Councillor St Pierre / Councillor Thomas 7 PUBLIC FEEDBACK AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE DRAFT LAKE TE KOO UTU CONCEPT PLAN Reserves Planner, Tofeeq Ahmed and Senior Reserves Planner, Anna McElrea presented the report by way of PowerPoint presentation and answered questions of the Committee. 3 November 2020 Page 2 of 10 10508261 9 Strategic Planning & Policy Committee Agenda - 1 December 2020 - Confirmation of Minutes The draft Lake Te Koo Utu Concept Plan (draft plan) was approved by the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee on 5 May 2020 for public consultation. Individuals and organisations were able to provide feedback both online and via hard copy forms over an eight-week period from 18 May to 13 July 2020. The purpose of the staff report was to provide a summary of community feedback on the draft plan and to seek endorsement of staff’s recommended changes to the draft plan in response to the feedback received. The draft plan will then be presented to the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee for adoption in February 2021. A high level of interest was shown in the draft plan, with 220 forms of feedback received. The majority of the respondents were very supportive of the key components of the draft plan. Improving the water quality of the lake was a clear priority for the community; with high levels of support for the proposed initiatives to achieve this including the creation of a western lake wetland, the integration and enhancement of all outlets flowing into the lake, daylighting and riparian planting of piped waterways. There were also high levels of support for protecting and restoring all the heritage features, and restoring and enhancing the reserve banks through planting indigenous vegetation. Some concerns were raised that the proposed mārā hūpara play trail and the meeting place would detract from the natural beauty of the reserve, create additional parking demand and potentially create conflicts between visitors walking dogs and other users. Others noted the need to consider improving accessibility of the reserve and stormwater quality prior to it entering the lake. The staff report also summarised the findings of the investigation into the proposed flushing of the lake, and based on these findings, recommended retaining the proposed lake water quality improvement projects. The staging and prioritisation to implement the draft plan will largely be determined through the Waipā District Council 10 Year Plan 2021 – 2031 and subsequent budget processes, however, it is noted Council will also be seeking external funding to implement aspects of the draft plan. The staff recommendation was amended to include water quality improvement actions as set out in the concept plan and to investigate funding opportunities with the Waikato River Authority. RESOLVED 02/20/69 That the Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Committee: 3 November 2020 Page 3 of 10 10508261 10 Strategic Planning & Policy Committee Agenda - 1 December 2020 - Confirmation of Minutes a) RECEIVE the report titled ‘Public Feedback and staff recommendation on the Draft Lake Te Koo Utu Concept Plan’ from Tofeeq Ahmed, Reserves Planner (Doc ID Set 10468901); b) ENDORSE staff recommended changes to the draft Lake Te Koo Utu Concept Plan as set out in appendices 3 and 4 (Doc ID Set 10480114); and c) ENDORSE staff recommendation to not progress any further investigations into the option of flushing the lake to improve its water quality and to progress the water quality improvement actions set out in the concept plan; and d) INVESTIGATE funding opportunities with the Waikato River Authority Councillor Gordon / Councillor Thomas 8 CIVIL DEFENCE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT QUARTERLY REPORT Presented by Emergency Management Operations Manager, Dave Simes, the purpose of the report was to provide the Committee with a quarterly update on matters relating to civil defence emergency management (CDEM) in the Waipā District. This included matters arising at national, regional and district levels including emergency management activities under the shared service arrangement between Waipā, Ōtorohanga and Waitomo District Councils.

    Final Report on EQC Potential shallow seismic sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017 Vicki Moon & Willem de Lange School of Science University of Waikato 1. Introduction Following the exposure of a fault within a cutting in a new sub-division development in NE Hamilton, an initial investigation suggested the presence of 4 fault zones within the Hamilton Basin (Figure 1) that represented a potential hazard to infrastructure within the Basin. Hence, the overall aim of the proposal put to EQC was to refine the locations of four potentially active faults within the Hamilton Basin. To achieve this aim, two main phases of geophysical surveying were planned: 1. A seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River channel; and 2. Resistivity surveying to examine the sub- surface structure of identified fault zones. Additional MSc student projects, funded by Waikato Regional Council, were proposed to map the surface geology and geomorphology, and assess the liquefaction potential within the Hamilton Basin. During the course of the project, the initial earthworks Figure 1: Map of the four fault zones that were initially identified from geomorphology for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway and surface fault exposures, as presented in provided exposures of faults, which resulted in some the original proposal. modification of the project. 2. Methods The two main methodological approaches planned for this project were: 1. A high resolution CHIRP seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River within the Hamilton Basin. A previous study examining the stability of the river banks in response to fluctuating water levels (Wood, 2006) had obtained detailed data on the morphology of the river bed using multi-beam and single-beam echo sounders (MBES and SBES respectively), and side scan sonar.

  • Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING
    6. ‘At Every Bend a Chief, At Every Bend a Chief, Waikato of One Hundred Chiefs’: Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING Introduction At 425 kilometres, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, and a vital resource for the country (McCan 1990: 33–5). Officially beginning at Nukuhau near Taupo township, the river is fed by Lake Taupo and a number of smaller rivers and streams throughout its course. Running swiftly in a northwesterly direction, the river passes through many urban, forested and rural areas. Over the past 90 years, the Waikato River has been adversely impacted by dams built for hydro-electricity generation, by runoff and fertilisers associated with farming and forestry, and by the waste waters of several major industries and urban centres. At Huntly, north of Taupiri (see Figure 6.1), the river’s waters are further sullied when they are warmed during thermal electricity generation processes. For Māori, another major desecration of the Waikato River occurs when its waters are diverted and mixed with waters from other sources, so that they can be drunk by people living in Auckland. 137 Island Rivers Figure 6.1 A socio-political map of the Waikato River and catchment. Source: Created by Peter Quin, University of Auckland. As the Waikato River is an important natural resource, it has a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi1 claims by Māori for guardianship recognition and management and property rights.2 This process of claiming has culminated in a number of tribes 1 The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs in 1840.
