[email protected] INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW IFEA World Festival and Event City Award Australia/New Zealand population under 500,000 Lake Taupo District, New Zealand LAKE TAUPO DISTRICT, NEW ZEALAND The Lake Taupo district of New Zealand is heralded as the country’s festival and event capital and, it’s no secret why, when you take a close look at the portfolio of events hosted in the district. Sport, art, music and culture all feature in a carefully crafted annual schedule. All festivals and events occur under a watchful eye ensuring the guiding principles of reputation, quality, balance and relationships are not only observed but are breathed, along with passion, into each and every one. Lake Taupo hosts a mix of world events, many of which are the biggest of their type in the southern hemisphere; New Zealand’s biggest one-day international event; a number of events which are the largest of their type in New Zealand; and a raft of unique festivals and events which all add colour to the weave of the district’s social fabric. The community as a whole is passionate about producing and supporting quality celebrations for all to enjoy. Our people engage keenly in all aspects of the festivals and events hosted by the Lake Taupo District – from volunteer support person to active participant – which gives each event a sense of belonging in our district and ensures its ongoing success. INTERESTING FACTS AND FIGURES • The greater district population sits at 32,500 with 23,000 residing in Taupo township. • Over 75,000 competitors visit Taupo each year (this figure excludes supporters, officials and crews). • Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge brings over 27,000 both participating and non-participating visitors to Taupo. This figure far exceeds available commercial accommodation. However, with local residents opening their homes, all all visitors are easily accommodated. • A total budget of NZ$320,000 assists in the generation of approximately NZ$20million in economic return. • Volunteer programmes sponsored by Taupo District Council increase personal skills and enhance individuals ability to work with events. • All volunteer groups are paid a stipend for their support services at festivals and events. Wthout this opportunity, a number of critical social agencies would lack sufficient funds to operate. • Innovative policy has been implemented ensuring a very high quality standard and reputation is maintained. Other regions throughout New Zealand are yet to take this step as the policy is considered risky. • An events resource facility has been built by Taupo District Council. This houses all manner of equipment from sound systems to traffic cones, barriers and finish gantries. Festival and event managers are able to access the majority of equipment needed to run their fixture from this one facility. This equipment is free to all local events. • A forward-thinking Taupo District Council commissioned facilities far beyond that which a town of 23,000 could ordinarily expect. This has enabled the district to host all nature, size and stature of festivals and events. • The festival and event capital of New Zealand has been built on a collective pride and passion which has been unable to be equalled anywhere else in the country. Through our guiding principles it continues to grow and florish. SECTION I COMMUNITY OVERVIEW COMMUNITY OVERVIEW The little New Zealand town of Taupo is considered a giant tourism and event mecca. The Taupo district is in the centre of New diverse as deerstalking, powerboat racing, Zealand’s North Island and includes Lake karate, golf, badminton, darts, rock climbing, Taupo; the towns of Taupo, Turangi and tramping, rugby, netball and swimming.

  • Protecting an Icon Managing Sources of Diffuse Nutrient Inflow to Lake Taupo, New Zealand Abstract Introduction Mandate for Acti
    Diffuse Pollution Conference, Dublin 2003 1C Water Resources Management PROTECTING AN ICON MANAGING SOURCES OF DIFFUSE NUTRIENT INFLOW TO LAKE TAUPO, NEW ZEALAND Tony Petch1, Justine Young1, Bruce Thorrold2 and Bill Vant1 1Environment Waikato, PO Box 4010, Hamilton East, New Zealand 2Dexcel Ltd, Private Bag 3221, Hamilton ABSTRACT Lake Taupo is a large, near pristine lake in New Zealand, highly valued for its clear blue waters. Increasing loads of nitrogen from the surrounding catchment threaten lake water quality. A management proposal is presented that promotes a sustainable development pathway for the lake community thereby protecting the lake for all New Zealanders. A community change process to protect the environmental, economic, cultural and spiritual values of a lake is described Keywords: Community, economy, Lake Taupo, land use, management, nutrients, policy, water quality INTRODUCTION Lake Taupo is the largest lake in New Zealand (area 620 km2, mean depth 95m). It is highly valued for its crystal blue water and dramatic vistas. These features provide the basis of an international tourist mecca and a world-class trout fishery as well as an important local recreation area and preferred retirement location. The lake is also important spiritually and culturally to the local indigenous people, Ngati Tuwharetoa. Lake Taupo’s excellent water quality is derived from extremely low levels of plant nutrients and phytoplankton. Unlike many other lakes, nitrogen availability rather than phosphorus limits phytoplankton growth in Taupo. Increased nutrient flows, especially nitrogen, from intensifying rural land use and urban growth in the catchment promotes algal and phytoplankton growth and threatens water clarity and the excellent water quality of the lake.

  • Drugs, Guns and Gangs’: Case Studies on Pacific States and How They Deploy NZ Media Regulators
    ‘BACK TO THE SOURCE’ 7. ‘Drugs, guns and gangs’: Case studies on Pacific states and how they deploy NZ media regulators ABSTRACT Media freedom and the capacity for investigative journalism have been steadily eroded in the South Pacific in the past five years in the wake of an entrenched coup and censorship in Fiji. The muzzling of the Fiji press, for decades one of the Pacific’s media trendsetters, has led to the emergence of a culture of self-censorship and a trend in some Pacific countries to harness New Zealand’s regulatory and self-regulatory media mechanisms to stifle unflattering reportage. The regulatory Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) and the self-regulatory NZ Press Council have made a total of four adjudications on complaints by both the Fiji military-backed regime and the Samoan government and in one case a NZ cabinet minister. The complaints have been twice against Fairfax New Zealand media—targeting a prominent regional print journalist with the first complaint in March 2008—and twice against television journalists, one of them against the highly rated current affairs programme Campbell Live. One complaint, over the reporting of Fiji, was made by NZ’s Rugby World Cup Minister. All but one of the complaints have been upheld by the regulatory/self-regulatory bodies. The one unsuccessful complaint is currently the subject of a High Court appeal by the Samoan Attorney-General’s Office and is over a television report that won the journalists concerned an investigative journalism award. This article examines case studies around this growing trend and explores the strategic impact on regional media and investigative journalism.

