The UDP identifies seven essential design qualities that create quality urban design, known as the seven Cs. They are; Context, Choice, Connections, Creativity, Character, Custodianship and Collaboration. This guide is one of the tools the Council and the development community can use to achieve these seven urban design qualities. PG:7 Subdivision and Infrastructure Development in Hastings District - Best Practice Design Guide B DESIGN PRINCIPLES B1 Design Principles 010 PG:9 Subdivision and Infrastructure Development in Hastings District - Best Practice Design Guide B1 Design Principles The following principles were developed as part of a workshop with Council officers and others that are involved in subdivision and development in the Hastings District. SELECT They underpin the guidelines which are acceptable design solutions for subdivisions a suitable site for subdivision or retrofitting. Some locations have greater and the retrofitting of infrastructure. ability to absorb development than others and some sites are more suitable for retrofitting due to the condition of the infrastructure. They respond to the key issues and opportunities that should be addressed in the Core Principles design of subdivisions and the upgrading of above ground infrastructure which significantly influence the quality of the built environment. These principles are B1 illustrated in the design guidelines that follow. INTEGRATE natural elements, patterns and processes into the design. This could include vegetation, landforms and waterbodies to enhance the existing character, create identity and maintain and enhance natural ecosystems. RETAIN heritage and special character areas, drainage patterns, landform, view corridors, open space, natural features and links with other areas. ENHANCE ecological systems and processes in a way that accommodates development while improving ecology. Use plantings which are compatible with Hastings District ecosystems and climate, suitable for the site, and of a scale that relates to the underlying and surrounding landscape.

SAFE and healthy developments are those that provide for visual surveillance over public spaces such as roads, reserves and open spaces, where traffic speeds are compatible with pedestrians/cyclists and where subdivisions are orientated to maximise solar gain.

    OUR DRINKING WATER THE SAFETY OF KAWERAU’S DRINKING WATER IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR COUNCIL GOVERNMENT INQUIRY INTO DRINKING WATER Following the 2016 Havelock North water contamination which made more than 5000 people ill and caused numerous businesses to close for days, a government inquiry was held. The Stage Two Report from the Inquiry has recommended significant changes to New Zealand’s drinking water standards and the treatment of drinking water nationally. RESIDUAL TWO OF THE KEY TREATMENT DISINFECTION RECOMMENDATIONS of all drinking of drinking water OF THE REPORT water supplies i.e. treatment with chlorine WHAT IT MEANS FOR KAWERAU Council has made the decision that the only way to ensure the safety of our drinking water is to begin chlorination. From 1 July 2018, chlorine will be added to the water supply. WHY DO WE NEED TO START USING CHLORINE? Treating water with chlorine is backed up by science and more than a century of use around the world as a safe and effective water disinfectant. • Chlorine is recognised world-wide as the most effective way to kill bacteria, such as campylobacter, in drinking water supplies. • UV treatment does effectively clean water but only at the point of treatment. • Chlorine stays in the water so that if bugs get in at some point in the pipe network, e.g. through a mains break or contamination from a back flow, the chlorine will kill them.
