With the National Army Museum Meet - National Army Museum MEET WITH THE NATIONAL ARMY MUSEUM MEET - NATIONAL ARMY MUSEUM THE HEADQUARTERS - BUILDING 81 The National Army Museum’s Meeting facility, Building 81 dates back to 1941 when The Public Works Department was enlisted to construct a permanent training ground on a large area of land in Waiouru.

  • Before the Hearing Panel Wellington Regional
    BEFORE THE HEARING PANEL WELLINGTON REGIONAL COUNCIL IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER of Proposed Natural Resources Regional Plan for the Wellington Region STATEMENT OF REBECCA DAVIES ON BEHALF OF NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE SUBMITTER S81 & FURTHER SUBMITTER FS64 5 MAY 2017 STATEMENT OF REBECCA DAVIES ON BEHALF OF THE NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE (NZDF) – SUBMITTER S81 INTRODUCTION 1 My name is Rebecca Davies and I am employed by New Zealand Defence Force, (NZDF) within Defence Estate and Infrastructure, as Senior Environmental Officer (Statutory Planner). My role is national and “tri-service” which means I am responsible for planning issues associated with the activities and facilities of Army, Navy and Air Force throughout New Zealand. 2 Today I would like to make a short statement, providing background to NZDF’s submission and evidence. 3 I am familiar with NZDF’s submission on the Proposed Natural Resources Plan (PNRP) having directed consultants in preparation of those. 4 NZDF is a government department, an element of the Crown, and provides military capability as required by Government. NZDF is empowered and authorised in its activities by the Defence Act 1990 and by output agreements with Government. SUMMARY OF STATEMENT 5 Existing defence facilities within the Wellington region include the Trentham Military Camp. The Camp is a significant Defence facility and is of strategic importance regionally, nationally and internationally. The New Zealand Government purchased land for the Camp in1900, and the Camp has been in operation since before World War I. The continued operation of the Camp, and defence facilities in general, is essential in achieving Defence purposes under the Defence Act 1990 and an integral part of military capability.

  • New Zealand Defence Force: Deployment to East Timor – Performance of the Helicopter Detachment
    Report of the Controller and Auditor-General Tumuaki o te Mana Arotake New Zealand Defence Force: Deployment to East Timor – Performance of the Helicopter Detachment December 2002 Readers who are not familiar with all of the defence-related terms used in this report may find the terms explained in the glossary on pages 111-115. ISBN 0-478-18101-9 FOREWORD Foreword In November 2001 we issued our report on the New Zealand Defence Force’s (NZDF) Deployment to East Timor.1 That report looked at how the NZDF planned for the East Timor operation, prepared a joint force, and subsequently deployed that force to East Timor. We said in the November 2001 report that we would be reporting on a second examination of the roles performed by two particular elements of the New Zealand force in East Timor – helicopters and medical support. This report contains the results of the first part of that examination. It looks at the contribution of the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s helicopter detachment – looking mainly at planning for deployment during early to mid-1999, and operations from September 1999 to February 2000. I will shortly be publishing our report on the second part of the examination – Ministry of Defence: Deployment to East Timor – Performance of the Health Support Services. As with our earlier examination, the professionalism and helpfulness of the New Zealand Defence Force personnel in preparing this report have impressed us. I thank in particular the personnel from No. 3 Squadron and other Air Force units we spoke to for their willingness and co-operation.

SUMMARY Ngamatea Swamp, Waiouru, has been severely modified by fire, grazing, drain excavation and other factors. A survey of the wetland's vegetation and wildlife in September 1988 showed that parts of the area still have important natural features which it would be possible to retain, or even enhance, with appropriate management. An environmental impact assessment made in 1978, before drains were excavated, did not identify the significant vegetation types and plant species which are still present.
