CATLINS BUSH and BEACH 24Th Feb. – 3Rd March 2018
CAT CATLINS BUSH AND B EACH CATLINS BUSH AND BEACH Goldfields Cavalcade to Owaka th rd 24 Feb. – 3 March 2018 Gold in the Catlins? Absolutely! Untold tonnes of gold has been washed down the Clutha River (both from it’s present day location and multi- previous routes) on the Catlins north-eastern boundary. Also the Mataura river on its west boundary used to drain the Wakatipu basin and is fed into from the Nokomai. This has resulted in the beaches of the Catlins being quite literally sprinkled in gold! Many a claim has been staked and money and infrastructure invested to acquire this treasure. However by the time the gold made it all the way to the coast from the mountains of origin and tides and currents transported it up and down the coast, only the finest of specks remain. The gold is there to be sure! But the effort put in for the quantities returned is just not sustainable. Energy put into ship building and logging initially was far more profitable. As elsewhere, farming was where the real wealth was to be gained. Today tourism is a key player also in the development and sustainability of the thriving Catlins region. You have probably been here for a look-see before? Come again on the Goldfields Cavalcade and discover some truly hidden gems!

Proposed Plan Change 5A (Lindis: Integrated Water Management)
Regional Plan: Water for Otago Proposed Plan Change 5A (Lindis: Integrated water management) ISBN 978-0-908324-12-5 8 August 2015 Introduction The Otago Regional Council has prepared Proposed Plan Change 5A (Lindis: Integrated water management) to the Regional Plan: Water for Otago. Proposed Plan Change 5A: Sets a management regime (allocation limits and minimum flow) for surface water and connected groundwater in the Lindis catchment; Sets a management regime (maximum allocation limits and take restrictions) for specified aquifers within the Bendigo-Tarras Basin (Ardgour Valley, Bendigo and Lower Tarras Aquifers); Maps the minimum flow catchment boundaries and monitoring site associated with the Lindis River in the B-series of the Water Plan maps; and Maps the boundaries of the Ardgour Valley, Bendigo and Lower Tarras aquifers and amends the boundaries of the Lindis Alluvial Ribbon Aquifer in the C-series map of the Water Plan. This document should be read in conjunction with: - Section 32 Evaluation Report; and - Regional Plan: Water for Otago (operative as at 1 June 2015). Amendments to the operative Regional Plan: Water for Otago as a result of Proposed Plan Change 5A are shown as follows: (additions underlined, deletions struck out). Changes to the provisions of the operative Regional Plan: Water for Otago that are proposed under Plan Change 3C (Waiwera catchment minimum flow), Plan Change 4B (Groundwater allocation) and Plan Change 4C (Groundwater management: Cromwell Terrace Aquifer) are shown in this document in blue. Any person may make comments on this consultation draft. You may do so by sending written comments to the Otago Regional Council, or by telephone. -

Note: Land described as “Conservation Park”, “Stewardship” “Covenant” or “State Forest Park” is land held for conservation purposes under the Conservation Act 1987 or some other similar Act concerned with the conservation of natural and physical resources. “Stewardship” area is defined by the Conservation Act 1987 as follows; “means a conservation area that is not: (a) A marginal strip; or (b) A watercourse area; or (c) Land held under the Conservation Act for one or more of the purposes described in section 18(1) of the Conservation Act; or (d) Land in respect of which an interest is held under this Act for one or more of the purposes described in section 18(1) of the Conservation Act. “Conservation Area” means any land or foreshore that is: (a) Land or foreshore for the time being held under the Conservation Act for conservation purposes; or (b) Land in respect of which an interest is held under Conservation Act for conservation purposes. -
