  • Chapter 1: Wairoa District Profile
    Part A – Chapter 1: Wairoa District Profile 1 WAIROA DISTRICT PROFILE 1.1 GENERAL 1.1.1 The Wairoa District is located in northern Hawke’s Bay and extends north from the Waikare River to its boundary with Gisborne District beyond Mahia Peninsula, and contains the Mohaka River Catchment, Lake Waikaremoana and much of Te Urewera National Park. 1.1.2 The District has a total area of about 4,118 square kilometres, including approximately 130km of coastline. It lies within the Hawke’s Bay Region and is bordered by Taupo District to the west, Whakatane District to the north-west, Gisborne District to the north, and Hastings District to the south. 1.2 POPULATION AND SETTLEMENT 1.2.1 The (usually resident) population of the Wairoa District in 1996 was 9,900. The District population has declined since 1971. Between 1991 and 1996, the population has declined by 2.2% (compared to the population growth for New Zealand as a whole, of 7.2%). 1.2.2 At the 1996 Census: • 14.2% of the people in the Wairoa District were aged over 60 compared to the national average of 15.4%. • The proportion of preschool-age children living in the Wairoa District was 9.8% compared with 7.7% for all of New Zealand. • 57.8% of the population considered themselves to belong to the Maori ethnic group compared with all of New Zealand at 15.1%. This has increased significantly since 1991 when 45% of the District’s population considered themselves to be Maori. 1.2.3 Wairoa is the main settlement.
