  • South Wairarapa District Plan
    Executive Summary The core purpose of the Wairarapa Coastal Strategy is to enable the community to establish a long term integrated strategy to protect, manage and develop the coastal environment. A major element of the ‘use’ of the Wairarapa coastal environment is the value that it holds as the major recreational playground for the Wairarapa community and visitors to the area. Particularly during the summer months, the coastline provides an attractive environment for recreation. The Access and Recreation Technical Report brings together existing information pertaining to recreation and public access planning in the Wairarapa coastal environment to provide an initial assessment of opportunities and vulnerabilities for recreation and access to the Wairarapa coastal environment. The Resource Management Act 1991 affords priority to protection and enhancement of access to the coastal marine area, provided this is not to the detriment of the principles of sustainable management. A coastal users survey has been prepared to gauge recreation values and recreation resources along the coast. The findings of this survey will be collated into the final version of the report. It is likely that the findings of the survey will identify recreation activities that will need to be controlled as well as priority areas for management or recreation enhancement. The report finds that access to, and use of, the coast for recreational purposes is determined by a range of site-specific characteristics and this varies between individuals and resource users. Conflict between recreationists often results when users access the coastal environment for incompatible recreational activities. Issues such as topography are also a determining factor in the level of recreational use, as are impacts of recreation access on the environment.

Inter­ mittently over the last 30 years much soil work has been done.in the Wairarapa but little of it has been published for the information of the public. Between 1950 and 1968, H. S. ·Gibbs, J. D. Cowie and A. S. Wickens prepared a provisional soil map of the Wairarapa 'Valley'. This map has had limited circulation since. As an extended legend to accompany this soil map has been prepared by J.

  • Soils and Farming Patterns in the Wairarapa
    SOILS AND FARMING PATTERNS IN THE WAIRARAPA A. K. BOOTH Department of Agriculture, Masterton H. S. GIBBS Soil Bureau, DSIR, Lower Hutt SINCE EARLY DAYS, the potential of the Wairarapa as a farming area was realized and New Zealand’s first two sheep stations were established here in 1844. Over two-thirds of the Wairarapa is hill country. The remainder is made up of flats in the main valley, in some coastal areas and other smaller ,river valleys. There are four counties, Eketahuna, Masterton, Wairarapa South and Featherston. The district is bounded on the west by the Tararua Ranges and on the south and east by the sea. The northern boundary runs east from the Tararua Ranges through the area south of Pahiatua to the sea on the west. Masterton is the main centre. The smaller towns are Feather- ston, Martinborough, Greytown, Carterton and Eketahuna. Most of the towns developed during the early days as small sub- divisions, some dating back to the early 1850s. With the im- provement in roading and transport, some of the smaller towns have found it difficult to progress. Access to the Wairarapa has always been a problem and the Rimutaka Ranges have presented both a physical and psychologi cal barrier. CLIMATE The Wairarapa climate is relatively cold in the winter com- pared with most other North Island districts, although the grass still grows. The. summer-#early autumn period is mostly hot and I dry. In the spring and late autumn, conditions are very good except in some autumns a change from hot and dry to cold and wet can occur very quickly.
