    NEWS ‘N VIEWS FROM THE GROUP | JUNE 2018 CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE Welcome back to all our members and their families who attended our fantastic Plumbing World Funtimes in Fiji convention in May, and I trust that everyone is now adjusting to the challenges of the early onset of our New Zealand winter. Conditions across the country are already treacherous, so I ask everyone in our NZPM, Metrix and Plumbing World businesses, and all of our co-operative members to please take extra care—especially on the roads—this winter. It was great to see over 230 people enjoying the events and camaraderie that our incredible Fiji shareholder trip offered, including around 100 members celebrating their first of what I’m sure will be many Plumbing World overseas conventions. With the next convention announced as Beijing in 2020, I expect that we’ll again see a big turnout, as shareholders continue to experience those unique and special benefits that membership of our co-operative offers. During the convention we delivered a business session where I outlined details of the NZPM Group’s strategic and co-operative focus, together with updates around our financial performance, the forecast rebate dividend and our Future Governance programme. Following this Rob Kidd talked about three key aspects of running your business in this modern era, which is becoming increasingly digitally and technologically challenging for us all. For those who didn’t make it to Fiji, all of this information together with an opportunity for you to ask questions or offer feedback about your co-operative will be provided during our forthcoming annual roadshows.

  • Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf
    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

The one- way bridge was officially opened by Lord Cobham, then New Zealand’s Governor-General, on 21 June 1958 with the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the event. At the time, construction was not quite complete – with rolled steel anchor rods from Australia having been delayed for seven months by industrial problems. Thus on the big day, Lord Cobham declared the bridge both officially opened and temporarily closed!1 The official opening of this bridge was especially significant to the Mangamahu community. A grand ball had been held the previous night in the woolshed at Okirae Station, complete with 30 truckloads of greenery used for decoration - and also the Governor-General.

  • Clyde Railway Station, Recreation Reserve, Clyde
    Review of existing conservation plans for the Clyde Museums Feasibility Study Project Clyde Railway Station, Recreation Reserve, Clyde. Date Plan Published: December 2011 Commissioned by Central Otago District Council Prepared by Robin Miller MNZIBS MRICS Origin Consultants Ltd August 2018 Architecture Heritage Archaeology Origin Consultants Ltd Rear of 38 Buckingham Street, Arrowtown & Level 4, Security Buildings, 115 Stuart Street, Dunedin Review of existing conservation plans for Clyde Museums Project Building: Clyde Railway Station Date of conservation plan: December 2011 Brief history: • Opened on 2nd April 1907 as a Troup Type B station. • Construction of the railway began on 7th June 1878 with an estimated construction duration of 6 years to reach Wanaka – the line actually reached Cromwell in 1921 where it stopped. • The station serviced the fruit industry and the demand for excursion trains, but suffered from competition from road transport, particularly from 1960 onwards. The 1980 station on the outskirts of the town was built to serve the construction of the Clyde dam; the engineering works to which closed the line to Cromwell and the 1907 station. After that, the line between Middlemarch to Clyde was abandoned completely in 1990. • Apart from the station and a short section of line, a few former railway houses remain nearby, together with the goods shed that was relocated to the adjacent Briar Herb Factory Museum site. • In 1997, the station was registered as a Category II Historic Place (Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga) and it is also a protected building in the CODC District Plan. Summary of findings: • The station building has high heritage significance on both a local & regional basis.

Sorry readers but I made a couple of mistakes in the last Journal which I need to correct. First the host organisation for the 2014 FRONZ Conference is SteamRail Wanganui, not Wanganui Steam & Rail as I misquoted on page 11. My apologies to the Wanganui team. My apologies also to Pleasant Point Railway. I got your newspaper story confused with Plains Railway in the caption on page 2.

This publication may be reproduced in whole or in part provided the source is fully and clearly acknowledged. ISBN: 978-0-478-37658-6 Published March 2013 Prepared by: Kirsty O’Sullivan, natural hazards analyst Michael Goldsmith, manager natural hazards Gavin Palmer, director environmental engineering and natural hazards Cover images Both cover photos are from the June 1980 floods. The first image is the Taieri River at Outram Bridge, and the second is the Taieri Plain, with the Dunedin Airport in the foreground. Executive summary The Taieri Plains is a low-lying alluvium-filled basin, approximately 210km2 in size. Bound to the north and south by an extensive fault system, it is characterised by gentle sloping topography, which grades from an elevation of about 40m in the east, to below mean sea level in the west. At its lowest point (excluding drains and ditches), it lies about 1.5m below mean sea level, and has three significant watercourses crossing it: the Taieri River, Silver Stream and the Waipori River. Lakes Waipori and Waihola mark the plain’s western boundary and have a regulating effect on drainage for the western part of the plains. The Taieri Plains has a complex natural-hazard setting, influenced by the combination of the natural processes that have helped shape the basin in which the plain rests, and the land uses that have developed since the mid-19th century.

Knowing the precarious state of suitable steam coal which faces those operating large or network locos, I thought the attached article from the Grey Star, 6 Nov 2015, should be circulated amongst members who may need to contact their local supplier as regards a future supply. With the apparent demise of the Cascade Mine the preferred and often only suitable steam coal, the choices to my knowledge are limited to; Strongman - very limited production, Redale, Reefton - a limited scale opencast operation with equally limited future and Garveys Ck, Reefton - well known for destroying grates. There may be some medium heat coals from couple of small mines in the Reefton area and of course the well known Mai Mai lignite and that is it. Any members are welcome to contact me but best they contact their favourite supplier with a copy of the newspaper cutting. CORRECTION—AGAIN!!
