Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2 Central Bay of Plenty
Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2 Central Bay of Plenty Environment Bay of Plenty Environmental Publication 2010/11-2 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN: 1175 9372 Working with our communities for a better environment E mahi ngatahi e pai ake ai te taiao Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2: Central Bay of Plenty Environmental Publication 2010/11-2 ISSN: 1175 9372 June 2010 Environment Bay of Plenty 5 Quay Street PO Box 364 Whakatane 3158 NEW ZEALAND Prepared by W. 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.

Reducing Nutrient Losses to Lake Rerewhaakitu
REDUCING NUTRIENT LOSSES TO LAKE REREWHAAKITU Bob Longhurst 1, Ian Power 1, Martin Hawke 2, Bob Parker 3 1 AgResearch Ruakura, Hamilton 2 Bay of Plenty Farm & Pastoral Research, Rotorua 3 Fruition Horticulture, Tauranga Abstract Lake Rerewhakaaitu is a mesotrophic shallow lake, unique amongst the Rotorua Lakes, for having a catchment comprising mostly dairy farms. Water quality, as measured by the trophic level index (TLI), has in recent years gone above the Bay of Plenty Regional Council‟s TLI target of 3.6. Farmers within the catchment are concerned about: 1) the future condition of the lake and 2) possible imposition of constraints on their farming operations. During the past eight years Sustainable Farming Fund projects have been set up to address water quality issues by identifying ways that pastoral management in the catchment could be changed to minimise the environmental impact on the lake, and allow sustainable dairy farming to continue. In Phase 1 a farmer survey was conducted and OVERSEER® nutrient budgets were compiled for each farm in the lake‟s catchment. Nitrogen management was the main priority. Phase 2 focused on phosphorus (P) management, identifying the main pollutant form of P so that appropriate on-farm P-mitigations could be demonstrated. In Phase 3 OVERSEER® nutrient budgets were again compiled for each farm and a „Farm Enviro Walk‟ undertaken to identify critical source areas for nutrient loss. On-farm mitigations have been identified for farmers to implement. The collective response of farmer mitigations has seen total modelled N and P nutrient loadings from the catchment between 2002/03 and 2009/10 reduced by 18% and 28% respectively. -
