Description: Outstanding waterbodies in the Wellington region including lakes, rivers and wetlands with biodiversity values for indigenous species. Schedule A1: Rivers with outstanding indigenous ecosystems values. Values include aquatic plants; indigenous fish diversity; threatened fish species; wildlife habitat; high macroinvertebrate health.Schedule A2: Lakes with outstanding indigenous ecosystems values. Values include aquatic plants; indigenous fish diversity; threatened fish species; wildlife habitat; high macroinvertebrate health.Schedule A3: Wetlands with outstanding indigenous biodiversity values Values relate to representativeness, diversity and rarity of the the wetalnds and the associated indigenous biodiversity.The wetlands on this schedule meet the definition of a natural wetland, and have been assessed against the Policy 23 criteria for indigenous biodiversity values in the Regional Policy Statement. Outstanding wetlands have been assessed as: Representative - Wetlands that are the best, or one of the best remaining examples that are typical and characteristic of the full range of the original or current natural diversity of ecosystems and habitat types in the region; ANDRarity – contains an indigenous ecosystem or habitat or biological community or physical feature that is nationally rare or threatened or distinctive OR -Habitat for more than two threatened species of flora and fauna; ORDiversity – a high natural diversity of ecological units or ecosystems or physical features or the full range of expected natural diversity; OR- a high natural diversity of species of flora and fauna or the full range of the expected natural diversity.Assessment of values is based on field surveys, desktop analysis, and expert opinion including the following reports:Boffa Miskell Ltd (2011) Desktop delineation and assessment of significance of wetlands of the Wellington Region.

Description: Schedule H: Contact recreation and Māori use: Regionally significant primary contact recreation rivers and lakes Schedule H identifies lakes and rivers that have been identified as having regionally significant primary contact recreation values. Primary contact recreation means activities such as swimming or boating where there is a high chance of becoming immersed in water.The schedule derives from Table 15, Appendix 1 of the Regional Policy Statement for the Wellington Region (RPS). Table 15 of the RPS was developed from a study (Wellington Regional Council 2009) into recreational uses of water undertaken for the development of the proposed RPS and further refined through the Schedule 1 process to produce a finalised list for the operative RPS.The waterbodies identified in Table 15 of the RPS as having swimming, kayaking and/or canoeing values were considered appropriate to be recognised in the Plan as having regionally significant primary contact recreation values. Note: Schedule H1 sets out priority waterbodies for improvement of water quality where it is known that the waterway does not meet an identified minimum acceptable state for either primary or secondary contact recreation in accordance with the National Objectives Framework. Those waterbodies that did not have primary recreation contact values identified in Table 15 were not considered to have regionally significant primary contact recreation values and are not included in this feature class.

Description: Schedule I: Important trout fishery rivers and spawning waters.This map is a companion to the trout spawning waters feature class layer. Trout fishery rivers in the Wellington Region identified by Wellington Fish and Game and based on the Fisheries Resource Inventory. Each catchment and river has its own inventory database that is continually updated and added to with information from field work that includes drift dive surveys, fish traps, electric fishing counts and tagging.Trout spawn in gravel bottomed, upland rivers and tributaries from late autumn to mid-winter. Preferred spawning habitats are in water depths of 0.15-0.45 m, with flow velocities of 0.20-0.55 m/s-1on a gravel substrate with clast sizes in the range of 14-64 mm. The general methodology is to identify rivers and streams that are important for trout recruitment, followed up by field surveys to identify sections of rivers that satisfy spawning conditions on the basis of preferred spawning habitat and the presence and number of redds. Regular spawning surveys are undertaken on waterbodies known to be important contributors to trout populations of a catchment. Further information can be found in the report:Tahere, S.

Description: Schedule K: Significant surf breaksThis map shows the significant surf breaks in the Wellington region. It is a campanion feature class to the swell corridors map. The identification of the surf breaks was based on information in the New Zealand wavetrack guide and undertaken with local knowledge and field surveys by Michael Gunson. This involved identification and characterisation (eg, type of break, length of ride, best surf conditions, swell, currents, water level) for each break in the Greater Wellington Region. This was followed by numerical modelling of the swell environment at each break to determine the main swell corridors that allow passage of swell waves to the break. GIS mapping of the surf breaks was undertaken by Iain Dawe, Greater Wellington Regional Council. More details can be found in the report:Atkin, E., Gunson, M. & Mead, S.

Description: Schedule M1: Surface water community drinking water supply abstraction points This feature class identifies the community drinking supply catchments to which policies and rules in the Plan apply in order to give effect to the The National Environmental Standard (NES) for Sources of Human Drinking Water (2007). The NESfor Sources of Human Drinking Water (2007) directs regional councils to consider the potential impacts of land use activities on community drinking water supplies. This map defines the ‘source protection zones’ for all relevant community drinking water supply points. The zones describe the area within which an activity might reasonably be expected to impact upon the quality of water at the abstraction point.The extent of the source protection area was defined by the ‘run time’ it would take water entering the stream to reach the abstraction point. Different catchments have different run times based on catchment characteristics. The catchment drinking water supply protection zone is a 200 m wide buffer overlaid on this defined river-run extent.

Description: Schedule M2: Groundwater community drinking water supply abstraction pointsCapture zones for community supply wells in the Greater Wellington Region. Existing calibrated groundwater flow models were used to define the capture zones for relevant wells in the Kāpiti Coast, Hutt Valley and Ruamāhanga River Valley. A capture zone is defined as the total source area that contributes groundwater to a well. Particle tracking methods were used to trace the outline of the capture zones around each well using a combination of forwards tracking particles on the water table and backwards particle tracking around each well screen. A number of sensitivity simulations were run and the maximum capture zone area was obtained by aggregating the path lines from the model runs.

Name: Lowland Areas For Category 2 Surface Water Bodies
Display Field: Name
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Map of lowland areas for category 2 surface waterbodies in the Wellington region for the management of rivers and streams in productive rural lowland areas.This feature class is derived from the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI) and the Land Cover Database v4 (2012), both produced by Landcare Research - Manaaki Whenua.In particular it is based on the land use capability layer which makes an assessment of the productive capability of land areas based on the underlying geology, soil type, slope angle, erosion susceptibility and vegetative cover.Slope classes A, B & C (under 16 deg) and soil classes 1-4 (arable land) were classified for inclusion in the area. Slope classes D,E, F & G (over 16 deg) and soil classes 5-8 (non-arable land) were excluded.It was created by first eliminating discrete polygons with slope classes below 15 degrees, occurring within broader areas above 16 degrees, using the dissolve tool. Likewise, islands of land over 16 degrees smaller than 15 km2sitting within lowland areas under 16 degrees were eliminated. Then complex, crenulated areas were rounded off with the simplify and smooth polygon tool. The whole delineation was then checked for accuracy and aligned where necessary to conform to slopes under 16 degrees with arable soils classes four and under.

Description: This feature class depicts six ‘river classes’. The classes recognise the six main types of streams and rivers found in the Greater Wellington region based on variables that characterise the natural environment such as climate, slope and catchment geology.The river classes are based on the Freshwater Environments of New Zealand (FWENZ) classification (Leathwick at al 2008). FWENZ is a multivariate classification which has been developed to maximise discrimination of un-impacted or natural biological patterns. The classification is based on the relationship between river and stream biota and natural environmental variables (ie, environmental variables not affected by human impacts). Modifications made to the FWENZ classification in order to identify the six river classes depicted in the maps are documented in Warr (2010) and Greenfield et al (2013).Leathwick J, Julian K, Elith J, Chadderton L, Ferrier S, Snelder T. 2008.
