Environment Southland is the brand name of Southland Regional Council Regulatory Committee – 24 July 2019 5 Confirmation of Minutes (Whakaū kōrero) Resolved: Moved Cr Cockburn, seconded Cr McCallum, that the minutes of the Regulatory Committee meeting held on 1 May 2019 be taken as read and confirmed as a true and correct record. Carried 6 Notification of Extraordinary and Urgent Business (He pānui autaia, me hei totoia pākihi) 6.1 Supplementary Reports There were no supplementary reports considered by the meeting. 6.2 Other There were no other items of business raised by Councillors for inclusion in the agenda. 7 Questions (Ngā pātai) Cr Guyton asked what actions Council were taking in response to the letter from the Oraka Aparima Runaka which was in the Southland Times newspaper the day prior to the meeting. The Chair replied that this letter had not been put forward to this Committee and that the letter would go to the Chief Executive and then staff would report back to the full Council. Cr Guyton then asked why staff had not forwarded the letter onto Councillors Chairman Horrell informed the Committee that the Chief Executive had received the letter and he noted that he was both surprised and disappointed that this letter had been leaked to the media, and that Council had not had the opportunity to discuss it with the runaka before it was released. He said that Environment Southland has a good relationship with Iwi and there would be a meeting regarding the content of the letter. The Chair noted that staff had included the letter in the Chairman’s Correspondence Schedule. 8 Chairman and Councillors’ Reports (Ngā Purongo-ā-Tumuaki me ngā Kaunihera) Neither the Chairman nor any Councillors presented reports. Page 2 Regulatory Committee – 24 July 2019 9 Director of Policy, Planning & Regulatory Services’ Report – 19/RC/59 Item 1 – Consents Team Activity and Performance – 1 April to 30 June 2019 Mr Durand spoke to this report and took the report as read. He pointed out that the work load was quite high due to the number of dairy conversions which took place ten years ago, resulting in most of the consents from those conversions now requiring renewal. The Chair enquired about the six old applications which were still in progress and if his team had received any response from the letters that were sent out to the applicants. Mr Durand was not aware of any responses to the letters at the time of the meeting. Cr Hubber asked if Council had to keep the six applications in progress, Mr Durand explained that the RMA does not give a specific tool for dealing with old applications that had gone over time. The Chair noted the applicant is invited to consider withdrawing their application if they were unable to make progress on it. Mr Smith said that a further option is to continue to process the application and decline the consent as a way of wrapping these overtime consent applications up. Cr Rodway declared an interest in the Fiordland Trails Trust application. In response to questions posed Mr Durand said that the hearing date for that particular application had not been set and there was a legal obligation to notify the public ten days before any hearing. The website will be updated as the application progresses. The meeting briefly discussed “calling in” of applications and the current status of the King Salmon application and noted that the King Salmon application had been withdrawn and re-lodged Resolved: Moved Cr McCallum, seconded Chairman Horrell, that Council note the activity and performance of the Consents Division. Carried Item 2 – Environmental Compliance Division Report – 8 April to 5 July 2019 Mr Mapp spoke to this report and took it as read. He highlighted and spoke to the independent analysis work that the SIG group had completed as set out in his report. He informed the committee that this report was the first of its kind and Environment Southland were one of the only regulatory bodies in the environmental space that provides this type of information. He did note that until three or four of these reports were completed it would be difficult to identify trends. The Chair noted that the media was endeavouring to compare different Council’s activities by the number of prosecutions they take against the number of incidents, he wondered if that was a valid measurement? Mr Mapp said that it could be a valid measurement, but cited a prosecution from 2016 that is still not complete as an example of how this could be unfair when used in this context. Page 3 Regulatory Committee – 24 July 2019 In response to questions raised by Cr Rodway in relation to p61 of the report and particularly the linkage between CME operations and environmental outcomes, Mr Mapp advised that the report gave areas to work on. Cr Rodway also commented on the CEs involvement in the day-to-day calls that are being made. He felt more clarity was needed so that it was not perceived that the CE makes the decision if a prosecution goes ahead or not. Mr Smith advised all prosecutions go through a standard investigation and reporting framework. When a prosecution is taken it was referred to legal counsel to review and ensure that it meets crown prosecution guidelines. The matter then goes to the CE who considers the issue on the merits before him. There is a standardised set of criteria which the CE considers in determining whether a prosecution should occur or not, to make sure every issue is treated in a fair and consistent manner. Resolved: Moved Cr Ludlow, seconded Cr McCallum, that Council note the Environmental Compliance Division report for the period 8 April 2019 to 5 July 2019. Carried 10 Extraordinary and Urgent Business (He pānui autaia, me hei totoia pākihi) There were no items of extraordinary or urgent business considered by the meeting. 11 Public Excluded Business (He hui pākihi, e hara mō te iwi) There were no items of public excluded business considered by the meeting. Termination There being no further business, the meeting closed at 2.10pm. Page 4 Regulatory Committee – 13 November 2019 9. Election of Deputy Chair of the Committee Councillors will recall at the Inaugural meeting (held on 29 October 2019) that it was resolved that each of the Principal Standing Committees would elect its own Deputy Chair, in the event that the Chair was unable to attend and/or participate in a meeting.

