C. Rijkse and D. F. Guinto Preface Soil is a resource, a living, breathing entity that, if treated properly, will maintain itself. It’s our lifeline for survival. When it has finally been depleted, the human population will disappear. Project your imagination into the soil below you next time you go into the garden. Think with compassion of the life that exists there. Think, the drama, the harvesting, and the work that carries on ceaselessly. Think about the meaning of being a steward for the earth. Marjorie Harris, In the Garden (1995) For as long as I can remember I have been intrigued and fascinated by landscapes and soils of New Zealand, in particular of the Bay of Plenty where I spent a good deal of my career mapping soils. A landscape to me is a puzzle, a closed book, and to be able to open that book, to solve the puzzle by finding out what soils are in the landscape and what are the possibilities for good land use, is a joy we scientists call pedology – the science of soils.

  • Over the Years
    OVER THE YEARS A HISTORY OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY HALLS IN THE ROTORUA DISTRICT FOREWORD Nau mai, Haere mai, There are nine rural community halls in the Rotorua District, at Broadlands, Kaharoa, Mamaku, Ngakuru, Ngongotaha, Okareka, Reporoa, Rerewhakaaitu, and Waikite. Volunteers have driven the development and maintenance of these vital community facilities, which have been the focus for community functions and gatherings for many years. In 2001, Rotorua District Council awarded certificates of appreciation to many of these volunteers for their tireless efforts to sustain the upkeep of their local halls. This booklet was commissioned by the District Council to record the history of Rotorua’s rural halls, for both archival and community interest. Information was compiled in the latter months of 2002 by Marlana Maru, a Year 2 Bachelor of Applied Social Science student from the Waiariki Institute of Technology. RDC Social Research Officer Paul Killerby undertook additional editing and formatting. Marlana and I would like to thank the many local informants whose memories and impressions contributed to this booklet. In particular we would like to thank Barbara Blackburn, Peter Blackburn, Andy Burnett, Mary Burnett, David Fleet, Lyn Fleet, Maxine Greenslade, Triss Hill, Wally Hope, Marie Jepsen, Noeleen Martelli, Verna Martelli, Pam Murray, Jim Nicholson, Norman Reichardt, Rei Reichardt, Arthur Roe, Don Sandilands, and Chris Stevens. We would welcome any further background information on the halls listed in this booklet, which will be recorded and utilised in any further update of the publication.

  • 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.
