Canterbury’s Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre has been allocated permanent test flight airspace, giving advanced aviation companies the freedom to safely trial next-generation technologies, Space Minister Judith Collins announced today.

“The Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) permanent special use airspace designation for Tāwhaki anchors Canterbury’s growing reputation as a national hub for space and advanced aviation innovation.”

Ms Collins announced the Tāwhaki designation at the launch of the Waitaha Canterbury Aerospace Strategy, which aims to position Canterbury as a global leader in aerospace innovation by 2035. 

“Canterbury is an ideal launchpad for the space and advanced aviation sectors due to its combination of location, test-bed facilities, research and innovation capability, manufacturing capability and workforce.

“We know New Zealand’s space and advanced aviation sectors are growing rapidly. The space sector has grown 53 percent in the five years to 2023-24 to contribute more than $2.47 billion to the economy. The advanced aviation sector contributed $480 million in the same period, with some overlaps with the space sector. 

“The Government sees space as having huge potential, and that’s why we’re working towards delivering a world-class regulatory environment for advanced aviation by the end of this year, as signalled less than a year ago.

“The CAA is currently consulting on proposed changes to the Civil Aviation Rules to make it easier to test and deploy new aerospace technologies. 

“A new rule will, in most cases, allow advanced aviation companies to freely develop their product without needing to seek further approvals.”

“The upcoming New Zealand Aerospace Summit in Christchurch in October will draw an international audience, providing an opportunity to showcase Canterbury’s unique attributes to advanced aviation innovators.

“Overall, this is an exciting opportunity to grow advanced aviation in New Zealand,” Ms Collins said.  

Tāwhaki will manage the permanent Special Use Airspace by activating areas when required for operators, while minimising the effect on other airspace users.  

Public consultation about the proposed changes to the Civil Aviation Rules closes on 27 July.

The Government has agreed in principle to an investment and implementation roadmap to strengthen New Zealand’s emergency management system so it can manage major to severe emergencies, Emergency Management and Recovery Minister Mark Mitchell announced today.

“This roadmap is part of our response to the Government Inquiry into the North Island Severe Weather Events and complements the work underway to develop a new Emergency Management Bill,” says Mr Mitchell. 

“New Zealand is facing more frequent and severe weather events, and we need to ensure our emergency management system is fit for purpose to manage significant, widespread emergencies like Cyclone Gabrielle.

“The roadmap sets out the initiatives needed in the next five years to deliver the change we need.”

Key initiatives include:

• Regional support teams based around New Zealand to provide surge support during and following emergencies and boost regional workforce capability.
• A refreshed and increased Resilience Fund to empower more communities to prepare for and respond to emergencies.
• Agreements and partnerships with businesses, iwi/Māori and community organisations to enhance local readiness.
• Professional pathways to expand the emergency management workforce and build capability.
• Proactive procurement and placement of critical equipment and supplies.
• A Common Operating Picture to support shared situational awareness and decision-making.

“Investments in modern technology and trained personnel, along with clear governance structures and assurance, will ensure faster, more effective emergency response and recovery, better coordination across agencies, and more resilient communities. 

“These investments will address critical gaps, improving our ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a range of emergencies.”

The National Emergency Management Agency will prioritise activity that can be delivered from its current baselines and go back to Government for proposed initiatives that will require new funding from future budgets.

A game of stuck in the mud has ended in court for one rider after he attempted to evade Police during the early hours of this morning.

Just before 4.30am, a Police unit observed a motorbike with false number plates travelling along Bruce McLaren Road, Henderson.

Waitematā West Area Commander, Inspector Jason Edwards, says officers followed the rider, who appeared to be having issues with the bike.

“The motorcycle was travelling at low speed, with the rider appearing unable to change gears.”

He says the rider then noticed Police and allegedly continued onto Henderson Valley Road and attempted to evade Police by riding on the footpath.

“The motorcycle, which has since been confirmed as stolen, ended up getting stuck in mud and the rider has fled on foot.

“A foot chase has ensued and officers have quickly taken him into custody.

“Thanks to the good work of all Police staff involved, the rider will be held to account.”

