6 Stewart Allan Stanley, Dale Robert May & Jacqueline Monique May as trustees for the D & J May Family Trust INFORMATION TO SUPPORT AN APPLICATION for Swing or Stern-tie Mooring (mandatory information) This additional application form is required to be provided to supplement the Resource Consent Application Form. Note: Some of the information requested below is required under Schedule 4 of the Resource Management Act 1991 incorporating changes as a result of the Resource Management Amendment Act If you do not complete/provide certain information in this form, your application may be returned to you as incomplete. Please complete all sections that apply. 1. Description of the Proposal 1(a) Introduction It is the applicant's responsibility to provide an accurate description of the proposal, including the mooring coordinates and the length and type of vessel to be moored. Such details are essential to the understanding of the environmental effects of the activity. The precise coordinates and water depth (at Mean Low Water Springs) of the mooring site are particularly important. Any vessel using a swing mooring will traverse a circle centred on the mooring block. The size of this 'swing circle' varies from mooring to mooring, depending on the water depth, tackle length and vessel length. Council will calculate the swing circle from the information provided on this form. 1(b) Mooring Details Name of bay or locality: NGAKUTA BAY For existing moorings, what is the mooring number and consent number? N/A The mooring type is: 0 Swing Stern-tie Pole Star Other (please specify) MARINE FLEX / ELASTIC MOORING TACKLE Mooring block coordinates: N E New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000) and New Zealand Map Grid (NZMG) coordinates take the format of a paired seven digit Easting and Northing (for example E , N ). World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) coordinates are described in degrees and minutes of Latitude and Longitude (for example S, E). If applicable, stern-tie point coordinates: N/A If it is a stern-tie mooring, what does the tie back point comprise? N/A If the mooring is to be a stern-tie mooring, please also provide the coordinates of the stern-tie point and a description of what it is, be it a mooring block, pile, post or some other attachment point in the sea or on land. A tree or tree stump is unlikely to be acceptable to Council. Water depth at the mooring site at Mean Low Water Springs (MLWS): 8.4M Weight of the mooring block (if known): 3 TONNE Total length of tackle (chain and rope) from mooring block to vessel: 12M Will the mooring be constructed to accord with Council's 'Mooring Construction Guidelines'? 0 Yes No The guidelines are provided at Appendix 1. Page 1

7 If no, please attach a report prepared by a chartered professional engineer which demonstrates that the mooring has been designed to, as far as possible, securely moor the vessel to the seabed in all weather conditions. For existing moorings only, the value of the investment of the existing consent holder is: N/A Council is required by section 104(2A) of the Resource Management Act 1991 to have regard to this value when considering the application. 1(c) Vessel Details The vessel to be moored is a: 0 Pleasure boat Commercial vessel Marine farming or fishing vessel Barge or working platform Swimming platform Other (please specify) Maximum length of vessel proposed to use the mooring: 10M If more than one vessel will use the mooring, specify the length of the largest vessel. The resource consent, if granted, will be for the length of vessel specified in the application. To moor a vessel exceeding the consented length will require a further application to Council to do so. Vessel Name: "EL PESCADOR" Emergency contact name and phone number: Dale May Wk Hm In case of the vessel slipping free of its mooring or other incident concerning the mooring. Assessment of Environmental Effects 2(a) Introduction Section 88 of the Resource Management Act 1991 requires each application for resource consent to include an assessment of the actual and potential effects of the activity on the environment. Such an assessment must include such detail as corresponds with the scale and significance of the effects that the activity may have on the environment. Those effects may be positive or adverse, temporary or permanent, and include past, present or future effects. The term "environment" has a wide definition under the Resource Management Act 1991, and includes ecosystems, people and communities, natural and physical resources, and amenity values. The applicant's assessment of environmental effects should enable the Council and any affected parties (such as neighbouring mooring or land owners) to understand what will or may happen to the environment when the proposed mooring is installed and used. For existing moorings, the effects to consider are those arising from the continued existence of the mooring and associated vessel. Please attach additional pages if they are necessary to complete your assessment of environmental effects of the proposed or existing mooring. 2(b) Positive Effects The mooring will be used: 0 In association with nearby property Lot 3 DP Other (please specify) In association with a commercial enterprise in the area. Not in association with any nearby property or commercial enterprise. As a temporary and short-term 'stopover' or holiday mooring while visiting the area. Please describe what positive effects the subject mooring of a vessel will have for the applicant and community: The ability to moor our vessel will enhance our boating experience as it will alleviate the stress involved with launching and retrieving our vessel from the tidal ramp in Ngakuta Bay. We regularly use the launching ramp and have found the ramp area is becoming busier with people and vessels from Ngakuta Bay and neighbouring bays, and also children playing around the ramp at peak times. Page 2

