Lake Rotoiti Ratepayers & Residents Association
Lake Rotoiti Ratepayers & Residents Association Ohau Channel paving its way info Lake Rotoiti Kia Ora Greetings from the Lake Another year is rapidly drawing to a close as we continue to keep our eyes and ears keenly tuned to the events and occurrences of the District and particularly those which concern Lake Rotoiti. Some issues, such as the On-Site Effluent Treatment Regional Plan, have been on the boil whilst a host of others remain on the simmer awaiting positive direction or otherwise. Your committee has again devoted considerable time and effort in attempting to ensure that our ratepayer dollars are fairly and equitably distributed, and that any outcome in terms of regulation changes, funding proposals, or other decisions are appropriate and acceptable, firstly for those upon whom they impact directly, and secondly for the District as a whole. We believe, and sincerely hope, that our interest and intervention has helped to realise or at least enhance the expectations of our communities. The Association is once again grateful for the solid backing received from its more than 400 subscribers who provide the strength and support behind the many submissions and requests which are made on behalf of Rotoiti stakehol ders . Many thanks also to our sponsors and advertisers, all of whom assist us in meeting our goals and objectives. May we take this opportunity to wish each and everyone another joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2 Central Bay of Plenty
Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2 Central Bay of Plenty Environment Bay of Plenty Environmental Publication 2010/11-2 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN: 1175 9372 Working with our communities for a better environment E mahi ngatahi e pai ake ai te taiao Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2: Central Bay of Plenty Environmental Publication 2010/11-2 ISSN: 1175 9372 June 2010 Environment Bay of Plenty 5 Quay Street PO Box 364 Whakatane 3158 NEW ZEALAND Prepared by W. C. Rijkse and D. F. Guinto Preface Soil is a resource, a living, breathing entity that, if treated properly, will maintain itself. It’s our lifeline for survival. When it has finally been depleted, the human population will disappear. Project your imagination into the soil below you next time you go into the garden. Think with compassion of the life that exists there. Think, the drama, the harvesting, and the work that carries on ceaselessly. Think about the meaning of being a steward for the earth. Marjorie Harris, In the Garden (1995) For as long as I can remember I have been intrigued and fascinated by landscapes and soils of New Zealand, in particular of the Bay of Plenty where I spent a good deal of my career mapping soils. A landscape to me is a puzzle, a closed book, and to be able to open that book, to solve the puzzle by finding out what soils are in the landscape and what are the possibilities for good land use, is a joy we scientists call pedology – the science of soils. -
Over the Years
OVER THE YEARS A HISTORY OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY HALLS IN THE ROTORUA DISTRICT FOREWORD Nau mai, Haere mai, There are nine rural community halls in the Rotorua District, at Broadlands, Kaharoa, Mamaku, Ngakuru, Ngongotaha, Okareka, Reporoa, Rerewhakaaitu, and Waikite. Volunteers have driven the development and maintenance of these vital community facilities, which have been the focus for community functions and gatherings for many years. In 2001, Rotorua District Council awarded certificates of appreciation to many of these volunteers for their tireless efforts to sustain the upkeep of their local halls. This booklet was commissioned by the District Council to record the history of Rotorua’s rural halls, for both archival and community interest. Information was compiled in the latter months of 2002 by Marlana Maru, a Year 2 Bachelor of Applied Social Science student from the Waiariki Institute of Technology. RDC Social Research Officer Paul Killerby undertook additional editing and formatting. Marlana and I would like to thank the many local informants whose memories and impressions contributed to this booklet. In particular we would like to thank Barbara Blackburn, Peter Blackburn, Andy Burnett, Mary Burnett, David Fleet, Lyn Fleet, Maxine Greenslade, Triss Hill, Wally Hope, Marie Jepsen, Noeleen Martelli, Verna Martelli, Pam Murray, Jim Nicholson, Norman Reichardt, Rei Reichardt, Arthur Roe, Don Sandilands, and Chris Stevens. We would welcome any further background information on the halls listed in this booklet, which will be recorded and utilised in any further update of the publication.

December 1997
DECEMBER 1997 Kia Ora Greetings from the Lake With the end of another year fast approaching, it is time to provide an update on activities and occurences since our June Newsletter. As Local Government bodies continue to take on greater responsibilities the result is closer consultation with communities and individuals. This reflects a growing awareness of how co-ordinated efforts can develop and expand initiatives. Our pro-active participation in this arena, whilst creating extra workloads, means that we remain to the forefront in our aim to represent the interests and aspirations of all who live within the Lake Rotoiti catchment along with those who visit the area for recreation and pleasure. There is a growing need to ensure that an ecological balance is maintained in the face of ever increasing pressures on the lakes and their environs. It is essential that community organisations such as ourselves continue to seek appropriate decisions and solutions in meeting the demands of progress whilst promoting fundamental improvements to our own quality of life. Again, we extend thanks to our sponsors and advertisers along with the many of you who subscribed to the Association. Your ongoing support will enhance our ability to pursue the many issues of importance which affect our localities. We trust that you find this Newsletter of interest and wish each and everyone of you a very merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.
