Removingvisitor levya bad call
Taking a visitor levy off the table isshort sighted and may leave local authori-ties with no alternative but to raise rates,says Regional Tourism New Zealand(RTNZ).
RTNZ executive officer Charlie Ivessaid his association was surprised that therecommendation for a visitor levy hadbeen removed from the Productivity Com-mission’s final report to Government, as ithad been a strong recommendation in thedraft version.
“Not considering some sort of visitorlevy as a funding option for local govern-ment to both manage the impacts oftourism and also develop tourism as apositive contributor to the vitality ofcommunities in the regions demonstratesa remarkably short-sighted view,” saidCharlie.
“Without the option of imposing a user-pays system this decision will perpetuatea situation where local councils, stretchedfor funds, will have to pay for most of theassociated costs of providing for tourism.
“Not being able to recoup expenditurefrom those visitors will put financialstrain on communities.”
He said instead, Councils would beforced to raise money through the onlylever they had, being further rating ofbusinesses and residents.
“There was further significant concernthat Councils might choose to introduce atarget rate on obvious tourism businesses,such as hotels,” said Charlie.
“We are disappointed that after monthsof discussion and submissions the Com-mission has backtracked on the levy, butRTNZ will continue to advocate forthe introduction of a fair user payssystem.”

CANCELLEDCANCELLED
Landowners have sayLandowners in the west coast
harbour catchments are helpingWaikato Regional Council de-velop harbour and catchmentplans for Kawhia, Aotea andWhaingaroa/Raglan.
The regional council has beenholding workshops with rurallandowners, iwi representatives,agencies and stakeholders tounderstand their concerns,aspirations and ideas for theharbours and their catchments.The plans will help the council toprioritise the work it does withlandowners to improve thehealth of the catchments,waterways and harbours.
“Our catchment managementprogramme has grown year onyear since the west coast zonewas established in 2010, and wehave now more funding thanever for landowners to makeenvironmental improvements ontheir properties,” says projectmanager Tracie Dean-Speirs.
Typically this work includesriparian planting and fencing,land retirement, erosion protec-tion and river management.
“We’re getting great uptakeby landowners who want to makeimprovements on their land,however we do find that demandcan exceed the funds available.Therefore it’s important that wedirect funding towards work thatwill make the most difference.”
The council this year secured$1.39 million from the Ministryfor Primary Industries’ HillCountry Erosion Fund 2019-2023for soil conservation work in thewest coast zone, which includesthe harbour catchments. It hasalso put in an application forfunding from the Government’sOne Billion Trees Programme tohelp landowners undertake
native planting.The west coast zone has the
highest proportion of erosion-prone farmland in the Waikatoregion, and its rivers have highsediment loads. It also has thelowest population (3 per cent).
“These plans will help us getextra funding support, and com-munities can also use these plansto help get funding from othersources, too,” says Tracie.
Issues, concerns and trendsidentified at the workshops in-cluded declining numbers ofshellfish in harbours, coastalerosion and inundation, impactsfrom increased urban develop-ment, sedimentation, an increasein pest plants and animals, andlack of funding available.
Waikato Regional councillorFred Lichtwark, who is thechairman of the council’s newCommunity Restoration Com-mittee, says people wantimproved water quality, greaterbiodiversity and more greenspaces around harbours andwaterways.
Landowner groups arealready forming in some parts ofthe Kawhia harbour catchment.
Councillors Stu Kneebone andAndrew Macpherson, whoattended the Kawhia workshop,say it’s inspiring to see land-owners wanting to work togetherto develop better environmentaloutcomes for their propertiesand the whole of the catchment.
Residents and landownerscan still have their say via anonline survey atwaikatoregion.govt.nz/westcoast-survey.

Eyes on water quality
Buffalo Beach at Whitianga — one of nine iconic summer holidayhot spots where Waikato Regional Council will be monitoring waterquality. NZME file photo
Heading off to the beach forthe Christmas break and want toknow if the water quality stacksup for swimming and recreation?
Waikato Regional Counciltests the water quality at sevenCoromandel Peninsula and twowest coast beaches once a weekfrom November until March,with the latest results availableto beach users atwaikatoregion.govt.nz/coastalresults and the Land andWater Aotearoa (LAWA)website.
Coastal and marine teamleader Dr Michael Townsendsays the water quality at Wai-kato’s beaches is generally quitehigh, but the weekly results areimportant to look at becauseheavy rainfall events can washcontaminants, such as effluent,from the land into the waterwaysand out to the coast.
“What we tend to find is thatthe faecal bacterial levels can bequite high after a lot of rain,”says Michael.
“So while it might be tempt-ing to rush out for a swim theminute the sun is out again, it’sworth knowing that thesecontaminants may be present inthe water for up to two days andwe’d recommend caution.
“The number of faecal bac-teria present in the waterindicates the likelihood of get-ting sick from the many possiblepathogens such as bacteria orviruses.”
If the results are of concern,the regional council works withdistrict councils and the WaikatoDistrict Health Board to under-take more testing and to under-stand if there could be any publichealth implications.
“So far, each time we’ve donefurther testing the bacterialevels are back to an acceptablerange, but if there was a problemthen the DHB will issue a healthwarning.”
The council uses nationalguidelines to determine whetherthe monitoring results show thewater is suitable for recreation.
The Coromandel beachesmonitored are Whitianga, HotWater Beach, Tairua, Pauanui,Whangamata, Onemana andWhiritoa, and Sunset Beach(Port Waikato) and Ngarunui(Raglan) on the west coast.
Weekly monitoring gives anunderstanding of the typicalwater quality at each locationover time, and an overall grade isupdated for each location at theend of the sampling season.
This is the fourth consecutiveyear that the regional councilhas done coastal water qualitymonitoring, and it recruitsstudents to help with samplecollections.
“It’s important to understandthe quality of the water so we canmake good decisions on manag-ing our coastal and marinearea,” says Michael.