8 Having a mooring will also assist with the congestion occurring in the public car parking area, as we would no longer need to leave a vehicle and trailer parked, it would be returned to our private residence and stored. Having a mooring will significantly enhance our Marlborough Sounds experience. The ease of accessing our vessel will encourage the family to participate in local activities and events. Also having a professionally designed environmentally friendly mooring system will ensure that there is minimal disturbance to the seabed and surrounding area and provide peace of mind for the security of our vessel when moored. 2(c) Effects on Maritime Safety Will the mooring(s) and associated vessel(s): Be located within a main navigational route? Yes 0 No Hinder safe and practical access to any existing nearby mooring? Yes 0 No Hinder safe and practical access to any nearby jetty, boatshed, launching ramp or similar? Yes 0 No Hinder safe and practical access to or operation of any nearby marine farm? Yes 0 No Be regularly maintained to ensure that the block and tackle remain fit for purpose? 0Yes No For an existing mooring(s) only, over the previous consent term, has there been a collision(s) between moored vessels which have involved the subject mooring(s)? Yes No 2(d) Effects on Recreation Values and Casual Anchoring Will the mooring(s) and associated vessel(s): Hinder the use of any existing water-skiing area (formal or informal)? Yes 0 No Prevent the use of the embayment for casual? Yes 0 No Hinder any other recreational activities, including swimming, kayaking, diving or fishing? Yes 0 No 2(e) Effects on Marine Ecology Applicants please note, the Resource Management (Marine Pollution) Regulations 1998 prohibit the discharge of sewage from any vessel unless that discharge occurs more than 500 metres from shore and in water depths greater than 5 metres. Does the vessel to be moored have a sewage treatment system or holding tanks? Yes 0 No Does the mooring design prevent seabed disturbance by the dragging of the mooring tackle? 0Yes No For example, through the use of an elastic mooring system Is the mooring site within an identified area of ecological significance? Yes 0 No You may wish to refer to the 2011 joint Marlborough District Council and Don't know Department of Conservation publication: Ecologically Significant Marine Sites in Marlborough, Davidson, R J, et al, available through Council's website: www. marlborough. govt. nz. If yes, will the mooring and associated vessel detract from the identified ecological values? Yes No Page 3

9 2(f) Effects on Amenity Values Will the mooring(s) and associated vessel(s): Be consistent with the established appearance and uses of the subject embayment? 0 Yes No Be the only mooring within the subject embayment? Yes 0 No Be the only human-made structure in the subject embayment? Yes 0 No Be different to the predominant type of mooring and vessels in the embayment? Yes 0 No For example, a pole mooring amongst swing moorings or a large mussel barge moored amongst small recreational runabouts. 2(g) Effects on Utilities, including Subaqueous Cables Do any utilities including subaqueous cables pass through the embayment? Yes 0 No You may wish to check a marine chart of the area and/or contact Don't know telecommunications company Chorus. If yes, could the location or type of subject mooring cause damage to any existing utilities? Yes No For an existing mooring(s) only, over the previous consent term, has the mooring or use of it caused damage to any existing utilities including any subaqueous cables? Yes No 2(h) Effects on Land Based Facilities Will the mooring(s) and associated vessel(s): Require or utilise a launching ramp, boatshed or similar shoreline facility? 0 Yes No Result in dinghy, vehicle and/or boat trailer parking on any public land or road? Yes 0 No Following on from the above two questions, please describe how and from where you access your moored vessel and where you store any associated dinghy, vehicle and/or boat trailer: We will require the launching ramp to launch and retrieve our vessel, however we have our own boat storage shed (15M x 12M), wash down area and parking area at our property and any dinghy, vehicle and/or boat trailer will be stored there. Consultation with Affected Persons 3(a) Introduction Consultation with persons who may be affected by the mooring(s) can have a bearing on the outcome of the application. Consultation involves discussing the proposal with others who may be affected by it, considering their responses, and deciding what will be done (if anything) to account for their concerns. There is however no obligation under the Resource Management Act 1991 for the applicant to consult any person. For moorings - proposed or existing - the main persons who may be potentially affected are neighbouring mooring owners, nearby land owners and Te Tau Ihu (top of the South Island) iwi that have a statutory acknowledgement for the area. 3(b) Statutory Acknowledgements A statutory acknowledgment is legal recognition of the particular cultural, spiritual, historical and traditional association of an iwi with an identified statutory area. Statutory acknowledgements for each of the Te Tau Ihu iwi form part of their respective Treaty of Waitangi settlements with the Crown. The settlements were legislated in 2014 and were enacted on 1 August The eight iwi of Te Tau Ihu to which these statutory acknowledgements relate are: Ngati Apa ki te Ra To Ngati Rama Page 4

