Onepoto Domain, a Unitec, Auckland City Council and Onepoto Residents Association Incorporated project seeks to reveal the landscape that has been hidden beneath a sea of pampas grass for far too long.

Onepoto Domain is nestled amongst Auckland’s suburban North Shore. It currently provides areas for multiple types of recreational activity. These range from passive areas, such as open space, to active areas like the children’s playgrounds and sports fields. This Domain is a major resource for the Northcote/Birkenhead area and the proposed development aims at increasing the useable space and amenity whilst mitigating the stormwater and accessibility issues that are currently prevalent throughout the site.

Upon the removal of the pampas grass from the designated site (Fig 1), this proposal aims to incorporate the newly constructed boardwalk into a multi faceted design that enhances and complements the existing Domain whilst placing a large amount of emphasis on rejuvenating the native flora, fauna and hydrological systems.

Theme During the initial design phase, a strong theme of ‘ hide and reveal’ became apparent. This principle creates an element of anticipation and surprise by concealing spaces or views. It makes the experience more personal as it feels like something new is being discovered.

This technique is highly used in foreign gardens and landscapes. The Japanese call it ‘Miegakure’ and it is used to great effect throughout internationally recognized designs (Fig 2). Although a different cultural style, the amount of lure this technique creates is very powerful.

The basis of this theme was founded on the past construction of mounds that are common throughout the domain. Although these current mounds are for planting purposes, by increasing the size and planting density, it is possible to attain different qualities and provide an insightful and curious development.

Mounding Once exploring the site, users will discover numerous passive areas that are suitable for different activities, which will in turn, reveal new view-shafts with the aim being that the entire design is not all visible from one location. By creating this feeling of discovery, local residence and regular visitors will be excited and stimulated by each visit to the site.

This theme will allow more of the site to be accessed whilst restoring the natural beauty of the land providing a multi seasonal escape from its suburban surroundings.

To make this experience possible, mounding will be constructed at specific locations around the site. The majority of these will be planted with native vegetation to conceal spaces or focal points however some do pose multiple purposes.

The central mound will elevate up to the boardwalk level to provide an unofficial exit. Thin exotic planting will slightly enclose this space to give a sense of grandeur once exited. The second exotically vegetated mound will be to the north and will be dissected by a grass pathway as it rises above, providing a different sense of enclosure.

Flanking the sports fields will be two separate mounds that will have native vegetation on the eastern side but mowed grass to the west.

This provides shelter and raised vantage points for spectators whilst allowing clear view-shafts, luring any curious mind into the revealing landscape.

The theme of ‘hide and revel’ will suit the low-lying nature of the site and maximize the significance that the boardwalk will have amongst its surroundings. The boardwalk will remain the main thoroughfare through the site but by creating narrow view shafts that partially reveal intriguing new spaces will tempt users to venture off the beaten track and investigate more of the domain rather than walking the constructed routes.

Focal Points

Navigation

Due to the importance of the hydrological systems, the low-lying areas will become the focal points. The existing wetland area to the east of the boardwalk will be extended and the native rush (Juncus) that is currently thriving in that location will be extended. A riparian edge will be planted to assist with the water treatment.

Aside from the existing boardwalk, new grass pathways will be mowed.

To ensure that the site remains natural, grass has been chosen due to its pliable nature. Some areas will be mowed short, creating obvious pathways and some will remain long, allowing for unofficial walkways and areas for dogs to roam. The mowed pathways will link the central boardwalk to the eastern track creating flow throughout the entire site and further afield. A strong contrast between the constructed and natural will be apparent, with the constructed aspects dissipating as the user ventures from the boardwalk.

To the north, two new ponds will be developed, one either side of the boardwalk. This location has been specifically chosen due to the existing over-ground stream that flows adjacent to the path. With the creation of the ponds, the water flow and water quality will meliorate, providing benefits throughout the site, specifically the existing pond to the south of the Domain.

This technique allows for the users imagination to determine their experience while being guided by subtle cues within the landscape.

Apart from their practical advantages, they will add a large amount of amenity value. With the designated view-shafts created from vegetation and mounding, these wet areas provide focal points that will entice users to wander the landscape.

By upgrading the existing wetland and creating the new ponds, Onepoto Domain will become an ecological haven. Birds and aquatic species will flock to the site, ensuring the continual integration of man and nature.

With the construction of the new ponds, the excavated material will be used to construct the mounds. This form of eco-sourcing ensures that no unwanted seeds or vegetation encroaches on the Domain.

