CounCil Vision

Creating an exciting, innovative, safe, caring and friendly City offering lifestyles based on a healthy environment and diverse growing economy.

CounCil has identified Key ProjeCts to assist with aChieVing the Vision

imPlementationThe Vision takes a 30-year horizon. Its implementation will be prioritised to ensure affordability matters are considered as well as

community support. Working together with people and organisations is important in achieving the Vision.

One of the benefits of being your Mayor is that I’m constantly

flying above the city. Invercargill is a beautiful, dazzling jewel of

a city at 500 feet. And if you are fortunate enough to be sitting

by a window you may be able to gaze across a magnificent light

show. It’s like visiting a hundred Gimblett Places at the same

time during Christmas. There are not many cities in the world

where regular commercial aircraft fly so low above the CBD.

The aim of the Spatial Plan is to give us all such a revealing

overview of our proud city and how we view its development.

This is an aspirational, visionary document and Council thanks

the community for its feedback.

Tim Shadbolt

ord

are the main suburban centres for retail, entertainment and

some services.

• The Community Precints are areas that share some form of

common identity or interest. In many cases they are based

on existing schools.

Identifying the Inner City, the Suburban Nodes and the

Community Precints in this way enables those making decisions

to better understand the structure of the community. The

Council can reinforce the identity of the Inner CIty, the

Suburban Nodes and the Community Precincts in many ways eg.

in the way it arranges its roading, walkway and cycle lane links.

The Spatial Plan reflects corporate knowledge. This has been

gathered in three ways:

• In January 2011 the Councillors undertook a spatial planning

exercise at their weekend workshop in Te Anau.

• In December 2010 senior staff also undertook a spatial

planning workshop.

• The Spatial Plan also reflects the knowledge of senior staff,

about Invercargill.

The Spatial Plan has been through a process of consultation,

and it has been reconsidered in response to that consultation.

It now reflects the community’s and the Council’s vision of

Invercargill and the way it can realistically and sensibly be

encouraged to develop and, in places, redevelop. As such, it is

a valuable reference document for decision making by both the

Council itself and also by the private sector.

This Spatial Plan for Invercargill sets out in mapped form the

long-term (30 year) strategic direction for the city.

Spatial Plans are used widely overseas, often for large

metropolitan areas subject to rapid growth. Their usefulness

lies in the way they record, on a set of maps, the spatial context

of decisions made and directions established in the other types

of plans the Council is required to prepare. For example, the

Council is required to prepare asset management plans for

reticulated services, parks management plans, activity plans for

the ways it delivers services, and a District Plan for managing

land use, but until now there has not been one document which

shows the strategic thinking behind all these plans in relation to,

say, South Invercargill.

This Spatial Plan reflects the Council’s vision for the City, ie.

“Creating an exciting, innovative, safe, caring and friendly

City offering lifestyles based on a healthy environment and a

diverse, growing economy.”

This Spatial Plan is deliberately simple. It shows as much as

possible in map form. Text has been kept to a minimum, and

attempts to articulate the values of parts of the city, and the

issues that need to be addressed in relation to those values.

Frequent mention is made of history and culture – Invercargill is

rich in both.

The Plan introduces a heirarchy of Community Nodes and

Community Precincts.

• The Inner City is the principal commercial, retail and

entertainment service centre of Invercargill.

• The Suburban Nodes at Waikiwi, Windsor and South City

introduction

The MapsThe maps for the Spatial Plan have been developed from the existing District Plan maps. In some instances, there is no “new”

information for that map. These maps have been omitted as indicated on the map index.

Information on hazard - especially inundation and storm surge - is an important dimension of the Spatial Plan. In order to keep the maps

as legible as possible, the hazard information is shown as a separate map.

For the same reason, the Council’s current planned network of Walking Tracks and Cycle Lanes is also mapped separately.

acknowledgeMenTFrequent mention is made in the text to the following publications:

• The cry of the People: The Tangi a Tauira. Ngai Tahuki Murihiku Natural Resource and Environmental Management Plan 2008.