10 Ngati Kuia Rangitane o Wairau Ngati Koata Ngati Tama ki Te Tau Ihu Te Atiawa o Te Waka-a-Maui Ngati Tea Rangatira Each of the above iwi have a statutory acknowledgement covering the coastal marine area of the entire Marlborough Sounds, and are therefore informed of every resource consent application affecting that area. If an applicant wishes to consult any one or more of the iwi prior to making an application, iwi contact details are on Council's website Council/Tanqata-Whenua.aspx or the Te Run! Kokiri website 3(c) Consultation Has any person or iwi been consulted about the subject mooring? 0 Yes No If yes, please outline the person(s) or iwi consulted and the outcomes of that consultation process below Bruno Brosnan rm@teatiawatrust.co.nz has been consulted - s attached Te Atiawa o Te Waka-a-Maui Trust Julia Eason iulia@nqatikuia.iwi.nz has been consulted - s attached Te Runanga O Ngati Kuia Clive Whitlock, Maritime Officer, Harbour Masters Office, Marlborough has been consulted - s attached Mark Young, Mooring 2887 Ngakuta Bay has been consulted - attached David Mossop & Denise Booth, Mooring 3576 has been consulted and have offered their full support - s attached Brent Wylie, Mooring 1098 has been consulted and has offered his full support - s attached Norm Wilson, Mooring 207 & 1086 has been consulted and has offered his full support - s attached Trevor Scott, Mooring 1092 has been consulted - attached Ngakuta Bay Boating Club, has been consulted and have offer their full support - s attached, details below Ngakuta Bay Boating Club.

11 John Aldridge Sean Walker Theo & Anna van de Wiel Craig Guest Gavin La wry Martin Letton Rex Page 3(d) Affected Persons Once the Council has received the application its officers will determine whether the application needs to be publicly notified. Public notification consists of the placement of a notice of the application in the local newspaper and a copy of the application being sent to interested persons. Within 20 working days thereafter, any person can make a submission to the Council on the application, stating their support, opposition or neutrality to the application. If the effects of the proposal on the environment are assessed as being minor, public notification will likely be unnecessary. If this is the case the Council may still identify individual persons who will be affected by the application, and may ask that the applicant seeks the written approval to the proposal from those affected persons. If the applicant is unwilling or unable to obtain those written approvals the Council will serve notice of the application on those identified persons - called 'limited notification'. The notified persons will then have an opportunity to make a submission on the application. 4. Objectives and Policies 4(a) Introduction Section 88 and Schedule 4 of the Resource Management Act 1991 requires each application for resource consent to include an assessment of the relevant provisions of the applicable resource management documents. Such an assessment must be specified in sufficient detail to satisfy the purpose for which it is required. The following documents and specified provisions therein are not an exhaustive list, but are likely to be of most relevance to an application for an ordinary mooring - either an existing or proposed mooring. 4(b) New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement Policy 6(2)(a): Recognise potential contributions to the social, economic and cultural wellbeing of people and communities from use and development of the coastal marine area. In what ways would being able to moor a vessel in the proposed location contribute to the applicant's wellbeing? Knowing that we can safely moor our vessel on a suitably sized and designed environmentally friendly mooring system will relieve the pressures involved with using our vessel. We intend to leave our vessel on our mooring only when it is in use and we are staying in the bay. When not in use, the vessel will be securely stored at our private property. Accessing our vessel during these times will promote the exploration of the Marlborough Sounds and area. It will also relieve the stresses involved with using the boat ramp. Being tidal the ramp has limited launching and retrieval times. During busy public holidays, children swim and play around the area including the new floating jetty built and installed by the boat club. At these times bringing a boat into the ramp can be difficult and stressful. The relief by having our own safe anchorage would benefit us hugely; it would promote relaxation and wellbeing within our family, allowing us the true Marlborough Sounds experience. Page 6

