Tasman Nelson Moves Out State Of Emergency
Tasman District Mayor Tim King has given notice that Nelson and Tasman will begin a transition period, moving from a state of emergency into a recovery focus, following the impacts from the most recent severe weather the region experienced. The Notice of Local Transition period, under Section 94B of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002, takes effect at 4.47pm today (17 July 2025) and ends on Thursday 14 August 2025 unless it is extended or ends before then. Mayor King says it was unbelievable that we would face two massive back-to-back emergencies like this, but we did. He's offering his thanks to all the agencies, community groups and volunteers who had supported the Nelson Tasman Emergency Management response for the second time. "These two events have a tested us to the maximum and the effects will be felt for a long time across our region. While we are moving from a state of emergency, this transition period means that support continues to be available to those affected.' We now have a team focusing on the recovery process which will take time. Tim King says we understand that as the enormity of this event sinks in, people could be feeling overwhelmed dealing with getting their lives and properties back into some semblance of normality. "I want to offer heartfelt thanks to everyone involved, particular those in our community who have supported and continue to support their friends, family and neighbours.' Group Recovery Manager Steve Manners will now assume responsibility for the local transition period.

Heavy rain fills hydro lakes, boosts winter energy supplies

Photo: Supplied/Meridian The country looks set to get through this winter with no squeeze on energy supplies but is still at risk from energy demand peaks. The national grid operator Transpower said concerns at the start of the year about reduced gas supply and dry conditions had eased after wet weather filled hydro lakes. Large generators had also struck deals with major industrial users such as Methanex and the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter, along with an increased coal stockpile. Transpower said hydro lake levels had recovered to be at average levels for this time of year. In the past week alone total hydro storage increased by 18 gigawatt hours, according to data from Energy Link. Transpower's executive general manager of operations Chantelle Bramley said the outlook for this winter "has definitely improved". "We started the year with a dry period, and we did see our hydro storage rapidly decline," she said. "But we've seen a strong market response, particularly with increased thermal generation and that set us up well to meet New Zealand's electricity needs this winter." However, Bramley said demand peaks - such as those seen last year - remained a risk. "Those are challenges that we will always potentially face - making sure that we've got enough generation plants available to meet those coldest evenings and mornings," Bramley said. "Events can always happen, and power plants can always break down," she said. Bramley said the industry spent "a lot of time and energy" ensuring their plants were in working order for winter. "It's really important that generators do work to keep [power plants] available and we've certainly seen that for this year."

Number of livestock deaths after Nelson Tasman floods unknown

Photo: SAMUEL RILLSTONE / RNZ The Ministry for Primary Industries is responding to animal welfare issues at flood-affected farms at the top of the South Island, but concedes the actual number of livestock deaths is unknown. Many farmers moved stock to higher ground ahead of the first flooding event in Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough late last month. The area sustained widespread damage to farm fencing infrastructure, caused in part by raging rivers, which was exacerbated by a second flooding event last week. MPI national response manager for agriculture and investment services, Andrew Curtis said damaged fencing was a huge issue for farms and orchards. He said compromised fencing had lead to ongoing animal welfare reports from the public. "We do know that there's a fair amount of stock that were lost to water over the two events," Curtis said. "In terms of the animal welfare cases, every day we're getting more reports coming in that we're having to follow up with, obviously of animals not necessarily in a good way, as a result of the flood." Floodwaters damaged fencing and killed livestock in Tasman. Photo: RNZ/Samuel Rillstone He said access to cut off farmland was a challenge. "Not all farmers know what the condition of their animals are yet. There's still a number of places where access to the whole farm isn't necessarily available." Nelson-based mussel farming company MacLab told RNZ its staff reported seeing dead livestock floating out in the water. Fifth-generation farmer Ian Parkes of Eighty Eight Valley told RNZ he decided to slaughter and sell some stock due to pressures on animal feed stocks , and not being able to move stock. Meanwhile in a statement, MPI director of compliance and response Glen Burrell said most farmers know their properties and proactively moved stock when severe weather like heavy rain was forecast. "However, in some cases, floodwaters rise higher than expected, isolating animals or damaging fencing used to contain them," he said. "MPI received reports of a small number of livestock losses as a result of the severe flooding, but the exact quantity of animals is not known." Burrell said it supported landowners and local councils where needed to ensure safe livestock disposal. "MPI has dedicated staff available to respond to animal welfare issues," he said. "We have been proactively visiting properties and farms which are at-risk because they're located in flood-affected areas, to check on the wellbeing of animals and farmers." Any animal welfare reports or concerns can be made to its animal welfare team on 0800 008 333.
