Sensitivity to Change - Critically Challenging Zones Table

Reference letter Predominant Discipline Affected in this Area Critical Challenges

A Transport • The entrance/exit points by Gates 10&11 (Awaroa Rd) have an interior link road. The use of this area directly adjacent to the gates may impact on the use of these gates for special occasions/events, and may result in the need to permanently close the gates.

B Transport

• This area is directly adjacent to the main gate and is essential for access to/from the cemetery. Currently the cemetery’s main parking facilities are located by Chapel 1 and Chapel 2. If any portion of this parking space is taken away for extra burials, without any mitigation, this will impact the operation of the cemetery. This access road is also critical for access around the cemetery areas. Any severance to this main road will significantly impact the access and circulation around the cemetery, and at worse, result in loss of access to certain isolated parts of the cemetery.

C Landscape Architecture

• The gullies are a natural landscape feature, an expression of biophysical processes that shape the land and give it life. They represent an important part of the open space network that links to the wider open space network - both existing and potential.

• Areas of the gully system feature mature native trees including rimu, kahikatea and kauri which contribute to the distinctive landscape character of the cemetery.

D Heritage and Archaeology

• No burials into single plots due to the risk of side collapse and lack of space for benching – only burials with two or more empty plots adjacent each other could be considered.

• There is a high potential to disinter remains that may not sit strictly within the boundary of the marked grave site.

• HNZ authority constraints. Constraints are specific to individual authority conditions.

• Legal risks if accidental finds are discovered (Local planning - Not consistent with the current Reserve Management Plan; therefore, this must be altered before burials in the Historic areas can be undertaken. Unlikely to get resource consent from Auckland Council without strict restrictions and guidelines. Public health concern if remains are exhumed, the governing department must also be notified. If remains are encountered, under the HNZPTA the NZ Police, local tangata whenua and Heritage NZ must be notified if within the pre-1900 area. If the works are not covered by an active authority from Heritage NZ and the remains are pre-1900, this is a prosecutable offence under the HNZPTA.

• This area contains recorded archaeological site R11/2827, CHI items (Chapel of the Faith in the Oaks, Sexton’s House, Foreman’s House, Influenza Memorial, trees), and the wildflower area, as well as the location of the original entrance to the Cemetery. This area is considered to be highly significant and integral to the heritage landscape of the entire cemetery; therefore, any development in this area will directly.

• Impact these values. Any works within this area will require an Archaeological Authority (within site boundaries) which if within current burial plots may not be granted by HeritageNZ, as well as consideration of further heritage values through a heritage impact assessment. The current boundaries of recorded archaeological site R11/2827 are indicative only and do not represent the true extent of the pre-1900 portion of the cemetery.

• All graves must be hand dug in this area which would double the cost of the burials.

• Disturbance to wildflower sanctuary. This area is internationally recognised for the wildflowers that festoon the heritage part of the site and create a stunning display and attraction for local and overseas visitors, contributing to the identity and attraction of the city at an international scale.

• There is a higher potential to disturb historic monuments if work is done in this area which would likely result in damage to these monuments. New burials must not occur within close proximity of high risk monuments or grave adornments. Any damage to historic monuments must be mitigated through restoration/repair/conservation. Graves in this area will be more difficult to access due to existing tightly packed burials.

• Graves in this area will be more difficult to access due to existing tightly packed burials. Access is limited further by the closeness of grave plot rows and limited width pathways between the existing graves.

• There is a potential lack of market for graves that are likely to be difficult, more expensive and unable to have a headstone.

• Impact to the landscape heritage character needs to be considered so that the overall heritage fabric and significance of the Cemetery is not diminished.

E Transport • This road is critical for access throughout the cemetery. Any severance to this main road will significantly impact the access and circulation around the cemetery and at worst, result in loss of access to certain isolated parts of the cemetery.

F Civil • No development permitted within the Marsden Point High Pressure Oil Line easement.

G Ecology - Botanical • The predominant ecosystem type in this area is manuka/kanuka scrub, a subset of the gumland classification, and is critically endangered. Consideration should be given to reducing fragmentation and maintaining areas of continuous forest.

H Ecology - Botanical• The predominant ecosystem type in this area is gumland heath which is considered a critically endangered ecosystem type in Auckland.

Q Landscape Architecture

• The gullies are a natural landscape feature, an expression of biophysical processes that shape the land and give it life. They represent an important part of the open space network that links to the wider open space network - both existing and potential.

• Areas of the gully system feature mature native trees including rimu, kahikatea and kauri which contribute to the distinctive landscape character of the cemetery.

• These riparian areas feature predominately native canopy cover and hold significant biotic and visual landscape value.

• All rivers/streams have aquatic value which contributes to biophysical landscape quality.

R Ecology - Botanical• This area is half manuka/kanuka scrub which is a subset of the gumland classification and is critically endangered. Consideration should be given to reducing

fragmentation and maintaining areas of continuous forest.

• The other half of this area is gumland heath which is considered a critically endangered ecosystem type in Auckland.

S Ecology - Botanical • This area is manuka/kanuka scrub which is a subset of the gumland classification and is critically endangered. Consideration should be given to reducing fragmentation and maintaining areas of continuous forest.