Proactivemanagement
As mating season draws to a closeand the hot, humid weather setsin, CRV Ambreed is urging dairy
farmers to be proactive about managingfacial eczema (FE).
The call comes following an invest-ment by The Ministry for PrimaryIndustries’ (MPI) Sustainable FarmingFund to support the Facial EczemaAction Group — made up ofveterinarians, dairy farmers and ruralprofessionals — to explore ways ofraising awareness of FE so that morefarmers take preventative action.
According to a recent study led byVeterinary Enterprises Group (VetEnt)Research, facial eczema could be costingdairy farmers more than $100,000 a yearin lost milk production. Not only is thedisease costly in dollar terms, but it is
also devastating for animal health.CRV national sales and marketing
manager Jon Lee says as well as zincdosing now ahead of the January to Maydanger period, farmers should take alonger term view and consider breedingfor FE tolerance.
“In most cases you can’t actually seeevidence of the disease on the animal.But internally it can be doing irrepar-able damage to the cow’s liver,” saysJon.
“There is no cure for facial eczema sotaking steps to prevent it is the onlyoption.”
Since 2011, CRV has offered semenfrom bulls with an increased toleranceto facial eczema, following research thatdiscovered how to identify bulls withimproved FE-tolerance.
“Now, about 18 per cent of ourgrazing portfolio has increased toler-ance to facial eczema, across the Cross-bred, Friesian and Jersey categories,”says Jon.
“The daughters of our FE-tolerantbulls are 25-30 per cent less reactive to afacial eczema challenge than the aver-age bull.”
New Zealand endured one of theworst FE seasons in years in 2016 whenspore counts ballooned in the NorthIsland and parts of the South Island tothe highest in a decade, and many herdshad a large number of cows with clinicalfacial eczema.
“That caused a tripling of orders forstraws of semen from bulls with gen-etics for a tolerance to facial eczema,”says Jon.

