    December 27, 2017 NEWS RELEASE www.jogmec.go.jp Japan Oil Gas and Metals National Corporation Division in Charge: Planning and Finance Division TEL：+81-3-6758-8001 FAX:+81-3-6758-8087 PR in Charge: Public Relations Division TEL:+81-3-6758-8106 FAX:+81-3-6758-8008 Report of “JAPAN-NEW ZEALAND GEOTHERMAL WORKSHOP” Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), GNS Science International Limited (GNS Science) and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) held the “JAPAN - NEW ZEALAND GEOTHERMAL WORKSHOP” in Rotorua, New Zealand, on the 20th and 21st of November 2017. This was the second time for JOGMEC and GNS Science to host the event, and more than 100 people joined from New Zealand and Japan. The workshop covered the fields of geothermal development, hot springs and geysers, and the environment, for each of the countries; and 14 speakers ranging from geothermal developers, local governments, research institutes, and representatives from Maori and local community groups presented their achievements and experience of sustainable geothermal development. JOGMEC and GNS Science also organized a field trip, which included visiting geothermal power plants, showing direct and cascade usage of geothermal, and geysers. This workshop was based on the MOU signed the 16th of July 2015, between JOGMEC and GNS Science. The MOU contained cooperative bilateral relations in order to facilitate technical cooperation in the field of evaluation and mitigation of environmental impacts, the development of survey methodologies, improving methods for management, the sustainability of geothermal reservoirs, and promotion of public acceptance of geothermal developments. New Zealand has more than 6 decades of history of geothermal power generation, and plenty of geothermal resources, with double the geothermal power plant capacity of Japan - even though Japan has 50 years’ experience of geothermal power generation.

Current situation Hobart is a capital city experiencing moderate population growth. The city has a diversifying economic base and is centralising services and activity in the CBD core (health and education in particular). Greater Hobart has a larger geographic footprint than Manhattan but only 13 per cent of the population. The spread out (sub- urban) nature of the city at very low density makes providing quality mass transit expensive and uncompetitive in terms of travel time. It also means that the population is highly dependent on cars for meeting their daily travel needs. This car dependence has the potential to lead to social exclusion of people who do not have access to a vehicle, it reduces the productivity of the local economy (as high vehicle capital and operating costs are largely sent off-shore) and it makes the community vulnerable to potential economic shocks (such as petrol price rises). A Southern Tasmanian Regional Land Use Strategy has been developed to manage change, growth and development over the next 25 years.
