    Queenstown Lakes District Plan Review, Chapter 26: Historic Heritage

    DISTRICT PLAN REVIEW CHAPTER 26: HISTORIC HERITAGE SUBMISSION TO THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL 23 OCTOBER 2015 1. BACKGROUND TO IPENZ The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) is the lead national professional body representing the engineering profession in New Zealand. It has approximately 16,000 Members, and includes a cross-section of engineering students, practising engineers, and senior Members in positions of responsibility in business. IPENZ is non-aligned and seeks to contribute to the community in matters of national interest giving a learned view on important issues, independent of any commercial interest. As the lead engineering organisation in New Zealand, IPENZ has responsibility for advocating for the protection and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. IPENZ manages a Heritage Register and a Heritage Record for engineering items throughout New Zealand. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Register has criteria and thresholds similar to Category 1 historic places on Heritage New Zealand’s New Zealand Heritage List/Rārangi Kōrero. Items on our Register have been assessed as being engineering achievements of outstanding or special heritage significance. IPENZ is still populating the Register. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Record includes histories of industrial and engineering items around New Zealand, and is also subject to ongoing improvements and additions. 2. GENERAL COMMENTS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The scheduling of heritage places in the District Plans of local authorities is an important mechanism that IPENZ supports because of our objective of promoting the protection, preservation and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. The Queenstown Lakes District has a very rich heritage and in particular has a wealth of industrial and engineering heritages sites because of the area’s early mining, agricultural and pastoral history and its challenging topography.

  • The Best of New Zealand

    The Best of New Zealand

    1 The Best of New Zealand Back in 1979, New Zealand cartoonist and satirist Tom Scott, writing in NZ Listener magazine, had this to say about New Zealand: “Terrible tragedy in the South Seas. Three million people trapped alive.” The big news in 2003 was that we hit the four million population mark, and more than half of that increase was due to immigration. (By 2009, that number climbed to 4.3 million.) Given that we have around 44 million sheep, one New Zealander still equates to a whole lot of fresh lamb. Look beyond the farm gate, though, and you’ll find we’ve caught up with the rest of the world. We may bob about at the bottom of the Southern Hemisphere, but it would be unfair to consider the country a backwater. New Zealand continues to notch up big gains in tourism, welcoming more than two million visitors a year, despite international upheavals like terrorist attacks, flu epidemics, and economic downturns. Tourism is our largest source of overseas income. International visitors contribute NZ$8.3 billion to the economy each year and the tourism sector at large contributes NZ$19 billion to the country’s economy annually. One in every 10 New Zealanders now works in the tourism industry. And we’re better equipped for tour- ists than ever. Efficient visitor centers abound, with accommodations ranging from budget to exclusive. You can shop 7 days a week, whoop it up at clubs and bars 24 hours a day, or savor a glass of internationally recognized New Zealand wine in an inexpensive cafe.
  • As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables

    As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables

    NZSki “Life As It Ought To Be” As the NZSki CEO James Coddington looked out over the spectacular vista afforded by the Remarkables mountain range - taking in the New Zealand tourist hub of Queenstown - he contemplated the future for his company. “We’re at a tipping point,” he suggested, “things could go either way. We’ve been gradually building momentum over the last few years. But we have to keep moving forward. We certainly have room to cope with more skiers, but if all we do is get more skiers on the mountains we will actually reduce the customer experience from what it is now. That will mean less skiers in the future, a weakened brand, and the undoing of a lot of good work over the last few years.” Figure 1: New Zealand’s Ski Areas NZSki operated 3 skifields – Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in Queenstown and Mount Hutt in Canterbury. Recent growth since Coddington’s appointment in 2007 has been spectacular. The 2009 season was the most successful season on record. As a company, skier/rider numbers were up 29% over 2008 and revenue was up 22% - despite the economic recession. “When I began we were getting 180,000 – 200,000 people a year on Coronet Peak, but now we’re at 330,000. The biggest single day in 2007 saw around 4000 people, but this year we had 7777 people in one day. With our old infrastructure we simply couldn’t have coped – but the completely rebuilt base building, and completion of the snowmaking system and our investments in lift and pass technology have paid huge dividends in protecting the experience.

    New Zealand 2008 - 2009

    KESTER BROWN New Zealand 2008 - 2009 his report covers developments in the New Zealand mountains from TMay 2008 to June 2009. The Darran Mountains in Fiordland National Park continue to be New Zealand’s pre-eminent destination for alpine rock development. Richard Thompson, Dave Vass and Richard Turner furthered their contribution to a wealth of new routes in the Central Darrans with a second line on Patuki’s north face. The route is six pitches, grade 20 and unnamed. Two very high quality new routes were added to the north face of Mt Moir. Nick Craddock, Murray Ball and Milo Gilmore completed a six-pitch climb, named Vindication, grade 25, on the right hand side of the face. Sarah Adcock and Kester Brown finished off an old aid route in the middle of the face, adding three pitches to what is now an all-free route: El Braveth goes at grade 25. Ian Brown and Tom Williams made the probable first ascent of the north-east ridge of Mt Madeleine in February over two days. The pair encountered fresh snow and rock gendarmes that made for difficult travel on the upper ridge. They bivvied at 1400m and thought the route would be about grade 3 on the Mt Cook scale. The Mt Aspiring Region whilst eternally popular, new alpine route de- velopment in the past year has been limited to just one line on the west face of Mt Aspiring. Pride of the Hotaka was climbed in January ’09 by a Japanese team comprising Takeshi Tani and Masayoshi Kohara. It is a direct line that tackles the upper headwall of the face directly and is graded AI5, M5.
