Description: Locations where river flow or stage measurements have been recorded. These locations are derived from Environment Canterbury's Gaugings Database. Each record summarises the date of the first and most recent survey, the number of surveys recorded for the site, whether the site is monitored for a specific reason (such as for compliance or low flow monitoring purposes) and lists the minimum and maximum surveyed flows recorded.
Description: Records showing a summary of a consented activity related to extracting surface water for domestic or commercial as recorded within Environment Canterbury's Resource Management Act Database. This layer contains water take features that are represented as points.
Depending on the nature and conditions of the consent, more than location point may be associated with a single consent. The feature type property indicates the nature of the recorded activity. The layer includes details on: The type of permit (land use consent, discharge permit, etc.), the section of the RMA underwhich the activity was permitted, the current status of the permit (active, expired, replaced, etc.), the name of the applicant, a description of the location where the activity related to the permit is undertaken, and if the permit was successfully issued, the period over which the permiitted activities apply. Activity specific details related to maximum allowable application rates and volumes, and allocation regimes are also included if relavent to the type of take. The layer also contains several sumary fields related to spatially defined regions the location lies with including: which territorial local authority(s); the Land and Water Regional Plan groundwater & surface water allocation zones and nutrient management zone; the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) zone; the Ngai Tahu Runanga area of interest for Resource Consenting purposes; and the clean air zone.

Description: When inanga spawn they do so in mass over a very small area. The largest known physical area of inanga spawning in Canterbury is less than 60 m2(National Inanga Spawning Database: trends and implications for spawning sites and management; Taylor; M.J. 2002). Most sites are less than 10 m2. Extent based on the LINZ Top50 dataset where applicable.

Description: This layer shows lengths of Canterbury Rivers that are deamed as a significant spawning sites for salmon. Based from Schedule WQN14 Chapter 5 of the NRRP.Grid References were converted to NZTM2000 to make upstream and downstream extent markers. LINZ NZTopo50 River data was used as a basis to create this feature class.As a number of sites do not have an upstream map reference and instead have a contour that indicates the upper extent of the spawning area. The reason for this is that these streams generally include several tributaries and all are significant. The reference to the contour is intended to capture all tributaries feeding into the stream above its lower reference point.

Name: Defences against water - Flood protection vegetation boundary (Flood Protection and Drainage Bylaw 2013)
Display Field: STATUS
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline
Description: A draft boundary line shows areas of vegetation retained under the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act (1941).A desired boundaryline showsareas where it would be beneficial to increase the vegetated buffer width to the land side so that a consistent protective buffer can be achieved. In some cases, on the river side, the actual buffer width will depend on whether or not the vegetated buffer can be made to fill the area to the desired fairway edge in a reasonable time or not. On the landward side, any areas for new planting will need to be agreed with the landowner (and in general terms at least by the rating district).
Name: Floodways (Flood Protection and Drainage Bylaw 2013)
Display Field: STATUS
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline
Description: See RMA definition of riverbed and NRRP guidance 6.2 2 2. Generally, a river bed line shows the outside toe of the stopbank where there are stopbanks (provided the stopbank is of a sufficient standard), a terrace, or, where there are no well-defined terraces or stopbanks, a pragmatic boundary such as a ridge, the edge of a channel or a road. Where a "draft river bed" line is shown, a"alternativeriver bed line"is less preferred. Where there are multiple "alternative" lines shown, there is less certainty about which line is most reasonable. Where there is only one "alternative" line and no "draft"line, this is an area where there is little evidence and least confidence in the line.

Description: Coastal Marine Area boundary and the landward boundaries of Hazard Zones 1 and 2 within the Canterbury Region as shown in the Canterbury Regional Coastal Environment Plan 2005.
The Coastal Marine Area Boundary (CMA) along the line of Mean High Water Springs (MHWS) is indicative only. Environment Canterbury has defined Hazard Zones along the Region’s coast. Two zones are defined:
Hazard Zone 1 - This is a zone delimited by a line approximately parallel with the
shoreline, set inland from mean high water mark springs, which contains the current active beach system and land that is at risk from coastal erosion within 50 years of this Plan being produced.
Hazard Zone 2 - This is inland from Hazard Zone 1, and marks land that is at risk from coastal erosion in the period 50 to 100 years of this Plan being produced.

Name: DOC - Sites of Special Wildlife Significance
Display Field: SOURCECODE
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: The Sites of Special Wildlife Interest (SSWI) wildlife habitat ranking system was
developed by the Fauna Survey Unit of the former New Zealand Wildlife Service. The Fauna Survey Unit surveyed the whole of New Zealand between 1977 and 1985 on a region by region basis to identify all "sites of special wildlife interest". All natural or semi-natural areas important as habitat for one or more species of wildlife were evaluated and each site ranked, according to a set of standard criteria, into five groups on the basis of their value to wildlife, ie, outstanding, high, moderate-high, moderate and potential. SSWI ranking system is officially recognised and continues to be used by the Department of Conservation.

Description: WERI (Wetlands of Ecological and Representative Importance), is a computer database which contains records on approximately 3,000 wetlands throughout New Zealand. Originated by the Department of Conservation. The Department holds inventories on wetlands: WERI database (Wetlands of Ecological and Regional Importance), Coastal Resource Inventory (including wetlands such as mangroves) and SSWI (Sites of Special Wildlife Interest). These inventories, particular WERI, form an important basis for the Department's advocacy of appropriate management of wetlands by private landowners. Conservation Management Strategies and Regional Policy Statements have provided Department of Conservation and Regional Councils with the chance to identify and state management goals for wetlands on a regional basis. Information includes size; location; land ownership; classification (hydro class, geomorphic origin, community class, dominant plant species); modifiers and threats; buffer, wildlife and vegetation values; other ecological values; cultural values; significance; and sources of information.

Description: A National Trust open space covenant is a legally binding protection agreement, which is registered on the title of the land. It is voluntary but once in place binds the current and all subsequent landowners.
Each covenant is unique. It can apply to the whole property or just part of the property.
There can be different management areas within a covenant with varying applicable conditions. Conditions can be stringent where rare or vulnerable natural features or habitats are being protected.

Description: Mudfish(Refer Chapter 5: Rule WQN20The Department of Conservation’s New Zealand mudfish (Neochanna spp.) recovery plan 2003-13, has identified the Canterbury mudfish (Neochanna burrowsius) as acutely threatened. Mudfish are characteristically hard to find. The adults are nocturnal, and the species' ability to aestivate (burrow into mud for periods of several weeks) adds to the difficulty of identifying their presence.The places indicated on the planning maps have all been verified since 2000, but even recent observations can be difficult to replicate, and new discoveries are still being made. For mapping purposes, information recorded for a site has been extrapolated in the light of known mudfish behaviour to include areas of the same waterbody beyond the actual record site.
