Draft Heritage Strategy Discussion Document DRAFT HERITAGE STRATEGY DISCUSSION DOCUMENT THE PROTECTION & MANAGEMENT OF HERITAGE FEATURES KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL 2 Heritage Strategy – Comparison of Regulatory & Non -regulatoryincentivess EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CHAPTER 1: Introduction § One of the functions of the Kapiti Coast District Council under the Resource Management Act and the Historic Places Act is to identify, protect and manage heritage features. § Voluntary and pro-active approaches to heritage management fosters greater co-operation from landowners. § Voluntary and pro-active approaches to heritage management include rates relief, provision of funds & services, education & awards and property right incentives. § This report and associated consultation exercise forms part of the analysis process which precedes any plan change procedure. The Council wishes to provide further informal opportunities for public submissions at this stage. CHAPTER 2: Existing Regulatory Incentives Used by KCDC § Regulatory incentives for heritage protection generally are implemented through the District Plan and include rules, general zones, subdivisional zones, designations, precinct areas, and a heritage register. Non- compliance with the District Plan can result in legal action including instant fines. § The resource consent process assists in the management and protection of heritage management by ensuring development and subdivision meet the objectives and policies for that zone. § There are over 304 heritage features listed in the Heritage Register of the District Plan. and § There are 17 esplanade reserves within the Kapiti Coast District. CHAPTER 3: Existing Non-regulatory Incentives Used by KCDC § The District Plan lists a range of non-regulatory incentives as a way of achieving its objectives and policies in relation to heritage management. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION DOCUMENT KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL 3 Heritage Strategy – Comparison of Regulatory & Non -regulatoryincentivess EXECUTIVE SUMMARY § Currently Kapiti Coast District Council provides rates relief to landowners with a Queen Elizabeth II covenant/s on their property. There are 8 registered QEII covenants and 3 under action within the Kapiti Coast District § The Kapiti Coast has 13 heritage areas protected by a Conservation Covenant. § There are over 440 reserves in the Kapiti Coast District, most of which are local purpose or recreation reserves. § There are 41 sites that have a consent notice protecting a heritage feature in the Kapiti Coast District. § There are two waahi tapu areas protected under the Historic Places Act located in the Kapiti Coast District. § Many of the sites listed above are recorded on the District Plans maps and within the District Plan Heritage Register. § Kapiti Coast District Council has just published a Native Plant Guide for the area and there are opportunities to increase the coverage of this guide. CHAPTER 4: Regulatory Incentives Employed by Other Councils § Buffer Areas are sensitive areas that surround a heritage feature. § While there are objectives and policies in the District Plan relating to buffer areas, there are no rules restricting activities in those areas in the first instance. Those objectives and policies can only be considered once a resource consent has been received by Council. § There are no rules in the District Plan restricting activities in an outstanding landscape with the exception of farm tracks. Outstanding landscapes are only given consideration if a resource consent is received within such an area. § Buffer areas and the protection of outstanding landscapes can be protected in the District Plan through the introduction of new rules which would restrict activities within a certain distance of that heritage feature or outstanding landscape. § Heritage Orders means a provision made in the District Plan to give effect to a ‘requirement to protect a heritage feature’ made by a heritage protection agency. The Crown, Historic Places Trust, a territorial authority, iwi authority or other approved heritage protection agencies may seek a ______________________________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION DOCUMENT KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL 4 Heritage Strategy – Comparison of Regulatory & Non -regulatoryincentivess EXECUTIVE SUMMARY requirement for a heritage order. The District Council must notify a requirement for a heritage order and a resolution must be passed before the order is included in the District Plan. § A heritage order can significantly