• What’s in a Name: The Origin of the Street and Suburb Names of Invercargill, Bluff, Otatara. Wendy McArthur 2006.

norTh road Values:

• An area of highly versatile and productive soils near to

Invercargill.

• A clear “edge” to urban Invercargill, defining both city and

country in landscape terms.

• A convenient and central location for activities which service

the rural community.

• Opportunities for rural living close to the city.

Issues:

• There is a need to better define a “gateway” to the city.

The roundabout at the intersection of North Road and the

Riverton – Lorneville – Dacre Highway is now the gateway to

Invercargill. The State Highway south to Invercargill needs

appropriate landscaping – perhaps as an avenue of deciduous

trees.

• Network corridors and their functionality need to be

protected:

· State Highways (to protect functionality, access points to a

State Highway have to be limited).

· The rail corridor.

· The water mains linking the city with the city supply at

Branxholme.

· Overhead electricity network lines 110 kV or greater.

· A potential road corridor alongside the rail corridor to the

west of North Road.

• There is potential for “ribbon development” which could

compromise the functionality of network corridors and result

in increased in demand for services.

• Options should be kept open for rural servicing or light

industrial activities oriented to the rural sector (not “big box”

retail which belongs in or near the Invercargill City Centre),

in the area to the west of North Road extending as far as the

rail corridor, south of the Riverton Highway. If this option

is developed an internal roading system would be required.

Consideration would need to be given to reticulated services

and how they would be funded. In the longer term, this

could be extended to the east conditional on development of

roading access.

• Open space: Some form of green space to the north of

properties fronting Moores Road to provide a buffer between

the residential area and any future rural servicing activity

would be desirable.

• There is a need to collaborate with the Southland District

Council on common rural issues.

norTh road/waIkIwIValues:

• Important network corridors pass through this area.

• An area of highly versatile and productive soils near to

Invercargill.



• A convenient and central location for activities which service

the rural community eg. farming supplies.


• The suburban shopping centre of Waikiwi established where

tram lines terminated. It has developed as a main suburban

shopping centre.

• Waikiwi is on high ground and is within easy walking and

cycling range of a significant area of the city.

• Waikiwi is a logical focus for activities such as supermarkets

and cafes that have a local clientele and that benefit from

locating near to each other.

• Prestonville industrial area – location of a significant number

of enterprises on which the city depends.

• Historical: “Waikiwi means water bird. It was often written

Waikivi in the early days….” (Wendy McArthur)

• People often identify with a particular area of town where

they may have grown up, lived for a long time, and developed

links with people and associations with places.

• The city is richer if these (often historical) communities can be

identified and their identity enhanced.

Issues:

• Protecting functionality of network corridors:

· State Highways (to protect functionality, access points to a

State Highway have to be limited).

· The rail corridor.

· The water mains linking the city with the city supply at

Branxholme.

· Overhead electricity network lines 110 kV or greater.

· A potential road corridor alongside the rail corridor to the

west of North Road.

• Avoiding “inappropriate” development on lower-lying flood-

prone land.

• Management of the relationship between the enterprises and

residents in nearby areas to maintain what each values about

the area.

• Planning for staged residential expansion:

• “Suburban density” – potential for residential development on

the higher ground in the area bounded by North Road, McIvor

Road, and Donovan Park, including extension of Northwood

Avenue to meet with North Road and its associated funding.

• Reinforcing and developing Waikiwi as a place where people

gather, do business, and socialise.

• Find relevant contemporary uses for the site and buildings

previously occupied by the Waikiwi School.

• Consideration of a ring road on both sides of the city ie. west

and east. The route of which would be determined when the

need arises and the route shown on the map is only one of the

options to be considered.

Invercargill.




• Potential for urban expansion.

• Anderson Park – a bequest, a destination park and heritage

gallery.

• Donovan Park – purchased in the 1960s in anticipation of

urban growth.






Issues:

• Defining “edge” to urban Invercargill to allow for some

Racecourse Road.

• Avoiding “inappropriate” development on lower-lying flood-

prone land.

• Maintaining options for future agricultural use of versatile

soils.

