Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

Coromandel-Colville Reserves: Management Plan
Coromandel-Colville Reserves: Management Plan September 2018 Purpose of this plan The Reserves Act 1977 requires that Thames-Coromandel District Council (the Council), as an administering body, prepare this management plan (Section 41). Reserves Act management plans are an important reserve management tool. These management plans are developed in consultation with reserve users, community and key stakeholder groups, with consideration to current management of a reserve. A management plan will provide for continuity between legislative requirements, council plans and policies, and the day-to-day operation of a reserve. This draft Coromandel Colville Reserves Management Plan applies to all reserves in the Coromandel Colville area administered by Thames-Coromandel District Council that are covered by the Reserves Act 1977. A management plan for the Coromandel Colville reserves was first prepared in 2005. This is the first review of the original plan. Process of preparing this reserve management plan, in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977: 14 March 2018 Council invites suggestions on reserve management objectives and policies Council approves draft Coromandel Colville Reserve Management Plan for 30 October 2018 public consultation Council calls for submissions on the draft Coromandel Colville Reserve 5 November 2018 Management Plan 18 January 2019 Submissions close February Hearings Public Consultation on this draft plan Public consultation on this plan will be undertaken from 5 November 2018 to 18 January 2019. Submission Process If you wish to make a submission to this draft General Policies Reserve Management Plan, you can: Complete a submission form online at www.tcdc.govt.nz/Have-Your-Say Send us an email to [email protected] Or, if you would prefer send a written submission to - Reserve Management Plan Review, Thames-Coromandel District Council, Private Bag1001, Thames 3540.

Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: an Example of Council(S), Consultant and Contractor Co-Operation to Remove a Historic Blight on the Landscape
Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: An example of Council(s), Consultant and Contractor co-operation to remove a historic blight on the landscape. The Kaiaua coastline on the Gulf of Thames is an area of scenic and natural beauty. However, a 205m stretch of the coastline was for 20yrs used as a landfill for disposal of domestic and demolition waste, including asbestos containing material (ACM). Buried in natural hollows and localised excavations, and compressed to less than 1m thick the wastes lay hidden and largely forgotten until coastal erosion and retreat of the shoreline started to expose and wash out the refuse. Hauraki District Council inherited this legacy and decided to do something about it. To achieve a cost effective and practical level of remediation required a pragmatic approach by Regional and District Councils through the consenting process, by the Consultant in planning, verification and oversight, and by the Contractor working within a tight time frame, tidal and environmental constraints. The work also attracted considerable public and press attention. Close liaison and co-operation between all parties was essential during the site works including shared supervision of the work and joint assessment of materials that could be retained. In this paper we describe the constraints affecting the project and approaches used to overcome these to achieve a successful and acceptable level of site remediation. Authors: Ken Read: Principal Engineering Geologist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Andre Tibshraeny: Project Manager Hauraki District Council, Paeroa Debbie Dewar: Senior Environmental Scientist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Key Words: Landfill, Consenting, Asbestos, Contaminated Land, Remediation Introduction with site materials where possible or imported shelly material from further north on the The former Kaiaua landfill, located shoreline.
