  • Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery
    part three Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery Description: Located on the edge of central Tauranga, Otamataha comprises the remnant headland known as Te Papa. Prior to the reclamation of Sulphur Point and Chapel Street, Otamataha formed the headland to this part of Tauranga. Historically a Pa for Ngati Maru, the site became the Mission Cemetery and contains the earliest Pakeha graves in Tauranga. The site holds significant historical values to the City and has been recognised as such in the recently adopted Historic Reserves Management Plan (December 2008). The landscape surrounding and within the landscape feature has been significantly altered through infrastructure and transit based development. The Tauranga bridge and associated roading connections extend around the periphery of the site, resulting in the loss of natural features and landform. To the south of the site the new Sebel Hotel complex sits immediately adjacent to the site, and screens much of the site’s edge from view from the CBD area. Significant landscape features of the site comprise the remnant pohutukawa along the seaward edge and a significant stand of exotic specimen trees. The raised cliff edge and vegetation cover extends above the water’s edge and the Sebel Hotel, creating visual connection between the site and central Tauranga. Core Values: • Moderate natural science values associated with the remaining geomorphological values. • Moderate representative values due to the location and vegetation patterns. • Moderate shared and recognised values at a City level. • High historical values due to its sigificant archaeological features and heritage values. • Moderate aesthetic values associated with vegetation patterns along the harbour edge.

  • Ben Davies, Water Network Planning Discipline Lead, MWH, Now Part of Stantec, Wellington
    GHOST HUNTING WATER NETWORK MODELLING TO FIND A PHANTOM BURST Ben Davies, Water Network Planning Discipline Lead, MWH, now part of Stantec, Wellington Abstract Between 24 and 26 January 2016, there was a sudden drop in both the Mangatawa and Mount Maunganui reservoirs, which feed the Coastal Strip water supply network in Tauranga. The system was already at peak summer demand, and the drop in reservoir levels equated to a further 100 l/s demand on the network. The Coastal Strip network includes Tauranga’s heavy industrial area, along with the Port of Tauranga. The idea of this area going dry would give any water network manager nightmares. As the reservoir levels continued to drop, the water model was used to confirm stop-gap operational measures, which were then put in place to stop the network going dry. The unknown demand slowly disappeared over the next couple of days, and system operation returned to normal. Although the immediate danger appeared to be over, the cause of this large temporary drain on the network remained unknown, and there was a risk it could occur again at any time. MWH and TCC have worked together for a number of years to develop a good operational water model. Once the dust had settled, TCC asked MWH to undertake an analysis using the hydraulic water network model to look at the event in detail. This paper outlines how innovative water modelling techniques and collaboration between TCC and MWH were used to find the 100 l/s ghost, and restore the resilience of the Coastal Strip water network.

  • Metroport Inland Port, New Zealand
    39 5 MetroPort Inland Port, New Zealand 5.1 Port of Tauranga 5.1.1 Ownership structure, location and history The Port of Tauranga, situated at Mount Maunganui on New Zealand’s North Island, emerged in the mid 1950s, mainly servicing the fledgling log export industry. As time has passed, the port has also played a major role in the export of locally produced dairy products and fruit. Much of this business was in conventional ships until the creation of the Sulphur Point container facility in the mid 1990s, when a two crane facility was opened. Its position near Auckland means Tauranga is the second largest container handling port in the country, with recent growth occurring as a result of decisions by shipping companies to use its intermodal MetroPort facility and a policy change by the dairy industry to use ports that are near to the product source. The port is quoted on the NZ Stock Exchange, with 45 per cent of its shares publicly tradable. The remainder are held by a local regional council under a nominee company.