• Planning for staged residential expansion:

· “Large lot” residential development (active and deferred

zoning) in the block bounded by McIvor Road, Retreat

Road, Bainfield Road and Neas Road.

· “Large lot” residential development potential in the area

south of Bainfield Road between Queens Drive and the

unformed part of Racecourse Road.

· “Suburban density” – deferred residential development

potential in the block bounded by Donovan Park, Bainfield

Road, Retreat Road and McIvor Road.

· “Suburban density” – residential development potential

on the higher ground in the area bounded by North Road,

McIvor Road, and Donovan Park.

· Determining the appropriate level of reticulated services.

• The farmed area of Donovan Park has potential for

development for residential purposes and such options need

to be considered.

• Location of a significant number of enterprises on which the

city depends.

• Scenic – links with the Waihopai River and New River Estuary.

• Avenal – an older suburban precinct on higher land close to

• Management of noise effects in relation to the airport.

• Wise long-term management of actually or potentially

contaminated lands.

• Wise long-term management of areas that are already

developed but are subject to hazard, because they are low-

lying and/or subject to liquefaction.

• Wise long-term management of areas outside the Invercargill

City Centre so that options are kept open for industrial

and servicing types of activities, and retail activities are

encouraged to locate where they relate to and enhance the

Invercargill City Centre.

• Improving links between City and water spaces.

• Residential – potential for higher densities in Avenal east of

“Invercargill” with such iconic buildings as the Water Tower,

heritage churches - First Church, St Johns Church, the Basilica

– hotels – the Kelvin, the Grand - the Civic Theatre; and such

iconic institutions as H & J Smiths, and E Hayes & Sons.

• It is where people gather – to work, to socialise, to attend

concerts and performances, to perform democratic duties and

functions, to eat food together, to associate with and be seen

by their peers, to celebrate or to demonstrate.

• Because it is where people gather it is where most of the

shops are and they are another reason for people to gather.

social and geographic issues relating to the Invercargill City

Centre.

• Priority A. City centre communication and promotion

· Development of a promotion strategy for the city.

QUeens parkValues:

• Queens Park – a much loved and used open space that has

become an Invercargill icon.

• The Southland Museum and Art Gallery and the Feldwick

Gates - also an Invercargill icon.

• The Town Belt – helps define the character of the city.

• Network corridors – State Highway 1, and the main trunk

railway, and major urban roads like Elles Road and Queens

Drive.

• Important city infrastructure eg. the water distribution

facilities including the historic Water Tower.

• The suburban shopping and business centre of Windsor

established where tram lines terminated. It has developed as

a main suburban shopping and business centre.

• Windsor is on high ground and is within easy walking and

cycling range of much of the city.

• Windsor is a logical focus for activities such as supermarkets

and cafes that have a local clientele and that benefit from


• Surrey Park is the site of many of Invercargill’s sporting

venues, including Stadium Southland and the Velodrome.

• The residential area south of Tweed Street and bounded by

the Town Belt contains some of Invercargill’s notable heritage

houses and heritage precincts.




• The city is richer if these (often historical) communities of

interest can be identified and their identity enhanced.

• Today, schools still tend to be focal points of communities.

• Historical: Windsor was named after the English town of

Windsor, not the Royal family. (Wendy McArthur)

• Central City (refer to text for Map 9)

Issues:

• Maintaining the integrity of Queens Park and the Town Belt as

open spaces.

• Locating the Visitor Information Centre where it will best meet

the needs of the travelling public.

• Improving links with Queens Park (the busy roads which

surround it, especially Queens Drive, are a barrier to access

from nearby residential areas).

• Maintaining functionality of network corridors and important

city infrastructure.

• Strengthening the character of Windsor as a place to gather,

do business and socialise.

• Creating options for redevelopment to enhance community

use, possibly by strategic land purchase eg. to form a “village

green” at Windsor, or to enable some areas in need of renewal

to redevelop at higher densities but also with high levels of

amenity.

• Creating options for new residential zonings, particularly

where they relate to existing centres such as Windsor, where

higher densities are encouraged.

• Improving links between Surrey Park sporting facilities and

Tay Street. Surrey Park needs a better ‘presence’ on Tay

Street.

