Rotorua Bus Network Review Executive Summary Beca Limited was commissioned by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council to review options to improve the efficiency of the bus network in Rotorua’s urban area. This review will to inform new contracts for bus service due to be procured in 2015. The review process included discussions with a number of key stakeholders, notably Rotorua District Council and the current bus operator. The Rotorua urban bus network has seen increasing patronage in the last decade, despite many of the current bus routes in Rotorua providing a relatively slow service compared to a trip by car. The Bay of Plenty Regional Public Transport Plan 2013 sets out policies to provide frequent, reliable, convenient and efficient urban services. The main strengths of Rotorua’s bus network are its good basic route structure, standardised service frequencies, the efficiency of bus utilisation and the simple fare system. A new fleet has recently been introduced which provides more capacity, and will make boarding and alighting easier.

  • Part One: Nzdep Index of Deprivation
    Rotorua District Indicators of Socio-Economic Status 2008 5 PART ONE: NZDEP INDEX OF DEPRIVATION 6 Rotorua District Indicators of Socio-Economic Status 2008 NZDep INDEX OF DEPRIVATION Socio-economic status refers to a community’s ability to access resources and opportunities. Deprivation, or low socio-economic status, can cause social and economic exclusion and related social costs. Geographic differences in deprivation can be measured in terms of income levels and income sources, access to private motor vehicles, access to telecommunications, home ownership, living space, employment status, educational attainment, and family type. KEY POINTS: • 45.7% of the Rotorua District population lives in areas that are considered the 30% most deprived in the country. • The overall District scored 7 on the NZDep index in 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006. In 2006 there were more residents living in very deprived areas (NZDep of 9 and 10), and fewer residents living in high socio-economic areas (NZDep of 1 and 2). • The most deprived parts of the District include residential areas close to the CBD, western suburbs including Fordlands, Koutu, Western Heights and Selwyn Heights, Whaka in the South, Ngapuna in the east and the rural settlement of Kaingaroa Forest.2 The NZDep index is a weighted average of nine Census indicators of socio-economic status for a specific area (refer Table 1).3 The NZDep divides New Zealand into equal tenths. A score of 10 indicates a geographic area is in the most deprived 10 percent of all areas in New Zealand. The scoring system is interpreted in the opposite way to the Ministry of Education’s decile rating system.
