  • Tairāwhiti 2050 Shaping the Future of Our Region
    Te Kaunihera o Te Tairāwhiti Gisborne District Council TAIRĀWHITI 2050 SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR REGION TAIRĀWHITI REGIONAL SPATIAL PLAN Adopted by Gisborne District Council 2020 MŌ TĒNEI MĀHERE ABOUT THIS PLAN WHAT IS TAIRĀWHITI 2050 Tairāwhiti 2050 is Gisborne District Council’s vision for the region for the next 30 years. We call this our “spatial plan”, which is a document that: • states our region’s major challenges and how we’ll tackle them. • outlines our shared aspirations for our region’s future wellbeing and what we expect to achieve by 2050. • aligns the strategies and plans of Council, government agencies and other organisations to enable collaboration. • sets direction for regional planning and development, decision-making and investments. • maps out where critical infrastructure, transport connections and development will occur and where there are constraints. WHY WE NEED A SPATIAL PLAN The challenges and opportunities facing those who call Tairāwhiti home are complex and interconnected. How we as a community, plan and respond over the next 30 years will make a significant difference to future generations. Tairāwhiti does not have a stand-alone document that provides a clear and shared vision about what we want our region to look like in the future. Tairāwhiti 2050 therefore considers the current economic, social, environmental, physical and cultural trends so that integrated solutions are found to address the various challenges and opportunities for growth and change. No single organisation can respond alone, so region-wide collaboration is required. Together with communities and agencies we’ve created this plan to provide strategic direction in a way that considers social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing.

    Dog Policy 2010 Prepared pursuant to Section 10 of the Dog Control Act. Introduction Our objective Our policy Appendices Introduction This policy on dogs is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Dog Control Act 1996 (‘the Act’) and came into force on 2010. This policy aims to give effect to the Act by protecting the health and safety of the public whilst ensuring the well-being and welfare of dogs is protected through responsible ownership. The community expects dog owners to act as responsible owners. It is recognised that many in the community believe dogs can play a positive role in society and provide enjoyment for individuals and families. This policy seeks to balance those two expectations. Objective of this Policy The overriding objective of this policy is to encourage responsible dog ownership and community awareness to promote an environment where dogs and people can happily and peacefully co-exist. In order to meet this objective, dog owners must: 1. register their dog/s at three months of age and every year after; 2. provide for the health and well being of their dog; 3. keep their dogs under control when in a public place, particularly in and near places frequented by children; 4. ensure their dog doesn’t cause a nuisance to neighbours and other people by persistent and loud barking or howling; 5. keep their dog under direct control or confined on their property so it doesn’t wander or become lost; 6. pick up any faeces left by their dog in public places or on land not occupied by the dog owner; 7.

BeefGen director Patrick Lane says the Government has to reconsider the move in the interests of the national and regional economies. Live cattle exports from New Zealand will be banned from some time in 2023. BeefGen, which has its offices and live embryo and semen export facility in Glenroy Road at Whangara, has sent two live cattle shipments to China so far. The first shipment was in April last year during the Covid-19 lockdown when 3665 head were sent to China. Two animals died on the voyage. The second shipment of 3995 head went in January and no animals died. “We have our next shipment of 4100 head set to go in July and we are lining up a fourth shipment of 5700 for early September,” Mr Lane said. “The cattle have come from all around New Zealand, but in the second shipment, 1133 of the cattle came from this district. “Those Gisborne cattle were worth $1.387 million to the region’s farmers.” The live export trade from New Zealand to China was worth $500 million last year.
