  • The Floristic Status of the Aldermen Islands Compared with Other Offshore Islands of the Auckland Province
    61 THE FLORISTIC STATUS OF THE ALDERMEN ISLANDS COMPARED WITH OTHER OFFSHORE ISLANDS OF THE AUCKLAND PROVINCE by D.J. Court* SUMMARY Data shows that the Aldermen Islands possess a reduced indigenous flora compared to that of other offshore islands. The Aldermen have few weeds, but these are more significant because of the reduced flora. A list of adventive weed species is given showing those most frequently found on offshore islands of the Auckland Province. DISCUSSION To obtain any valid comparison of island floras it is necessary to take into account the following influencing factors: (a) Distance from the mainland. (b) Direction of prevailing winds. (c) History of any modification of the vegetation. (d) Area suitable and available for development of "coastal forest". Data for 10 islands or small groups of islands (including the Aldermen Islands) has been collated. Only those islands of the Auckland Province between 70 and 200 hectares in area have been included (Table 1). Large islands such as Mayor, Little Barrier and Hen Island have therefore been excluded from this study. Small rock stacks, such as Old Man Rock and Sail Rock (Atkinson, 1962, 1972) are also excluded. The apparently low proportion of adventive weed species on the Aldermen Islands prompted a comparison based on numbers of weed species in relation to distance offshore (Figs 1 and 2), i.e. were there fewer weed species on islands a greater distance offshore? This was found to be so to a slight extent only, as Cuvier and Burgess Islands have been thoroughly disturbed by grazing stock. All the islands considered have been burned over to a greater or lesser extent by the Maori, except West Island of the Three Kings Group.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.
