  • CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips
    CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips South-eastern Southland fieldtrip 19th March 2020 Welcome and overview of the day. Invercargill to Gorge Road We are travelling on the Southern Scenic Route from Invercargill to the Catlins. Tisbury Old Dairy Factory – up to 88 around Southland We will be driving roughly along the boundary between the Southland Plains and Waituna Ecological Districts. The Southland Plains ED is characterized by a variety of forest on loam soils, while the Waituna District is characterized by extensive blanket bog with swamps and forest. Seaward Forest is located near the eastern edge of Invercargill to the north of our route today. It is the largest remnant of a large forest stand that extended from current day Invercargill to Gorge Road before European settlement and forest clearance. Long our route to Gorge Road we will see several other smaller forest remnants. The extent of Seaward forest is shown in compiled survey plans of Theophilus Heale from 1868. However even the 1865 extent of the forest is much reduced from the original pre-Maori forest extent. Almost all of Southland was originally forest covered with the exception of peat bogs, other valley floor wetlands, braided river beds and the occasional frost hollows. The land use has changed in this area over the previous 20 years with greater intensification and also with an increase in dairy farming. Surrounding features Takitimus Mtns – Inland (to the left) in the distance (slightly behind us) – This mountain range is one of the most iconic mountains in Southland – they are visible from much of Southland.

  • Wednesday 21 August 2013 Parks
    TO: INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES COMMITTEE FROM: THE DIRECTOR OF WORKS AND SERVICES MEETING DATE: WEDNESDAY 21 AUGUST 2013 PARKS STRATEGY Report Prepared by: Robin Pagan − Parks Manager SUMMARY The draft Parks Strategy has been now been completed and is ready for Council's consideration. RECOMMENDATIONS That the draft Parks Strategy for Council's Parks Division now be adopted. IMPLICATIONS 1. Has this been provided for in the Long Term Plan/Annual Plan? Yes 2. Is a budget amendment required? To complete the proposed levels of service, increased spending will be required in selected areas which may be off−set by decreased levels of service in other areas. This will need to be addressed at the time of drafting budgets. 3. Is this matter significant in terms of Council's Policy on Significance? Yes 4. Implications in terms of other Council Strategic Documents or Council Policy? This Strategy will link with Asset Management Plans, Long Term Plans and Reserve Management Plans. 5.

  • FROM POTHOLES to POLICY: How Invercargill City Council Informs Itself Of, and Has Regard To, the Views of All of Its Communities
    FROM POTHOLES TO POLICY: How Invercargill City Council informs itself of, and has regard to, the views of all of its communities Janette Malcolm School of Geography, E nvironment and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, ew Zealand Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of D evelopment Studies D egree JULY 2008 Abstract In the 1990s, governments in the Western world were seeking solutions to the economic and social dysfunction resulting from a decade of pure neo-liberal policies. Increased inequalities in the distribution of wealth, the promotion of individualism at the expense of community and citizens feeling alienated from government had become critical problems, nowhere more so than in New Zealand. A solution that has been adopted is to reconnect government at all levels with citizens and the civic sector. The good governance agenda proposed increased transparency and accountability of government to citizens, and a new role for citizens as participants and partners. It became the foundation for a fundamental reform of local government in New Zealand, resulting in the Local Government Act 2002. However, the acquisition of a right to participate does not necessarily lead to knowledge of that right and the capacity to exercise it on the part of citizens: nor the willingness to allow it on the part of government. There are also more general questions about the exercise of power, about representation and about whose voices are heard. This thesis, through a case study of Invercargill City Council, a local government authority in Southland, New Zealand, examines these issues relating to citizen participation and the extent to which the Council has been able to create an environment and processes that enable all of its communities to participate.

Over $7 million was invested into several upgrades and new developments. • Planning for a rebuild of the Northern Tavern was completed by year end.

  • Potential Impacts of Vehicle Traffic on Recruitment of Toheroa (Paphies Ventricosa) on Oreti Beach, Southland, New Zealand

Michael Skerrett: Te Ao Mārama, PO Box 7017, Invercargill. ii Executive Summary The Oreti Beach population of toheroa are of national conservation importance because of their outlying and limited distribution, long-term declines of both northern and southern populations, general degradation of marine ecosystem health, and the importance of toheroa as a customary food of Māori. Crushing of juveniles by vehicle traffic has been mooted as a potential threat to toheroa recruitment, but reliable scientific measures of its putative importance are lacking.
