Section 4 Transportation Section 4 Transportation. 21 SECTION4 • TRANSPORTATION 4. 1. l, PUBLICROADS ANO ACCESS Public roads vary from being metalled to being unformed . The highest standard of roading is found on the main road from Port Fitzroy in the North, to Shoal Bay in the South. This road is maintained by the Ministry of Works and Development with the assista nce from the New Zealand Forest Service on behalf of the Counci l. Other roads that are branches off the main road are al so of an acceptable standard: (a) Mabey' s Road (b) Blind Bay Road (c) Puriri Bay Road (d) Motairehe Road ~ · ·,er formed roads are to a lesser standard, either because of the i r width, or the level of maintenance that has been carried out over the last ten years. These roads generally service small comnunities and are maintained to a lesser extent because of the l imited use by vehicular traff ic. Because of the lim i ted roading budget and the declining National Roads Board subsidy, like lih ood of the subsidiary roads being upgraded to the standard of the main arterial roads through the County in the plann in g period is remote. 4.1.2' · RECfiiT ROADFORMATIONS Extensive roading work has been carried out on th e Whangaparapara Road to upgrade it for all weather access. On completion this road will provide . the centre of the :a nd with a sheltered anchorage where goods can be unloaded . The roads running into Katherine Bay through Motai rehe Block and Kawa Block have recently been upgraded. 4. 1.3 UNFORMEDAND PAPER ROADS Many of the subdivisions on the Is land during the period of 1890-1925, divided land i nto a variety of holdin gs, varying in size from .4 to 400 hectares. The bulk of these subdivisions are in the Southern part of the County and they contain many paper roads or unformed roads t hat follow the existing ridge systems in that area. In the early 1960' s many of these paper roads were used for further subdivision into 4 hectare blocks. Because of the topography, it is not practica l to form these roads for vehicular traffic. In the case of these, 22 Rosalie Bay Road, Cape Barrier Road, Schooner Bay Road, the physical fomation has not followed the legal surveyed boundaries. With the smal ler land holdings being progressively settled there are demands on the Council to extend the roading network to service these blocks. With the fa lling National Roads Board subsidy, it-will be difficult for the Council to extend the roading network. The extension of roads and new roads is funded out of Public Expenditure,vote Ministry of Works and Development as developmental roading backblock access. 4.1. 4 WALKING ACCESS Where unformed and paper roads exist on the Island, the possibility of opening the roads up for pedestrian use has been investigated. With the advent of an increase in petrol costs and t he possibility of recreational pursuits, the l ikely demand over the planning period for the use of paper roa ds for bridle trails or walking tracks is apparent. Within the centre of the Island, the New Zealand Forest Service has pr ovided extensive walkways through the State Forest, and because of the recreational pote ntia l in the Southern part of the County, it is felt that bridle trails and walkways could be created over public or private la nd. Where walkways exist over private lan d, the position and consent must be obtained from the land owner befo re the public have the right of use. The New Zealand Walkway Commission will be invited to explore the development of walkways on the Island. 4.1.5 MAINTENANCEPOLICY Currently the publ ic roads on the Island are maintai ned by the Ministry of Works and Development and the New Zealand Forest Service, with t he funds being provid ed by th e National Roads Board grants, and revenue set aside from the Council's rate collectio n. It is proposed that this system of maintenan ce of roads continue. The maintenance of existing roads wi 11 continue and the adjacent roads off the main roading system through the Is lan d will be maintai ned also as part of the Council's policy. Subdivision roads will be part of the maint enance programme wtthin t he period of the Distri ct Scheme. Within the planning per iod, roads will be maintained to an all weather standard, but will remain as metal roads. The Council "pursue a Policy of alleviating bli nd corners and improv i ng road shape and drainage, with the view to improving safety and reducing maintenance costs. A current programme of bridge renewals is being followed to upgrade existing structures to the rural bridge standards. 4.2 ROADINGSTANDARDS 4. 2 .1 EX!STING ROADS Existi'ng roads have been formed using base rock mater ial from the Isla nd, and over the last 20 years the surface metal has been imported to the Island from Karamuramu Island (McCallllllS Island ) in t he Hauraki Gulf. 23 This metal provides a smooth finished surface to the road , but tends to be ground down to a fi ne powder. With the advent of new quarries opening on the Isl and, the Council wishes to see loca l metal used wherever possible on t he Is la nd' s roads. It is also the Council's policy to encourage the establ- i shment of quarries to produce not only roading metal but metal ·suitable for t he use of builders aggregate. l. The Council encourage t he use of local metal in preference to imported metal for the use on the Island's roads. 2. That the Council encourage the establishment of new quarries in suitable locations so that metal does not have to be transported for great distances through the Island. 3. That the existing road standard be maintained throughout the Is land. 4. That the Ministry of Works and Development carry out the function of maintaining the roa ds on the Council's behalf. 4.2.2 NEWROADS The Council has set engineering standards for the formation and construction of new roads serving subdivisions within the County. Over the last ten years, subdiv i sions have occurred locate d at Okupu, Kai toke and Bl ackwe11 Ori ve; and in each case the roads have been metalled roads to the depth of 25()runwith open water tables and no storm water systems. This provided a minimum standard from which the Council has felt th at future roading must be to a higher standard so , .. ,at there is minimun maintenance required on newly fonned roads for a period of 10 years . To achieve this the following policies will prevail :- 1. That new roading be formed to the same standard as the main Port Fitzroy to Shoal Bay Road. 2. That complete storm water systems be provided to cat er for storm water runoff from the road and to prov ide for overflow storm water from each section within the subdivision . 3. That the new roads wil 1 be of a sufficient standard to incur minimum erosion on the road surface. 4. That the binding of surface materia l be to the standard requ i red by the County Engineer. 24 4.3..1WHARVES ANO WATER TRANSPORT GENERAL Over the last fifteen years, water transport to the Is land both for passengers and freight has constantly changed, and at present there are t hree operators bringing freight to th e Island. The largest operator, Rope Shipping, brings f uel to four main locations on t he Island. These are :- I. Whangaparapara 2. Port Fitzroy 3. Tryphena 4. Okupu The bulk of the cargo that this Company carries is offloaded at Okupu and Port Fitzroy. Okupu handles most goods but this will te nd to diminish when the Whangaparapara road becomes all weather access. Because of the distinct conmunities on the Island, it is not practical to reduce the Ports of the lslard down to one centralised Port. Although Whangaparapara would make a logical choice as the central Port, the read ing cost of transporting goods to serve the Northern and Southern areas would not be economically viab le. OBJECTIVE: It is Council's objective to encourage and ensure t hat the transport services to the I sl and for cargo be maintained, and that the existing Ports of Port Fitzroy, Whangaparapara , and Shoal Bay be maintained to sufficient standard to ensure the unloading of materials. POLICIES: I. On completion of the metalling and upgrading of the Whangaparapara Road to dispense with the Okupu Bay Wharf for all forms of corrmercial trade. 2. That Port Fitzroy will be maintained to serve the Northern ar eas. 3. Within the planning period tt i.s the Council's intention to repair and upgrade the wharf and ramp facilities at Shoal Bay Tryphena . 4. That all foreshore structures be fully justified . 5. That all structures to be built of sound materials and sited so as to minimise visual and environmental effects. 6. That structures must not cause a hazard to navigation or generate undesirable effects with respect to road t raffic or public recreation. 25 4.3.-Z- FUTURETRENDS There is no reason to suppose that the existing three operators supplying goods to the Barrier will continue to do so over the planning period. In fact the past in dications have been that operators and their modes of tra nsport constantly change, thus there is no guarantee of continued service to the Island for transportation of goods.