12 Policy 6(2)(b) Recognise the need to maintain and enhance the public open space and recreation qualities and values of the coastal marine area. Will the proposal detract from the recreation qualities and values of the area? Yes 0 No 4(c) Marlborough Regional Policy Statement Policy : To enable appropriate type, scale and location of activities by: clustering activities with similar effects and ensuring activities reflect the character and facilities available in the communities in which they are located. Will the subject mooring be clustered with others? 0 Yes No Will the subject mooring reflect the established character of the area? 0 Yes No 4(d) Marlborough Sounds Resource Management Plan Policy : Recognise and provide for continued tangata whenua access to and use of traditional coastal resources such as mataitai (seafood, shellfish), taiapure (reserved fishing grounds) and taonga raranga (plants valued for weaving). Will the subject mooring and associated vessel allow for such continued access and use? 0 Yes No Policy : Exclusive occupation of the coastal marine area or occupation which effectively excludes the public will only be allowed to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out the activity. Is the mooring tackle the minimum length necessary? 0 Yes No Policy : Avoid adverse effects from the occupation of coastal space in or around recognised casual anchoring areas Is the subject embayment suitable for use as a casual anchorage? 0 Yes No Will the subject mooring and associated vessel constrain the available anchoring area? Yes 0 No Policy : Avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects of activities and structures on navigation and safety, within the coastal marine area. Will the mooring be located and maintained to ensure safe navigation and maritime safety? 0 Yes No Additional Notes to Applicants 5(a) Official Information The information supplied in the application is official information. It will be used to process the application and, together with other official information, assist in the management of the region's natural and physical resources. Access to information held by the Marlborough District Council is administered in accordance with the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and Privacy Act This means that information within this application may be disclosed to other people who request it in accordance with the terms of these acts. 5(b) Application and Consent Costs The Council operates a user-pays policy for the processing of resource consent applications. This means the applicant (rather than ratepayers) will be charged for the actual and reasonable costs associated with the processing of the application. A copy of the policy and complete schedule of current fees are available on our website: An initial application processing fee of $ (including GST) must be paid at the time of lodging the application for resource consent. The application will not be accepted for processing until this fee has been paid. If payment is made into Council's bank account , please put the applicant name and either the property number or consent type as a reference. If you require a GST receipt for a bank payment, please tell us. The total fee for processing the application will depend on the complexity of the proposal, the significance of its effects and the notification and hearing process required to determine the application. A simple application which is not publicly notified will typically cost between $700 and Page 7

13 $900 to process, while a complex application requiring a public hearing is likely to cost upwards of $5,000. The processing fee must be paid regardless of the outcome of the application. The applicant is liable for all fees and charges relating to this application. Payment is due within thirty (30) days of the issue date of any subsequent invoice. Council will charge interest on overdue invoices at 15% per annum from the date of issue to the date of payment. In the event of non-payment the applicant will be liable for all legal and other costs of recovery. 5(c) Timeframes for Reaching a Decision Section 115 of the Resource Management Act 1991 sets out the time limits within which the Council must determine the application. If the application is not publicly notified a decision can be expected within 20 working days of a complete application being lodged. If the application is publicly notified a decision can be expected within 60 working days, unless a public hearing is required in which case a decision can be expected within 130 working days. The term 'working days' excludes weekends, public holidays and those periods where Council is awaiting further information or affected party approvals from the applicant. 5(d) Ongoing Responsibilities of the Applicant If the application is granted, the consent holder will be responsible for complying with the conditions of consent and the payment of any monitoring charges Council incurs in monitoring the exercise of the consent. If the consent holder wishes to cancel (surrender) the consent, transfer it to another party or change any conditions of consent, the consent holder must submit written notice to the Council and pay any required charge. 6.