  • Travel Report 2016-01-8-13 Tuatapere
    8.1.2016 Tuatapere, Blue Cliffs Beach As we depart Lake Hauroko a big herd of sheep comes across our way. Due to our presence the sheep want to turn around immediately, but are forced to walk past us. The bravest sheep walks courageously in the front towards our car... Upon arriving in Tuatapere, the weather has changed completely. It is very windy and raining, so we decide to stop at the Cafe of the Last Light Lodge, which was very cozy and played funky music. Afterwards we head down to the rivermouth of the Waiau and despite the stormy weather Werner goes fishing. While we are parked there, three German tourists get stuck with their car next to us, the pebbles right next to the track are unexpectedly soft. Werner helps to push them out and we continue our way to the Blue Cliffs Beach – the sign has made us curious. We find a sheltered spot near the rivermouth so Werner can continue fishing. He comes back with an eel! Now we have to research eel recipes. 1 9.1.2016 Colac Bay, Riverton The very strong wind has blown away all the grey clouds and is pounding the waves against the beach. The rolling stones make such a noise, it’s hard to hear you own voice. Nature at work… Again we pass by the beautiful Red Hot Poker and finally have a chance to take a photo. We continue South on the 99, coming through Orepuki and Monkey Island. When the first settlers landed here a monkey supposedly helped to pull the boats ashore, hence the name Monkey Island.

  • Whatever Happened to Tuatapere? a Study on a Small Rural Community Pam Smith
    Whatever happened to Tuatapere? A study on a small rural community Pam Smith Pam Smith has worked in the social work field for the past 25 years. She has worked with children and families within the community both in statutory and non-government organisations. She has held social worker and supervisor roles and is currently a supervisory Team Leader at Family Works Southland. This article was based on Pam’s thesis for her Master of Philosophy in Social Work at Massey University. Abstract Social workers working in the rural community do so within a rural culture. This culture has developed from historical and cultural influences from the generations before, from the impact of social and familial changes over the years and from current internal and external influences. These changes and influences make the rural people who they are today. This study was carried out on a small rural community in Western Southland. The purpose was to examine the impact on the community of social changes over the past 50 years. Eight long-term residents were interviewed. The results will be discussed within this article. Introduction Government policies, changes in international trade and markets, environmental policies, globalisation, change in the structure of local and regional government and legislative changes, impacted on all New Zealanders during the past 50 years. The rural hinterland of New Zealand was affected in particular ways. The population in rural communities has been slowly decreasing over the years as ur- banisation has been a reality in New Zealand. Services within the area have diminished and younger families have moved away to seek employment elsewhere.

  • The Soils of Southland and Their Potential Uses E
    THE SOILS OF SOUTHLAND AND THEIR POTENTIAL USES E. J. B. CUTLER, Pedologist, Soil Bureau, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Dunedin The pedologist should concern himself not only with mapping and classification of soils; he should examine the use to which soils are put and the changes that take place under varying kinds of use or misuse. The soil survey is only the starting point; it shows the physical, chemical and genetic characteristics of soils, their distribution and relationship to environment. First of all we are interested in the nature of our soils in their undisturbed native state. We can then~ follow the changes that have taken place with changing farming techniques and try to predict desirable changes or modifications; changes which will not only improve the short term production from the soils, but enable us to maintain long-term, sustained-yield production. These prin- ciples apply equally in the mountains and on the plains. Secondly we are interested in seeing that our soil resources arc used most efficiently; that usage of soils takes place in a logical way and that those concerned .with economics are aware of the limitations of the soil as well as of its potentialities. Thirdly there is the aesthetic viewpoint, perhaps not capable of strict scientific treatment but nonetheless a very important one to all of us as civilised people. There is no reason why our landscape should not be planned for pleasure as well as for profit. THE SOILS OF SOUTHLAND The basic soil pattern of Southland is fairly simple; there are three groups of soils delineated primarily by climatic factors.

  • Anthropogenic Impacts on Waituna Lagoon: Reconstructing The
    i Anthropogenic impacts on Waituna Lagoon: Reconstructing the environmental history Sarai Cosgrove 2011 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Ecology at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand ii iii Abstract Waituna Lagoon is a shallow temperate coastal lagoon in Southland, New Zealand. The 1,350 hectare Waituna Lagoon and associated wetland system is of national and international importance for its unique ecology and the cultural values placed upon it. Waituna is opened to the sea ca. 1-2 times annually, during which time it becomes estuarine. This opening regime has been artificially managed since 1908, with an unknown impact on the lagoon. Since 2007, Waituna appears to have experienced rapid degradation and eutrophication, possibly due to intensification of farming in its catchment. It has rare, extensive beds of the seagrasses Ruppia megacarpa and Ruppia polycarpa, which have been lost from many similar systems due to eutrophication and sedimentation. Waituna Lagoon is currently under active management to preserve its unique ecology, and its restoration to a more natural state is being considered. This study aims to reconstruct Waituna Lagoon’s natural opening regime and Ruppia dynamics, as understanding the natural ecosystem is important for restoration. The hypotheses are: (1) that under a natural opening regime, environmental variations within Waituna Lagoon were less frequent but more extreme; (2) that Ruppia was not present in Waituna Lagoon under a natural opening regime; and (3) that Ruppia was not dominant in Waituna Lagoon under a natural opening regime. Three push cores (130, 83 and 64 cm length) were collected from the sheltered Shand Bay and from the wind-exposed, deepest site in the main lagoon.
