As is required by law, the Pre-Election Report is prepared by the Council’s Chief Executive and not the current elected council members. This Pre-Election Report brings together information previously published in other Council documents – including the Long Term Plan 2018-28, Annual Plans and Annual Reports. As such, the information reflects the policy and service delivery decisions of the current council.

  • The Emergence and Intensification of Hydropolitical Conflict Intentionality in Aotearoa-New Zealand By: Adan E. Suazo National C
    The Emergence and Intensification of Hydropolitical Conflict Intentionality in Aotearoa-New Zealand By: Adan E. Suazo National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies Te Ao O Rongomaraeroa University of Otago Dunedin, New Zealand June 2019 Abstract Environmental security literature has devoted a significant amount of attention to the nexus between resource abundance and conflict. Important research has assessed this relationship by focusing on non-renewable resource wealth as a causal determinant of conflict, but little is known about the conditions that influence the emergence and intensification of conflict in water abundant environments. By most accounts, New Zealand is one of the most water-rich countries in the world. Even though violent conflict over water does not normally materialise in New Zealand, conflicts and incompatible claims motivated by water bottling, the growth of some types of agriculture, tourism, and water treatment strategies, continue to surface. Little, however, is known about how and why these conflicts emerge and intensify in a country such as New Zealand. To address this lacuna, this project asks the following research question: How and why does the commercialisation of freshwater influence the emergence and intensification of hydropolitical conflict intentionality in New Zealand? This study presents two central arguments. First, that the introduction of a commercial enterprise motivates the emergence of hydropolitical conflict intentionality if the enterprise is incompatible with the interests of local communities.