Design Interpretation A vital component to the successful development of site ecology is the awareness and responsibility that is placed on the sites users. By giving priority to the allowance of recreation within this development the space becomes an area that people take a sense of pride and ownership over, ensuring the best possible outcomes for biodiversity and ecological integrity. Information delivery and education will be a vital part of the community buying into the scheme, ensuring they understand site ecology to monitor and interact with it appropriately. Interpretive signage on key features will ensure that the domains users are aware of the various processes that are acting within each area. It is paramount that domain users feel a sense of ownership over the scheme, that the design is a direct response to needs and desired outcomes, so addressing these outcomes foremost and then suggesting and educating on the flow on effects and ecological benefits of the scheme will make this a successful design.

Onepoto Domain | Design Scheme Two | July 2014

The key ecological components that will be addressed within this design plan for the development of Onepoto domain are ecosystem integrity, allowing for dynamic nature that is resilient through change, ensuring that static interventions on the site are minimal and dictated by necessity. The design aims at low input and maintenance cost after the establishment period, a successful outcome will be a system that is predominantly self-sufficient in the way that weeds, water and sediment are managed. Measurable outcomes will be water quality improvements, biodiversity increase, management cost reduction, along with outcomes which are less tangible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; recreation value, enjoyment, aesthetic value, community feelings of ownership and education.

1. INTRODUCTION The new Onepoto domain walkway project is located on the northeast of the Onepoto domain. A new shared cycle and pedestrian footpath and boardwalk are installed from the northern entrance off Exmouth Street, through the wetlands area and provide new access to the domain.

The existing footpath through the native bush along the eastern side of the reserve will be upgrade. The weed management plant will cover the wetland and bush area on northeastern Onepoto domain.

Onepoto domain provides massive natural environmental benefit and access network for people daily life throughout neighbor. To protect this wonderful natural treasure the site needs to be managed in an environment-friendly way that ensure ecosystem service quality. Managing the infest weed throughout the site requires a comprehensive approach.

1.1 Site Description The wetland recently has been removed pampas grass except the west side of boardwalk and bush edge. Native plants such as NZ flax, cabbage tree and juncus scatter throughout the wetland and a juncus patch sites in the central wetland. The on site bush is native bush, native broadleaf species mainly distribute. The new boardwalk is installed along the existing stormwater drainage.

In new landscape design, the mounds and wetland ponds will be built to create undulating topography and densely plant native and exotic species throughout the wetland. Formal and informal mowing path is designed for weed management and pedestrian walk.

1.2 Site Purpose As a recreation reserve, Onepoto attract local residents even throughout Auckland by its natural environment benefit. The new boardwalk is designed for pedestrian and cyclist and mainly utilized by local residents, school groups and local communities. In new landscape design, the wetland will involve people to explore and enjoy natural environment by different activities such as cycling and picnic.

The Auckland Councils Weed Management Policy is to guide the management of weeds in Auckland’s parks and open spaces. The policy states “weed is defined as any plant growing where it is not wanted and which has an adverse effect” (Weed Management Policy, 2013). Auckland Council has responsibility to develop and implement weed management policy and ensure all council stuff, landowners and contractors adhere to the policy.

The policy also states the weed management plan should integrated use current best practice methodologies in prevention and management of weed. Best practice weed control requires include research of up-to-date weed management techniques, both locally and internationally, and continual innovation to achieve effective, efficient and sustainable outcomes.

3. EXISTING WEED ISSUE Environmental weeds are plants that can significantly and adversely impact the health of native plant and animal in long period. Weeds will influence the ecological process by changing the environmental structure. Auckland’s climate is very appropriate for wide range of plants is able to grow here. New Zealanders are also keen on gardening so that most weeds are introduced and is garden escaped.

In general, streams and roads connect urban areas with more remote tracts of undeveloped land tend to act as corridors for the spread of weeds occurring further up in the catchment. Fencing and regeneration of riparian margins sometimes encouraged to enhance in stream habitat and water quality but may exacerbate the weed problem. The combination of modified, fragmented natural areas in close proximity to residential areas is a ‘habitat’ for weed invasion.

The prior weed problem is pampas grass grown in wetland area, pampas is commonly identified to be a serious threat to New Zealand’s natural ecosystems and habitats causing disruptions in visibility, large fire risks, removal or replacement of native vegetation and a place of home for fauna type pests such as rabbits, rats and possums. The major pampas grass distribution is recently removed from the wetland area but leave with Onepoto domain north margin and west edge of native bush.

After mowing machinery remove most weed in wetland, some noxious weeds still survive and scatter near the boardwalk such as thistle, gorse and woolly nightshade. The weed grows along the post of boardwalk but most of them are not seriously threaten the wetland environment.