A 24-year-old man, who also had a warrant to arrest, will appear in Waitākere District Court today charged with failure to answer district court bail.

Other charges are being considered.

Health Minister Simeon Brown and Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey have today marked the beginning of construction on the new Sir Mark Dunajtschik Mental Health Centre in Lower Hutt. 
Joined by Hutt South MP Chris Bishop, the Ministers took part in a sod-turning ceremony to celebrate the start of a project that will transform mental health services across the Wellington region. 
“Today, I’m proud to announce the Government is investing $38 million in the construction of this world-class facility – alongside an extraordinary $50 million donation from Sir Mark Dunajtschik, who also generously donated $50 million towards the new Wellington Children’s Hospital in 2017,” Mr Brown says.
“This marks an important milestone for Lower Hutt and the wider region. The new centre will provide 34 adult acute inpatient beds – ten more than the existing facility – and will be purpose-built to support modern models of care, helping to deliver better outcomes for patients and their families. 
“It will also enhance the region’s mental health infrastructure, offering safer, more therapeutic spaces for those in urgent need.” 
Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey said the purpose-built centre would help ensure New Zealanders in distress receive timely, appropriate care. 
“People experiencing severe distress deserve care in the right environment, at the right time – it’s not only better for them, but it also helps take pressure off our busy emergency departments. 
“That’s why mental health care must be underpinned by high-quality infrastructure that enables clinicians and support staff to deliver the safe, effective, compassionate care Kiwis deserve. 
“Sir Mark’s generosity is a powerful act of leadership. It reflects deep compassion, civic spirit, and an enduring commitment to the wellbeing of our communities. 
“His $50 million contribution will leave a legacy of hope and care that will benefit generations to come. 
“This project is about more than bricks and mortar. It’s about improving lives and delivering the mental health outcomes New Zealanders deserve.”

UPDATE 8:20 am:
Bad weather and flooding are causing further state highway closures in the top of the South Island this morning.

Drivers must stay off weather-affected highways while they remain closed and avoid any unnecessary travel.

Nelson/Tasman

Flooding has closed State Highway 6 between Belgrove and Richmond.

State Highway 60 has also been closed across its entire length from Richmond to Collingwood because of flooding at multiple locations.

Marlborough

State Highway 63 now has a full closure from St Arnaud to Anglesea Street in  Renwick

---

Update: 6:50am

With heavy rain affecting the top of the South Island overnight, and continuing to fall this morning, road crews are attending multiple incidents on state highways across the region.

Wet weather driving conditions apply and road users can experience traffic management at multiple locations due to flooding, rockfalls, and slips.

Nelson/Tasman

Rob Service, System Manager, says there are multiple flooding and slips sites in the Nelson/Tasman region

“State Highway 6 near Wakefield, is under a temporary closure for light vehicles due to flooding.”

“State Highway 60 at the Riwaka/Kaiteriteri intersection is also affected by flooding and slips have also been reported on the Tākaka Hill,” Mr Service says.

There is also localised  flooding at the Three Brothers intersection (SH6/SH60), as well as in Brightwater, Belgrove, and Kohatu.

Mr Service says with heavy rain still falling, the potential for further disruption on local highways remains

“It is essential drivers take extreme caution on the roads while the bad weather continues. Road crews are  attending multiple incidents and are doing their best to resolve issues as they arise.”

Marlborough

Flooding has closed State Highway 63 in Renwick between Anglesea Street and Inkerman Street. Local road detours are available, and drivers can expect delays.

System Manager  Wayne Oldfield says surface flooding has also been reported at multiple sites.

“This includes State Highway 6 at Havelock, State Highway 63 in the Wairau Valley, and State Highway 1 near Koromiko.”

“These sections of highway are currently open, but driving conditions are challenging. While the rain continues to fall, drivers must be prepared for road hazards and the possibility of road closures,” Mr Old field says.

General advice

The Metservice has regional weather warnings in place until this afternoon and evening for both Nelson/Tasman and Marlborough. This means the risk of flooding, slips, rockfalls remains ongoing.

Drivers must check road and weather conditions before they travel and avoid any area where highways are  closed due to bad weather.

All road closures must be obeyed. They are there to keep the public safe.
