Jim Stanton of our Committee and Brentleigh Bond, Chair of the JETTIES: In a recent draft of its ‘Public Lake Structures Policy’, Lakes Community Board, have consistently advocated for rural RDC has signalled its desire to reduce the total number of private communities and it is important for us to realise that should the lake structures (jetties, boatsheds, moorings etc.) in some of the differential be removed in one jump this could be expected to District’s lakes. The policy indicates that at the end of the present add approximately 19.5% (or $400 per property...inc GST....with a ten (10) year ‘Right to Occupy’ period, an assessment will be medium capital value of $360,000) to the rates levied by RDC in completed on the practicalities of reducing the total number of the present 2012/13 year.

  • Part One: Nzdep Index of Deprivation
    Rotorua District Indicators of Socio-Economic Status 2008 5 PART ONE: NZDEP INDEX OF DEPRIVATION 6 Rotorua District Indicators of Socio-Economic Status 2008 NZDep INDEX OF DEPRIVATION Socio-economic status refers to a community’s ability to access resources and opportunities. Deprivation, or low socio-economic status, can cause social and economic exclusion and related social costs. Geographic differences in deprivation can be measured in terms of income levels and income sources, access to private motor vehicles, access to telecommunications, home ownership, living space, employment status, educational attainment, and family type. KEY POINTS: • 45.7% of the Rotorua District population lives in areas that are considered the 30% most deprived in the country. • The overall District scored 7 on the NZDep index in 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006. In 2006 there were more residents living in very deprived areas (NZDep of 9 and 10), and fewer residents living in high socio-economic areas (NZDep of 1 and 2). • The most deprived parts of the District include residential areas close to the CBD, western suburbs including Fordlands, Koutu, Western Heights and Selwyn Heights, Whaka in the South, Ngapuna in the east and the rural settlement of Kaingaroa Forest.2 The NZDep index is a weighted average of nine Census indicators of socio-economic status for a specific area (refer Table 1).3 The NZDep divides New Zealand into equal tenths. A score of 10 indicates a geographic area is in the most deprived 10 percent of all areas in New Zealand. The scoring system is interpreted in the opposite way to the Ministry of Education’s decile rating system.

Reviewed by: Name: Rochelle Carter Position: Principal Advisor, Science Date: 23 September 2019 Reviewed by: Name: Paul Scholes Position: Senior Environmental Scientist Date: 19 September 2019 BAY OF PLENTY REGIONAL COUNCIL TOI MOANA 1 Executive summary The Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) undertakes annual water quality surveys of popular recreational (bathing) sites and shellfish collection areas over the warmer months (October to March). These surveys assist in identifying the risk to public health from faecal contamination in these areas. This information is then used by public health and local authorities to advise the community on the suitability of water for bathing or shellfish collection. The objectives of this report are to present updated analyses for the 2018/19 bathing season, for the following: contact recreation suitability of approximately 70 river, lake, estuarine, and open coastal sites based on levels of faecal contamination; the state of faecal contamination at popular shellfish harvesting areas, and any associated health warnings; and contact recreation suitability of 13 lake and lake-fed river bathing sites based on biovolumes of planktonic cyanobacteria (free-floating blue-green algae). Faecal contamination at river, lake, estuarine, and open coast bathing sites Two indicator bacteria are used to assess the risk of faecal contamination in recreational waters. These are: Freshwaters – Escherichia coli (E. coli); and Marine waters – Enterococci.
