The Council is to give at least 14 days’ notice of any intended removal of forestry trees.
Trustpower can request the removal of forestry trees from the park strip and has the right to
remove these trees if the Council does not approve. The Council is obliged to seek consent
from Trustpower when planting any trees or undertaking any
vegetation (such as
trees) minimises daily temperature
fluctuations by reducing solar energy input
to waterways. Water temperatures are kept
cool and less algal growth occurs.
Controlling streambank erosion
Shrubs and trees with extensive fibrous
root systems stabilise streambanks. Bank
collapse is greatly reduced, and channel
migration largely controlled, thereby
protecting adjacent farmland and
buildings.
Dense vegetation, for instance rank grass
or low shrub cover, traps silt and
plastics, sand, soils and
clays, and/or tree stumps and roots, whether singly or in combination or mixture, or
any other material (subject to condition 4) that when placed onto and into land will not
render that land or any vegetation grown on than land toxic to vegetation or animals
consuming vegetation.
Advice Note: for the avoidance of doubt, sand, soils and clays include dewatered sand, soils and
clays, not sourced from HAIL sites, as described in the email from Kathryn Hooper (Landpro

Priorities initiated so far - A report from the Board Chairman
home for the world famous
collection of Vireyas, is
completed – hopefully by
the Garden Festival at the
end of October. Truckloads

expanded upper car park

Kamahi and other native canopy species are more
dominant along the river margin.
Although this forest remnant is reasonably small, it is nonetheless an important
ecosystem due its presence in an area which is otherwise predominated by well-
developed farmland. Forest remnants on the Egmont ring plain are now rare.
Ecological features
Flora
The main forest canopy is almost completely dominated by tawa (Beilschmiedia
tawa). Other canopy tree species include miro
possum browse. Vegetation in the steep
gully is in better condition than on the ridges and the regionally distinctive
king fern (Ptisana salicina) was found alongside the main stream. The
understorey is made up of a wide number of shrub species including
kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum), kanono (Coprosma grandifolia), tree
daisy (Olearia rani), and NZ gloxinia (Rhabdothamnus solandri) along with a
wide range of ferns. Of note is the presence of the At Risk and regionally
distinctive king
gully arms, formed by wind-
blown sands blocking the drainage of a gully system. The site is 24.7 ha in
size.
Ecological features
Vegetation
Lake Kaikura and its environs have a variety of vegetation types that alter
as the ground becomes drier away from the lake and into the gully arms.
A large raupo (Typha orientalis) wetland is located at the top end of the
lake. The wetland contains the uncommon small tree ‘wharangi’ (Melicope
ternata), which is an uncommon and depleted
