  • Rotorua District Perceptions of Safety Survey 2014
    ROTORUA DISTRICT PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY SURVEY 2014 FOR ROTORUA DISTRICT COUNCIL PREPARED BY APR CONSULTANTS 19 August 2014 Rotorua District Safety Perception Survey 2014 FOREWORD Tena koutou katoa. The annual Rotorua District Perceptions of Safety Survey provides residents with the opportunity to express their views on matters of personal safety, safety in neighbourhoods and safety in public places such as the inner city. Approximately 500 residents took part in the latest Perceptions of Safety Survey In the first half of 2014, the ninth successive year the survey has been undertaken. For the council and other agencies the survey provides a valuable tool for monitoring how well we as a community are doing in keeping our residents safe. Public safety is a shared objective of our council and our community. Its importance is reflected in our Rotorua 2030 vision, particularly the key ‘Resilient Communities’ goal for safe neighbourhoods, and the goal to build a safe and ‘Vibrant City Heart.’ Rotorua District Council initiatives in support of crime prevention and for improving perceptions of safety include the Crime Prevention Plan, City Safe Guardians programme, a working protocol with Rotorua Police, and collaborative partnerships with other safety focussed groups such as Treasure Rotorua and the Safe Communities Steering Group. Our council remains committed to working in partnership with other organisations and agencies to help build a safe community. It is only by working together that we will achieve that aspiration. Tatau tatau – we together. Hon Steve Chadwick JP Mayor of Rotorua APR Consultants Ltd 1 Rotorua District Safety Perception Survey 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of the 2014 Rotorua District Perceptions of Safety Survey undertaken within the Rotorua District of New Zealand.

  • Annual Report June 2005
    ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 2005 Pirongia Boardwalk Te Araroa Trust MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR I am very pleased to report that the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs has continued to grow in both numbers and influence. Membership of the Taskforce has grown to 68 (92% of all Mayors), with members covering all regions of the country. From a small group of seven enthusiastic Mayors in 2000 that is fantastic growth and support. This shows that local government is committed to working on challenging issues to improve the quality of our communities for all our citizens. Mayors showing real leadership is a powerful way for everyone to be able to participate and make things happen locally. The influence and credibility of the Taskforce is demonstrated in our inclusion on a growing number of advisory committees and the seeking of our comment for a wide variety of policies, strategy documents and newsletters. We have seen dramatic changes in the labour market over the last five years. In 2000 there were over 140,000 people on the unemployment benefit and the unemployment rate was 5.8%. In 2005 there are 55,000 on the unemployment benefit and the unemployment rate has dropped to 3.9%. There are however still a disproportionate number of young people in those statistics so in our strategy for 2005/06 we have reaffirmed and strengthened our commitment by adopting a new vision of guarantees: A youth guarantee – that all young people under 25 years be in paid work, in training or education, or in useful activities in our communities A job guarantee – that all adults who are long-term unemployed (registered for more than 12 months) have the opportunity and be encouraged to be in paid work, in training or education, or in useful activities in our communities.

  • How Can the District Plan Help Water Quality in Lake Rotorua - Transferable Development Rights (Tdrs)
    Proceedings ROTORUA LAKES 2011 How can the District Plan Help Water Quality in Lake Rotorua - Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) Symposium Thursday 4th July 2013 RDC Civic Centre How can the District Plan help Water Quality in Lake Rotorua? Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) EDITOR’S NOTE Material for the Symposium Proceedings has been received as fully transcribed audio tapes and PowerPoint files. The editor then endeavoured to edit the spoken word to a written Word format and included graphs and pictures from the PowerPoint slides, with discretion, in the body of each presentation. Where possible slides that contained only words were incorporated into the document text. Not all slides were included. The papers were sent to the original presenter to ensure they were satisfied with the transcription. Workshop sessions have been included. These are a little more difficult to transcribe and there may be some errors or misinterpretations in the editing. I would like to thank all the presenters who have kindly helped me with editing. It is a mammoth and laborious task. In the interests of expediency and accuracy I very much appreciated their support. I would also like to thank Liz Miller who took note of the names of people with questions in the workshop sessions and my husband John who has also spent some time looking for spelling, grammar and senseless meaning. There will be further mistakes but it is more important to produce this document as quickly as possible. Ann Green Disclaimer: These Proceedings report the formal presentations and workshop sessions of the Symposium, which was designed to encourage open discussion amongst the stakeholders and those with a strong interest in the management and development of the Rotorua Lakes region.