The native species are densely distributed in the native broadleaf bush walk so that this area is relatively weed free and well maintained. However, on the way up to the entrance of Sylvan Ave, there is a small gap which the bush plants don cover and directly expose to the pampas. Weeds such as wild ginger and Convolvulus rampantly invade on this area and cause very serious problem for cabbage tree and other young native seedling. Wandering jew and dollar weed scramble wildly and form to floor mat in the bush. These areas are all near the residential property and weeds spread all the way on the path toward to the Sylvan Ave.

4. PROPOSED WEED MANAGEMENT APPROACH Although the site needs urgent treatment for the weed control, this area is very sensitive as its wetland character and surrounding playground and residential property. Minimise the agrichemical use is an important criteria for not polluting the air, water and soil resource.

Public health and safety must be ensured for anytime. The boardwalk will be highly used by local residents for environmental recreation and educational values with high quality of nature character, high utilization rate increasing the risk of using agrichemicals. The indigenous and historical flora and fauna need to be protected meanwhile the pest plant controlling is also an object. At last, low maintenance is required as there is no many communities volunteer as labour to carry out the treatment for weed control.

Remove all the pampas and other invasive and noxious weeds for new wetland design installing and construction.

Remove the entire weed in native bush by using eco-friendly technique.

The weed removal must not cause adversely affect to the health of local biological communities and natural habitat.

The removal progress must not cause pollution to the natural resource such as water and soil.

Surveillance to detect new weed problems at valuable sites before they become unmanageable and expensive.

Support and facilitate community understanding and involvement in the management of weed impacts.

4.1.2 Weed Management Policies for Wetland 4.1.2.1 Policies and Approaches To remove the pampas and noxious weed, the mowing machinery need to be required for the comprehensive and rapid effect. For the other easy-controlled weed such as dock and cleaver, hand pull and herbicide spray could be carried out. And there is a new way with ‘saturated steam’ machinery to control the small-scale weed. As the wetland character, the herbicide must be biological base such as fungi herbicide products which will not cause pollution or poison the soil and water resource for this sensitive and fragile ecosystem. However some of the weeds do not have effective bioherbicide and required for the chemical one, in this situation, dosage and frequency need to be scrupulously considered and all the chemical herbicide must not access to the water resource. What’s more, all the equipment and machinery should biofuel for protecting the ecosystem.

4.1.2.2 Remove Techniques · Initial weed removal (pampas, gorse and other noxious weed) by mowing machinery (e.g bulldozer) · Laying of weed and erosion control material. · bioherbicide spray control, hand eradication or use Saturated Steam technique to control small-scale weed and prevent weed regrowth. · Plant with selected species in planting plan. · Mulching 100mm after soil is wet and better do it in autumn.

The two pampas grass strip all located on the margin of wetland.

One connects to Onepoto domain and another connects to the bush walk. Once pampas and other noxious weed such as gorse are eradicated the site will expose and become a bare earth situation as the existing wetland. Some effective process of following spray and hand eradication will need to be carried out on the wetland site in order to control re-growth and promote desirable growth situation for the replace plants and future development.

The bare earth areas need to be considered about revegetation techniques and will require covering with biodegradable erosion and weed control matting. The biodegradable products must be weed-free and have good water absorption capabilities, erosion control benefits and can supply nutrients to plant. What's more the products have visual integration and insulation properties to surrounding environment.

The weed removal will require massive labour and voluteers from local board and local communities. weed removal plan

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO WEED STATUS Tolerant of a wide range of extreme climate and soil conditions and recovers well after fire.

• Quick colonise any cleared land and a major threat to many native habitats.

• Not only replaced low-­‐growing native plants but creates a fire hazard, provide a habitat for vermin and impedes access to tracks and other areas.

• Reducing the area available for grazing by livestock on pastureland.

• It competes with young forest trees, and makes access to forests difficult for pruning and thinning operations.

• It is quite dry in summer and stands susceptible to fire.

• Taking the place of grass and clover and increase scabby mouth.

• Paradox in sheep.

• Harming grassland.

• Tolerant of most herbicides and seeds are not killed by the fumigation.

•

CONTROL TECHNIQUE

• Dig or grub out seedling and small plants • Large stands will need to be removed with a bulldozer • Once eradicated, replaced with native toetoe (Austroderia fulvida), tussocks ( Chionochloa spp.) and gossamer grass (Anemanthele lessoniana)

• Gorse can be killed using such herbicides as triclopyr (eg Grazon), picloram + triclopyr (egTordon Brushkiller) and metsulfuron (eg Escort).

• Goats will graze gorse and can kill it.

• It can be removed using a chipping hoe.

• Herbicides are best applied while the thistle is still a young.

• flumetsulam should kill young seedlings and MCPA can have some effect on younger plants.

