  • Farming in North Otago
    FARMING IN NORTH OTAGO J. D. CURRIE Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Oarnaru Abstract North Otago is a well-established, efficiently farmed district. Primary production, which grossed an estimated $20 million in the 1973-4 season, will continue to be the major source of regional revenue. The geographic character and the soil resources of the district are described with a comprehensive coverage of historical development, current farming practices and future opportunities for pastoral development. The principal factor limiting agriculture in North Otago is a climate characterized by low, variable rainfall. Pastoral potential is closely tied to investment in oversowing, lucerne and irrigation. Successful farming under difhcult environmental conditions demands above-average ability. The managerial skill of North Otago’s farmers is an outstanding regional resource that augurs well for the future. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION NORTH OTAGO is a well-defined region. The northern, Canterbury, boundary follows the Waitaki River to its snowfield source in the Southern Alps beyond Lake Ohau. Above Kurow are the hydro dams, below Kurow the river remains as a broad natural boundary, flowing in swift braided channels down a bouldery bed to the sea. The southern boundary that isolates North Otago from its parent province is a mountain wall running north-west from Shag Point to the Lindis Pass and on to the Alps. A fork in the mountains that sweep round from Danseys Pass to Kurow divides North Otago into two districts that are distinct in nature and development. Inland, at Omarama, the sparsely populated run country is similar to Central Otago. Below Kurow is the more closely settled country, The moun- tains and foothills are only suited to extensive grazing, but most of the lower country is made up of rolling loessial downs, good natural grassland, much of it arable.

COVID-19 cancelled fieldwork before data collection was complete. The limited data indicate that cyclists are extremely satisfied with the A2O and associated services, and make substantial expenditures associated with their ride. The A2O was a strong attractant to cyclists, the large majority of whom would not have visited the districts in the absence of the trail. Keywords A2O Cycle Trail, tourist attractions, tourism spending, economic attribution model, Mackenzie District, Waitaki District Acknowledgements This project benefitted immensely from the contributions of others. We wish to thank the following people for their generosity and assistance. Waitaki District Council, Tourism Waitaki and Cycle Journeys for their guidance and support. Accommodation providers and visitor centre operators who assisted with the distribution of survey cards. Lincoln University colleagues who peer reviewed the survey instrument. Dr Sally Driml, University of Queensland, for peer review of the survey instrument and the economic attribution model.

  • Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy
    Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy Volume 1 Published by Department of Conservation/Te Papa Atawhai Private Bag 4715 Christchurch New Zealand First published 2000 Canterbury Conservation Management Planning Series No. 10 ISSN: 1171-5391-10 ISBN: 0-478-01991-2 Foreword Canterbury is rich in its variety of indigenous plants and animals, its historic heritage and relics, and its landscapes. Its physical features are dramatic, ranging from the majestic Southern Alps to the Canterbury Plains, from forested foothills to rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. These features also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities. The Department of Conservation’s Canterbury Conservancy is responsible for some 1293 units of land, and for the protection of important natural resources generally. To help manage these resources and activities the Conservancy, in consultation with the then North Canterbury and Aoraki Conservation Boards, has prepared a Conservation Management Strategy (CMS). The CMS sets out the management directions the Conservancy will take for the next ten years, the objectives it wants to achieve and the means by which it will achieve these. The draft CMS was released for public comment on 18 November 1995. Submissions closed on 1 April 1996, and 174 were received. Public oral submissions were heard in May and June of 1996. Consultation with Ngäi Tahu Papatipu Rünanga occurred from July to December 1996, and with Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu from July 1996 to May 1997. A summary of submissions and a decision schedule indicating the extent of acceptance of all submissions was prepared and given full consideration in revising the draft CMS. The revised draft CMS and summary of submissions was presented to the Conservation Boards for their consideration.