• Encouraging activities serving or marketing to local

communities to locate near schools, which often form a focus

for community life.

• Enhancing the cohesion of precincts/communities of interest,

and the links between them through planning of roadways,

cycleways and walkways.

ascoTValues:

• Racecourse Road and Rockdale Road form a well-defined

“edge” to the built-up area. (A compact and well-defined

urban form is more economical to service and therefore more

sustainable.) It also contributes to the character of the city.

• Network corridors – State Highway 1 and the Main Trunk

Railway.

• Cultural significance – location of the Eastern Cemetery.

• Opportunities for rural or lifestyle living close to the city.

• Community significance – location of the Racecourse/

Showgrounds.

• Versatile and potentially highly productive soils – especially

north of Oteramika Road.

• Onslow Street/Otepuni Avenue Industrial area – location of a

significant number of enterprises on which the city depends.

• Today, schools still tend to be focal points of communities.

• Potential for urban expansion.

• Historical – Glengarry – named after the valley beside the

River Garry south of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.

Nearby, Glengarry is the name of the parish church in the

village of Invergarry. (Wendy McArthur)

• Suburban shopping and business area of Glengarry.






Issues:

• Better defining a “gateway” to the city on State Highway 1.

An opportunity for this may occur with traffic management

improvements at the intersection of Tay Street and

Racecourse/Rockdale Roads.

• Maintaining a well-defined “edge” to urban development.

• Maintaining the integrity of the network corridors.

• Keeping options open for future agricultural use of versatile

soils.

• Strengthening the character and viability of the Glengarry

shopping centre as a place to shop, socialise and do business.

(Glengarry is not on the same scale as Waikiwi, Windsor or

South City, but is a valued local centre.)


adverse amenity effects on residential neighbours.

• Management of the relationship between the enterprises and

residents in nearby areas to maintain what each values about

the area.


communities to locate near schools, which tend to be a focus

for community activities.

• Enhancing the cohesion of precincts/communities of interest,

and the links between them through planning of roadways,

cycleways and walkways.

• Planning for residential expansion:

· Potential for urban deferred zoning south of Centre Street

and west of Rockdale Road.

· There is also potential for further ‘lifestyle’ development in

the Ascot Heights area south of Oteramika Road.

oreTI Beach Values:

• Oreti Beach is a regionally significant place for swimming,

beach recreation, and surfing.

• Oreti Beach is a regionally significant source of seafood/kai

moana.

• The hamlet on Oki Street and Pacific Avenue offers the

opportunity to live near the beach.

• Landscape values - a wild and scenic beach landscape close to

the city.

• Dunes, wetlands and other natural features which form a

coastal protection zone.

• The Oreti River - scenic values and recreational potential.

Issues:

• Agencies responsible for the beach need to work together

(Oreti Beach is in the Coastal Marine Area, outside the District

Plan, but still inside the City District boundary). Invercargill

citizens are vitally interested in maintaining and enhancing

the beach environment.

• Conservation management of the sand dunes – they have

environmental values in their own right and are also a first

line of defence against extreme storm events.

• Conservation management of the inter-tidal environment and

habitat.

• Maintenance of public access and the freedom to enjoy varied

activities without harming the environment. (Vehicle access

to the beach can be managed but trail bikes and 4WDs must

be kept out of the sand dunes.)

• Management of settlement so as not to intrude on areas of

ecological significance or that are hazard-prone, and so as not

to create demands for extra services.

• Maintenance of landscape values.

• Addressing on-going land management issues on collaboration

with Environment Southland.

Values:

• “Invercargill’s playground” - a regionally significant recreation

area managed under the Reserves Act by the ICC.

• Is “home” for a wide range of sporting activities that need

space near to but not necessarily within a city eg. Teretonga

motor racing, gun sports, field sports, mountain biking.

• Is a destination for informal recreation with its well-formed

and popular walking and running tracks.

• Is a location where a wide variety of activities, which could be

incompatible, co-exist in reasonable harmony.

Values:

• “(Otatara is) an area that includes large properties, a

high degree of privacy, scenic values and protection and

enhancement of native vegetation.” (Plan Change #9 –

Section 32 report, Invercargill City Council).