14 Appendix 1 Mooring Construction Guidelines These guidelines are not intended as a substitute for the need to address the particular seabed and weather conditions encountered at each individual mooring site. It is recommended that you consult a professional mooring provider and/or chartered professional engineer for site specific advice tailored for the vessel/s to be moored. Be aware that risk cannot be completely eliminated in the mooring of a vessel. Council does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage which may occur as a consequence of the use of these guidelines or otherwise. Construction Specifications Mooring Class Vessel Length Block Weight Ground Chain Diameter (mm) Mooring Chain Diameter (mm) Rope Diameter (mm) Class A Up to 6 metres 1 tonne Class B 6-12 metres 2 tonnes Class C metres 3 tonnes Class D metres 4 tonnes Class E > 18 metres Vessel specific design by a chartered professional engineer with experience in mooring structures. 1. Shallow water moorings in a depth of 5 metres or less to be designed to suit with respect to these guidelines. 2. Total length of the chain to be the depth of water at mean high water springs with one third of this chain to be ground chain, (see below) 3. Length of the rope to be equal to the depth of water at mean high water springs, (see below) The total length of the mooring tackle should be equal to twice the water depth at Mean High Water Springs at the mooring site. Generally, mooring tackle consists of a combination of chain and rope totalling twice the water depth. 4. All shackles must be welded. 5. Swivels may be used at the mooring provider's discretion, but where these are used, the size of the swivel must be commensurate with that of the chain. 6. Anodes may be used at the mooring provider's discretion. 7. All mooring blocks must be designed by a Chartered Professional Engineer with expertise in mooring structures and be made to those specifications. 8. Similar metals are to be used throughout. 9. Moorings of different design and/or manufacture will be considered on a case by case basis. As a minimum, such moorings must be supported by appropriate Chartered Professional Engineer design drawings and certification. Mooring Inspection Requirements 1. Moorings must be recovered to the water surface for the purpose of inspection. 2. All tackle is to be replaced at 20% wear. 3. Moorings must be inspected at intervals not exceeding 2 years. 4. A completed mooring inspection report must be forwarded to the Manager Resource Consents, Marlborough District Council, not later than 30 days after the inspection. Page 9

15 1 ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT FOR Stewart Allan Stanley, Dale Robert May & Jacqueline Monique May as trustees of the D & J May Family Trust Positive Effects & Wellbeing The ability to moor our vessel in the bay will benefit our family greatly. The convenience of accessing our mooring will enhance our boating experience as it will alleviate the stresses involved with launching and retrieving our vessel from the tidal ramp in Ngakuta Bay making the delivery of both young and old family members safe and secure. A mooring will also encourage the exploration of the wider sounds and significantly enhance our boating experience. It will relieve the pressures involved with using the tidal ramp especially at peak times and promote relaxation and wellbeing for our family opening opportunities to participate in local activities and community events with ease. Knowing that our vessel is moored on an environmentally friendly designed mooring system (Marine Flex) will be visually pleasing within the bay and will offer peace of mind and security of our investment. We have the support of the wider residence and community, along with the Ngakuta Bay Boating Club members. Another mooring in the bay should not affect the safe mooring of vessels or the navigational routes within the bay. Effects on Navigational & Maritime Safety The proposed mooring will be positioned on New Zealand Transverse Mercator N E , in 10 metres at high tide and 8.4 metres at low tide. Tackle length will be 12 metres. The estimated swing circle radius will be 18.6M. Should strong winds or storm conditions occur the Marine Flex By Pass system will restrict the mooring elongation to 80%. Therefore for that "moment in time" only the tackle elongation may extend by a maximum of 1.5M. This elongation is only for the moment of the wind gust or storm condition and only if there is weight on the mooring i.e. a vessel. The tackle will return to the original resting length immediately the weather conditions subside. A scale drawing showing the estimated resting and elongated tackle lengths is attached along with a location plan showing the proposed site in relation to the neighbouring moorings and area. We have also included the 2012 chat from the Ngakuta Bay Community Association which was created and sent to council with a proposal to establish a mooring management zone in Ngakuta Bay. The proposed mooring is within this preferred zone area. Word Moorings Resource Consents Assessment of Effects on Environment_Dale May November 2016

