    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.

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.