• Lowland forest remnants that are considered regionally, even

nationally, significant.






Issues:

• Agencies responsible for the river need to work together (the

river is in the Coastal Marine Area below Dunns Road bridge).

• Maintaining water quality appropriate to recreation use.

• Fair and equitable management of limited water space for

multiple recreational uses.

• Management of natural hazard, especially riverbank erosion .

• Maintenance and enhancement of scenic quality.

• Addressing issues of siltation in the lower Oreti River

Issues:

• Agencies responsible for the beach and the reserve area

adjoining the beach need to work together (Oreti Beach is in the

Coastal Marine Area, outside theDistrict Plan, but still inside the

City District boundary. Sandy Point is a reserve and as such is

managed by the Invercargill City Council under the Reserves Act.)

• Conservation management if the sand dunes - they have

environmental values in their own right and are also a first line of

defence against extreme storm events.

• Conservation Management of the inter-tidal environment and

habitat.

• Maintenance of public access and the freedom to enjoy caried

activities without harming the environment.

• Management of settlement so as not to intrude on areas that are

hazard-prone, and so as not to create demands for extra services.

• Maintenance of landscape values.

Values:

• The city’s playground for a wide range of aquatic sports and

recreation.

• People enjoy views of the river – from Sandy Point and from

Otatara.

Issues:

• Conservation of the remaining indigenous vegetation and

landscape features, particularly dunes.

• Controlling development and density to retain semi-rural/

large lot lifestyle ambience.

• Reinforcing the “Otatara Precinct” centred on the Otatara

Primary School. (This is the area where any activities with

a community focus would best be located and where traffic

might be slowed or managed.)

• Managing effects of noise from Sandy Point and from traffic

on Dunns Road.

• Maintenance of the Stead Street/Dunns Road network

corridor.

• Avoiding inappropriate development of hazard-prone areas.

new rIVer esTUaryValues:

• “The Estuary should be

· A city playground – a family environment, allow for varied

water sports.

· A symbol of Invercargill – an estuary on display.

· A significant habitat – native species exist alongside

humanity, a refuge for freshwater and marine species, a

spawning ground, a feeding and roosting area.

· A retreat – an opportunity to experience a natural setting,

where the estuary predominates as an ecosystem and

human influences are unobtrusive.

· A place of learning – where people can discover the

heritage of Southland, where people can gain an

understanding of a natural unique ecosystem, the interface

of land, sea and freshwater, where through research

a programme for restoration of the estuary can be

developed.

· A food basket – where there are no health risks from

consuming the products of recreational fishing and

shellfish gathering.

· An opportunity for commercial use – allowing for

commercial uses which are in harmony with nature and

other uses.

· A place with historical and geological values.”

Regional Coastal Plan for Southland as quoted in The Cry of the People – Te Tangi a Tauira Ngai Tahu ki Murihiku Natural Resource and Environmental Iwi Management Plan 2008. (Page 195)

Issues:

• Maintaining the viability of the New River Estuary as a water

body – receiving run-off from a very large catchment.

• Maintaining and enhancing existing values as landscape/

seascape, and for recreation.

• Developing the Invercargill - Bluff Cycle Track.

clIFTonValues:


• Important city infrastructure – the Waste Water Treatment

Plant at Clifton – is located here.

• Location of Southland’s public hospital.

• Planning in the 1960s saw this as an area for significant

expansion, anticipated at that time as a result of down-

stream industries associated with the (then) new Tiwai Point

aluminium smelter.

• The suburban shopping centre of South City

· established where tram lines terminated.

· has developed as a main suburban shopping and business

centre.

· is on high ground and is within catchments of much of the

city.

· is a logical focus for activities such as supermarkets and

cafes that have a local clientele and that benefit from


• Historical. South City/Strathern was part of an area bought in

1856 by early settler John Kelly. It was originally like a glen or

wooded area beside Earn Street. Elles Road was named after

Captain Andrew Jamieson Elles, master of the immigrant ship

Philip Laing. Martin St was named after George Frederick

Martin, early real estate agent. (Wendy McArthur)






Issues:

• Protecting the functionality of the Bluff Highway, the

Invercargill-Bluff railway, and the water and sewerage lines

serving Awarua and Bluff.

