Magellan Rise (suburb)
Magellan Rise is a new suburb in north-eastern Hamilton in New Zealand. In the 2018 census it is at the boundaries of Flagstaff North, East and South areas and is described by others as Flagstaff. The area was rezoned for development in 2005 and there were houses to the east of Te Awa O Katapaki Stream by 2009. It was still being marketed in 2020 by the developer, CDL Land New Zealand Limited, who also developed the adjacent Ashmore subdivision. Lake Magellan was created by damming Te Awa O Katapaki Stream to provide stormwater treatment. It was upgraded in 2019, following a 2013 modelling of flooding in the area. A culvert rebuild in 2013 made the stream more accessible for eels and other fish. Parts of the stream valley, including Te Awa o Katapaki Reserve, provide a cycle track. Buses on the Orbiter route serve Discovery Drive at 15 minute intervals. See also * Suburbs of Hamilton, New Zealand List of Hamilton suburbs. *Aberdeen * Ashmore * Bader *Beerescourt *Callu ...

Hamilton East (New Zealand Electorate)
Hamilton East is a New Zealand parliamentary electorate. It is currently held by Jamie Strange MP of the Labour Party. Population centres Since the , the number of electorates in the South Island was fixed at 25, with continued faster population growth in the North Island leading to an increase in the number of general electorates. There were 84 electorates for the 1969 election, and the 1972 electoral redistribution saw three additional general seats created for the North Island, bringing the total number of electorates to 87. Together with increased urbanisation in Christchurch and Nelson, the changes proved very disruptive to existing electorates. In the South Island, three electorates were abolished, and three electorates were newly created. In the North Island, five electorates were abolished, two electorates were recreated, and six electorates were newly created (including Hamilton East). The earlier Hamilton electorate dates from 1922. In 1969 Hamilton West was spli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Resource Consent
A resource consent is the authorisation given to certain activities or uses of natural and physical resources required under the New Zealand Resource Management Act (the "RMA").

Stormwater Treatment Area
Stormwater treatment areas (STAs) are constructed wetlands divided into flow-through treatment cells that remove nutrients from agricultural and urban runoff water. The nutrients are consumed through plant growth, and captured by accumulation of dead plant material in a layer of sediment. STAs were introduced around the Everglades National Park in an effort to reduce nutrient levels in water flowing towards the park. STAs have been estimated to reduce phosphorus levels by about 80%. Description Agricultural and urban runoff water containing excess phosphorus is channeled through pump stations into shallow marshes that have been planted with a selection of plants with useful characteristics for water purification, like cattails, submerged aquatic plants and algae. These plants species absorb phosphorus, storing it in their roots, stems and leaves. When they die, they decompose creating a sediment layer that continues to absorb and hold decades worth of phosphorus. Water that flows ...