16 2 The proposed mooring specification will be Class B, suitable for a vessel up to 12M in length. The applied lenrth will be 10M. The mooring construction will be an elastic tackle Marine Flex together with a 3 tonne concrete mooring block. The location does not hinder navigational routes or any structures in the bay and is situated within a general cluster of moorings. It does not impede navigation to or from any of the nearby jetties, launching ramps or similar. The swing circle also does not interfere or overlap with any of the existing moorings, and as mentioned above is within the zone preferred by the Community Association. All vessels operating within 200 metres of shore should be underway at less than 5 knots so navigational safety should not be compromised with the addition of this mooring. The application is associated to Property No , Lot 3 DP The mooring is to be used to moor our private vessel and will only accommodate one vessel at any time with the maximum vessel length not exceeding 10M. The mooring will be maintained biennial (and / or as maintenance is required) to ensure that the system remains fit for purpose. Effects on Recreational Value & Casual Anchoring This area of the sounds has an established residential development within the bay and many of these properties have swing moorings. An additional mooring should not affect the safe mooring of the community vessels or their navigational routes, and the presence of another buoy will not affect the recreational activities to any extent. Recreational activities are carried out within the bay. This application will not limit any of these activities as the position of the mooring has been well sited within a cluster of existing moorings. The shoreline is not popular for diving due to the muddy seabed and the lack of interesting marine life. Water sports, including swimming, sailing, kayaking, yachting and fishing are the main activities and the addition of this mooring will not hinder these activities. The general area is not generally recognised as a casual overnight anchorage. Should this be required there is available space. Effects on Marine Ecology N-Viro has undertaken a dive survey on the proposed site and immediate area, noting soft flat seabed, mud and limited shell. At the time of survey there were no fin fish evident. N-Viro found no marine life that may be displaced or disturbed by the application. The Grove Arm and Ngakuta Bay are identified as having areas of dense beds of "red algae" however the location of this mooring system is outside of this area. Word Moorings Resource Consents Assessment of Effects on Environment_Dale May November 2016

17 3 The mooring will be a concrete block with an elastic mooring tackle (Marine Flex). The mooring block will cause slight disturbance to the seabed at the time of installation, this will settle quickly. The Marine Flex tackle will have no contact with the sea floor therefore there will be no destruction of the seabed and marine life surrounding the mooring. The expectation is for the block to become a mini reef creating opportunities for marine life to develop. The vessel to be moored does not have a sewage treatment system and / or holding tanks but as the owners have a residence in Ngakuta Bay, overnight visiting on this vessel will not occur. No waste will be discharged into the environment. Effects on Visual Amenities & Natural Character There are many registered moorings in the surrounding area. The proposed mooring has been situated with a cluster of moorings in the bay and will not compromise the existing character, amenities, or change any significant visual effect on the surrounding area. The mooring cluster has been part of the marine-scape for many years and the addition of another buoy will not affect this. The overall affect will be less than minor given the sensible location of the mooring within the mooring zone preferred by the community and residence. The mooring site is well positioned; there are no structures in the vicinity. The addition of this mooring will not change the visual effects and it will be consistent with the existing area complimenting the general view in keeping with the aesthetics of the bay. Effects on Utilities including Subaqueous Cables No undersea cables were located by N-Viro on the dive survey. No cables were located on the seafloor, or in the general area of the mooring site. Effects on Land Base Facilities As property owners the proposal will not affect the land based facilities within the bay. We will require the launching ramp to launch and retrieve our vessel, however we have our own boat storage shed, parking and wash down area at our property and any dinghy, vehicle and/or boat trailer will be stored there. We will not obstruct public land. Effects of the Activity of Installation N-Viro's specialised construction vessel Soundz Image will be used to install the mooring system. Construction of the system will be completed from this vessel platform. Word Moorings Resource Consents Assessment of Effects on Environment_Dale May November 2016

