Through this plan therefore, is aproposal to move the community library from the CheviotArea School, where this is now based, into the service centrein 2012/13. The school library would remain in the school. Aworking party is scoping and developing a plan to take to thecommunity for further consideration before the fi nal plan isconfi rmed.A growth strategy for the Cheviot township and the coastalareas, predominantly Gore Bay and Port Robinson area, wasdeveloped in 2007/08 with extensive community input.A new medical centre or an upgrade to the existing building isproposed for the Cheviot township in 2016/17. Full scoping ofthe options and extensive consultation will be carried out priorto any fi nal decisions being made.Changes in Cheviot Ward’s land use, such as rising numbersof vineyards, lifestyle blocks (particularly at Gore Bay andPort Robinson), irrigation, and tourism, may result in newopportunities and challenges.Key Planning AssumptionsPopulation growth is projected to be restrained and Cheviothas historically lacked popularity as a retirement area (aselderly residents tend towards areas with more supportservices). Recent interest by some in the comparatively lowcost of housing in Cheviot, indicate that some people wishingto leave Christchurch post the earthquakes, are fi nding the areaattractive even without these supports.The impact of tourism and tourist traffic on local services andamenities present key long term challenges and opportunities.Key ProjectsYear Planned2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015-2022Water pipe renewal $62,352New asset pipe $60,000 $62,352 $64,428 $526,032Sewerage - plant renewals $10,994 $36,498Sewerage - desludging $77,749Sewerage - wave band correction $30,822Cheviot Ward footpath construction $25,000 $25,980 $26,845 $219,183Cheviot Ward drainage improvements $5,000 $5,000 $5,196 $5,369Cheviot Medical Centre new building $1,150,700Cheviot Library / Service Centre $100,000Cheviot Ward - Sample PropertiesPropertyCapitalValueWaterNo offi xedChargesActualRatesProposedRatesIncrease (Decrease)Supply Units 2011/2012 2012/2013 $ %Units 170,000 Cheviot 0.5 1 $1,512.82 $1,671.84 $159.02 10.51%Cheviot Rural 2,025.000 Cheviot 2.5 2 $4,225.26 $4,715.96 $490.70 11.61%62
Glenmark Ward Profi leBackground and HistoryThe area of Glenmark dates back to the original owner ofGlenmark station, George “Scabby” Moore. Like otherCanterbury runholders he built up his property on the backof profi table pastoral farming, the generosity of his bank, andhis use of cheap leasehold land. He began as the farm manager,and acquired Glenmark at auction in 1873. He paid £90,000 for38,935 acres (15,756 hectares) of freehold land, but this waslinked to another 78,740 acres (31,865 hectares) of leaseholdland. Eventually the run carried over 90,000 sheep and was themost valuable in the colony. Holdings on this scale were notfound in the North Island.Moore was notorious as a hard employer and a bad neighbour.His station was for years Canterbury’s scabbiest run, in factat one stage his fi nes for owning diseased sheep amountedto £2,400. It is believed that Moore sought to discourageprospective purchasers of his leasehold land by keeping the runinfected.Waipara led the way in rural irrigation schemes by opening itsNo. 1 Rural Reticulated Water Supply Scheme in 1986 - thefi rst water harvesting scheme in New Zealand. By the turn ofthis century the area had become a signifi cant wine productionregion, accommodating fourteen wineries.The township of Waipara has its origins as a railway town, atthe junction of the main trunk line and services heading west. Itwas famous for having the longest siding in the South Island. Formany years Waipara was also home to State forestry workersand nassella tussock grubbers, but more recently it has becomehome to wine workers.The smaller settlement of Greta Valley was created in the late1970s, complete with amenities, a primary school, a church anda library service. Scargill owes its existence to the Christchurch/Picton railway line, while Omihi already housed some servicesincluding a primary school, a community hall and a railwaystation in the 1950s. The beach settlement of Motunau Beachhas expanded over the past 50 years, with a third subdivisionrecently being developed, complementing the many earlier“traditional Kiwi baches” that characterise this settlement.The Glenmark rugby club in Omihi has produced more AllBlacks than any other club in NZ -14 in all at last count!Recreation / Visitor AttractionsThe Waipara region is one of New Zealand’s most rapidlyexpanding wine areas, producing in the order of 1,000,000cases of award winning wines in an average year, includingPinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris,Gewurztraminer, Merlot and Shiraz. Daily wine tours andDraft Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022personal excursions are available at many of the wineries.The Glenmark Ward also features the Glenmark railway, whereone can recall the era of rural train travel with a ride in vintageformer NZR passenger carriages through scenic Weka Pass onthe 13-kilometre-long railway from Waipara to Waikari, usingvintage former NZR steam and diesel locomotives.There are many and various accommodation options availablein the area.The Motunau Beach settlement is a great place to retreat andenjoy the quiet seaside ambience. Sea fi shing, marine wildlifewatching and diving are just some of the great adventures onoffer. In nearby Greta Valley and Scargill a peaceful, rural farmingatmosphere still exists.The Canterbury regional landfi ll at Kate Valley is located withinthe Glenmark Ward. The landfi ll has areas of regenerating nativebush and wetlands which form the nucleus of the TranswasteTiromoana Bush Restoration plan. Transwaste are planning forTiromoana Bush to be a major national feature, with recreational,educational and scientifi c opportunities for present and futuregenerations of New Zealanders and tourists.Current Profi leThe population of the Glenmark Ward is estimated at 1,170.The Glenmark Ward population was 1,143 people at the timeof the 2006 Census an increase of around 300 people over theprevious fi ve years. Statistics New Zealand predicts furtherincreases for the area, but at a more modest rate than theprevious fi ve year period. Glenmark Ward’s residents make upapproximately 11% of Hurunui District’s population as a whole.The Waipara Wine Valley offers ideal conditions for growingpremium quality grapes, the combination of hot summertemperatures, well-drained soil and protection from the cooleasterly wind makes for award winning wines. It is the fastestgrowing wine region in New Zealand with around 80 vineyardsin the Waipara Wine Valley covers more than 1,200 hectares ofplantings, including the extended Glasnevin area of the AmberleyWard). The north facing moderately sloping terrain provides anideal sun trap for fruiting vines.The Canterbury regional landfi ll at Kate Valley islocated within the Glenmark Ward. Council has an ongoingcommitment to ensuring that this landfi ll operates in line withits consent conditions, and that the interests and values of theHurunui community are effectively represented and protectedthroughout the planned 35 year life. A Community Trust,established and funded by the landfi ll company, provides fi nancialbenefi ts to the neighbouring community, primarily focused onWaipara. Because Council has no involvement in this Trust or itsdisbursements, this Long Term Plan does not take into account63
