The Pupu Hydro Power Scheme is a small hydroelectric power station in the Golden Bay. It opened in 1929 as the first power station in the region and was the first public electricity supply in Golden Bay. After closing in 1980 following damage to the generator, the power scheme was fully restored by the local Pupu Hydro Society and many volunteer groups over the course of seven years and re-opened in 1988, again supplying electricity to the national grid. Its average annual energy output is 1.8GWh. Proceeds from the sale of the electricity is made available for as grants for local community projects.

Farming 2030 harnesses the vision and knowledge of the community, working with the skill and expertise of farm owners Wayne and Tyler Langford, to develop practical sustainable farming practices. It promotes a shared understanding of how farming and environmental practices can sit side-by-side for the benefit of all. In the process it fosters a community that is better informed and unified.

Current and aspiring initiatives - Cycle and walkways

# data[].attributes.body
Golden Bay has an ever increasing network of cycle/walkways that encourage folk to leave the car at home and get around by walking or biking. The cycle/walkway from Takaka to Pohara was recently completed. A new route from Takaka to Paines Ford is under development, closely followed by investigations into a route from Rangihaeata to Takaka. The Bay also has many world class mountain bike rides including Motupipi Hill, the Rameka and the Heaphy Track.

Have you ever thought about how you would like our beautiful environment and community here in Golden Bay to look and feel in the future?

Our best way to experience the shared future we want is to clarify it and then work towards it together. A shared vision, a shared strategy and a community-led action plan to get there.

Cycle ways (as Claire says paved and away from road) are very much the key to de-carbonizing our local commuter traffic. At the same time they have enormous and often unexpected side benefits i.e. hard to have predicted the huge uptake in biking in the 60+ age group but e-bikes have done that.

Freight is far trickier to deal with as there are massive issues of infrastructure and investment in vehicles and distribution that mean change its extremely expensive and hard to influence at a local level.
Bio-diesel may help but steps towards a change over to hydrogen fueled freight are needed.

Monitor and test our fresh water ecosystems, forests, soils, coastal ecosystems...Currently we are seriously under testing and making major decisions on our ecosystems with little knowledge on the impact of those decisions. Classic case is Te Waikoropupu springs where citizens are having to fund and test the springs for nitrates when the council is failing to do so.

Natural buildings and durable timbers that do not need toxic chemical treatments recognised and easily accessible in regulations. 

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of having to get expensive engineers reports and find architects who will take responsibility for durability, the council recognises certain timbers for different uses to make it easy to pass through regulations and code. As a stop gap we could have a public directory of timber information and precedents (maybe in the library?) to help get certain timbers through code.
