Plan Change 7
          Site Visit Itinerary (Updated)
Introduction
The following confirms the final site visit itinerary for the court. The court’s minute of 4
February 2021 noted its openness to undertaking a site visit to any location(s) that are
representative of different interests to aid the court’s understanding of proposed plan change.
As directed by the court we have conferred with counsel in pulling together this draft itinerary.
The court also invited the parties to comment on the draft itinerary before it was finalised1.

Timing
Three days have been scheduled for site visits while the court is sitting in Cromwell (week 6):
•         Monday 10 May 2021
•         Thursday 13 May 2021 (morning before the Hearing)
•         Friday 14 May 2021

Itinerary
A full list of sites suggested by counsel, during the hearing so far, and by parties responding
to the court’s invitation, is provided in Attachment A. In the interests of assisting the court
and best use of limited time, we have proposed the following sites or areas for the court to
visit. We note the court has provided feedback and direction in finalising the site visit itinerary.

Manuherikia Catchment & Upper Taieri – Helicopter
The Manuherikia has received much attention at the Hearing and many of the parties
speaking to their submissions are located in and around the surrounding catchments.
The “plumbing” of the Manuherikia is complex and best appreciated by air. This includes the
water race networks, weirs and diversions, hydrology - including flowing and drier reaches,
Falls Dam, and the tributaries of interest that would be difficult to access by vehicle or foot.
There would also be value in extending the visit to the Upper Taieri, if time permits.
The court can contextualise at a high level a broad range of different methods of irrigation,
farm types, and flow regimes by hovering over the suggested sites. We note that it is not
possible to stop and view the sites without arranging access and limiting the number of sites.

    Court minute of 4 February 2021 at para [5]. The invitation was sent on 5 May and two parties responded.

                                                                                                               1
Site Visit Itinerary (Updated) - Plan Change 7 - Environment Court
A detailed list of potential sites to view is provided in Attachment B. It is proposed that the
journey will start and end at Cromwell, taking in the Manuherikia, with a lunch stop at
Beaumont, then travelling over the Upper Taieri area as far as Middlemarch before returning.

Site Visit Itinerary (Updated) - Plan Change 7 - Environment Court
Taieri Catchment – Desktop flyover (Google earth or similar)
The Taieri is a very large catchment and sits between Dunedin and Cromwell. It has been
suggested to fly, or to drive. As an alternative approach, we suggest a combination of a
desktop flyover (Google earth or similar) and an extension of the Manuherikia helicopter visit.
The desktop flyover could be supplemented by photos of the Sinclair Wetlands, farmland
comprising the former locations of Lakes Tatawai and Marama te Taha, the Taieri Scroll Plain
- the former site of Taieri Lake and a traditionally important mahika kai area, and other sites.
If time permits, the court may wish to also look at the Upper Clutha Basin, including Bendigo
Basin and Hawea Basin as an example of change in land use (intensification and irrigation
expansion) along the banks of the Clutha and Hawea Rivers and the Clutha River Terraces.

A more detailed itinerary will be prepared and available on the day.

Site Visit Itinerary (Updated) - Plan Change 7 - Environment Court
Specific locations (Cromwell & Alexandra) – Drive
A number of specific locations covering a range of waterbody types and values, farm types,
and irrigation methods have been put forward. Time may not permit all sites to be visited.
Private sites include McArthur Ridge Vineyard, Webb Fruits Orchard and Manata Estate
Vineyard, which the court has heard evidence on, including the range of sophistication in
irrigation and water storage. Site access and health and safety arrangements will be made.
A number of other sites, some of which the court may have also viewed from the helicopter,
have been suggested. If time permits, visiting some of these from the ground would add
another dimension.
The Bannockburn has also been suggested. A route is proposed for the court to consider.
This has been prepared in consultation with Mr Parcell, a representative for a number of
Bannockburn parties. It includes vantage points over Felton Road orchards and vineyards
and land irrigated by Carrick irrigation near Gully Road. Mr Parcell also intends to present
photos of the Carrick scheme and wider area during his representation prior to the site visit.
A starting point of sites to visit is mapped out below, with further details in Attachment A. The
court may wish to confirm which sites are of interest after the helicopter visit and following the
presentations from the parties speaking to their submissions or evidence prior to the site visit.

Manuherekia   Central     Nominated by Ngā Rununga. A               Visit (helicopter)
River         Otago /     helicopter trip the length of the river
              Alexandra   (from area above Falls Dam to the
                          confluence with Mata-au Clutha) could
                          be useful. Focus on Falls Dam,
                          moving down to Thomsons Creek,
                          from Thomsons Gorge to Omakau,
                          Thomsons Gorge/ Thomsons Saddle
                          (a route through to the Lindis Pass,
                          referred to in Edward Ellison’s
                          evidence). Lower catchment around
                          Manor Burn – Galloway to Alexandra
                          Campground – the campground area
                          is downstream of, and affected by, the
                          combined abstractions in the
                          catchment.
                          Also nominated by Fish & Game. This
                          is because the catchment is the
                          leading example of a complex large
                          catchment in Otago. The prominence
                          of the catchment and recent work
                          programmes completed in the area
                          mean that it is front and centre for
                          many witnesses and submitters. It is
                          useful for the court to view the
                          catchment to put those references into
                          context.
                          ORC added that if the court is viewing
                          by helicopter that it look upstream of
                          Falls Dam to see the braided river less
                          impacted by water takes and
                          damming/augmentation. By helicopter
                          there will be some viewpoints where
                          the court can seek the race of the
                          Hawkdun Ida Burn Irrigation Scheme
                          running along the face of the Hawkdun
                          Range. Further, when the court is
                          visiting the river below Falls Dam (in
                          the gorge and around Fiddlers Flat or
                          at the Bridge at St Bathans Loop Rd) it
                          would be useful to have an
                          understanding of how the dam is being
                          managed at the time of the site visit
                          and the flows that are recorded below
                          the dam. ORC can arrange this.
                          In response to the draft itinerary Mr S
                          Craig queried why a security officer
                          has been given a seat over someone
                          with good working knowledge. This is
                          because it is an MOJ requirement.

                          former site of Taieri Lake and a
                          traditionally important mahika kai area.
                          From there, the Court may travel along
                          the road closest to Taieri River,
                          through to Sutton.
                          ORC added that if undertaking the site
                          visit by helicopter or desktop flyover,
                          we would also recommend some
                          aspects of the Waipori catchment
                          above the wetland complex (Waipori
                          Gorge & Lake Mahinerangi, and some
                          of its tributaries). The court may also
                          wish to view the Kyeburn which has
                          been referred to in evidence as an
                          example of a sub catchment (of the
                          Taieri) where farmers have developed
                          a flow sharing regime.
                          ORC also suggested that if time
                          permits, the court may wish to look at
                          the Upper Clutha Basin, including
                          Bendigo Basin and Hawea Basin as
                          an example of change in land use
