of New Zealand. In the North, from the Heaphy Track to Greymouth, northern rata often dominates the forest landscape, mainly near the coast and on limestone faces.

  • Notification of Access Arrangement for MP 41279, Mt Te Kuha
    Attachment C Draft Terrestrial Ecology Report 106 VEGETATION AND FAUNA OF THE PROPOSED TE KUHA MINE SITE Prepared for Te Kuha Limited Partnership October 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Te Kuha mining permit is located predominantly within the Westport Water Conservation Reserve (1,825 ha), which is a local purpose reserve administered by the Buller District Council. The coal deposit is situated outside the water catchment within an area of approximately 490 ha of Brunner Coal Measures vegetation approximately 5 km southwest of Mt Rochfort. Access would be required across conservation land to reach the coal resource. The Te Kuha site was recommended as an area for protection by the Protected Natural Areas Programme surveys in the 1990s on the basis that in the event it was removed from the local purpose reserve for any reason, addition to the public conservation estate would increase the level of protection of coal measures habitats which, although found elsewhere (principally in the Mt Rochfort Conservation Area), were considered inadequately protected overall. The proposal to create an access road and an opencast mine at the site would affect twelve different vegetation types to varying degrees. The habitats present at the proposed mine site are overwhelmingly indigenous and have a very high degree of intactness reflecting their lack of human disturbance. Previous surveys have shown that some trees in the area are more than 500 years old. Habitats affected by the proposed access road are less intact and include exotic pasture as well as regenerating shrubland and forest. Te Kuha is not part of the Department of Conservation’s Buller Coal Plateaux priority site and is unlikely to receive management for that reason.
