  • Tairāwhiti 2050 Shaping the Future of Our Region
    Te Kaunihera o Te Tairāwhiti Gisborne District Council TAIRĀWHITI 2050 SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR REGION TAIRĀWHITI REGIONAL SPATIAL PLAN Adopted by Gisborne District Council 2020 MŌ TĒNEI MĀHERE ABOUT THIS PLAN WHAT IS TAIRĀWHITI 2050 Tairāwhiti 2050 is Gisborne District Council’s vision for the region for the next 30 years. We call this our “spatial plan”, which is a document that: • states our region’s major challenges and how we’ll tackle them. • outlines our shared aspirations for our region’s future wellbeing and what we expect to achieve by 2050. • aligns the strategies and plans of Council, government agencies and other organisations to enable collaboration. • sets direction for regional planning and development, decision-making and investments. • maps out where critical infrastructure, transport connections and development will occur and where there are constraints. WHY WE NEED A SPATIAL PLAN The challenges and opportunities facing those who call Tairāwhiti home are complex and interconnected. How we as a community, plan and respond over the next 30 years will make a significant difference to future generations. Tairāwhiti does not have a stand-alone document that provides a clear and shared vision about what we want our region to look like in the future. Tairāwhiti 2050 therefore considers the current economic, social, environmental, physical and cultural trends so that integrated solutions are found to address the various challenges and opportunities for growth and change. No single organisation can respond alone, so region-wide collaboration is required. Together with communities and agencies we’ve created this plan to provide strategic direction in a way that considers social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing.

  • The Exemplary Case of Toyota New Zealand
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. AN ANALYSIS OF MNE SUBSIDIARY PERFORMANCE: THE EXEMPLARY CASE OF TOYOTA NEW ZEALAND A 115.897 & 115.898 (total 120 credit) Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Business Studies at Massey University, New Zealand. Sheina C Osten 2015 ABSTRACT Within the ever-expanding global market place the importance of understanding MNE parent- subsidiary relationships and the impact on subsidiary performance has become increasingly important. International business researchers have examined MNE entry processes into foreign markets; the methods of international business operations; and, processes for organisational and subsidiary control as contributors to performance. But little attention has been paid to the contribution from subsidiary-level attributes, those attributes held and or developed within the subsidiary itself. Toyota New Zealand’s (TNZ) sustained success in the New Zealand market place over the past three decades suggests that local-level factors must be enabling TNZ to achieve this level of performance. In no other market in the world has Toyota achieved the same level of success as that achieved in New Zealand, and concurrently across multiple market segments (e.g., small car, Corolla; light truck 4WD, Hilux; commercial van, Hiace). As a consequence TNZ appears to be a worthy site – an exemplar case study - in which to explore the attributes/mechanisms used within a subsidiary business that actually achieve disproportionate performance relative to competitors at a local level.

Motor Racing has been affected by the Covid 19 virus and I am sure a lot of businesses are feeling the pain. Motor Racing events that have been held so far have attracted few entries and this is very concerning for the forthcoming season. To run a race meeting, most costs are fixed so a minimum level of entries is required before the event can proceed. Only a certain number of races can be done in day and fields of less than fifteen cars make a meeting very marginal. Of course entry fees could be increased but HRC considers this would be counter productive. Photo Credit – Matt Smith For 19th July at Hampton Downs HRC tried, but with only ten entries thirteen days out from the event HRC were not able to take the risk or cover a hefty loss so we had no choice but to cancel. This meeting addressed the concerns of drivers that entry fees were too high but certainly did not fix the entry problem. Event was widely advertised on the net with a total of 8000 views Entries can be transferred to Winter Series Round 2 on the 23rd August or HRC will make a full refund We were probably a bit optimistic in expecting a reasonable entry when our survey results showed we could only expect 50% of our competitors to start racing again.

    Dog Policy 2010 Prepared pursuant to Section 10 of the Dog Control Act. Introduction Our objective Our policy Appendices Introduction This policy on dogs is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Dog Control Act 1996 (‘the Act’) and came into force on 2010. This policy aims to give effect to the Act by protecting the health and safety of the public whilst ensuring the well-being and welfare of dogs is protected through responsible ownership. The community expects dog owners to act as responsible owners. It is recognised that many in the community believe dogs can play a positive role in society and provide enjoyment for individuals and families. This policy seeks to balance those two expectations. Objective of this Policy The overriding objective of this policy is to encourage responsible dog ownership and community awareness to promote an environment where dogs and people can happily and peacefully co-exist. In order to meet this objective, dog owners must: 1. register their dog/s at three months of age and every year after; 2. provide for the health and well being of their dog; 3. keep their dogs under control when in a public place, particularly in and near places frequented by children; 4. ensure their dog doesn’t cause a nuisance to neighbours and other people by persistent and loud barking or howling; 5. keep their dog under direct control or confined on their property so it doesn’t wander or become lost; 6. pick up any faeces left by their dog in public places or on land not occupied by the dog owner; 7.
