Gisborne district has a wealth of heritage both pre and post European contact. This resource provides an identity unique to the people of the Gisborne district and should be recognised and protected. The management of our heritage implies a duty of care and responsibility to pass it on to future generations with the least possible loss. There is a responsibility to record the past for the benefit of future generations. It cannot be achieved alone but should be a community effort with particular emphasis placed on finding the balance between legitimate use of land by landowners and the protection and enhancement of the community heritage resource. The benefits can be considerable and long term particularly in respect of education, cultural and spiritual stability, social well-being, community identity and the efficient use of resources.

Tairāwhiti Fresh water Catchment Plan Areas

Three Structure Plans are currently incorporated into the Plan: The Taruheru Block Infrastructure Plan proposes a layout of key road links. These road links are not just for access, but also provide corridors for infrastructure such as water, wastewater, stormwater, electricity and telecommunications. The proposed roading layout was designed to promote efficiency in these services. The structure plan also promotes alignment of the high voltage electricity lines and the proposed major drainage swale with the roading network so as to minimise safety, amenity and maintenance issues. The Roading Concept Plan for the Rural Industrial A Zone addresses roading layout only and is intended to provide for access for future activities, while minimising the impact of access on the State Highway. The Structure Plan for the Citrus Grove Development Control Area also sets out key linkages for roading, cycleways, walkways, reticulated service corridors, as well as landscape and amenity buffers, and finished ground levels. One key linkage provided for by the Structure Plan is the 10m wide services, cycleway and pedestrian corridor which links the industrial land within the Development Control Area to the Makaraka settlement and Aerodrome Road, thereby providing for logical connectivity between the various existing and proposed urban based land uses

The Airport Protection Overlay Area (APOA) is an overlay illustrated on the urban and rural planning maps that effects the identified land in close proximity to Gisborne Airport and its flight corridors. Rules to protect both Gisborne Airport and land users shall apply to this area. Air Noise Boundary and Outer Control Boundaries identify, in accordance with NZS 6805:1992 “Airport Noise Management and Land Use Planning”, the 55dBA and 65dBA noise limit boundaries, respectively) These noise controls apply for activities associated with the operation of the Airport. This method enables identification of areas in which noise sensitive activities would not be appropriate and recognizes the essential nature of the airport operation to the Gisborne district. Airport Height Control Surfaces: These are air corridors to and from each runway, together with transition side slopes, a horizontal surface and a conical surface laying over and radiating out from the runways. Vegetation and structures are restricted from encroaching into these surfaces.

Background to the Morphum Layer 2022

Under the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 all regional councils are required to map Natural Inland Wetlands in their region. Gisborne District Council engaged Morphum Environmental Ltd to undertake an initial desktop-based mapping assessment of Tairāwhiti wetlands. This assessment, undertaken between 2021 and 2022, is Council’s first step toward satisfying NPS-FM wetland requirements, which include the creation of a geospatial inventory of all Natural Inland Wetlands in Tairāwhiti.Methodology

The Morphum Layer used Aerial imagery and LiDAR elevation data, as well as existing wetland geometry databases and other geospatial data to determine indicative wetland sites.

The wetland assessment considered definitions and classification from the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management (NPS-FM) and the Wetland Types in New Zealand document (Johnson and Gerbeaux, 2004).

Mapping effort was focused on identifying natural wetlands rather than artificial or improved pasture type wetlands. Wetland polygons were smoothed using the Polynomial Approximation with Exponential Kernel (PAEK) method with a smoothing tolerance of 20 m.

Farm ponds smaller than 1,000 m² were not mapped, and some wetlands highly likely to fall under the pasture exclusion criteria or former wetlands were excluded.

Approximately 3500 individual wetlands were delineated and classified across the Motū, Waipaoa, Waiapu, Hangaroa-Ruakituri, Uawa, Waimata, and Wharekahika-Waikura catchments.ResultsRemotely delineating and classifying wetlands is challenging due to the ecological variability and transitional nature of these ecosystems. Wetland boundaries fluctuate both seasonally and annually as changing weather conditions affect the water table and vegetation present.

As this is a provisional assessment, not all of these sites will be wetlands under the NPS-FM. The Morphum Layer should be viewed as showing indicative wetland sites—a starting point for further investigation and discussion of wetland extent, class, and wetland values. The next step is to determine which sites meet that definition.

This layer shows the Tairawhiti Freedom camping sites as prescribed in the Gisborne District Council Freedom Camping Bylaw 2021.The purpose of this bylaw is to regulate freedom camping in order to protect public access, public health and safety and the environment of the area, including the district’s beaches, dunes and rivers from harm.This bylaw achieves this purpose by:defining the areas in the district where freedom camping is restricted or prohibited; andproviding for the restrictions that apply to freedom camping in areas where freedom camping is restricted so that while freedom camping in these areas is encouraged, the areas, access to the areas, and the health and safety of people who may visit the areas, are protected.