• Often found in soils that are poorly drained • Hard to control once established, roots are very strong and plants must be dug up rather than pulled, as the entire root crown needs to be removed to prevent regrowth.

• Stolon system allows creeping buttercup to spread laterally quite quickly into nearby weed-­‐free areas.

• Using specific herbicides.

• It often becomes quite troublesome in pastures grazed by cattle or horses, as they tend to avoid grazing the weed, unlike sheep.

• Cause lodging of the crop, the weed climbs up over • Easily killed by cultivation. crop plants then makes them "top-­‐heavy" and thus • Pulling the plants by hands and pull out the fibrous roots and rolling into a mass of fall. disposal.

4.1.3 Weed Management Policies for Native Bush 4.1.3.1 Policies and Approaches To remove the weed in bush walk area is a challenge as its bush structure, topography and sensitive ecological character.

What’s more the weed is well established and most of them are very different to be removed. The strategy for this area is immediate eradication of all exotic weeds. This will divide into different priority and stages to complete the entire removal work. Subsequent planting will replace this bare-earth area. It is important that the native species are not impact during the weed removal progress.

4.1.3.2 Remove Techniques · Removal of exotic weed (detail refer in the weed list below) · Planting with native species (as selected) · Regular removal of weed species (particularly seedling)

Shade, drought and frost tolerant once established and suit for any soil type.

Rhizomes spread quickly to form deep, impenetrable masses, completely smothering all other plants.

Rhizomes re-­‐sprout from fragments and survive salt water, crushing and absence of soil for long periods.

Long-­‐lived and easily spread in dumped vegetation It establishes in frost-­‐free, damp site on wetland, streamsides and forest.

Together with dense foliage cover to prevent native plants from establishing.

Often difficult to control once it becomes well established.

It can quickly spread throughout the areas by seed and rhizomes.

CONTROL TECHNIQUE

• •

•

Rake out the weed if in small scale and ensureing all plant fragments are captured. Start at the outer edges of the infestation and do this in summer.

Spray and remaining or resprouting fragments with 60ml/10L triclopyr or 30ml/L Yates Hydrocotyle Killer + penetrant, or 20ml/L glyphosate + penetrant. Follow up within 2-­‐3 months before plant recovers and administer 2-­‐3 treatments for total control.

Once eradicated, replace the area with native parataniwha (Elatostema rugosum), panakenake (Pratia angulat) or creeping fuchsia (Fuchsia procumbens)

• Using specific herbicides.

• Small stands of bindweed can be managed through hand removal. Ensuring all stem and root fragments are dug out. Dispose of roots at a refuse transfer station and leave the tops of vines to rot away on site.

• Once eradicated, replaced with native rauparaha (Calystegia soldanella) or low-­‐growing hebes • Biological control (eaten by animals)

•

•

Digging out small plants including all rhizomes and disposing of at a refuse transfer station, or cutting back to just above the pink ‘collar’ at the base of stem and paint with herbicide.

Once eradicated, replace with native renga lily (Arthropodium cirratum) or NZ flax (Phormium tenax) or exotic bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae)

• •

Hand pull small seedling Once eradicated, replant the area with native parataniwha (Elatostema rugosum), renga lily (Arthropodium cirratum) or NZ flax (Phormium tenax) or exotic Chinese rhubarb (Rheum palmatum)

• •

Easily pulled up by hand Pouring boiling water on areas with dollar weed will quickly kill the plants. However, care should be taken not to get any on other nearby plants or grass, as boiling water will kill anything it comes into contact with.

Simply wet down the dollar weed foliage and sprinkle baking soda over it, leaving it overnight. This is supposed to kill the weeds.

4.2.3.2 Remove Techniques · Regular monitor the noxious weed, once find seedling, hand pull and/or dig out or cut the steam. · Regular bioherbicide spray

4.2.2 Weed Management Policies for Wetland 4.2.2.1 Policies and Approaches As the wetlands and water bodies’ character, the weed control policies are unique and need careful consideration. Proximity to water makes chemical pollution of water resource much more difficult to avoid or control. Riparian and wetland areas are major habitat for most Native fauna and invasive plant control will disturb or destroy the habitat. Therefore, herbicides need to be approached with caution.

Due to the initial weed management should build a relatively weedfree condition and as the planting plan, the site will be massively planted with native species. Most important point in invasive plant control is to anticipate the need to monitor for regrowth after the initial control effort is complete. Removal of on invasive species may lead to another invasive species establishment. If regrowth is not controlled early, groups initial control efforts will need to be repeated, wasting valuable resources. Large-scale weed will not be wild establish on site but small scale weed may will grow along the edge of boardwalk post and where has enrichment of water resource. Riparian and wetland pond edge need highly concentrated for monitor.
