As water demand increases in the Bay of Plenty we can expect that the need for robust science on groundwater will also increase. In anticipation of this a review and reassessment of the groundwater monitoring programme was undertaken during 2009. The key outcome of this review is that more groundwater monitoring sites are needed across the region. This report summarises the recommended monitoring and gives indicative installation costs over the next three years. 1 Recommendations That the Regulation Monitoring & Operations Committee under its delegated authority: 1 Receives the report, Improving the Groundwater Monitoring Network. 2 Confirms that the significance of the decision has been assessed as LOW, and under Section 79 of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) confirms that in light of the level of significance of the decision it does not require: (a) Further identification and assessment of different options under section 77 LGA; (b) Further investigation or consideration of community views under section 78 LGA; (c) Any further written record of the manner in which section 77 and section 78 matters have been addressed. 2 Introduction Under the current Statement of Proposal for Section 36 Charges Council has proposed to increase the Regional Monitoring/Impact charges for holders of consents to take water. It is envisaged that this additional funding would be used to improve our monitoring of groundwater and groundwater recharge. This report summarises the monitoring improvements that are proposed over the next three years. 3 Groundwater monitoring 3.1 Overview The ability to monitor pressure (or water level) and water quality changes over time is fundamental to managing and understanding groundwater systems. This data along 11 A445458 Improving the Groundwater Monitoring Network with information on rainfall recharge rates helps us to improve the science on groundwater allocation by; • refining the existing groundwater models, • improving mass water balance calculations, and • determining aquifer properties

  • 1. Kerosene Creek 2. Wairua Stream
    1. Kerosene Creek First on our list of hot pools in Rotorua is the world-famous Kerosene Creek. 35 minutes from Rotorua and down a gravel road will take you to the thermal pool and waterfall at Kerosene Creek. The creek is popular not just for its geothermal activity but its beautiful surroundings. Location: 28km south of Rotorua. Take State Highway 5, then travel about 2km down Old Waiotapu Road. 2. Wairua Stream Wairua Stream is a bit harder to get to as you have to get a boat across Lake Tarawera, making it a local’s paradise. It is near Te Rata Bay and is one of the most picturesque hot pools near Rotorua. Location: About 25 minutes out of Rotorua down Spencer Road, Lake Tarawera. By boat, launch at Stoney Point and head straight across Lake Tarawera to the headlands on the right of Mt Tarawera. Go straight through these headlands to where the lake opens. Steer gently to starboard and make for the only beach in this area. 3. Wai-o-Tapu / The Bridge / The Secret Spot When it comes to Rotorua hot pools, it does not get more popular thank this one. Funnily enough, it is supposed to be a secret. Get the remnants from the Wai-O-Tapu geothermal attraction by bathing in the hot pool formed by the hot Wai-O-Tapu stream meeting the cool river. It’s a thermal pool, completely natural and completely free! Location: Just outside the Wai-O-Tapu geothermal park (under the bridge). 30km south of Rotorua just off State Highway 5.

  • December 1997
    DECEMBER 1997 Kia Ora Greetings from the Lake With the end of another year fast approaching, it is time to provide an update on activities and occurences since our June Newsletter. As Local Government bodies continue to take on greater responsibilities the result is closer consultation with communities and individuals. This reflects a growing awareness of how co-ordinated efforts can develop and expand initiatives. Our pro-active participation in this arena, whilst creating extra workloads, means that we remain to the forefront in our aim to represent the interests and aspirations of all who live within the Lake Rotoiti catchment along with those who visit the area for recreation and pleasure. There is a growing need to ensure that an ecological balance is maintained in the face of ever increasing pressures on the lakes and their environs. It is essential that community organisations such as ourselves continue to seek appropriate decisions and solutions in meeting the demands of progress whilst promoting fundamental improvements to our own quality of life. Again, we extend thanks to our sponsors and advertisers along with the many of you who subscribed to the Association. Your ongoing support will enhance our ability to pursue the many issues of importance which affect our localities. We trust that you find this Newsletter of interest and wish each and everyone of you a very merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.