Cycling team collectsseven medals at worlds
It was mission accomplished for theVantage New Zealand track cycling teamwho completed their Tissot UCI WorldsCup campaign after collecting sevenmedals in Brisbane.
Limiting their focus to three of the sixworld cup competitions in Hong Kong,Cambridge and Brisbane, New Zealandhas ticked all the boxes to secure starts inall key events for February’s world cham-pionships in Germany.
The team returned home yesterday fora break over Christmas before returningto training in the New Year.
Cycling New Zealand high perform-ance director Martin Barras said he waspleased with performances in the keyOlympic events and they can now plan thebuild-up to the world championships andfrom that point secure qualification forthe Tokyo Olympics.
“Overall I am delighted with the per-formances in our core endurance events,particularly team pursuit for both menand women, who have both produced nearworld record rides from the women inCambridge and the men in Brisbane,” saidBarras.
“We are leading the way in the men’somnium and madison competitions andwe have now secured our women’s om-nium position which is important if weare to take five endurance riders to Tokyo.
“The team sprint has secured theirplacings for the world championships formen and women and with the keirin also.
“There’s been performances in num-bers, and the depth in the endurancestocks has never been as strong, while weare now also building some depth in thesprint as well.
“The riders can enjoy a short break butwill be back hard at work in the New Yearto prepare for a very important worldchampionship.”
A highlight for local rider EllesseAndrews was beating current worldchampion Wai Sze Lee twice in the keirin.
Andrews and Kiwi teammate NatashaHansen won their respective first roundrides in the keirin, both drawing the samesemifinal.
Andrews pushed from the back to lead,providing cover for Hansen, who bidedher time to sprint to the win to secure aspot in the final.
Andrews was edged out in fifth but ingood company with Lee behind her. Shewent on to finish third in the consolationfinal with a powerful ride from the back tohold off Lee for the second time.
The final was an aggressive affair within-form Colombian Martha BayonaPineda out-lasting local star Steph Mortonfor the title, with Hanson fifth in anexcellent performance.
A break for filly
Flying filly American Princess scores on debut with Danielle Johnson on board at TeRapa. Photo / Trish Dunell
Te Rapa winner American Princess islikely to be put aside for a short break asher trainers Murray Baker and AndrewForsman look ahead to some of the latesummer two-year-old features with theimpressive debutant.
An eye-catching win at the Cambridgetrials last moth saw punters install theJimmy Choux filly as a warm favourite forSaturday’s Wentwood Grange Premier(1200m) and she didn’t disappoint as sheovercame a chequered path in the homestraight to register a dominant two and aquarter-length victory.
Raced by a syndicate that includes herbreeders, Peter and Sue Cowley, Ameri-can Princess is the first foal of well-performed Guillotine mare Steel Rose,who won the corresponding race at themeeting back in 2013, when it carriedListed status, before going on to win theGr.2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1200m)while she also finished second in the Gr.2Matamata Breeders’ Stakes (1200m).
“We’ve liked her since she first enteredthe stable and we had been expecting agood run from her,” co-trainer AndrewForsman said. “Peter and Sue called usand asked if we would take her and shehas fitted into the stable life really well.She had shown up in jumpouts at homeand her trial win was very good.
“She’s a pretty sensible filly with areally nice turn of foot. She wasn’t thatquick out of the barriers but jockeyDanielle Johnson didn’t panic and got onthe back of one that carried her into the
race and she did it well in the end.”The Matamata Breeders’ Stakes in
February is a possible target for AmericanPrincess, who is likely to head to thespelling paddock for a short break.
“It is tempting to maybe go back to thewell one more time but I think she willmost likely have some time off now,”Forsman said.
“She isn’t Karaka Million eligible sosome of those late summer and autumntwo-year-old features are the focus.
“She is pretty professional so a racelike the Breeders’ Stakes at Matamata isan obvious target for her.”
The Baker-Forsman team finished offthe day well with Crafty Jess scoring over1600m in the last race on the day but hadno luck at Awapuni with Gr.3 EulogyStakes (1600m) candidate Showbeel, one oftwo runners who held up proceedingswhen she needed farrier work at the startafter casting a plate.
“The delay at Awapuni really cost us aswe knew there would be no speed in therace and wanted to race handy withShowbeel but she missed away slightlyand got further back than we wanted,”Forsman said.
“She just couldn’t sprint when theytook off in the straight but she closed it offvery nicely to finish third and showed shewants further than the 1600m.
“She’s nominated for the New ZealandOaks (Gr.1, 2400m), so we will be lookingto get her over further from now on.”

Waikato Regional Councilsought to answer thatquestion during a recentsurvey of 1250 Waikatoresidents, with the keyfindings now publishedonline.
People’s satisfactionwith the environment hasdropped 19 per cent in threeyears and is also the lowestsince the regional councilbegan this perception surveyin 1998.
The survey resultsprovide the council with anunderstanding of people’senvironmental awarenessand helps it evaluate theeffectiveness of currentpolicies.
It also assists the council inunderstanding any barrierswhich may be presentfor people undertakingenvironmentally beneficialbehaviours.
Water quality continuesto be the most importantenvironmental concernidentified.
But the single mostimportant issue in five years’time will be human impact/changes, which includesclimate change, populationincrease and urban sprawl.
“The 2019 data showssome significant changesabout how Waikato residentsperceive their environmentand what areas they placevalue on,” says WaikatoRegional Council social andeconomic science managerRuth Buckingham.
“The results confirm thegrowing concern we arehearing from people aboutclimate change.
“As a council we have thesame concerns, which is whyclimate change mitigationand adaptation actions are
a key focus for us,” explainsRuth.
“Of real significance isthat residents in the Waikatoregion are demonstratingan increased awareness ofhow society will affect theenvironment in the longerterm, with people startingto change their behaviourto reflect more sustainablepractices in their homes.”
Residents are taking morepersonal actions to protectthe environment than inprevious years, such asrecycling of plastics, refusingplastic supermarket bags andreducing plastic packaging.
People’s overall satisfactionwith their local environmentshowed that 72 per centwere either satisfied or verysatisfied - down from 91 percent in the 2016 survey.
“It’s the first time we’veseen this decline in 21 years
of doing this survey, and itreflects people’s responseto the overall state of theirenvironment,” said Ruth.
While 47 per cent think theirlocal environment has becomeworse, other survey resultsindicate this may be due tothe increase in concern andsensitivity to environmentalissues facing the region.
And results show strongsupport for environmentalregulations with 81 per cent
agreeing that WaikatoRegional Council shouldenforce rules and laws to makesure the environment is welllooked after.
The full report is availableonline at waikatoregion.govt.nz/tr201909
It’s your environment - but what really matters to you?
