Navigation Safety Bylaw: Temporary Reservation and speed-limit uplifting for Multisport races around Kaiteriteri
Commencement of Operative Parts V and VI of the Tasman Resource Management Plan
TenEvents has applied to Tasman District Council to run the Kaiteriteri Beach Adventure Race, a national multisport championship event, within the Kaiteriteri and Marahau areas on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 February 2011. The planned paddling and swimming races will have competitors and support vessels passing through and occupying the Kaiteriteri water-ski area, and paddlecraft potentially racing between there and Anawera Point, Fisherman Island or Split Apple Rock as weather dictates. Pursuant to the provisions contained in the Navigation Safety Bylaw, the Tasman District Council’s Harbourmaster has granted a temporary reservation of the Kaiteriteri waterski area for the purposes of the Event, between the hours of 7.00 am and 4.00 pm on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 February 2011. The effect of the temporary reservation will be to prevent other activities including water skiing from occurring within that area for the time specified. Event Marshalls have the authority to require other users to vacate these areas as required, but may allow limited use when racers are well offshore, at the organiser’s discretion. An uplift of the 5 knot speed restrictions has also been granted to paddlecraft and support vessels directly involved in the Event in the areas specified above. Persons wishing to waterski at Kaiteriteri during this event should consult first with Event Marshalls, or use the ski areas in the Abel Tasman National Park area. The closest are at Stillwell Beach or Adele Island spit. Swimmers and other water users close to shore in the area should be aware of the potential of close encounters with racing paddlecraft. A number of conditions have been imposed on the organisers of the event, and these conditions may be viewed by emailing Nathan Faa’vae at nathan@tenevents.co.nz, or calling Tasman District Council’s Harbourmaster on 03 543 8400 during office hours.
Notice is given that the Tasman District Council has, on 27 January 2011, approved Parts V (Water) and VI (Discharges), including planning maps, to commence from 26 February 2011 as operative parts of the Tasman Resource Management Plan. The text of the Plan as operative will be viewable on Council’s website www.tasman.govt.nz from 28 February 2011 and the text and maps as Update 38 to the Plan can be purchased from the Council. All current Plan holders of the Plan will be forwarded Update 38. Please contact Pam Meadows 03 543 8581 or pam.meadows@tasman.govt.nz for information on purchasing the full Plan, as updated.
Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw: Speed Limit Suspension and Reservation of Kerr Bay Lake Rotoiti, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 March 2011 The NZ Antique and Classic Boat Show will be held at Kerr Bay, Lake Rotoiti between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm on both 5 March and 6 March 2011. Pursuant to powers provided to the Harbourmaster by the TDC Navigation Safety Bylaw 2005 (Amended 2006), the speed limits imposed by the Bylaw in relation to vessels within 50 metres of another vessel, or within 200 metres of shore or a structure are suspended for those vessels taking part and controlling the event, and exclusive use of a reserved area is provided to the event organisers. The area reserved exclusively for this event will include all of Kerr Bay, Lake Rotoiti out to a line which heads due east from a point 200 metres south of the Brunner Peninsula. The reserved area will therefore include the water ski access lane and those areas of water immediately adjacent to the launching ramps and beach at Kerr Bay. For the dates and times detailed above, the organisers of the NZ Antique and Classic Boatshow shall have exclusive use of the area defined above and will be required to ensure that craft or persons not involved in the event do not enter the reserved area unless the permission of the event organisers has been obtained. Vessels wishing to transit through or enter the reserved area during the event may do so only after consulting with the event organisers, and then may do so when, and under such conditions that the event organisers may choose to specify. Event communications may be using UHF radio, or Channel 17 on Marine VHF radio. Vessels entering or within the reserved area are requested to comply with any direction given by the event organisers or event officials relating to passage through that reserved area as if it was a direction given by the Harbourmaster. Persons wishing to swim from the lake shore or waterski are recommended to use West Bay. Waterskiiers should deep-water start anywhere more than 200m from shore outside of the reserved area, unless towed at less than 5 knots to or from the 200m line. Other conditions have been imposed and may be viewed by contacting the Tasman District Council’s Harbourmaster at the Richmond office during office hours.
Tasman District Council will be completing resurfacing of the Decks Reserve car park during late February 2011. The work, which will take a few days, will involve chip seal resurfacing. This type of resurfacing results in some loose chip on the surface which is swept off a short time after the work is completed. The job will be done in two parts to ensure that half of the car park area will remain available for parking. Council acknowledges that this is a busy time of year in Motueka. However the nature of chip sealing work requires the resurfacing to be done during summer to ensure that the chip properly adheres to the bitumen. Council’s contractor, Fulton Hogan will contact adjacent businesses and residents at least five days prior to this work commencing. Any comments or concerns should be raised with Council’s consultants. Contact Jeremy Katterns of MWH New Zealand Ltd on 03 546 0679.
