Mr Connolly outlined the contingency plans in place for the Portobello Road closure over 3 days (29- 31 March) from 7pm to 6am. He confirmed that the road would only open to emergency service traffic and that the road closure was due to stormwater drainage to the subdivision above Proctor and Irvine Roads. He confirmed public meeting to be held today (12 March) on the section work and road closure. Moved (Chairperson Paul Pope/Member Graham McArthur): That the Board: Extends Public Forum Motion carried (OPCB/2020/012) Otago Peninsula Community Board Minutes 12 March 2020 Page 1 of 7 Sam Neill spoke in regard to the letter from himself and wife Christine to the Board seeking the Board’s support for tar sealing a section of Allans Beach Road. Sam clarified that a section of 500m was the request outside their residence (from the 70k speed zone sign along to the wool shed entrance of their property). He advised he believed that a precedent had been set with seal on the Cape Saunders Road and considered that the sealed roads provided easier maintenance. He advised that part of the reason for the request was due to health concerns from the dust coming off Allans Beach Road (as one of the busiest gravel roads on the peninsula), due to tourists and the popularity of Allans Beach. A result of the level of traffic and the dusted created entering the tank water supply to their home which was impacting their health and wellbeing. He and his wife Christine were seeking the Board’s support for Annual Plan consultation of the issue. Sam responded to questions from Board members in regard to options to contain the dust on the road and advise he was strongly against the use of oil to control the dust on the road due to carcinogenic concern during the breakdown of the oil. Board members acknowledged the level of traffic on the Allans Beach Road and the impact on the Neill’s water supply and the letter would be forwarded by the Board to the Transport Team. Macandrew Bay Boat Club pontoon Roy Roker, Commodore of the Macandrew Bay Boat Club spoke about replacement of the pontoon which had been removed by DCC approximately 6 years ago under agreement that Council would remove, repair and install the pontoon in another location and to replace the pontoon with one more suitable to the conditions at Macandrew Bay. He advised his concern and frustration that the club was still without a pontoon which greatly affected access to Macandrew Bay beach and shops by recreational water users. He advised that he had received a letter from DCC to advise that a request for resource consent to the ORC had been made for a new pontoon structure. Roy responded to questions from Board members. The Board were supportive of establishing a timeframe with DCC on when the pontoon structure would be in place. Paul Pope confirmed he would forward correspondence to staff on the Board’s behalf. 3 APOLOGIES Moved (Member Lox Kellas/Chairperson Paul Pope): That the Board: Accepts the apologies from Edna Stevenson and Cr Andrew Whiley.

  • Environmental Status of the Near Shore Coastal Environment

    Environmental Status of the Near Shore Coastal Environment

    Environmental Status of The Near Shore Coastal Environment April 2005 Environmental Status of The Near Shore Coastal Environment ISBN 1-877265-14-4 April 2005 Environmental Status of The Near Shore Coastal Environment i Executive Summary This report presents a comprehensive review of the environmental status of Otago’s near shore coastal environment. There is no current Otago Regional Council (ORC) coastal monitoring programme and therefore the ORC relies on resource consent monitoring to fulfil it’s responsibilities under the Resource Management Act (1991), the Regional Policy Statement and the Regional Plan: Coast. The only intensive coastal monitoring undertaken is in the vicinity of Dunedin and is due to the discharge of Green Island and Tahuna WWTP effluent, otherwise coastal monitoring of Otago’s coastal marine area (CMA) is limited both temporally and spatially. A review of coastal monitoring undertaken since the late 1990’s is presented with particular regard to water quality, the effects of discharges and possible effects on recreational and food gathering areas. Four main areas are covered: • Water quality monitoring undertaken as a requirement of resource consents. • Other monitoring as required by resource consents such as sediment monitoring programmes, ecological programmes, algal monitoring programmes or monitoring for the extent of mussel contamination. • ORC State of Environment monitoring of the major rivers that discharge into the Otago CMA. • A review of published research conducted in Otago’s CMA over the past 10 years. There is a need for a coordinated long term water quality and environmental monitoring programme for the whole of the Otago coastline, and the following monitoring and information gathering requirements are recommended: • That sufficient baseline information is collected to be able to establish water quality classes for the Otago CMA.

    Yellow-Eyed Penguin Trust Annual Report 2019/20

    Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust Annual Report 2019/20 Reporting period 1st April 2019 – 24th March 2020 It gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust’s (YEPT) activities for the year 2019-2020. The year’s highlights included the completion and opening of our Catlins Fieldbase and the ongoing collaboration with the Department of Conservation, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Fisheries New Zealand to produce Te Kaweka Takohaka mō te Hoiho (the Hoiho strategy) and Te Mahere Rima Tau (the Hoiho 5-year action plan), although the final versions have not yet been released. As described below, we now are applying the widest range of conservation management tools ever used by the Trust to save the hoiho population. The details of our effort follow, each section contributed by the person best-suited to describe the year’s activities. YELLOW-EYED PENGUINS / HOIHO This season nest numbers continued to decline and are now estimated to comprise 168 breeding pairs for mainland NZ (i.e. Otago, Catlins and Banks Peninsula), down from 227 in 2018/19. There has been a devastating decline in the Catlins, and at Bravo Islands in particular. Despite intensive searches last season, many breeding females (Catlins) were not sighted again during moult. This season they have not returned to breed. It is likely that these birds were affected also by starvation, which resulted in large numbers of birds in rehabilitation last season. A similar decline has not been observed on Otago Peninsula or North Otago, where nest numbers are comparable to last season.

BOX 7137, TE NGAE, ROTORUA Ph 07-343-9017; Fax 07-343-9018, email [email protected], www.wildlands.co.nz EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Otago Regional Council (ORC) is reviewing the roles it plays with respect to ecosystems and biological diversity, in order to give better effect to its statutory functions and responsibilities under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). Regional councils have a broad mandate for maintaining indigenous biological diversity, stemming from Section 30(1) of the RMA. A number of national goals and policy statements are also relevant. Wildland Consultants and Beca were commissioned to analyse options to improve management of indigenous ecosystems and diversity for Otago. The scope of the project includes terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems within Otago. As part of the project, the statutory and non-statutory framework covering the project was assessed, current indigenous biodiversity values of Otago Region were summarised, ecosystem zones were delineated and described, organisations involved in protecting and enhancing indigenous biodiversity in Otago were identified and their activities summarised, and the aspirations of organisations with respect to roles for ORC were canvassed with a representative selection of organisation representatives.