curtail private property rights, and if an order is shown to render the land incapable of reasonable use, the heritage protection agency responsible for putting forward the requirement could be required by the Environment Court to either seek the removal of the provision from the District Plan or purchase the land. CHAPTER 5: Other Non-Regulatory Incentives § There is a range of non-regulatory protection measures that Kapiti Coast District Council could implement including: assisting in the provision of land management plans, granting subdivision rights, providing for transferable development rights, giving rates relief, provision of funds and services, land acquisition policy, and establishing an education and environmental awards campaign. § Compliance with conditions of land management plans could be linked to the provision of rates relief or other financial assistance. § Creation of smaller lots in the rural zone can be permitted where a large natural heritage feature is protected. Other heritage protection incentives determined at the time of a subdivision include requiring reserve land instead of cash or obtaining esplanade reserves. Council needs to develop a reserve policy with heritage protection and management as one of its objectives. § Transferable development rights are more complicated than relaxing the subdivision rules as the option above denotes. They provide for the protection of a heritage feature in return for the right to subdivide a lot in another area. This type of incentive requires further research as effects resulting from subdivision or development can be transferred to other sensitive environments. § Council is currently granting rates relief to landowners with a QEII covenant over their land. This can be extended to other protected heritage features. Rates relief may be ineffective on its own as a conservation method if the amount of rates relief is minimal. § The establishment of a heritage fund could assist in providing works such as legal protection, stock proof fencing, weed or pest control or restoration work. It could also assist in meeting the costs of consents or provide monetary contributions for other maintenance programs. A heritage fund could be run in conjunction with the Wellington Regional Council. One ______________________________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION DOCUMENT KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL 5 Heritage Strategy – Comparison of Regulatory & Non -regulatoryincentivess EXECUTIVE SUMMARY other option is to establish an independent trust fund that could apply as an independent body for funds. § The establishment of an education campaign in conjunction with an award system. This would be carried out alongside the provision of other incentives for heritage protection and management. CHAPTER 6: Comparative Incentives Used by Other Councils § Out of the 22 Council’s surveyed, 63% of them provide grants or subsidies towards the protection and management of heritage features. In fact grants and subsidies are the most popular non-regulatory method employed. § Rates relief and education and information dissemination was the next most popular incentive provided. § Special subdivision rights are employed by a surprisingly high number of Councils surveyed given the complications involved. Out of 22 Councils, 27% of them utilised these incentives in their District Plan. Note that this does not include ‘transferable development rights’ which did not feature strongly in this survey. § Land acquisition, waiving consent fees and public recognition awards were poorly represented. CHAPTER 7: Conclusion This report concludes by summarising the key points of the report and highlighting the most important options for consideration which are: § Buffer areas, including giving increased protection to outstanding landscapes. § Subdivision rights. § Rates relief. § A heritage fund, that amongst other things can assist in contributing towards consent fees. and § An education campaign and environmental award system. The report’s conclusion emphasises that nothing at all has been decided yet and the Council seeks community input before firming up its views on these important issues surrounding heritage management and protection. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ DISCUSSION DOCUMENT KAPITI COAST DISTRICT COUNCIL 6 Heritage Strategy – Comparison of Regulatory & Non -regulatoryincentivess TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION 8 1.1 Objective 8 1.2 General 8 1.3 A Definition of Heritage 10 1.4 Why Protect or Preserve The District’s Heritage? 11 PART ONE 14 EXISTING INCENTIVES USED BY KCDC IN HERITAGE PROTECTION 14 2.

