Located in the Central North Island of New Zealand, the district includes the large catchment area of Lake Taupo, the hydro- electric dams on the Tongariro and the upper Waikato rivers and substantial geothermal resources. The district contains expansive areas of exotic pine forests and farmlands - the predominant land uses - and includes native forests and parts of the Tongariro National Park, the Kaimanawa Range, the Pureora Forest Park and the Central Plateau mountains. Taupo, Turangi and Mangakino are the three main urban areas in the district. There are many lakeside settlements around the shores of Lake Taupo and the Waikato River.

The theme for the Expo was ‘Our neighbourhood, our future’. 9 T O W A R D S 0 9 | OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, OUR FUTURE What is the ten year plan? The ten year plan is prepared every three years, looking ahead ten years. The ten year plan is our main planning document that establishes what will be done, how much it will cost and then identifies how we will pay for everything. It is also the Annual Plan for the 2009/10 financial year. All local authorities are required by the Local Government Act 00 (LGA) to produce a ten year plan (a Long Term Council Com- munity Plan). This plan replaces the 006-06 Long Term Council Community Plan. The ten year plan also illustrates the different roles we play in the promoting social, economic, environ- mental and cultural well-being of our communities, and how we are responding to the outcomes identi- fied by the community. Taking a sustainable development approach means that we take a long term view of our activities and their impact on the district and on present and future communities. How do the Community Outcomes relate to what we do?

    Taupō District Council Infrastructure Strategy 2021-51

    Taupō District Council Infrastructure Strategy 2021-51 Taupō District Council Infrastructure Strategy 2021-51 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this Infrastructure Strategy to identify issues that will face Council’s infrastructure over the next 30 years, and to identify the options available for addressing the issues. 2. INTRODUCTION Infrastructure is essential to connect people and place. In Aotearoa, the provision of services and facilities that meet the current and future needs of communities falls under the responsibilities of district councils. Effective infrastructure planning is critical to ensure economic prosperity and to enable populations to access fundamental services and facilities of everyday living. However, building and maintaining infrastructure is expensive and requires careful and considered management to ensure the current and future needs of communities are provided for. Strategic and integrated planning is required to review, anticipate and adapt to changing scenarios There are six themes that will influence the decisions we make about maintaining and managing our infrastructure over the next 30 years. These themes are: • Population and demographic change • Protecting the health of our communities • Protecting the health of our environment • Maintaining and renewing our infrastructure • The resilience of our infrastructure • Providing for the Māori world view By understanding these themes mentioned above, the strategy will identify the issues facing our infrastructure and then discuss the options available for responding

    Project Update 2: Taupō Sports Fishery Review

    Exploring Future Opportunities for the Taupō Fishery Project Update #2 The Taupō Sports Fishery Review is now progressing through the final stages of the public consultation and engagement stage. To date the Project Team has met with the following groups: • Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust • Taupō District Council • Key Department staff, including Fisheries Staff • Fish and Game • Business, marketing and events representatives • Local fishing guides (Turangi and Taupō, Boat and River ) Members of the working team have also talked to a wide number of individuals (fishing guides, business owners, fishers etc) who have contacted us and provided some useful insights and information based on their knowledge and experience in the Taupō Fishery and wider. Survey The online survey has also closed with 742 responses received, a summary report is attached. The responses are currently being assessed by APR Experts (who are preparing the economic assessment of the fishery) and Michael in National Office (to look at social responses, comments and trends). The team is very pleased with this response and is far in excess of what was anticipated. Economic Assessment The 1983 economic assessment of the Taupō Fishery is currently being revised by APR Consultants, who undertook the initial report. This assessment will provide the value of the fishery to the Taupō District as well as a wider range of information on use and associated spending and user trends. Public Workshops Two public workshops have been scheduled next week in Turangi and Taupō. The intent of the workshops is to provide participants with a brief update on the progress of the project and test some of the findings of the survey and wider consultation to date.

SUMMARY Ngamatea Swamp, Waiouru, has been severely modified by fire, grazing, drain excavation and other factors. A survey of the wetland's vegetation and wildlife in September 1988 showed that parts of the area still have important natural features which it would be possible to retain, or even enhance, with appropriate management. An environmental impact assessment made in 1978, before drains were excavated, did not identify the significant vegetation types and plant species which are still present.
