Carter , Christine M. Kenney Joint Centre for Disaster Research, GNS Science/Massey University, Massey University, P O Box 756, Building T20, 94 Tasman Street, Wellington 6021, New Zealand ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: New Zealand media reports have shaped public discourses on the role of community stakeholders in responding Media to the devastation caused by the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes and the Kaikōura Earthquake in 2016. Discourse Anecdotal evidence has also suggested that Māori disaster management responses to both contexts received ā M ori differing levels of media attention and thus inconsistent recognition within the public domain. Iwi (Māori tribes) Disaster management have historically enacted kaitiakitanga (cultural guardianship) for their respective regions. Contemporary iwi Earthquake recovery remain obligated to ensure the wellbeing of local Māori as well as the broader community and environment Kaikōura during adversity, and act accordingly. Media stories pertaining to Māori responders' actions in the aftermath of 2016 Kaikōura earthquakes, have highlighted the effectiveness of such community-led responses as well as the importance of maintaining a unified and well integrated approach to recovery management. In contrast, very few media reports provide comment on the Māori earthquake recovery response to the 2010–2011 Christchurch earthquakes. In this article, the ways in which Māori responses were represented by the media following both natural hazard events, are examined. Media conceptualisations of Māori disaster management leadership are explored through drawing on content and thematic analyses while constructions of Māori cultural identity are considered in the context of disaster management practices. Tensions pertaining to public recognition and le- gitimatisation of Māori response capabilities are also documented and will inform refinement of media ap- proaches to disaster communication as well as national emergency management policy and protocols. 1.

Box 30-125, St Martins, Christchurch, New Zealand e-mail: 1 [email protected]; ABSTRACT Brine at the Kawerau Geothermal Limited (KGL) plant was injected into three injection wells (KA43, KA44 and PK4A). Since plant commissioning, the capacity of the wells declined to the point where well intervention was necessary to avoid loss of generation. Investigative work was initiated with multi-rate injection tests which found that the injection index of the wells had declined significantly to approximately half of pre-utilisation levels. Further geochemistry analysis identified that the most likely source of injectivity decline was scaling due to colloidal silica forming in the formation. KA44 and PK4A were acidised using a standard 10% hydrochloric acid pre-flush followed by a 10%:5% HF:HCL mud acid solution. A 2” coil tubing unit with a 5 hole 45º nozzle bottom hole assembly was used giving a maximum pump rate of 3.5 - 4.0 barrels per minute. Feedzones were acidised one at a time starting with the deeper zones. Post well injection tests identified that the acidising Figure 1: Location of the Kawerau Geothermal Field had recovered the injectivity of the deeper feedzones but the shallower feedzones remain blocked with Silica precipitation at Kawerau has been a concern scale.

    Kawerau Geothermal System Management Plan

    KAWERAU GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN February 2018 Prepared in Collaboration with Executive Summary The Kawerau Geothermal System is located to the north-east of Kawerau within the Bay of Plenty Region, and partially underlies the township of Kawerau. It has been substantially developed for industrial purposes pursuant to resource consents granted by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). This includes geothermal energy being used for electricity generation, industrial processes (direct heat) and cultural purposes. Bay of Plenty Regional Council has functions under Section 30 of the RMA for the management of geothermal resources. The Bay of Plenty Regional Policy Statement (RPS) requires the preparation of a System Management Plan (SMP) for the Kawerau Geothermal System as a key part of the way in which BOPRC intends to manage the Kawerau Geothermal System. This SMP has been prepared in collaboration with the four consent holders authorised to take more than 1,000 tonnes per day of geothermal fluid from the Kawerau Geothermal System, being: Mercury NZ Limited, Ngāti Tūwharetoa Geothermal Assets Limited, Geothermal Developments Ltd, and Te Ahi O Māui Partnership. Engagement has also been undertaken with tangata whenua and interested and potentially affected parties, including industrial operators using the geothermal resource. The purpose of this SMP is to ensure that the Kawerau Geothermal System is managed in a sustainable manner in accordance with the requirements of the RMA and the relevant policy and planning documents prepared under the RMA. The content anticipated in an SMP is set out in Policy GR7B of the RPS and includes objectives for its overall management and strategies to achieve the objectives The SMP is a non-statutory document and will be periodically reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and fit for purpose.