  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years.

Otorohanga District Council vision. p7 A Candidate’s Guide to the Otorohanga District | 2 Background Aotea The Otorohanga District is part of the King Country region, known by Māori as ‘Te Rohe Potae’ - “The Area of the Hat.” It extends along the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island from Mount Pirongia in the north to the coastal town of Kawhia in the south and stretches inland to Pureora Forest Park and the Waikato River. The Otorohanga District is located 50 kilometres south of Hamilton. The area governed by the Council covers 1976 square kilometres and extends from the Kawhia and Aotea Harbours on the west coast for a distance of 90 km to the eastern extremity on the Waikato River near Mangakino. Included within the District are the urban communities of Otorohanga, Kawhia and Aotea. The eastern and western areas have predominantly more hills than the central area, which forms the southern limit of the Waikato Basin. Otorohanga is centrally placed, being within an easy driving distance of Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo and New Plymouth. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture, with sheep, beef and dairy farming being the principle activities. The town has a population of approximately 3000 and is a service centre for the surrounding rural areas. Otorohanga is the closest town to the world-famous glow worm caves at Waitomo, which generate significant tourist traffic.

Ko te kotahitanga te waka e kawe nei te oranga mō ngā whānau, mō ngā hapū, mō ngā iwi. Poipoia te rangatahi, ka puta, ka ora. The name ‘Tuia’ is derived from a tauparapara (Māori proverbial saying) that is hundreds of years old. This saying recognises and explains the potential that lies within meaningful connections to: the past, present and future; to self; and to people, place and environment. The word ‘Tuia’ means to weave and when people are woven together well, their collective contribution has a greater positive impact on community. We as a rangatahi (youth) leadership programme look to embody this by connecting young Māori from across Aotearoa/New Zealand - connecting passions, aspirations and dreams of rangatahi to serve our communities well. 1 Tuia Overview Tuia is an intentional, long-term, intergenerational approach to develop and enhance the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. We look to build a network for rangatahi to help support them in their contribution to their communities.

    Kāpiti Island Gateway Centre Feasibility Study Final Report 5th floor Aviation House 12 Johnston Street P O Box 2515 Draft Wellington 6140 New Zealand 1 30 October 2013 Prepared for: Kāpiti Coast District Council and Department of Conservation P: 64 4 472 3114 F: 64 4 473 0020 E: [email protected] www.trctourism.com Executive Summary This report presents findings from a preliminary feasibility study into a proposed Gateway Visitor Centre for Kapiti Island. The Kāpiti Coast District Council and the Department of Conservation commissioned the study. A consulting team comprising TRC Tourism Ltd, Destination Planning Ltd and Pynenburg and Collins Architects Ltd undertook the work between May and September 2013. A Kāpiti Island Gateway Committee made up of iwi, business, government and community stakeholders has been set up to guide and oversee the work. The feasibility study was carried out concurrently and linked to the review of visitor information services by Destination Planning Ltd. The objectives of the Centre are to: 1. Significantly enhance the experience of visitors going to Kāpiti Island by providing ease of access, information and education about the Island 2. Increase the number of visitors to the Island while ensuring ongoing protection 3. Increase the profile of Kāpiti Island nationally in order to attract more visitors to the Kāpiti District as a whole An underlying motive for the Centre is to integrate District agendas for tourism, conservation, iwi Maori and business. Four options for achieving the objectives and the underlying motive were explored. Multiple potential locations for the proposed Centre were assessed and the study team’s consensus is that the existing site occupied by the Kāpiti Boating Club offers the best potential.

  • The Case of Kapiti Coast District Council
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association Getting an outdoor smokefree policy: the case of Kapiti Coast District Council Leigh Halkett, George Thomson Abstract Aim To explore how a smokefree parks policy was conceived, accepted and developed by and for Kapiti Coast District Council (KCDC). Method Thirteen people involved in the smokefree parks policy process for KCDC were interviewed in person during November–December 2008. Supporting documentation and websites were accessed and reviewed. Results In September 2008 the KCDC agreed to adopt a smokefree parks and playground policy, following an initiative from a smokefree coalition of several public health organisations. The policy was developed collaboratively by this coalition with input from the council, and was supported by key local organisations. The KCDC appears to have adopted a smokefree outdoor areas (SFOA) policy because of demonstrated public support, the relative simplicity and low cost of the policy, the success of similar policies elsewhere, and because of the alignment with desired community outcomes. The challenges included finding funding and allocating staff time for this project. There were also concerns with how the policy would be enforced. Conclusions A collaborative approach amongst health and community groups for achieving SFOA policies works well. The experience with council SFOA policies has considerable impact on the adoption of similar policies by other councils. To maximise this influence, information about the policies needs to be spread nationally by the health and local government sectors. Legislative efforts to reduce smoking and the exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) in New Zealand have included the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 (SEA) and the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Act 2003 (SEAA).
