This report paints a picture of how Mangawhai will be a place where people ‘grow well’. It shows how a well-connected community is a cohesive community. It shows how sustainability will ensure growth does not impact adversely on the environment. Good design will enable effective use of space and improve the look and feel of the built environment. Council has the opportunity to facilitate and help drive appropriate new urban design development with fit for purpose and fit for future solutions. This will require a different way of thinking that challenges solving the same problems with the same ideas, including new ways of funding. The Community Advisory Panel has aimed to lift the bar on community expectations and to look at growth through the lens of the community at large as well as of the individual. We urge the Council to take the principles of cohesiveness, connectivity, sustainability, safety and good design and use them to guide the development of the Mangawhai Community Plan. Community Advisory Panel, July 2017 3 VISION STATEMENT Our vision is that Mangawhai will be the leading New Zealand coastal village where people can grow well. To achieve this vision Mangawhai will need to become a more connected community, one which is sustainable and has a well thought out future plan. This needs to build on a strong foundation and provide direction for the future whilst acknowledging and building on the present. OBJECTIVES · Protect and enhance public access and the public realm, including enjoyment of the harbour and beaches; · Manage and plan growth to retain the special character of Mangawhai; · Promote affordable and sustainable infrastructure that protects and retains a sense of openness and informality - ‘beach atmosphere’ This document aims to apply an urban design approach to the Mangawhai Community Plan (MCP) discussion. An urban design approach will ensure a cohesive integration of the community objectives. 4 SUSTAINABILITY Sustainability can be defined as WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE meeting the needs of the present URBAN DESIGN? without impacting the ability for future generations to meet their needs. Sustainability will be an underpinning principle to Mangawhai growth. From water harvesting, low impact design stormwater management, recycling of greywater and wastewater to planting of trees and shrubs and supporting biodiversity, sustainability will inform the development of Mangawhai as it grows. Mangawhai will meet the needs of the present without impacting on the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The future led thinking for this approach is a biosphere reserve. Every biosphere reserve shares 3 objectives: WHAT IS A BIOSPHERE RESERVE? · CONSERVATION - In terms of genetic resources, species and ecosystems · SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - Economic, environmental and human and cultural · LEARNING - Research, monitoring, environmental education and training. RE HE SP IO B ATMOSPHERE LITHOSPHERE BIOSPHERE ATMOSPHERE HYDROSPHERE LITHOSPHERE HYDROSPHERE The challenge is for Mangawhai to be the leading example of a biosphere in New Zealand. 5 SUSTAINABILITYSUSTAINABILITY -- BIOSPHEREBIOSPHERE CLARIFICATIONCLARIFICATION TheThe United United Nations Nations Educational, Educational, Scientific, Scientific, CulturalCultural OrganisatioOrganisationn (UNESCO) (UNESCO) is is a a world world recognisedrecognised global global organisation. organisation.

Mangawhai has a mix of permanent and non-permanent population, with approximately half the population being non-residents. This leads to different expectations on housing style and amenity leading to alternatives to past density models. Accommodating a mix of densities is part of supporting a rich and diverse community. Good design must underpin development, irrespective of density. Council can assist this through good design guidelines. Feedback from the community is that poor urban design in some recent subdivisions has contributed to a loss of character and amenity in Mangawhai. Examples referred to include poor pedestrian connections, inappropriate fencing, poor location of building platforms, garages, above-ground water tanks, large areas of concrete and removal of vegetation.

  • Highlights from Census 2013: Northland Data
    HIGHLIGHTS FROM CENSUS 2013: NORTHLAND DATA Dr Clair Mills, Medical Officer of Health Northland District Health Board February 2014 0 HIGHLIGHTS FROM NORTHLAND 2013 CENSUS DATA This report provides a provisional analysis of Census 2013 data for Northland region. Please note the methods used, as described in the endnote. Feedback on any errors or on interpretation of the data is welcome – please email to: [email protected] POPULATION CHANGES IN NORTHLAND (see population pyramid graphs and map annexed) 151,692 people were “usually resident” in Northland at the time of the Census 2013. This is a 3% increase overall in Northland since 2006 (a 0.43% average increase per annum), lower than the national average growth of 5.3% (0.7% p.a.) in the same period. However Kaipara District Council’s population has actually fallen by 0.2% since 2006, a loss of 111 people in real terms. Marked falls in population are also apparent in other areas, with declines to 2001 levels or below, including: Central Whangarei, Tikipunga, Otangarei and Raumanga in WDC Dargaville, Maungaturoto and coastal Kaipara in KDC North Hokianga, Kaitaia, Far North, Russell, Kawakawa, Moerewa and Kaikohe. Conversely there have been population increases in areas such as Three Mile Bush and Ruakaka in WDC, Mangawhai/Mangawhai Heads in KDC, and Kerikeri, Kapiro and parts of Taipa and Karikari in FNDC. 29.6% of the Northland population identifies as Māori – similar to the 29.3% in 2006. 52.2% of those claiming Māori descent in Northland affiliate to Ngapuhi. 3048 more people claim Māori ancestry than identify as Māori.
