Major roadworks required to reach isolated Awatere Valley farmers

STUFF Rivers bursting their banks, flash floods and more intense cyclones. How climate change is making floods more extreme. “So that’s as far up the road as we got . and that alone is going to be quite a major fix,” Murrin said. A crew would need to cut a ramp into the side of the hole to get a digger in, to build a retaining wall for the hillside road. “It’s going to take some time. There will only be room for one digger, but there will be a lot of earth moving for that one digger, probably 1000 cubic metres of backfill. And we can’t run truck-and-trailers on this little road, it will be trucks only.”

Cleanup begins for isolated community up Marlborough s Awatere Valley

Jennifer Eder16:50, Jul 19 2021 MDC A high country community isolated by landslides after severe rain are facing a mammoth cleanup. A series of slips along Awatere Valley Rd in south Marlborough have cut off access to several farms in the high country valley. The top end at Molesworth Station is closed for the winter. Mount Gladstone farmer Hayley Pitts is stuck on one of those farms, about 50 kilometres southwest of Seddon, where the severe rain at the weekend has flooded her merino and cattle farm with silt and debris. “The rain really started on Friday night – we went from the big high of being in town for the Groundswell protest, and feeling really proud to be a Kiwi farmer, and then we had all that heavy rain that night, it was so loud we got up in the night and the river was just massive,” Pitts said.

Farmers a cut above DOC in caring for Crown land

The difference can be striking. Many stations farmed under a pastoral lease are tended to by families who have a long and deep connection with the land and fully appreciate the importance of operating in a sustainable and environmentally conscious way. They take great pride in seeing their merino sheep flourish on land where weeds and pests are kept at bay. Innovation has come a long way and the leaseholders and farm managers I’ve spoken with have embraced new tools and technologies to gain efficiency and farm in a way that benefits conservation. It’s clear when visiting these properties that sustainable practices are commonplace and are something leaseholders are in fact proud of. These stations are truly stunning and showcase the very best of the New Zealand High Country.
