Area Unit Demographic Profile 2013 census This profile provides basic population and demographic information on the residents of the Hauraki District. Population and demographic information is important for targeting and delivery of Council services, facilities and resources. 1230728 1 Hauraki District – Area Units 1230728 2 Introduction Access to the Internet This profile has been produced to assist with decision making in As of the 2013 census, Statistics New Zealand replaced the the Hauraki District. By taking local statistics into consideration question about access to any phone at home with the question when making decisions Council can better assess the about access to the internet at home. circumstances and needs of the community. Over 67 percent of households in Ngatea, Ohinemuri and This profile provides data on 8 variables: the Hauraki Plains have access to the Internet, compared Access to the Internet with 63.4 percent of households in Hauraki District. Access to motor vehicles Turua has the largest population with internet access Home Ownership (76%). Household income In New Zealand 77 percent of the population have access Employment to the internet at home. Income Source Kerepehi has the largest population with no internet access (49%) followed by Paeroa (46%), Kaiaua (44%) and Waihi Highest Qualification (43%). Family Type These variables have been included in the Profile because they relate closely to the nine variables used in the New Zealand Social Deprivation Index (NZDep2013). Access to the Internet ‐ New Zealand The NZDep2013 ordinal scale ranges from 1 to 10, where 1 represents the areas with the least deprived scores and 10 the areas with the most deprived scores. A value of 10 indicates that the geographical unit is in the most deprived 10% of areas in New Zealand. The NZDep2013 reflects a continuum from 'least 23% deprivation' to 'most deprivation', rather than from 'affluence' to 'deprivation'. This was intended, as all the variables in NZDep2013 reflect a lack of something. No Access Access Please note however that the following New Zealand Statistics data is not directly comparable with the NZDep2013 data because that data excludes some age groups (aged over 65 years and under 18 77% years of age) for certain variables. The NZDep2013 data is also age/sex standardised.

Statistics for the median household income do not separate Whiritoa into its own Area Unit. The table above shows both the average and median household incomes for each Area Unit. The average/mean is calculated by adding the sum of all the quantities together and dividing the total by the number of quantities. The median represents the midpoint of a distribution, e.g. 50% of households earn more and less than the median figure. The median household income is considerably lower in New Zealand than the average household income. This is also reflected in the Area Unit statistics. 1230728 11 1230728 1230728 100 10 20 30 40 50 60 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 0 0 Loss Loss Household Household Zero income Zero income $1‐$5,000 $1‐$5,000 $5,001‐$10,000 $5,001‐$10,000 $10,001‐$15,000 $10,001‐$15,000 $15,001‐$20,000 $15,001‐$20,000 $20,001‐$25,000 Income $20,001‐$25,000 Income $25,001‐$30,000 $25,001‐$30,000 $30,001‐$35,000 $30,001‐$35,000 $35,001‐$40,000 $35,001‐$40,000 $40,001‐$50,000 ‐ ‐ $40,001‐$50,000 $50,001‐$60,000 Kaiaua Ngatea $50,001‐$60,000 $60,001‐$70,000 $60,001‐$70,000 $70,001‐$100,000 $70,001‐$100,000 $100,001‐$150,000 $100,001‐$150,000 $150,001 or More $150,001 or More Not stated Not stated 100 120 140 160 180 100 120 20 40 60 80 20 40 60 80 0 0 Loss Loss Household Zero income Household Zero income $1‐$5,000 $1‐$5,000 $5,001‐$10,000 $5,001‐$10,000 $10,001‐$15,000 $10,001‐$15,000 $15,001‐$20,000 $15,001‐$20,000 Plains Income $20,001‐$25,000 Income $20,001‐$25,000 $25,001‐$30,000 $25,001‐$30,000 $30,001‐$35,000 $30,001‐$35,000 $35,001‐$40,000 $35,001‐$40,000 ‐ $40,001‐$50,000 ‐ Hauraki Turua $40,001‐$50,000 $50,001‐$60,000 $60,001‐$70,000 $50,001‐$60,000 $70,001‐$100,000 $60,001‐$70,000 $70,001‐$100,000 $100,001‐$150,000 $150,001 or More $100,001‐$150,000 Not stated $150,001 or More Not stated 12 12 provide information for Ohinemuri asawhole.

    What You Need to Know About Our Mining Activities Before You Purchase a Property in Waihi

    What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi OceanaGold is mining under residential properties in Waihi East and also has consent to mine in other areas. Here is what you need to know if you are considering purchasing a property in Waihi. CEPA We are mining in the area inside the yellow line in Waihi East. This area is known as CEPA, the Correnso Extended Project Area. We are allowed to mine underground anywhere in this area. The top of the Correnso mine is at least 130 metres below the surface. This is about the same distance from the Sky Tower glass observation deck to the street. Before we tunnel under any property inside the CEPA area we must offer the property owner an ex gratia payment of 5% of the current market value of the property. Before we mine under a property we must offer the property owner the same ex gratia payment or the option of us purchasing the property at current market valuation. If the property you are considering purchasing has already received an ex gratia payment this should be recorded on the LIM report. In the event that we mine under the property and offer to purchase it, the ex gratia payment will be deducted from the amount we offer. This does not apply to a sale on the open market. We advise that you check the LIM of any property you are considering purchasing.

The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

    Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: an Example of Council(S), Consultant and Contractor Co-Operation to Remove a Historic Blight on the Landscape

    Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: An example of Council(s), Consultant and Contractor co-operation to remove a historic blight on the landscape. The Kaiaua coastline on the Gulf of Thames is an area of scenic and natural beauty. However, a 205m stretch of the coastline was for 20yrs used as a landfill for disposal of domestic and demolition waste, including asbestos containing material (ACM). Buried in natural hollows and localised excavations, and compressed to less than 1m thick the wastes lay hidden and largely forgotten until coastal erosion and retreat of the shoreline started to expose and wash out the refuse. Hauraki District Council inherited this legacy and decided to do something about it. To achieve a cost effective and practical level of remediation required a pragmatic approach by Regional and District Councils through the consenting process, by the Consultant in planning, verification and oversight, and by the Contractor working within a tight time frame, tidal and environmental constraints. The work also attracted considerable public and press attention. Close liaison and co-operation between all parties was essential during the site works including shared supervision of the work and joint assessment of materials that could be retained. In this paper we describe the constraints affecting the project and approaches used to overcome these to achieve a successful and acceptable level of site remediation. Authors: Ken Read: Principal Engineering Geologist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Andre Tibshraeny: Project Manager Hauraki District Council, Paeroa Debbie Dewar: Senior Environmental Scientist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Key Words: Landfill, Consenting, Asbestos, Contaminated Land, Remediation Introduction with site materials where possible or imported shelly material from further north on the The former Kaiaua landfill, located shoreline.
