Worldwide, improved water and sanitation has been a focus of large international orgainisations and improvements have been made, yet 663 million people rely on unimproved sources of water, including 159 million who depend only on surface water8. EDUCATION FOR Water collection areas in Hamilton City, SUSTAINABILITY Waikato and Waipa regions For each of our districts, the pipe network receives water from different places CONCEPTS and distributes it to our taps. Interdependence/ • Hamilton City Council - 100 % from the Waikato River. Whanaungatanga: • Waikato District Council - 75% from the Waikato River. The remaining Everything and everyone quarter (25%) comes from springs (Raglan and Onewhero), a bore in our world is connected (Te Akau), Maraetai stream (Port Waikato) and a piped connection to Auckland’s southern water supply (Tuakau and Pokeno). Equity: respect for all life, social justice, • Waipa District Council - 37% from Mangauika Stream (Te Awamutu and Pirongia), 6% from two bores (Kihikihi) 35% from springs (rural supply and intergenerational equity, Cambridge), 22% from the Waikato River (Cambridge, Pukerimu, Ohaupo finite resources and Airport). Water supply to different suburbs Usually, water collected in certain areas is supplied to certain suburbs or towns. However, where possible our water supply system is flexible. Sometimes water from one area can be supplied to another nearby area if needed. This generally happens when maintenance is being carried out on the pipe network. 8 World Health Organisation. n.d.

This is in the lower reaches of the Waikato River, which starts at Lake Taupo, with predominantly farming activity in the catchment, even though the intake is an urban area. From the Water Treatment Plant it is distributed to eight reservoirs around the city that provides a source of gravity to assist water pressure into neighbourhoods and helps with the supply of water during periods of high water demand. Waipa’s Water Collection Areas The Te Awamutu Water Collection Area The supply is taken from the Mangauika Stream on Mount Pirongia which is a catchment covered in native bush (Pirongia State Forest Park). There is a weir (small dam) in the stream that raises the level of the water. A proportion of the water from the stream is diverted into an intake pipe below the weir. Waipa District Council has a resource consent for this intake. It covers the maximum abstraction flow (the maximum amount of water allowed to be taken) and a minimum flow rate for the stream (after abstraction) to protect fisheries and aquatic habitat values. From the weir, the water is piped to a large storage dam then onto the Te Tahi Water Treatment Plant and distributed to Pirongia, Te Awamutu and the surrounding properties. Water is stored in two concrete water supply reservoirs in Te Awamutu located on Frontier Road and Taylors Hill. 47 The Kihikihi Water Collection Area RESOUrCES The supply is taken from the Waikato local aquifer and is sourced by two bores “Waipa’s Bulk Water in the center of town (Hall Street and Church Street). From the bores, the water Supply Network” poster is piped to the Rolleston Street Water Treatment Plant and distributed to Kihikihi township and surrounding properties. Water is stored at the Water Treatment “Waipa’s Water Source” Plant in two (steel and concrete) reservoirs. poster The Cambridge, Leamington and Karapiro Water Collection Areas Serviced by three sources: • Hicks Road Springs • Lake Karapiro • Waikato River (from below the Karapiro dam). Hicks Road Springs The supply is taken from two separate springs that are quite close together in bush gullies on the lower slopes of Mount Maungatautari. Each spring is fenced off and covered with a corrugated iron building to increase security of the water source. Each spring is tapped by a gravity fed draw off point with the water being diverted into an intake pipe. From the springs, the water is piped to the Hicks Road Water Treatment Plant and is stored in the Karapiro reservoirs above Maungatautari Road. The water is distributed to Cambridge and the surrounding rural properties. Lake Karapiro The intake is located on the banks of Lake Karapiro which was formed by damming the Waikato River. The intake is at the southern end by the dam. The Water Treatment Plant is right beside the lake (5.8 km south-east from Cambridge town center). From the intake, the water is piped to the Karapiro Water Treatment Plant and then pumped to the Karapiro township, surrounding properties. Water is stored in the Karapiro reservoirs above Maungatautari Road and in other reservoirs in Cambridge North and Hautapu. Waikato River (two intakes, one at Alpha Street and one at Pukerimu Lane) The intakes are located on the banks of the Waikato River, downstream of Cambridge.

  • Te Awa Lakes: Housing Economics
    5 April 2018 Attn: Paul Radich Development Planner, Te Awa Lakes Development Perry Group Via email: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Te Awa Lakes: Housing Economics Dear Paul, This letter aims to provide ongoing assessment in relation to demand for Qualifying Developments, and also comments on local demand for residential housing in the proposed Te Awa Lakes Special Housing Area. Updating RCG’s Housing Commentary We summarise the key points from RCG’s Assessment of Economic Effects report for Te Awa Lakes below. 1 We have updated these points with more recent data where available: • Net migration into New Zealand remains at near-record levels of around 70,000 a year. • Auckland is still not keeping pace with its own housing shortage, i.e. ‘supply’ of new homes is not matching ‘demand’ from population growth. • Auckland is likely to keep losing people to neighbouring regions such as the Waikato, especially when there is housing pressure (as is currently the case). • Auckland’s house price boom began in 2012 and spread to Hamilton by 2015. In both cities, and most other parts of New Zealand, prices have flattened out in 2017-18. • The average house value in Hamilton is now $548,000, compared with $363,000 four years ago. 2 • Building consents in Hamilton, Waikato and Waipa remain at near-record levels, but have plateaued. 1 http://www.hamilton.govt.nz/our-council/council- publications/districtplans/ODP/Documents/Te%20Awa%20Lakes%20Private%20Plan%20Chan ge/Appendix_6_Assessment_of_Economic_Effects.PDF 2 Data from https://www.qv.co.nz/property-trends/residential-house-values , for Feb 2018 compared with Feb 2014 RCG | CONSTRUCTIVE THINKING.

  • Historic Overview - Pokeno & District
    WDC District Plan Review – Built Heritage Assessment Historic Overview - Pokeno & District Pokeno The fertile valley floor in the vicinity of Pokeno has most likely been occupied by Maori since the earliest days of their settlement of Aotearoa. Pokeno is geographically close to the Tamaki isthmus, the lower Waikato River and the Hauraki Plains, all areas densely occupied by Maori in pre-European times. Traditionally, iwi of Waikato have claimed ownership of the area. Prior to and following 1840, that iwi was Ngati Tamaoho, including the hapu of Te Akitai and Te Uri-a-Tapa. The town’s name derives from the Maori village of Pokino located north of the present town centre, which ceased to exist on the eve of General Cameron’s invasion of the Waikato in July 1863. In the early 1820s the area was repeatedly swept by Nga Puhi war parties under Hongi Hika, the first of several forces to move through the area during the inter-tribal wars of the 1820s and 1830s. It is likely that the hapu of Pokeno joined Ngati Tamaoho war parties that travelled north to attack Nga Puhi and other tribes.1 In 1822 Hongi Hika and a force of around 3000 warriors, many armed with muskets, made an epic journey south from the Bay of Islands into the Waikato. The journey involved the portage of large war waka across the Tamaki isthmus and between the Waiuku River and the headwaters of the Awaroa and hence into the Waikato River west of Pokeno. It is likely warriors from the Pokeno area were among Waikato people who felled large trees across the Awaroa River to slow Hika’s progress.