The next Hauraki Gulf Islands District Plan will take the islands forward to 2020 and we can only guess the changes that may impact on the Gulf during this time. The review of the District Plan is an opportunity to look at how we contribute to the social, economic, cultural and environmental wellbeing of the islands - factors which contribute to the purpose of the Resource Management Act. The Resource Management Act 1991 requires us to act in a sustainable manner. We need to be able to provide for the needs of present and future generations so that development undertaken today is sustainable in the longer-term.

  • Dog Exercise Areas
    Summary of the public places where dogs are allowed on Great Barrier Island (Great Barrier and Waiheke Local Board areas) This information only applies to park, beach and foreshore areas under the control of Auckland Council or the Department of Conservation. Be a responsible dog owner • Keep your dog under control at all times. • Respect other people’s personal space. Public places are for everyone’s enjoyment and not everyone is fond of dogs. Remember, under control off-leash areas are shared spaces. • Pick up after your dog and carry something (e.g. a bag or pooper scooper) to pick-up your dogs’ faeces. Dog faeces should be disposed of in bins. • Know when your dog will ignore commands: put dog on-leash, shorten leash, or avoid the area altogether - even if you are in an off-leash area. Under control off-leash areas On Great Barrier Island, dogs are allowed under control off a leash in the following areas: • Gooseberry Flat**. Northern end to the bluff, including bluff around to the public toilets and including headland reserve between Gooseberry Flat and Pa Beach. • Okiwi northern side of airstrip next to the Okiwi airfield. Under control on-leash areas Dogs are allowed under control on a leash on all park and foreshore areas not specifically identified as a prohibited or off-leash area. Restricted areas There are areas where you may need a permission to access with your dog or where dog access varies depending on the time of day or year. Beaches on Great Barrier Island: • Dogs are allowed under control off a leash in: o Awana Beach.

  • Aotea/Great Barrier Natural Environment-Islands Monthly Update December & January
    Aotea/Great Barrier Natural Environment-Islands monthly update December & January Prepared for the Great Barrier Local Board 28/01/2020 Aotea Great Barrier Local Board funded programmes Argentine ant & Plague skink surveillance • Rosalie bay Rd – Because of the connectivity with the Mulberry Grove Argentine ant site, sites at top of road were monitored with nothing detected. • A selection of sites between Okiwi airfield and Orama were monitored with neither Argentine ants nor Plague skinks detected. Okiwi Community Pest Coordinator • Rat trapping is continuing, cat trapping will resume in February. • The coordinator is in the process of doing a door to door visit with people revisiting priorities for the project given a number have dropped out of rat trapping. The survey completed in 2017 will be revisited as a prompt, however the visits will be more focused as an opportunity to chat face to face with individuals about where they see the project going. • The results will be available in March 2020. • feedback to date indicates a desire to continue with community led bird counts in addition to the island wide counts, to continue rat trapping on public land, to put more emphasis on rat monitoring than recording every capture on all private land (many are using rat bait or a combo of traps and rat bait). Pest Pathways • Pest pathway ambassadors attended training with Conservation Advisors in December. • Key message: Buy Locally - This message covers three aspects of environmental protection, waste minimisation, low carbon and biosecurity. By reducing freight to Aotea visitors can reduce their carbon footprint and reduce the risk of inadvertently transporting pest species.