• Protecting the functionality of the Waste Water Treatment

Plant at Clifton and keeping options open for its development

and expansion.

• Protecting the functionality of Southland Public Hospital at

Kew.

• Planning for possible urban expansion - possible urban

deferred zonings are indicated on the maps.

• Developing the potential for “greenways” to improve

the structure of this part of the city, helping to define

neighbourhoods or precincts and the links between them, eg.

the development of the “Southern Greenway” along the route

of the old railway adjacent to Scott Street.

• Improving the provision and development of local

neighbourhood reserve and amenity areas to a level

comparable with other areas of Invercargill.

• Encouraging the long-term restoration of the indigenous

vegetation near Southland Hospital by community groups.

• Strengthening the character of South City as a place to

gather, do business and socialise:

· Strategic land purchase may offer options for

redevelopment eg. to form a village green at South City.

· This area could form the focus of new residential zonings

where higher densities are encouraged on the higher

areas.


communities to locate near schools, which are often centres

for community activities.

• Planning walkways and cycleways to enhance the cohesion

of precincts/communities of interest, and the links between

them.

• Further enhancing precincts by open space planning, street

naming, and finding ways to record and tell stories associated

with places.

TIsBUryValues:

• Well-defined “edge” to urban development.

• Significant network corridors:

· along the line of the Bluff Highway and the Invercargill-

Bluff railway.

· along the route of the overhead electricity network lines

110 kV or greater to the east.

· water, power and communication links between Invercargill

and Bluff.

• Major industrial estate at Awarua.

• Waimahaka Creek.

• Planning in the 1960s saw this as an area for significant

residential expansion.

Issues:

• Maintaining a well-defined edge to urban development (A

compact and well-defined urban form is more economical to

service and therefore more sustainable).

• Planning for possible urban expansion - possible urban

deferred zonings are indicated on the map.

• Maintaining the integrity of the network corridors.

• Protecting the functionality of the industrial estate at Awarua

– both existing enterprises and the potential for additional

activities.

• Protecting low-lying areas on either side of Waimahaka Creek

from inappropriate development.

• Wise long-term management of low-lying areas that may be

subject to hazard, including sea-level rise.

• Managing the stormwater drainage from the Awarua industrial

estate so as not to significantly modify the character and

intensity of runoff.

oMaUIValues:

• “A small village, sitting snugly, guards the mouth of the New

River Estuary. An area steeped in history, of importance to

both early Maori and to the development of Invercargill and

Southland, it still offers much to all.” Omaui Concept Plan

2010 – Introduction by Alan Champion

• “The Omaui Greenhills area near Bluff was a very important

area for Maori and although it did not support a large

population, it was occupied over a very long period of time.

The principal settlements were at Omaui and Te Kaika a

Te Wera, slightly west of the once Ocean Beach Freezing

Works.” The Cry of the People – Te Tangi a Tauira Ngai

Tahu ki Murihiku Natural Resource and Environmental Iwi

Management Plan 2008. (Page 197)

• Omaui precinct includes the village and the peninsula.

• Village to remain a rural residential township.

• Historical. Maori place names indicate a rich heritage of

cultural association with this area eg. Ka Puke Taumaha - “the

Heavy Hills”, so named by the Maori, to whom they appeared

to be tired and leaning on one another;

eg. Te Ahi Rari (Greenhills). In pre-European times Maori

visitors carved up the harbour to Greenhills where they left

their canoes and walked overland to Omaui which was the

main Kaika (village) at the time.

· Tuatakiwa: Place names of Rakiura, Ruapuke and Awarua.

Harold Ashwell

Issues:

• Need to maintain, develop and improve recreational/tourist

activities and attractions to increase the reasons to visit

Omaui – especially beach access and walkways through ICC

and DoC reserve land and to the ocean coast.

• Protecting landscape values and character.

• Protecting heritage values and enhancing an appreciation of

the history and cultural significance of the area, eg. Stanley

Town.

