District Plan Change 32 Abbott Allan Submitter Number: 349 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Wind power is a good idea in appropriate places. City hills are inappropriate. Makara is an important recreation area. Solar and other renewable options should be investigated. Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Aberhart Rachel Submitter Number: 275 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Wind power is a good idea in appropriate places.

Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Agnew William Submitter Number: 311 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: It is not acceptable that these rules should override all other rules in the District Plan. Do not cover the rural hills of Wellington in wind turbines. Wind turbines are inappropriate on Quartz/ Makara hills. These rules are not satisfactory. Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Page 1 Airways Corporation of Submitter Number: 209 New Zealand Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: amend Specific Provisions: Rule 26.3.1 Submission: Plan change 32 is supported in so far that it responds to the need for greater energy efficiency and the need to promote the generation of energy from renewable sources. Concerns do however exist over the proposed impact that any proposed wind energy development could have on the existing Hawkins Hill radar station or any future radar/ navigational aid sites. The potential problems radar may suffer are 1) structures may pose an obstruction to the radar signal path along aircraft routes 2)The rotating blades of the turbines could be picked up by primary radar and seen as false targets. The above need to be considered on a case by case basis as distance from radar elevation with respect to radar and orientation of turbines may each have an impact. Decision Requested: Amend to include a new subject matter: "The effects of any proposal on the operation of the Airways Hawkins Hill radar station and any other relevant navigational sites and facilities and the safe and efficient operation of the air transport network be fully assessed and avoided , remedied or mitigated". Allen Lyn Submitter Number: 227 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Wind turbines will spoil the rural area of Wellington.

Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Armstrong Victor Submitter Number: 449 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Wind turbines over the City's rural hills will not be in the best interest of the City. Hundreds of massive turbines will be needed to generate any significant power. Put turbines in other areas of Wellington region e.g. Wairarapa where there are no people or important rural/ coastal recreation area. Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Arnold Brian Submitter Number: 422 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Do not put wind turbines on hills of Wellington they are noisy and visually intrusive.

Askin Elizabeth Submitter Number: 604 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: We should learn from overseas mistakes, and not do this in the wrong places. There are other choices solar is good. Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Atkins D M Submitter Number: 431 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Wind power is a good idea in appropriate places.

Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Baguley Christopher Submitter Number: 136 Gordon Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Quartz hill is not an appropriate site for wind turbines. Wind turbines may be sited in many locations away from people. Solar power has been poorly considered in New Zealand, yet is able to produce vast amounts of energy. Evidence from overseas has shown the huge negative impact resulting from the thoughtless positioning of wind turbines. Placing wind turbines in Makara will be irreplaceable. Noise pollution is becoming one of the biggest forms of pollution. My partner is deaf and susceptible to low frequency noise. We chose a quiet suburb to reduce discomfort from low frequency noises. Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Page 4 Bailey Spencer Submitter Number: 444 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Makara has a unspoiled and natural character and is steeped in history especially Quartz Hill. It is not an appropriate site for a wind farm as noise and visual pollution will result. Property values and saleability will be eroded. Decision Requested: Decline and withdraw Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules. Baird Barbara Submitter Number: 346 Submission Number: 1 Plan Section Name: Chapter 26 Renewable Energy Rules Support/Oppose: oppose Specific Provisions: Chapter 26 - General Submissions Submission: Wind power is a good idea in appropriate places.

The City Council is the building’s owner. The building, which has in recent decades been used by the Porirua Little Theatre, was constructed in 1942-43, during World War 2, as a recreation hall for the U.S. Marines stationed at the Titahi Bay Camp. Eight camps were established along the West Coast of the Wellington region during that time either using buildings already in existence (such as the old golf club house at Titahi Bay) or constructing purpose built facilities within very tight time frames. Since the war these buildings have gradually been demolished and now the hall at Titahi Bay is the only purpose built structure still in existence from these eight camps and still in its original location.

  • Energy Policies of IEA Countries New Zealand
    Please note that this PDF is subject to specific restrictions that limit its use and distribution. The terms and conditions are available online at www.iea.org/about/copyright.asp Energy Policies of IEA Countries New Zealand 2010 Review Energy Policies of IEA Countries New Zealand New Zealand’s strong commitment to liberalised energy markets has delivered a relatively high level of energy security and economic prosperity for consumers. Since the previous IEA review in 2006, the government has built on the success of existing policy mechanisms and implemented a number of far-reaching changes in the electricity sector and environmental policy. But progress in some sectors, such as energy efficiency, has not been as strong as anticipated. In mid-2010, the government commenced a review of the New Zealand Energy Strategy. The result is the publication of a new energy strategy, which establishes clear long-term policy priorities and energy-savings goals. Implementing these strategies will bring many new challenges, including attainment of the government’s medium-term energy-savings targets. New Zealand enjoys the advantage of a diverse and balanced portfolio of renewable-energy resources, which contribute over 70% of electricity output – the third highest portion in IEA member countries. This resource base has the potential to deliver greater volumes of energy and the government aspires to increase this proportion to 90% of electricity generation by 2025. Meeting this target will bring many benefits but also tough challenges, such as maintaining a robust National Grid. This review analyses the energy-policy challenges facing New Zealand and provides sectoral critiques and recommendations for further policy improvements.
