  • Border Report – Port of Tauranga and Rotorua Airport August 2013
    Border Report – Port of Tauranga and Rotorua Airport August 2013 Purpose A preliminary report to understand the level of risk the Port of Tauranga (POT) and Rotorua Airport present to the Bay of Plenty kiwifruit industry with the intent of determining if the current level of protection is adequate. Background Biosecurity in New Zealand consists of a multi –layer system that begins offshore with pre-border activities, incorporates the border and continues post-border into New Zealand where it becomes a joint effort between central government, regional councils, industry, community groups, and all New Zealanders, (a paper describing this system in more detail can be found on the KVH website www.kvh.org.nz/kiwifruit_biosecurity_risks). This paper will review a single layer, border interventions at ports of entry. Any port of entry has the potential to bring unwanted pests and diseases into New Zealand that could be detrimental to the kiwifruit industry, however, given the high concentration of the kiwifruit industry in the Bay of Plenty, this report has focused on the ports of entry in the immediate proximity to this region, which are the Port of Tauranga and the Rotorua Airport. The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand’s second largest port by container volume, and a major stop on the cruise ship circuit. Rotorua Airport is an International Airport receiving two trans-Tasman flights a week. Imports into POT, cruise ships, and passenger traffic through Rotorua Airport are all potential pathways for risk items to enter New Zealand and each will be reviewed to provide an overview of operations, potential risks that each present and how these risks are being mitigated.

  • Case Study: New Zealand
    Case Study: New Zealand Background Because of its geographic location, its dependence on tourism, and the absence of a comprehensive rail network, New Zealand has developed a large international and national airports network over the years. Until 1966, almost all New Zealand important airports were developed by the State and remained under the central Government ownership and management. There are three main international airports. First, Auckland Airport is the busiest and the main international airport. It is the only airport serving the Auckland metropolitan area, which gathers a third of the country’s total population. Second, Wellington International Airport is also a major domestic hub serving mainly business and government. International flights at Wellington Airport are principally from/to Australia. Third, Christchurch International Airport is the major international airport in the South Island, where it acts as the main hub and attracts a significant share of New Zealand’s international tourist traffic. There are other international airports in New Zealand, such as Dunedin, Hamilton, Queenstown, and Palmerston North, which also get flights from other countries (mainly Australia). Other commercial airports serve domestic and regional traffic. Commercialization/privatization: Airports The commercialization of New Zealand’s airports started early. First, the 1961 Joint Airport Scheme established the principles that resulted in both central and local governments jointly owning and operating airport facilities. The objective of this policy was both to benefit from the expertise of local governments on regional economic needs and opportunities, and to make local government directly invest in airport infrastructure. In 1974, 24 airports throughout New Zealand were under a joint venture ownership.

  • Osborne Evidence
    IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER of Proposed Plan Change 19 (Frankton Flats Special Zone B) to the Queenstown Lakes District Plan. STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE OF GREGORY JOHN OSBORNE INTRODUCTION 1. My full name is Gregory John Osborne. I am a Director of Osborne Hay (South) Limited, a Planning and Resource Management Consultancy practice based in Auckland. 2. I have the qualification of Bachelor of Town Planning obtained from Auckland University in 1979 and I have been a full member of the New Zealand Planning Institute since 1984. 3. I have worked as a planner in local government and private practice since 1979 and during that period I have had extensive experience in district and regional plan preparation and the preparation and processing of resource consent applications and notices of requirement for designations. 4. In recent years I have also developed significant experience in resource management and planning processes related to the District Plan controls on aircraft noise and related land use controls on activities sensitive to aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports. 5. In particular, I facilitated the mediated settlement of a range of appeals on behalf of Manukau City Council in relation to the provisions of the Manukau District Plan relating to Auckland International Airport. That work involved drafting district plan rules which ultimately formed the basis of the Environment Court consent order. 1 6. Subsequently, I have provided planning advice to Auckland International Airport Limited over a number of years and I gave evidence to the Environment Court in the case Independent News Auckland Limited and Auckland International Airport Limited v Manukau City Council1 in which the key issue was reverse sensitivity to aircraft noise.

Aotearoa/New Zealand +64 (0)4 905 2923 www.hikurangi.org.nz The Hikurangi Foundation is made possible by: The Tindall Foundation The Todd Foundation Disclaimer: The purpose of this report is to promote discussion and positive action. The views in this report are not necessarily the policy of the Hikurangi Foundation. 3 Foreword Hikurangi is about enabling action for a better way of life for New Zealanders. We would like to see a prosperous economy and strong society underpinned by a thriving environment. Climate change is an extremely serious threat to all of these things. But it can be tackled. In fact, acting on climate change and sustainable development is probably the only way businesses and communities will prosper in the long run. But we need forward-thinking action, now. We see the Tourism sector as critical, particularly domestic tourism, but we wanted to know more about the potential contribution to the solution that it could make. That’s why we commissioned this work to help us understand the carbon footprint of domestic tourism in New Zealand. Recent events and trends in the sector point to a potentially greater dependence on local tourism, but with its comparatively high carbon footprint (as this research reveals) this could be problematic for New Zealand.