• Progressing the implementation of the Omaui Concept Plan.

• Adressing issues of coastal erosion.

awarUa - IndUsTrIalValues:

• A large area of land developed and available for industry. Its

flat terrain, proximity to Invercargill and to the Port of Bluff,

proximity to network corridors, and proximity to both railway

and State Highway make this area one of the most suitable

areas for new larger industry in the South Island. This area

is important in enabling Invercargill to maintain economic

critical mass and provide for its future.

• Significant network corridor, along the line of the Bluff

Highway and the Invercargill-Bluff railway.

• Some areas are low-lying and have retained, to varying

degrees, environmental values of wetland areas.

• Historical – the Awarua Radio station site.

• Ecological - the Awarua Wetlands.

Issues:

• Staged development of the Awarua industrial area.

• Maintain the integrity of the network corridor.

• Manage drainage and land use to minimise and mitigate

adverse effects on wetland areas.

• Maintaining the heritage values of the area, in particular

through appropriate management of the site of Awarua Radio.

“It’s a long trip to Southland, even by godwits’ standards. The

deep south of New Zealand is about as far as these long-distance

travellers get from their Northern Hemisphere breeding grounds.

“The godwits are not the only international travellers here: more

than 20 other Arctic species also make the annual migration

from the far side of the planet to the Awarua Wetlands. Regulars

include several species that are rarely seen in New Zealand,

including the grey-tailed tattler, sanderling and greenshank.

“The wetlands are also frequented by shorter-distance avian

commuters: about a third of the entire southern New Zealand

dotterel population fly here from the mountain tops of Stewart

Island/Rakiura to winter over in Awarua Bay.

“Then there are the locals, who don’t bother going anywhere –

like the fernbirds which flit about year-round among the boggy

Awarua peatlands and shrublands.

“Awarua Wetlands’ 16,000 hectares form one of the five major

wading bird habitats in New Zealand, and a total of 81 bird

species have been recorded here.

“The wetlands are also rich in diverse and unusual plant

communities. Plants normally found in alpine areas grow near sea

level here. Alpine-like bog cushion, bladderworts, sundews and

southern shore gentian mosses, and the largest coastal lowland

red tussock remnant in New Zealand grow alongside an incredible

diversity of wetland habitats and plants: bogs and peatlands, pea

gravel beaches and shell banks, manuka shrublands and mudflats,

saltmarsh and mature kahikatea forest.

“Such diversity supports not only birds, but an outstanding

variety of freshwater fish, lizards and invertebrates – including

more than 100 moth species.” Forest and Bird, 2008

A rich diversity of habitats:

• Dune systems

• Flax land

• Red tussock land

• Shrubland

Number of wetland types – Blanket Bog, Cushion Bog, tarns,

ephemeral wetlands, estuaries, lagoons.

Issues

• Ensuring ongoing viability of the wetland ecosystems.

• Address on-going land management issues in collaboration

with the Department of Conservation, the Southland District

Council and Environment Southland.

BlUFF harBoUrValues:

• Bluff - “Where the highway begins” - is a prosperous, vibrant

and attractive port town for residents and visitors. Bluff

Concept Plan 2002

• “Bluff Harbour is an expanse of water almost totally enclosed

by land … It has always been an important source of kaimoana

for local Maori people ... There were also a number of burial

sites around Tiwai and the Omaui area ... for these reasons it

is unacceptable to the tangata whenua to have the harbour or

its surrounds polluted in any way.” Te Whakatau Kaupapa o

Murihiki, page 60.

• Landscape – a wide expanse of shoal water, its appearance

constantly changes in response to weather, tide and time of

day.

• Heritage. Maori place names of many features around Bluff

Harbour indicate a rich heritage.

• The Port of the Southland Region, with deep water access for

shipping.

• Water quality of a sufficient standard for marine farming.

• Areas in the vicinity of the Island Harbour, and the deeper

water channels in the western part of the harbour, are a

regionally significant recreation resource for small boat

sailing, rowing, and small craft moorings.

