Wellington Regional TRAILS FOR THE FUTURE A strategic framework for trails in the Wellington Region ii Wellington Regional Trails for the Future Executive Summary Introduction The Wellington region sits on the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island and contains some outstanding trail-based experiences and the potential to significantly grow the use of outdoor trails. Many other destinations internationally are growing their trail-based tourism infrastructure, marketing, and cooperative efforts to capitalise on their region’s strengths in order to offer world class experiences. The Wellington region has the potential to be such a destination, adding to its already very successful positioning as a capital city with a great cultural scene based on Te Papa and other assets and events, and a thriving food, wine and craft beer scene.

  • Mana Island Ecological Restoration Plan
    6. Restoration of non-forest communities While restoring forest cover to Mana Island is one of the key steps in the restoration programme, restoring forest to most or all of the island would jeopardise the survival of several resident threatened animal and plant species, and reduce the habitat available for some of the threatened animal and plant species proposed for translocation. Cook Strait giant weta are widely regarded as preferring low-growing shrubs and forest margins to the forest interior (Meads 1990), and since removal of stock and mice from Mana Island, giant weta have become abundant throughout the rank pasture. Giant weta are not found in the interior of the forest remnant on Mana Island, and it is likely that their numbers will decline on the island as the forest cover returns. Both of the threatened lizard species resident on Mana Island (McGregor's skink and goldstripe gecko) occur in non-forest habitats on the island. It is expected that both will spread into forest habitats, but possibly at lower densities to where they currently occur in coastal shrublands and flax respectively. Many animal species proposed in this Restoration Plan for translocation to Mana Island prefer or require non-forest habitats: grassland (takahe, snipe, spotted skink), wetlands (brown teal, banded rail, fernbird), flax (flax weevil), shrublands (rock wren) or herbfields (speargrass weevil). Four of the five threatened plant species that survived on Mana Island occur in non- forest communities (Cook's scurvy grass, Melicytus obovatus, rengarenga, Jersey fern), and most of the threatened plants identified as suitable for planting on the island occur in coastal shrublands and herbfields rather than forest.

  • Wellington City Council Quarterly Report
    Wellington City Council Quarterly Report January – March 2008 9835 PDWCC6 A message from the Chief Executive Wellington City Council Quarterly Report – January to March 2008 In March Wellington City Councillors approved the 2008/09 Draft Annual Plan – the first since the Council signed up to its vision of a carbon-neutral Wellington. Carbon neutrality is an ambitious vision that will require significant effort by the Council, central government, businesses and residents. This year's draft plan includes initiatives that if approved, will be small but potentially significant steps towards achieving our goal. One proposal is to generate electricity or LPG from sewage sludge at the Southern Landfill using a bioreactor. In this quarter we established a Climate Change Office to provide a focus for the Council's work on reducing corporate and community greenhouse gas emissions and working toward the goal of carbon neutrality. Early projects for the team include developing a robust methodology for measuring corporate emissions, establishing carbon sinks on Council reserve land using the Government’s Permanent Forest Sink Initiative (PFSI) mechanism, developing sustainable vehicle and green building standards, and supporting the World Environment Day. Other key highlights for the third quarter included: Supporting two major bike events: the Go By Bike Day which saw almost 900 cyclists gathered in Civic Square to enjoy a free breakfast and entertainment; and Bike the Bays which was supported by 1525 cyclists. Supporting successful Waitangi Day celebrations at Waitangi Park and the inaugural Absolutely Pasifika Festival at Frank Kitts Park. Opening the new water play and hydrotherapy services facilities at the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre.

  • Wellington City Council Quarterly Report
    Wellington City Council Quarterly Report October – December 2007 PDWCC67154 A message from the Chief Executive Wellington City Council Quarterly Report – October to December 2007 The lead up to Christmas was a busy time for Wellington City. This quarter included the Local Body Elections, the inauguration of the new Council, high-profile events, and the Council achieving a number of significant milestones. With regard to the environment and sustainability, the Council: • furthered its commitment to making Wellington a carbon-neutral city by presenting a draft Climate Change Action Plan • became one of the first councils in the country to take part in the Government’s public place recycling initiative. Recycling bins are being placed in locations around central Wellington. The Convention Centre also became the first venue of its kind to achieve the ISO 14001 environmental standard. Projects and programmes progressed this quarter included the completion of Cog Park and the opening of the Mount Victoria lookout by the Mayor. Consultation was undertaken on key projects, including the design of the Indoor Community Sports Centre and the upgrade plans for Central Park. The summer calendar of events kicked off in style with the arrival of the LA Galaxy football team and its star player David Beckham. Around 15,000 people, including school children, attended the training session and a crowd of 35,000 watched the match against the Wellington Phoenix. The Pelorus Trust Sky show also attracted a large crowd for the annual fireworks display and families celebrated the start of the festive season with the annual Farmers Santa Parade. This Quarterly Report provides an update on the Council’s consolidated financial performance for the year to date and sets out operational and financial progress towards delivering the outcomes and activities approved in the Council’s Annual Plan.

Key Native Ecosystem plans New Zealand’s indigenous biodiversity continues to decline nationally, and in the Wellington region. Major reasons for the decline are that native species are preyed on or outcompeted by invasive species and ecosystems and habitats are lost or degraded through human resource use and development. Active management to control threats is required to protect indigenous biodiversity. Regional councils have responsibility to maintain indigenous biodiversity, as well as to protect significant vegetation and habitats of threatened species, under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). Greater Wellington Regional Council’s (GWRC’s) vision for biodiversity is: “The Wellington region contains a full range of naturally occurring habitats and ecosystems that are in a healthy functioning state and supporting indigenous biodiversity” GWRC’s Biodiversity Strategy 2011-211 provides a common focus across the council’s departments, and guides activities relating to biodiversity. One of its goals is: High value biodiversity areas are protected. In order to achieve this vision and goal, the Key Native Ecosystem (KNE) programme seeks to protect some of the best examples of ecosystem types in the Wellington region by managing, reducing, or removing threats to their values.
