Stazione marittima di Auckland

La stazione marittima di Auckland (Auckland Ferry Terminal in inglese, a volte anche Downtown Ferry Terminal o semplicemente Ferry Building) è il fulcro della rete di traghetti di Auckland e che collega il centro della città con i sobborghi di North Shore, West Auckland e South Auckland e con le isole del porto di Waitematā e del Golfo di Hauraki. Situata sul lungomare nel CBD di Auckland, la stazione marittima si trova all'estremità nord di Queen Street, di fronte al Britomart Transport Centre, il movicentro locale. Descrizione Il terminal dei traghetti è composto da due strutture principali, un più antico edificio in stile barocco edoardiano giallo affacciato su Queen Street e sul lato della città, e pontili più nuovi e l'edificio dell'area di attesa (l'attuale terminal dei traghetti di oggi), affacciati sul porto di Waitematā. Vecchio edificio L'edificio di solito indicato come stazione marittima di Auckland è stato progettato da Alex Wiseman e costruito da Philcox and Sons. Completato nel 1912 su terre sottratte al mare di arenaria e mattoni con una base di granito di Coromandel, è costato ₤ 67.944 per la costruzione (circa 10,9 milioni di NZ $ nel 2016), una grande somma per l'epoca. Nel 1982 ha ottenuto una classificazione di categoria I con il New Zealand Historic Places Trust (poi ribattezzato Heritage New Zealand), ed è stato ampiamente restaurato tra il 1986 e il 1988. Ora ospita negozi e caffè nella parte inferiore livello, con la maggior parte delle operazioni di traghetto spostate nel nuovo edificio. Nuova costruzione I moli dei traghetti e l'area di attesa più moderni sono stati costruiti principalmente come una struttura a lato aperto con un tetto che ricorda il profilo di una vela o di un gabbiano, che insieme alle torrette ornamentali a "ciminiera" è progettato per evocare le navi ormeggiate dietro l'edificio originale. Doveva anche essere di basso profilo per conservare le viste dell'edificio, ed è stato progettato dall'architetto Murray Day per essere facilmente gestibile ed espandibile. Importanti lavori di riparazione Tra il 2009 e il 2010, l'ARTA ha svolto importanti lavori di riparazione sulla struttura del pontile, che non aveva avuto tale lavoro sin dalla costruzione. I lavori iniziali hanno trovato alcune parti della struttura in una forma peggiore del previsto, poiché l'acqua salata si era lentamente infiltrata nel cemento armato. I primi lavori urgenti dovevano concludersi nel 2009.

Auckland Region Women's Corrections Facility

Auckland Region Women's Corrections Facility (ARWCF) is a women's prison in the Wiri suburb of South Auckland, New Zealand. Also in the vicinity are the Auckland South Corrections Facility and Korowai Manaaki Youth Justice Facility. It opened in 2006 and is the first purpose-built women's prison in New Zealand; there are two older women's prisons. About 6 per cent of the New Zealand prisoner population is female. The facility houses about 330 prisoners including remand prisoners - people who have been charged but not convicted, or convicted but not yet sentenced - as well as sentenced prisoners. It has a specialist unit for mothers and babies. A small number of women give birth while serving a sentence of imprisonment and others have young children at the time of sentencing. Some prisoners with babies (up to two years) may be eligible to live in the mothers and babies unit. The prison is built in a rehabilitated quarry site. Construction of the 38 buildings cost NZ$159 million and was carried out substantially by Sinclair Knight Merz. The site is 47 ha in size, of which 13 ha are currently covered by buildings, leaving room for future expansion, which was included in the design parameters.

Auckland Seventh-day Adventist High School

Auckland Seventh-day Adventist High School (ASDAH) is a secondary school (years 9–13) in Māngere Bridge, a suburb of South Auckland, New Zealand. It is owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system. History The school was opened in March 1970, at the time one of the almost 5,000 Seventh-day Adventist schools around the world. In the 2007 Education Review Office (ERO) report, it was recommended that the Secretary for Education intervene in order to bring about improvements to school management and governance, with particular reference to improving the management of the curriculum, personnel, and the provision of a safe environment. A Limited Statutory Manager was appointed in August 2008 to work with the board to address these issues. According to the 2016 ERO External Evaluation, the school responds well to Maori and other students whose learning and achievement need acceleration. Due to the 2019 school roll, which is 246 students, relational trust between teachers and learners is positively impacting on student progress and achievement. The report continues stating that the small numbers in senior classes encourage teachers to develop relationships with the students that are clearly focused on supporting academic achievement. The largest ethnic group is Tongan (28%) followed by Cook Island Maori (22%). Academics Achievement data for National Certificate of Educational Achievement from 2003 to 2007 indicate that at Levels 1, 2 and 3 was above the averages for schools of a similar socio-economic decile. Achievement in literacy and numeracy has improved, but school results are still below national averages Based on the 2016 ERO report, 2016 results in National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) show that students achieve significantly higher at Level 1 and 2 than students in similar schools. In 2015 and 2016, students achieved above the national average in NCEA Level 2.

