This discussion document is the start of a conversation about what we, as a community, want the Far North to look like in the future. Your comments about the ideas in this discussion document will be used to help create the blueprint for the district — a plan called Far North 2100, that will be the subject of public consultation in mid-2020. Far North 2100 will be a long-term (80+ years), high–level and wide-ranging, spatial plan for what the community wants the district to become by the year 2100. Far North 2100 will be a guide and single point of reference for future planning and decision-making . Detailed plans about things such as land use and infrastructure will follow the direction set in Far North 2100. FAR NORTH 2100 —MAPPING OUR FUTURE-TE WHAKAPAERANGI SECTION 02 PAGE 8 What is a spatial plan? A spatial plan brings together solutions to address multiple challenges and goals at the same time, in one document, for a specific location. A spatial plan can be done for a range of places from a whole country to a single town. A spatial plan is not just about land use. Far North 2100 will deal with economic, social, environmental, physical and cultural issues and goals for the whole of the Far North. It will also deal with things that are not the functions or responsibilities of the Far North District Council. So, in this discussion document, the word “we” does not refer to the Far North District Council, it refers to everyone who lives or works in the Far North. While the Council is leading the work to create Far North 2100, there will be a range of agencies responsible for doing the things required to achieve the future the district wants. What is in this document? This discussion document deals with possible content for the first two parts of Far North 2100 — the roles and the transformational opportunities. It is important to develop this content first because it will set the direction and scope of Far North 2100. After each section there is a series of questions that we welcome your feedback on. In section 04 of this document (page 39), there is information on how you can give your feedback. The content of this discussion document is based on workshops held by the Council, including one that was attended by representatives of some Far North iwi and hapū. However, the content is not endorsed or approved by the Far North District Council elected members or any of the iwi and hapū representatives. The content consists primarily of ideas to get the conversation started in the communities of the Far North about what should be included in Far North 2100. A draft of Far North 2100 will be consulted on in mid-2020. PAGE 9 SECTION 02 FAR NORTH 2100 —MAPPING OUR FUTURE-TE WHAKAPAERANGI 02 Role of the Far North in 2100 FAR NORTH 2100 —MAPPING OUR FUTURE-TE WHAKAPAERANGI SECTION 02 PAGE 10 P A G E 11 SECTION 02 FAR NORTH 2100 —MAPPING OUR FUTURE-TE WHAKAPAERANGI What is the Far North’s role? The role consists of the things: • we do well on a day-to-day basis, or do better than any other place in the country • that are unique to the Far North, things that don’t exist anywhere else or only happen here. The role explains the relationship between people and place. The Far North is a unique place, with its own distinctive history, geography and ecosystem. People have made it their home for centuries. Their activities and interactions have shaped, altered and defined the entire district. The first part of Far North 2100 will describe the role the Far North has, for: • the people who live or work here • the Northland Tai Tokerau region • New Zealand Aotearoa. Because Far North 2100 is future-focussed the Far North’s future role can be something different from what it is today. Or it could be a role that exists now, but is done differently or given more attention in the future. And the role of the future Far North can be more than just one thing. FAR NORTH 2100 —MAPPING OUR FUTURE-TE WHAKAPAERANGI SECTION 02 PA G E 12 The following pages contain three ideas for the future role of the Far North in 2100 (and beyond). The ideas are written as if they are existing roles, as if the person describing them is living in the year 2100.

Whangarei Harbour, a major shallow estuarine habitat with extensive mudflats, saltmarshes, shellbanks and mangroves, supports a rich diversity of international and resident coastal and wading birds which seasonally number in their thousands, despite the concentrations of housing, and the port, airport, cement and fertiliser works around it. Surrounding the outskirts of Whangarei City are numerous young scoria cones, clothed with nationally unique volcanic broadleaf forest, which are an important food source for the threatened kukupa (NZ pigeon). The once vast Hikurangi swamp on the Wairua River flood plain has been much diminished through drainage and development.

He married Sarah Richardson in 1838. He was consecrated the first Bishop of New Zealand on 17 October 1841 and left for New Zealand in December 1841. He was first based at Waimate, near the Bay of Islands, and immediately began the arduous journeys that were a feature of his bishopric. He moved to Auckland in 1844. In 1847-51 he made annual cruises to the islands of Melanesia. Selwyn visited England in 1854-55 and enlisted the services of the Reverend John Patteson, the future Bishop of Melanesia, and secured a missionary schooner, Southern Cross.

  • Does Collaborative Governance Increase Public Confidence in Water Management? Survey Evidence from Aotearoa New Zealand
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 13 | Issue 2 Tadaki, M.; Sinner, J.; Stahlmann-Brown, P. and Greenhalgh, S. 2020. Does collaborative governance increase public confidence in water management? Survey evidence from Aotearoa New Zealand. Water Alternatives 13(2): 302-323 Does Collaborative Governance Increase Public Confidence in Water Management? Survey Evidence from Aotearoa New Zealand Marc Tadaki Cawthron Institute, Nelson, New Zealand; [email protected] Jim Sinner Cawthron Institute, Nelson, New Zealand; [email protected] Philip Stahlmann-Brown Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Wellington, New Zealand; [email protected] Suzie Greenhalgh Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Auckland, New Zealand; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Collaborative decision-making is widely understood as a democratic corrective to top-down forms of environmental management; it is a way in which citizens can contribute local knowledge to the policy process and have a more direct role in shaping policies and rules that affect them and their environments. However, while the democratic virtues of collaborative governance are often asserted, they are rarely evidenced; this leaves claims of democratic empowerment open to question. This study used a longitudinal survey of three New Zealand regions (n = 1350) to identify whether major multi-year investments in collaborative decision-making (2012-2018) are leading to increased public confidence in the effectiveness, responsiveness and fairness of water management institutions. Residents in collaborative catchments were found to have scores that were statistically indistinguishable from residents of non-collaborative catchments on management effectiveness, perceived agreement about water management, and fairness. Collaborative catchment residents did assign higher scores for water management responsiveness than did other residents, but the size of this difference was small compared to the effects of gender, ethnicity, region and level of individuals’ prior engagement in water management.

  • Madagascar Has Long Been Known for Its Unique Biodiversity, from Various
    Madagascar has long been known for its unique biodiversity, from various strands of rainforest-dwelling, wild eyed lemurs to tomato frogs, panther chameleons, Satanic Leaf- tailed geckos and other wildlife that are on view nowhere else in the world. The reason, according to scientists, is the Indian Ocean Island’s isolation, having broken off from Africa 88 million years ago. But there’s another advantage to this isolation: a pristine landscape that is among the most beautiful anywhere. With a troubled past of political upheaval and immense poverty, however, no luxury lodges had appeared on the scene to allow visitors to experience this splendor. But with the opening of Miavana Island Sanctuary in April, that picture seems to be changing. The developer of the 14 villa private island resort located in the Nosy Ankao archipelago off the country’s northeast coast certainly knows a thing about luxury islands; French- Mauritian investor Thierry Dalais was one of the original investors in the Seychelles’ much lauded, celebrity retreat North Island. He first ventured to this remote stretch in the midst of 37,000 acres of protected marine space in 2009 to check out an investment in a seaweed farm but after the farm fizzled, he turned his focus to the area’s adventure prospects. “This is a place that has such beautiful beaches, sand spits, channels and shallow waters with beautiful coral and fish life,” he says. “Add to that underwater drop offs and canyons, rivers, mountains, mangroves, forests and savannah lands. It’s totally unique.” DOOKPHOTO The 14 villas at Miavana each have plunge pools.