18 4 Installation will be made using our Differential Global Positioning System using satellite technology which is accurate to within 0.5 metres on the earth's surface. Soundz Image works extensively in the sounds and is widely known and recognised by locals who are used to its presence. Other Effects on the Environment The seabed around the mooring location is soft mud (see photos). The mooring location is within a bay already acknowledged as being a safe anchorage and the proposed mooring will not affect the aesthetics in the bay. It has been clustered with the existing moorings to minimise the use of open water space, and is not intended to compromise the existing character or create significant visual effect on the surrounding area. It is not evident that any particular birdlife or fish species would be adversely affected by the proposal. The only minor affect on the seabed will be at installation and this will settle quickly. The mooring and vessel will enable the applicants to enjoy and explore the wider Marlborough Sounds, participating in community activities and local events. It will relieve the pressure of accessing a tidal launching ramp with limited retrieval times due to tides and increased activities during peak times. It will encourage healthy recreational activities and ease the stresses of modern life, promoting relaxation and wellbeing for the family Volunteered Conditions We volunteer the following conditions: 1. That our mooring be linked to our property in Phillips Road, Grove Arm, Ngakuta Bay. Property Number , Lot 3 DP That our mooring resource consent term will coincide with the moorings within the area due to expire no later than November We are pleased to install an environmentally friendly elastic mooring system (Marine Flex) to prevent any disturbance of the seabed. Consultation with Affected Parties Neighbouring moorings have been identified as NOT being affected as the new application will not influence or obstruct their mooring approach nor impinge on their swing circles in any way.

As per below, chain. I am a resident in Ngakuta Bay. I am looking at trying to install a mooring in the bay for an 8m vessel (as below) Just doing some leg work prior to going further. N-Viro have suggested we use the bungee system which would create no overlap of Mooring 207. Greatest % of time boat is kept out of the water. I am just becoming safety wary of the peak times around the ramp area. During busy times I feel leaving the boat on a mooring is going to be the safer option. I have spoken & communicated with Peter Johnson (originally I was looking at more to the left) he has suggested better location as attached. This has also just come through from our Ngakuta boating club: Which is confirming my concerns Each year during peak season people swimming & playing around the ramp is increasing. Hi, all. Two things. 1. Just a heads up that the National Scout Jamboree will be holding some activities in the Bay on 30 and 31 December and 2, 3, 5 and 6 January. Please be aware that there will be up to 60 scouts on each day, arriving by Beachcomber ferry, and there will be rowing, kayaking and swimming activities in various parts of the Bay. Please exercise care and consideration at what will be a very busy time. Please advise of your thoughts & idea's Feel free to give me a call Thanks in advance Regards Dale May Ph

37 Giii Herbert From: Sent: To: Subject; Ngakuta Bay Community Assoc 27 October :02 a.m. Gill Herbert Re: N-Viro Ltd : May Family, Ngakuta Bay Proposed Mooring Notification Thank you for sending this information to the Association. I know the topic ot moorings has been on going for many years now and as a community we are anxious to get a mooring plan formalised by the Marlborough District Council. Below are some thoughts from our President who has followed the debate more closely than I and reflects the opinion of the residents Re mooring proposal: 1. Position. The proposed position is directly in the path of the approach to the wharf which Is an area the MDC and users are keen to clear of Impediments 2. Mooring plan: The mooted mooring plan for the Bay will delineate areas where moorings are possible without undue encroachment on other bay usage. Applications should be delayed or on moratorium until that plan is installed, due to the excess of current moorings in the bay. 3. Present usage: Many moorings are unused for all but the peak holiday period and even then many remain vacant. The NBCA maintains a website, naakutabavcommunitv.weebly.com It would be possible to have a section devoted to moorings available for use for periods of time (similar to bookabach) which should allow for periodic users to satisfy their needs without a huge clutter of rarely used moorings clogging the bay. As a community association we do not desire to see the May application go to an environmental hearing such as did the TomUnson mooring application. Considering the MDC position and Bay residents desires to see a reduction, not increase, in moorings In the bay, should temper this proposal. Judith Andrews Secretary NBCA i

