The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: an Example of Council(S), Consultant and Contractor Co-Operation to Remove a Historic Blight on the Landscape
    Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: An example of Council(s), Consultant and Contractor co-operation to remove a historic blight on the landscape. The Kaiaua coastline on the Gulf of Thames is an area of scenic and natural beauty. However, a 205m stretch of the coastline was for 20yrs used as a landfill for disposal of domestic and demolition waste, including asbestos containing material (ACM). Buried in natural hollows and localised excavations, and compressed to less than 1m thick the wastes lay hidden and largely forgotten until coastal erosion and retreat of the shoreline started to expose and wash out the refuse. Hauraki District Council inherited this legacy and decided to do something about it. To achieve a cost effective and practical level of remediation required a pragmatic approach by Regional and District Councils through the consenting process, by the Consultant in planning, verification and oversight, and by the Contractor working within a tight time frame, tidal and environmental constraints. The work also attracted considerable public and press attention. Close liaison and co-operation between all parties was essential during the site works including shared supervision of the work and joint assessment of materials that could be retained. In this paper we describe the constraints affecting the project and approaches used to overcome these to achieve a successful and acceptable level of site remediation. Authors: Ken Read: Principal Engineering Geologist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Andre Tibshraeny: Project Manager Hauraki District Council, Paeroa Debbie Dewar: Senior Environmental Scientist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Key Words: Landfill, Consenting, Asbestos, Contaminated Land, Remediation Introduction with site materials where possible or imported shelly material from further north on the The former Kaiaua landfill, located shoreline.
