It lies within the Hawke’s Bay Region and is bordered by Taupo District to the west, Whakatane District to the north-west, Gisborne District to the north, and Hastings District to the south. 1.2 POPULATION AND SETTLEMENT 1.2.1 The (usually resident) population of the Wairoa District in 1996 was 9,900. The District population has declined since 1971. Between 1991 and 1996, the population has declined by 2.2% (compared to the population growth for New Zealand as a whole, of 7.2%). 1.2.2 At the 1996 Census: • 14.2% of the people in the Wairoa District were aged over 60 compared to the national average of 15.4%. • The proportion of preschool-age children living in the Wairoa District was 9.8% compared with 7.7% for all of New Zealand. • 57.8% of the population considered themselves to belong to the Maori ethnic group compared with all of New Zealand at 15.1%.

  • Asset Management Plan 2014 – 2024
    Asset Management Plan 2014 – 2024 1 April 2014 Summary Summary of ENL’s AMP Purpose of the AMP This Asset Management Plan (“AMP”) has been prepared to meet regulatory compliance requirements, demonstrate responsible asset stewardship, integrate stakeholder views, and communicate and justify network management practice and expenditure to Eastland Network Limited (“ENL”) stakeholders. Presentation of the AMP in this format also meets the requirements of the Electricity Distribution Information Disclosure Determination 2012. Primary stakeholders include ENL’s shareholder and customers, including retailers, generators and end-use electricity consumers. Other parties with an interest in ENL’s asset management include contractors who physically work on the system and regulatory agencies. Many factors impact on the effective long term management of a complex network of electricity assets, the life of which exceeds the tenure of the Managers responsible for them and whose operating environment introduces significant investment risks. For this reason, the overall scope of the AMP is wide, covering the regulatory environment, future service demands and technology development. While making long term forecasts to provide sustainability and establish the framework for ENL’s future, the AMP primarily drives work programs in the short to medium term. It is in all respects a living document. The practices and processes described are subject to continuous improvement, and detailed work programs are progressively refined throughout the year. The Eastland Group asset management team is the “owner” of this AMP. Completion date & planning period Preparation of the AMP was undertaken between January 2014 and March 2014. The ten year planning period considered is from 01 April 2014 to 31 March 2024.