    WOOD CALDERAS AND GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS IN THE TAUPO VOLCANIC ZONE, NEW ZEALAND C Peter Wood Institute of Geological Nuclear Sciences Ltd, Wairakei Research Centre Taupo, New Zealand Key Words: Calderas, Geothermal Systems, Taupo Volcanic Zone. New Zcaland 2. TAUPO VOLCANIC ZONE The Taupo Volcanic Zone Fig. 1) is the consequence of plate subduction beneath the North Island of New Zcaland. ABSTRACT The thin continental crust (-15 km, Stem and Davey, 1987) spreads at rates up to 18 (Darby and Williams, 1991) Silicic calderas and geothermal systems in Taupo Volcanic in active rifting and subsidence. Since c. 1.6 Ma, the Zone (TVZ) of New Zealand are spatially related. Eight calderas, central TVZ has been the most frequently active and productive active since 1.6 Ma, occupy 45% of the Boundaries of region of rhyolitic volcanism on earth (Houghton et al., 1994). calderas arc often speculative, but of 20 geothermal systems producing an estimated 10 - 15 of rhyolite, and considercd, 15 occur on or next to a caldera margin where there is subordinate dacite, andesite and basalt. Debate continues whether enhanced deep permeability: the best examples are at Haroharo TVZ is a migrating andesitic arc and zone of asymmetric crustal where systems occur at the intersection of volcanic lineations and spreading (eg. Stem, or an andesite-dacite arc with bimodal caldera embayments, and at Rotorua. Drillhole evidence supports rhyolite-basalt back arc (eg. Cole, 1990). Whichever is the case, a realignment of caldera margin through the Wairakei- it is a matter of observation that most geothermal fields are geothermal field. Four geothermal systems have no known contained within the area of rhyolite volcanism.

  • The Taupo Eruption Sequence of AD 232±10 in Aotearoa New
    地学雑誌 Journal of Geography（Chigaku Zasshi） 130（1）117­141 2021 doi:10.5026/jgeography.130.117 The 100s: Significant Exposures of the World（ No. 12） The Taupō Eruption Sequence of AD 232 ± 10 in Aotearoa New Zealand: A Retrospection ＊ ＊ David J. LOWE and Adrian PITTARI ［Received 9 June, 2020; Accepted 13 August, 2020］ Abstract The Taupō eruption, also known as eruption Y, occurred in late summer to early autumn （typically late March to early April） in AD 232 10 yr at Taupō volcano, an ‘inverse’ caldera volcano underlying Lake Taupō in the central Taupō Volcanic Zone, North Island, Aotearoa New Zealand. The complex rhyolitic eruption, the most powerful eruption globally in the last 5000 years, lasted between several days and several weeks and generated five markedly contrasting pyroclastic fall deposits（ units Y1 to Y5） followed by the extremely violent emplacement of a low-aspect-ratio ignimbrite（ unit Y6）. The fall deposits include three phreatomagmatic units, Y1, Y3, and Y4, the latter two being the products of archetypal phreatoplinian events; and two magmatic units, Y2 and Y5, the latter being the product of an exceptionally powerful plinian （previously described as ‘ultraplinian’） event with an extreme magma discharge rate around 108 to 1010 kg s-1. The pyroclastic fall-generating eruptions were followed by the climactic emplace- ment of the entirely non-welded Taupō ignimbrite（ Y6）. It was generated by the catastrophic collapse of the 35 to 40-km-high plinian eruption column（ Y5） that produced a very-fast-moving （600 to 900 km h-1）, hot（ up to 500°C） pyroclastic flow（ density current） that covered about 20,000 km2 of central North Island over a near-circular area ~160 km in diameter, centred on Lake Taupō, in fewer than about ten to 15 minutes.

    LINZEY | Making a Place: Mangakino 1946-62 | AHA: Architectural History Aotearoa (2008) vol 5:65-71 Making a Place: Mangakino 1946-62 Kate Linzey, Interior Design, Weltec, Wellington ABSTRACT: In between Whakamaru (1949-56) and Maraetai (1946-53) dams, on the Waikato River, sits Mangakino. Planned and built from c1948 to 1951, by the Town Planning section of the Ministry of Works, the civic centre was to provide housing and services for the work force on the Maraetai scheme. The architectural design of these dams has previously been discussed as the work of émigré architect, Fredrick Neumann/Newman (Leach), and the town, as that of Ernst Plischke (Lloyd-Jenkins, Sarnitz). In 1949 the plan for Mangakino was published, alongside the plan for Upper Hutt, in the February-March edition of the Design Review. As two "rapidly growing towns," Upper Hutt and Mangakino are briefly reviewed in the context of two essays ("Who wants community centres?" and "Community Centres" by HCD Somerset), an outline of the curriculum of the new School of Architecture and Town Planning, run by the Architectural Centre, and notification of the 1948 Town Planning Amendment Act. As published in the Design Review, the plan of Mangakino includes a church in the south west, with the sporting facilities to the north and Rangatira Drive flanking a shopping strip on the east. The church sits in a field of grass, isolated and apparently serene. In the drawing published in the monograph Ernst Plischke, however, this building has been cropped off. Focusing on the case of Mangakino, this essay will review the discourse of town planning for secular and religious communities in the late 1940s.
