    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.

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.
