Statement of Proposal Draft Growth & Economic Development Strategy (Waikato 2070) IF WE DO NOTHING

In the short term:

 Not capitalising on economic and community development opportunities

 Council either can’t deliver infrastructure in time to enable developmment or it costs significantly more to do so

 Ad-hoc investment and piecemeal development patterns that do not achieve cohesive communities

 Poor and inefficient use of natural and physical resources

In the medium to long term:

 Disconnected communities

 Poor economic, social and environmental outcomes

 High servicing costs

 Not adequately providing for bulk infrastructure and key transport linkages at the right time to enable growth

01.3 OUR DISTRICT

The Waikato District covers 418,893ha, a strategically significant land area between two of the fastest growing metropolitan centres in New Zealand, Hamilton and Auckland. It is also located in the heart of the ‘golden triangle’ the economic zone encompassing Auckland- Hamilton-Tauranga, which generates over 50% of NZ GDP and is home to over 50% of NZ’s population. The Waikato River (NZ’s longest river) flows through the district and is a critical water body contributing to the biodiversity of the region, provides potable water for the area and neighbouring population centers and has significant cultural value. Additionally, the Waikato District boundary extends along the western coast of New Zealand and touches the eastern coastline at the settlement of Miranda on the Hauraki Gulf. The District is also home to large areas of significant indigenous vegetation. The Waikato District contains some of the country’s most highly-productive soils which are key contributors to the country’s agricultural and horticultural sectors. The district therefore makes a vital contribution to the country’s economy in terms of contribution to revenue generation and gross domestic product. The varied nature of the district’s environment supports a diverse range of communities, each with unique identities. The district has a median age of 35.3 years with a disproportionately high number of people aged under 15 (25.5%) and yet only 10% over 65 (however is expected to change over time). The make-up of the district is 69% European, 25.9% Maaori, 2.8% Asian, and 2.4% Pacific Islanders. The district’s urban wards have much higher percentages of Maaori than its rural wards.

01.4 OUR GROWTH

The Waikato District has been experiencing 3% population growth year-on-year over the past decade. This is higher than both the Auckland and national average growth rates. This is significant in the context of the district, as historically the district has experienced static, and in some cases declining growth. Following the restructuring of local government in Auckland, the Waikato District boundary shifted north to encompass the towns of Tuakau and Pookeno. The expansion of the jurisdictional area has presented new challenges for the District. The challenges are compounded by the rural-urban nature of the district, diverse natural environment, mixed socio-economic and population demographics, geographic scale, and its proximity to Auckland and Hamilton metropolitan areas. 10 DRAFT GROWTH STRATEGY forest, scrubandwetlands into farms.

2000-2010 RURAL REVIVAL During the early 2000s a re-orientation to rural areas occurred, peri-urban development started which began to revive some rural settlements as people chose to live in the country and to commute to the main centres for work. This led to ad-hoc growth patterns and the fragmentation of productive farms. By the late 1990s and early 2000s the farming sector had largely re-adjusted to the new economic environment bolstered by strong demand internationally for its dairy products. 12 DRAFT GROWTH STRATEGY 13 Waikato 2070 Waikato 02.0

IDENTIFYING WHERE AND WHEN GROWTH CAN OCCUR.

The following section details spatially where and when development can occur (residential and employment) in the district, aligned to our four Focus Areas*. Some areas in the district have strong capacity to support future growth due to their location, environment and infrastructure. Other areas of the district have significant constraints to growth and are therefore not suitable for further growth and development (and have not been identified in this strategy). Areas identified for future growth, in some cases, include areas already zoned under the Operative District Plan (2013) or are proposed for re-zoning under the Proposed District Plan (2018).
