My family has been at beautiful Lake Tarawera for five generations and has seen the impact of ever increasing development, visitors and commercial ventures on and around the lake. Sewerage reticulation is a facet of improving lake water quality, but time and money may be better allocated toward minimizing the larger percentage of water quality issues coming from other directions. In accordance with the Lake Tarawera Sewerage Steering Committee, I am not prepared to pay up front for any sewerage scheme should plans progress. Further funding options for the scheme should be explored to ensure that disproportionate funds are not required of Tarawera ratepayers.

    Fonterra Limited 92A Russley Road CHRISTCHURCH 19 March 2021 Waipa District Council Private Bag 2402 TE AWAMUTU 3840 Attention: RMA Hearings Panel Commissioners Dear Commissioners, RE: FONTERRA LIMITED SUBMISSION ON PLAN CHANGE 12 Fonterra Limited ("Fonterra") lodged a submission generally supporting Proposed Private Plan Change 12 ("PC12"), as lodged with the Waipa District Council by Sanderson Group Limited and Kotare Properties Limited ("the applicant"). This position of support was subject to the provision of further information and further assessment on the impacts that the proposed development will have on the wider transportation network. Following the lodgement of the submission, the applicant has proactively engaged with Fonterra to address its concerns. It is now understood that PC12 includes a rule that any development / subdivision before 2035 within the northern half (Stage 2) of the Structure Plan area is a Non-Complying Activity. The Stage 2 area accesses onto Pirongia Road/Alexandra Street which is where the Te Awamutu Dairy Manufacturing Facility is located. The Stage 1 area accesses onto Frontier Road/Rewi Street which does not connect directly to Alexandra Street. The applicant anticipates that the traffic from Stage 1 will largely use Rewi Street and will therefore have limited effects on Alexandra Street. With no development of Stage 2 until after 2035 it effectively maintains the status quo for that part of the Growth Cell (and therefore no additional effects on the transportation network). Based on the information provided by the applicant setting out that Stage 2 will not be developed until 2035, Fonterra’s concerns have been addressed. In that respect, Fonterra supports the section 42A report authors recommendation that Stage 1 be rezoned from Deferred Residential Zone to Residential, and that Stage 2 should remain as Deferred Residential Zone.

  • Update on the Rotorua Lakes Nutrient Management Plan Implementation
    Lamb, S., 2017. Update on the Rotorua Lakes nutrient management plan implementation. In: Science and policy: nutrient management challenges for the next generation. http://flrc.massey.ac.nz/publications.html. Occasional Report No. 30. Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. 3 pages. UPDATE ON THE ROTORUA LAKES NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Stephen Lamb BOP Regional Council, Tauranga Lake Rotorua is the largest lake in the Rotorua district. It is highly valued by iwi and community – and is of national importance. Lake Rotorua was returned to Te Arawa via the 2004 Deed of Settlement and the lakebed is vested in Te Arawa. The management of the Lakes is shared between the partners to the Rotorua Lakes Strategy Group (Te Arawa Lakes Trust, Bay of Plenty Regional Council and Rotorua Lakes Council). The Lake Rotorua catchment is dominated by pastoral farming and forestry. The catchment includes around 9,000 hectares of indigenous vegetation. Dairy farming occurs on about a quarter of the pastoral farming land in the catchment, with drystock landuse occupying the balance. Forestry occupies around 43% of land within the catchment. The water quality for Lake Rotorua has been the subject of concern for a number of decades. The water quality of the 1960s was identified as a suitable and achievable target for the lake by the community. This has been endorsed through the Bay of Plenty’s Operative Regional Water and Land Plan which established a target Trophic Level Index (TLI) for the Lake of 4.2. The Lake is co-limited by nitrogen and phosphorus and management of both these nutrients is required to achieve the TLI.