• The upper part of the harbour, north of Te Kore Island, is a

large expanse of water, relatively free of strong tidal currents,

and eminently suitable for small boat and windsurfer sailing

and racing (on the top half of the tide). This potential should

be maintained and enhanced.

• Awarua Bay, to the east of the Tiwai bridge, was used until

quite recently for small boat sailing and racing and also for

windsurfing.

• The opportunities for walking on formed tracks along the

coast and through the indigenous vegetation of Motu Pohue

(Bluff Hil).

Issues:

• It is vitally important to maintain the functionality of the Port

of Bluff.

• Wise management of the water space to accommodate the

many values of the harbour and the many groups that use it.

• Planning for residential expansion: there is potential for urban

expansion on the site of the (closed) Konini School and also on

the triangle bounded by Gunpit Road and Walker Street.

• Keeping options open for further development of walking

tracks.

BlUFFValues

• Bluff - ‘Where the highway begins’ is a prosperous, vibrant

and an attractive port town for residents and visitors. Bluff

Concept Plan 2002

• Ocean Beach and everything south of it can be seen as the

Bluff precinct.

• Bluff is a well-defined community economically and socially as

well as spatially.

• Historical – “Bluff has a longer history than any other town in

New Zealand.” (From the Bluff Tracey Coote)

• Bluff has a rich building heritage and a strong local vernacular.

• Bluff Hill (Motupohue) Values.

· Cultural significance: “The Southland Plains were formed

when the canoe of Aoraki capsized, and Aoraki and his

brothers were forced to climb onto the back of it to avoid

drowning. It was this canoe that became the South Island

(Te Waka o Aoraki). The stern of the waka, being broad

and flat, formed the Southland Plains, culminating the tip

of the stern being Motu Pohue (Bluff Hill). The bodies of

Aoraki and his brothers were changed into mountains”.

The Cry of the People – Te Tangi a Tauira Ngai Tahu

ki Murihiku Natural Resource and Environmental Iwi


· Landscape significance – the most significant landmark in

the Invercargill City District.

• Recreational – people come to Bluff to fish from the wharf, to

enjoy the coastal and hill walks, and to enjoy the waterfront

ambience.

• The non-residential area of Bluff township and the Island

Harbour accommodate a wide range of activities and

industries on which the region depends.




Issues

• Maintaining the critical mass of the Bluff area – in terms of

both population numbers and jobs/activities.

• Maintaining the functionality of the Port of Bluff.

• Bluff urban issues:

· Maintenance of “critical mass” – to maintain the viability of

the schools, commercial and community facilities.

· Need to improve linkages between the town and the

harbour, particularly in the area of the old Town Wharf, the

Ferry Wharf and the area south to Morrison’s Beach.

· Need to develop and improve recreational/tourist activities

and attractions, including the foreshore, to increase the

reasons to visit Bluff. One way to do this is to make a

feature in public spaces of recording and telling the stories

associated with Bluff.

· Maintenance of views.

· Landscape significance – Bluff Hill - Motupohue is the most

significant landmark in the Invercargill City District.

• Conserving and enhancing the built heritage of Bluff.

• Maintaining landscape values.

• Progressing the implementation of the Bluff Concept Plan.

• Planning for residential expansion: there is potential for urban

expansion on the site of the (closed) Konini School and also on

the triangle bounded by Gunpit Road and Walker Street.

TIwaI Values:

• Site of the internationally significant Tiwai Point Aluminium

Smelter enterprise.

• Significant network corridors – following the lines of the road

and access bridge, and the overhead electricity network lines

110 kV or greater.

• Burial sites are of significance to the tangata whenua.

• Heritage:

· The old Quarantine Wharf and associated structures are of

historical significance.

· Dog Island was known as Motu Pieu “Swinging Island”. A

man standing on the shore at Bluff attached a rock to a

line and swung it around his head. At its furthest reach it

touched the island.

· Dog Island is also the site of New Zealand’s tallest

lighthouse.

Issues:

• Maintaining the functionality of the Tiwai Point Aluminium

Smelter.

• Enhancing public access around the Tiwai Point shoreline.

• Maintain the integrity of network corridors.
