  • What You Need to Know About Our Mining Activities Before You Purchase a Property in Waihi
    What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi OceanaGold is mining under residential properties in Waihi East and also has consent to mine in other areas. Here is what you need to know if you are considering purchasing a property in Waihi. CEPA We are mining in the area inside the yellow line in Waihi East. This area is known as CEPA, the Correnso Extended Project Area. We are allowed to mine underground anywhere in this area. The top of the Correnso mine is at least 130 metres below the surface. This is about the same distance from the Sky Tower glass observation deck to the street. Before we tunnel under any property inside the CEPA area we must offer the property owner an ex gratia payment of 5% of the current market value of the property. Before we mine under a property we must offer the property owner the same ex gratia payment or the option of us purchasing the property at current market valuation. If the property you are considering purchasing has already received an ex gratia payment this should be recorded on the LIM report. In the event that we mine under the property and offer to purchase it, the ex gratia payment will be deducted from the amount we offer. This does not apply to a sale on the open market. We advise that you check the LIM of any property you are considering purchasing.

  • An Application to Karangahake Gorge
    Modelling and Analysis of Crash Densities for Karangahake Gorge, NZ Cenek, P.D. & Davies, R.B. MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF CRASH DENSITIES FOR KARANGAHAKE GORGE, NEW ZEALAND Peter Cenek, Research Manager, Physical & Engineering Sciences, Opus International Consultants ([email protected])) & Robert Davies, Director, Statistics Research Associates Limited ([email protected]) ABSTRACT An 18 km length of New Zealand state highway located in tortuous terrain that displayed a poor safety level (11 injury crashes per year) was selected to trial the “safety improvement potential” approach to safety management of roads. This approach involves comparing the actual safety level over a section of road with the average safety level estimated from a crash prediction model. This paper presents the results of applying a crash prediction model specifically developed for the New Zealand state highway network to analyse the safety performance of the 18 km route. The Poisson regression model is believed to be one of the first to successfully relate crash rates to road geometry and road condition. Therefore, the relative effectiveness of various engineering based countermeasures to bring about an improvement in the current safety level was also able to be assessed. The countermeasures investigated included realignment, high friction surfacing and road smoothing. It was determined from the modelling studies that a more consistent level of crash risk throughout the 18 km route could be achieved through either increasing friction levels or increasing the radius of the horizontal curves at specific locations. Key Words: crash risk modelling, road surface condition, road geometry 1 INTRODUCTION Transit New Zealand’s safety programme has, for the most part, been reactive, eliminating crash “grey-spots” and “black-spots” across New Zealand’s state highway network.

  • Rereading Sikh History in New Zealand 1900-1914
    297 Harpreet Singh: Sikhs in New Zealand Re-Reading Sikh History in New Zealand 1900-1940 Harpreet Singh University of Otago, New Zealand _______________________________________________________________ The research presented in this article brings forth new archival information on the Sikh community in New Zealand between 1900 and 1945. The article draws upon information from multiple primary sources including records of colonial institutions and newspapers. The details about the everyday life of Sikhs in New Zealand are analysed. This includes their activities, occupations and employment as well as their interactions with colonial institutions such as the military, government institutions and the judicial system. In addition the article presents information on public dealings of Sikhs in several areas such as entertainment, sports, religion and culture. This research reveals how Sikhs were integrated into the New Zealand society and presents a new opportunity to scholars in terms of primary source information. Consequently the histories previously thought complete can now be reanalysed in light of new evidence. Finally this article provides fresh and detailed perspectives on the Sikhs by enriching, questioning and revealing new streams of history thought lost to time. _______________________________________________________________ The Sikh community’s history between 1900 and 1940 has been viewed through the lens of oral history. This has been, in part, due to the continuing reliance on McLeod’s extensive research on the earliest settlers and their descendants recorded in his book Punjabis in New Zealand.1 The lack of research into the early history of community has also been compounded by the lack of accessibility to primary sources especially with print culture sources.
