BAY OF PLENTY REGIONAL COUNCIL TOI MOANA 1 Executive summary Many of New Zealand’s most well-known lakes and rivers can be found in the Bay of Plenty region and are therefore known to attract significant visitor numbers annually. The preservation and protection of these waterways are what attracts so many international and domestic tourists to them. Due to the close proximity of the Bay of Plenty lakes and rivers, and their popularity, they are extremely susceptible to invasive pest species. -

1. Kerosene Creek 2. Wairua Stream
1. Kerosene Creek First on our list of hot pools in Rotorua is the world-famous Kerosene Creek. 35 minutes from Rotorua and down a gravel road will take you to the thermal pool and waterfall at Kerosene Creek. The creek is popular not just for its geothermal activity but its beautiful surroundings. Location: 28km south of Rotorua. Take State Highway 5, then travel about 2km down Old Waiotapu Road. 2. Wairua Stream Wairua Stream is a bit harder to get to as you have to get a boat across Lake Tarawera, making it a local’s paradise. It is near Te Rata Bay and is one of the most picturesque hot pools near Rotorua. Location: About 25 minutes out of Rotorua down Spencer Road, Lake Tarawera. By boat, launch at Stoney Point and head straight across Lake Tarawera to the headlands on the right of Mt Tarawera. Go straight through these headlands to where the lake opens. Steer gently to starboard and make for the only beach in this area. 3. Wai-o-Tapu / The Bridge / The Secret Spot When it comes to Rotorua hot pools, it does not get more popular thank this one. Funnily enough, it is supposed to be a secret. Get the remnants from the Wai-O-Tapu geothermal attraction by bathing in the hot pool formed by the hot Wai-O-Tapu stream meeting the cool river. It’s a thermal pool, completely natural and completely free! Location: Just outside the Wai-O-Tapu geothermal park (under the bridge). 30km south of Rotorua just off State Highway 5. -
The Sedimentation and Drainage History of Haroharo Caldera and the Tarawera River System, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
The Sedimentation and Drainage History of Haroharo Caldera and The Tarawera River System, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand Prepared by K A Hodgson and I A Nairn Environment Bay of Plenty Operations Publication 2004/03 August 2004 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN 1176 - 5550 Working with our communities for a better environment Environment Bay of Plenty i Acknowledgements The Department of Conservation (Rotorua Lakes Office) permitted our studies in lake and river reserves. Fletcher Challenge Forests (and its successors) provided detailed contour maps and aerial photographs. Bryan Davy and Hugh Bibby (GNS) provided a pre- publication copy of their paper on seismic imaging in Lake Tarawera. PGSF Contract IANX0201 funded this study. Sedimentation and Drainage History, Tarawera River System Operations Publication 2004/03 Environment Bay of Plenty iii Executive Summary Haroharo caldera has been formed by the coalescence of multiple collapse structures over the last 350 kyr, the latest major collapse accompanying voluminous rhyolite pyroclastic eruptions at ~50 ka. The caldera has formed a sink for precipitation on surrounding catchments, with overflow via the Tarawera River through the Whakatane graben to the sea at ~30 km to NE. Lakes have probably always occupied at least part of the caldera floor, but the early lacustrine history is largely obscured by younger eruptives. Since 26 ka, the Haroharo, Okareka, Rotoma and Tarawera volcanic complexes have grown within the caldera during eleven eruption episodes, confining ten lakes on the caldera margins. Growth of the volcanic complexes has greatly altered drainage paths and ponding areas within and marginal to the caldera, so that the present ~700 km2 caldera catchment area is about half the ~1400 km2 area that drained into the caldera between 26 ka and 9.5 ka. -

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.

Guidebook for Pre-conference North Island, New Zealand „Volcanoes to Oceans‟ field tour (27-30 July). 19th World Soils Congress, International Union of Soil Sciences, Brisbane. Soil and Earth Sciences Occasional Publication No. 3, Massey University, Palmerston North, pp. 7-29. Quaternary volcanism, tephras, and tephra-derived soils in New Zealand: an introductory review David J. Lowe Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Waikato, Hamilton Introduction This two-part article comprises brief introductions to (1) volcanism and its products in general and to the broad pattern of Quaternary volcanism and tephrostratigraphy in North Island, and (2) the ensuing tephra-derived soils of North Island. Part 1 derives mainly from Smith et al. (2006), Leonard et al. (2007), and Lowe (2008a). Other useful reviews include those of Neall (2001), Graham (2008: Chapter 7), Wilson et al. (2009), and Cole et al. (2010). Recent reviews on tephras include Shane (2000), Alloway et al. (2007), Lowe (2008b, 2011), and Lowe et al. (2008a, 2008b). A history of tephra studies in New Zealand was reported by Lowe (1990). Part 2 describes the distribution and character of the main tephra-derived soils, these being Entisols and Andisols (mostly Vitrands and Udands) and Ultisols (Lowe and Palmer, 2005). Books on these and other soils in New Zealand include NZ Soil Bureau (1968), Gibbs (1980), McLaren and Cameron (1996), Cornforth (1998), and Molloy and Christie (1998). -

This report is in accordance with Clause 5.1 and 5.2 of Deed of Funding with the Crown, for the Programme. In this report, progress made on individual interventions is reported against the Annual Work Programme commitments. The overarching goal of the Deed of Funding Agreement is to meet community aspirations for water quality in the four Deed Funded lakes: Rotoiti, Rotorua, Ōkāreka and Rotoehu. Each of these lakes has a target water quality set by the community in the Bay of Plenty Regional Water and Land Plan. This target water quality is set by Trophic Level Index (TLI) and this report provides an update on the status of water quality across the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes, against the targets set for all lakes, Deed and non-Deed funded. -