Avondale railway station, Auckland

Avondale railway station is on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network. Relocated in 2008, the station can be accessed from St Jude St, Layard St, and Crayford St. The proposed Avondale–Southdown Line would connect to the Western Line just east of the station. History 1880: Opened as one of the original stations on the North Auckland Line. The station was known as Whau for the first two years of its existence. 1882: A post office opened as part of the station. 1912: The post office closed. 1914: The platform was upgraded to an island platform layout with a new building on the new platform. 1915: A signal box was added. 1966: The line to Morningside was double-tracked. 1967: The signal box was removed after this section changed to centralised traffic control. 1993: The platform was raised to meet the requirements of ex-Perth trains. 1995: The station building was relocated to Swanson. Originally planned for demolition due to its poor state, Waitakere Community Board members Dave Harré and Penny Hulse lobbied the New Zealand Railways Corporation to save and refurbish the building. 2008: The footbridge was demolished, the platform removed and a temporary station erected 50m to the east of the site. 2010: A new station was constructed and the line double-tracked westward beyond Avondale.

Upgrade and relocation Until 26 December 2008 it had an island platform just west of Blockhouse Bay Road, reached via a footbridge off the road. In 2010 an upgraded station was built on Layard Street, north of the St Jude Street level crossing and approximately 100m west and 200m south of the old station. The new station provides better connections with the Avondale town centre and the platform is on a straight section of track, unlike the old platform which was on a large sharp curve. Electrification work was completed and the station began serving electric trains in 2015. Services Western Line suburban train services, between Swanson and Britomart, are provided by Auckland One Rail on behalf of Auckland Transport. A number of bus routes pass nearby on Great North Road, Rosebank Road and Blockhouse Bay Road. These include routes 18, 22N, 22R, 67A, 67B, 67X, 149, 151, 171X, 191, 195, 209, 221, and 223.

Awakino ski area

The Awakino ski field is located in St. Marys Range, in the Canterbury, New Zealand part of Waitaki District near Kurow. It is run by the Waitaki Ski Club. The field is little changed from when it was established in the late 1940s. Run by volunteers only, it operates most weekends in the winter season, which normally lasts from July to October. The field has one and a half high-speed rope tows, queues are unheard of and a busy day means more than 10 people. The field is normally open most weekends from July to October. Long weekends may operate when the snow conditions are good and club members are available. The Waitaki Ski Club welcomes 'membership' from those with a long-term commitment to the field. In exchange for your skills and contributing to the long-term development of the field, you get free skiing. There are normally several working weekends in the off season and 'members' run and contribute to these. Every able-bodied member is expected to contribute to work parties. Lodge The field has a 27 bunk accommodation lodge, situated at 1100 metres on the access road, 300 metres below the field base buildings. This is normally at the limit of the winter snowline, and is accessible on skis from the main field down two side gulleys (Arthurs run and the old access tow gulley). 4WD access is normally available to the lodge, otherwise it is a 30-minute walk to it from the top car park in the valley below. No cellphone coverage is available at the lodge. The lodge has two bunk-rooms, and is heated by a combination of coal/wood burners and generated electricity. Fitted with flush toilets, hot showers, full kitchen facilities, dining room/hall, outside deck and outdoor heated spa.

Awarua Satellite Ground Station

Awarua Satellite Ground Station (formerly Awarua Tracking Station) is an Earth station built initially to support the European Space Agency Ariane 5 ES ATV (Automated Transfer Vehicle) launch campaigns. It was established by Venture Southland in 2007. It is owned and operated by Invercargill-based Space Operations New Zealand Ltd (trading as SpaceOps NZ), which was spun off from Southland Regional Development Agency Ltd (the successor of Venture Southland) in 2021. The site on Awarua Plains was chosen because of its relatively high latitude, low elevation mask and isolation from sources of radio interference. It has a fibre-optic broadband links to the Internet. The station was first used in 2008 to track Jules Verne, and subsequently four more Automated Transfer Vehicles servicing the International Space Station. The station now provides telecommunications to commercial and space agency spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) with its own antennas and hosted antennas. Work with Planet Labs In 2014 the Awarua Satellite Ground Station was chosen by Planet Labs to download their first earth observation satellites, in their Flock-1 constellation. Planet Lab's antenna was the first commercial antenna hosted at the station. References External links Awarua Satellite Ground Station, Space Operations New Zealand
