    Internal Correspondence Our ref: Your ref: To: PRSG – T. Wilkes Date: From: Terrestrial Ecosystems Unit – J. Marshall Subject: Te Kuha Coal Mine Summary • The applicant has provided appropriate and adequate information to assess the vegetation and flora values of the proposed industrial footprint, the impact of the proposal on those values and potential mitigation and compensation actions • The vegetation and flora values within the Westport Water Conservation Reserve, the Ballarat and Mount Rochfort Conservation Areas and the Lower Buller Gorge Scenic Reserve are clearly significant, particularly the degree of intactness but also the degree of connectivity to other large and relatively unmodified areas of high ecological value, and because of the presence of several “Naturally Uncommon Ecosystems”, two Nationally Threatened plant species, one and potentially two or three plant species in decline – at risk of extinction, and six species with scientifically interesting distributions. • The site is an ecologically important part of the Ecological District and Region. The elevated Brunner coal measures ecosystems are nationally unique: Te Kuha and Mt William are distinguished from all other parts of the elevated Brunner coal measures as they are the only discrete parts of the system that are essentially intact with no significant disruption to ecological patterns and processes and they represent the best example of coastal hillslope forest remaining on elevated Brunner coal measures. • The impacts, both in short and long time frames on significant biodiversity values of an opencast coal mine and associated infrastructure, are significant; the remedial effects of active restoration and site rehabilitation will be limited. • The suggested mitigation actions include avoidance measures, remedial actions and some mitigation and/or compensation suggestions.

  • West Coast Visitor Waste Management Strategy
    WEST COAST VISITOR WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AS AMENDED BY 2ND STAKEHOLDER MEETING IN GREYMOUTH ON 4TH OCTOBER 2006 PREPARED FOR : W EST COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT GROUP PREPARED BY : T OURISM RESOURCE CONSULTANTS , IN ASSOCIATION WITH LINCOLN UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This strategy has been developed to manage waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. It has been prepared for several parties: the West Coast Waste Management Working Group, an inter-agency working group consisting of: West Coast Regional Council; Buller District Council; Grey District Council; Westland District Council; Transit New Zealand; Department of Conservation; and the Ministry for Environment. Other parties also have an interest in the project, including Tourism West Coast and the Ministry of Tourism. The strategy has been prepared by Tourism Resource Consultants in association with Lincoln University. It has been prepared following meetings with council staff, Transit New Zealand, Opus and various community, waste management and visitor industry representatives on and off the West Coast. Relevant information on visitor sites and facilities were integrated into a database and ‘Hot-Spots’ (areas under substantial pressure from visitors) were identified. Our goal with this strategy is to: Minimise effects of waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. Our objectives to achieve this, are to: Provide a level of infrastructure and service that is cost-effective, integrated and of the right capacity to cope with present and future growth in the visitor industry; Provide effective information and education so that visitors use waste management facilities; Discourage non-complying activities and enforce financial consequences for visitors who are not using waste management facilities.

In the North, from the Heaphy Track to Greymouth, northern rata often dominates the forest landscape, mainly near the coast and on limestone faces.