38 Gill Herbert From: Sent: To: Subject; John Aldridge 3 November :08 a.m. NBCA NEWSLETTER HI, Judith. In the recent newsletter, you invite comments on your Chairman's thoughts, which you say reflect the opinion of most residents. I use the same paragraph numbering. 1. The proposed position of the mooring appears to be (just) within the boundary of the preferred mooring zone submitted by the Association to Council in their management plan. The position was determined by Council as being suitable. It is further from the approach fairway to the jetty than several other moorings (207, 1098, 1102 and 1099). 2. If you refer to the notes of the meeting between Norm Wilson, myself and Pere Hawes of Council on 22nd(?) December 2015, it is clear that Council has not yet even formulated a policy on mooring management. When it does, the first area to be implemented will be Waikawa Bay. It will be years before a mooring management plan is implemented in Ngakuta Bay. A moratorium on new moorings is just not a practical proposition. 3. It is quite reasonable that residents should have buoys for the periods that they are in the bay using their boats. I would rather see a bay full of empty mooring buoys than boats. Perhaps the issue is people who have multiple moorings. I see no reason not to support the mooring application. Regards, John Surf before you surf - i

As a property owner 1 was very fortunate to have a mooring come with our property thus letting us enjoy boating in the bay without being challenged by launch and retrieval at low tide in a shallow bay. I believe if you own property in the bay you should have the right to access your own mooring in the bay. Maybe our energy should be put into the many moorings that clearly have not been serviced in many years thus making them low in the water and a boating hazard. Other issues making the bay crowded are people with multiple moorings that they do not use. Further issues for our community are moorings in the bay not attached to property meaning these owner are not contributing to the advancement of our bay. Regards Sean Walker 1

Attached please find a copy of an aerial map showing a "yellow" swing circle for the proposed new mooring installation in Ngakuta Bay, The mooring site relates to the May family, who are land owners in Ngakuta Bay who wish to moor their private vessel whilst visiting their holiday residence. The May family feel this is particularly important during the peak periods when the boat ramp is busy with holiday makers and children. Having access to a mooring would reduce the stress involved with bringing the boat in and out of the tidal boat ramp especially at theses times. As a courtesy the May family have requested that I make contact with you to notify you of their intentions and request your support for their application. Your reply will be included and lodged with the Marlborough District Council Resource Consent paperwork. The applicant's details are: Dale Robert May, Jacqueline Monique May & Stewart Allan Stanley as trustees of the D & J May Family Trust Property Location: Phillips Road, Grove Arm Property Number: Legal Description; Lot 3 DP Vessel Length 10M Environmentally friendly elastic Marine Flex mooring system The location of the mooring system has been positioned so that it does not interfere with any swing circles. The spacing is such that we have not wasted valuable water space, while leaving the established approach to the foreshore clear. The position also allows ample space surrounding the cluster of existing moorings. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. i

Below is another resident at 49 Phillips Rd. As you can see residents association has never asked for members feedback? I have also been informed that not long ago the Chairman sold his mooring to a non-resident in the bay? This in its self goes against the associations views, Thanks Regards Dale May Ph From: Martin Letton rmailto:martiniletton(a)hotmai!.com1 Sent: Tuesday, 15 November :48 a.m. To: daletsqearrymav.co.nz Subject: Mooring Letton : 49 Phillips Road As a owner of property in the bay and a member of the residents association I have never been approached by anyone about moorings and would have no objection to the May family having a mooring.

We have also contacted the Ngakuta Boating Club, who have also replied favourably, and the Ngakuta Bay Residence Association who's President has commented. We have also received support from local community members who have sent through s in support of this application. The mooring wilt enable the May family to securely moor their personal vessel whilst at their Ngakuta Bay residence. It will alleviate the issues with using the tidal boat ramp especially at the busy times of year when the bay community swells. When not at the bay the family intend to store their vessel and associated equipment in their purpose built storage facility on their property. I have attached the application form, supplementary forms, aerial location map and photos plus correspondence from community members and mooring owners within Ngakuta Bay, We hope to lodge this application in the near future.
