  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

  • The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland
    New Zealand Population Review, 35:55-74. Copyright © 2009 Population Association of New Zealand The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland WARDLOW FRIESEN * Abstract The inner city of Auckland, comprising the inner suburbs and the Central Business District (CBD) has undergone a process of reurbanisation in recent years. Following suburbanisation, redevelopment and motorway construction after World War II, the population of the inner city declined significantly. From the 1970s onwards some inner city suburbs started to become gentrified and while this did not result in much population increase, it did change the characteristics of inner city populations. However, global and local forces converged in the 1990s to trigger a rapid repopulation of the CBD through the development of apartments, resulting in a great increase in population numbers and in new populations of local and international students as well as central city workers and others. he transformation of Central Auckland since the mid-twentieth century has taken a number of forms. The suburbs encircling the TCentral Business District (CBD) have seen overall population decline resulting from suburbanisation, as well as changing demographic and ethnic characteristics resulting from a range of factors, and some areas have been transformed into desirable, even elite, neighbourhoods. Towards the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty first century, a related but distinctive transformation has taken place in the CBD, with the rapid construction of commercial and residential buildings and a residential population growth rate of 1000 percent over a fifteen year period. While there are a number of local government and real estate reports on this phenomenon, there has been relatively little academic attention to its nature * School of Environment, The University of Auckland.

  • City Fringe Retail Assessment
    Auckland City Fringe Retail Assessment Prepared for: Waitematā Local Board 30th June, 2016 9/27/2016 1 INTRODUCTION While the Auckland CBD is a popular retail, hospitality, and tourism destination, there are also several strong offerings in the ‘City Fringe’ – the business districts directly neighbouring the CBD. These districts are namely Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby, and Uptown. With their proximity to the CBD, the City Fringe districts are ideally situated to interact with a large segment of Auckland’s population, and leverage the strong retail trends seen lately in Auckland City. The Waitematā Local Board has commissioned Marketview to assist in developing programmes that will attract retailers and customers to invest in the City Fringe. The purpose of this report is to identify market trends and behaviours in the City Fringe, compare these trends to those observed in the rest of Auckland and NZ to identify any gaps, examine the core customers of the City Fringe and their shopping habits, and identify the potential opportunities for the City Fringe. To analysis is broken into three parts, respectively aiming to identify: • What are the gaps in the City Fringe offering? • Who are the customers of the City Fringe? • What are the opportunities for the City Fringe? DISCLAIMER While every effort has been made in the production of this report, the Bank of New Zealand, Paymark and Marketview Limited are not responsible for the results of any actions taken on the basis of the information in this report and expressly disclaim any liability to any person for anything done or omitted to be done by any such person in reliance on the contents of this report and any losses suffered by any person whether direct or indirect, including loss of profits.
