  • Assessment of Water & Sanitary Services
    Assessment of Water and Sanitary Services 2005 For the purpose of the water supply assessment Wellington City has been broken down into Brooklyn, Churton, Eastern Wellington, Johnsonville, Karori, Kelburn, Onslow, Southern Wellington, Wadestown, Tawa and Wellington Central. These are based on the MoH distribution zones in which these communities receive similar quality water from its taps. There are three main wastewater catchments in the city terminating at the treatment plants at Moa Point, Karori (Western) and in Porirua City. These will be treated as three communities for the wastewater part of this assessment. There are 42 stormwater catchments, defined by topography, in the Wellington area. These will form the communities for this part of this assessment. Table 1 shows the water, wastewater and stormwater communities in relation to each other. In the case of sanitary services, the community has been defined as the entire area of Wellington City. There are no major facilities (i.e. the hospital, educational institutions or the prisons) that are not owned by Council which have their own water supplies or disposal systems. 2.2 Non-reticulated communities The non-reticulated communities have been separated into the rural communities of Makara, Ohariu Valley, South Karori Horokiwi and the smaller Glenside settlement. Within the Makara community another community can be defined which is the Meridian Village. Within the first four communities all properties have individual methods of collecting potable water and disposing of waste and stormwater. The Meridian village has a combined water and wastewater system. There are 6 properties in Glenside which rely on unreticulated water supply, though there is uncertainty to which houses are served by the Councils wastewater system.

  • Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara
    3 Management sector plans 3.1 Sector 1 Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara A unique feature of this sector is the harbour escarpment and the steep gullies off Onslow Road and Homebush Road. Where topography permits, the bush reserves have been developed to include tracks, with play areas, kick-about space or informal recreation space sometimes also provided. The Outer Green Belt (OGB) extends right down into Broadmeadows, Crofton Downs, Ngaio and Khandallah and provides a prominent natural setting for residential housing in this area and access to the extensive track system. The suburban reserves enhance ecological connectivity between the OGB and the harbour via the large natural gully reserves and smaller pockets of open space. This sector is adjacent to but does not include Trelissick Park or reserves in the Outer Green Belt. The open space network comprises: • One sport and recreation (community) park – Nairnville Park, which has a 3/4 size artificial field, three winter fields, two summer cricket blocks, a skateboard ramp and a community playground. Nairnville Recreation Centre is located on the park and provides a range of indoor recreation activities and programmes, changing rooms and public toilets during its hours of operation. • Kaiwharawhara Park on Hutt Road has one winter field and changing rooms. • Ngaio Tennis Club leases a recreation reserve on the corner of Crofton Road and Waikowhai Street. • 10 neighbourhood parks with a further two, Khandallah Park and play area and Silverstream Road play area, on the edge of this sector managed under the Outer Green Belt Management Plan. • Several large bush reserves.

The ship went down in Cook Strait, only a few kilometres from where the Wahine was wrecked in April 1968, with the loss of 51 lives. Built of iron in 1864, on its Glasgow-Liverpool run the Penguin was reputed to be one of the fastest and most reliable steamers working in the Irish Sea. At the time of the wreck she had served the Union Steam Ship Company for 25 years, most recently on the Lyttelton and Cook Strait run. The Risso’s dolphin known to thousands as Pelorus Jack cavorted round the Penguin’s bows in the early years of the century, but after a collision in 1904 kept its distance — until January 1909 when it suddenly reappeared.

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.
