Potential Ecosystem Vegetation (with relates)

The ecosystem classification used to map potential ecosystems of the Bay of Plenty Region was developed by the Department of Conservation, as a tool for prioritising ecosystem management ([Singers & Rogers 2014]). This classification is a synthesis that amalgamates previous classifications and ecological studies aligned to an abiotic framework. It describes a full range of ecosystem types at a variety of scales in a natural or potential state as they potentially existed if people arrived today in New Zealand. The classification system developed by Singers and Rogers (2014) has two tables that describe ecosystem drivers of the abiotic environment (Appendix 1) and biotic compositional description which further includes ecosystem distribution and relevant source references (Appendix 2). The data contained within these two tables have been used as the fundamental basis for mapping ecosystem types, supported by other readily available ecological descriptions, vegetation maps and relevant GIS layers such as soil maps of the region. Vegetation has been previously mapped for parts of the Bay of Plenty Region at a variety of scales and accuracy for multiple purposes. All of these examples have used various classification systems or methodologies for describing vegetation, some of which have a strong equivalency with Singers and Rogers (2014), while others less so. The process of creating the potential vegetation map was relatively straight forward in places where intact forest remains and have been described and mapped. In this situation, mapping involved identifying equivalencies, from one classification or vegetation type to the equivalent ecosystem unit of Singers and Rogers (2014). Mapping potential ecosystems in areas without indigenous vegetation used a variety of data sources to make informed decisions, and because of these assumptions should be seen as a working hypothesis. The related table (PotentialEcosystemDescription) was added and a relationship class was created to link this table to the relevant polygon. This table describes each ecosystem type. Descriptions are from [Potential Ecosystems BOP - Factsheets Final Draft (Singers and Lawerence 2014)] Reports: Singers and Lawrence 2014.

Road Noise Overlay

The Road Noise Overlay is identified on the Planning Maps and has some associated rules in the District Plan, related to development within this overlay. A social cost (health) of land transport noise exposure" research project was completed by AECOM in 2023. The Contours are the results of acoustic modelling. They represent the predicted LAeq (24 hour) noise level produced from road traffic, measured in decibels. They show grouped dB bands and are represented as shaded areas. The Taupō District Plan has been operative since 2007. Selected datasets from the Taupō District Plan have been made available for download to allow for better public access to the data underlying the plan. Note that some features mapped for district plan purposes may have changed over time.

Civil Defence - Region Boundaries

Civil Defence in the Bay of Plenty has a different boundary from the regional boundary due to the inclusion of the whole Rotorua District Council and the exclusion of the Taupo District Council. The Waikato civil defence boundary is also different to the regional boundary. The Waikato civil defence boundary was source from Waikato Regional Council in May 2014. This was combined with the Bay of Plenty civil defence boundary and with the 2012 regional boundaries for the rest of the country to create the full civil defnce boundaries for New Zealand.
Flood Protection and Drainage Bylaw

Polygon buffers around drains, canals, rivers, stopbanks (a defence against water) and floodways that are managed, or controlled by, Bay of Plenty Regional Council. The bylaw applicable areas vary in size depending on the specific water course and the relevant rules. The bylaw applicable areas are indicative only and should be viewed in conjunction with the [Flood Protection and Drainage Bylaws 2020.]The attributes show the feature (asset) being protected, the relevant section of the bylaws and the applicable distance.

Personal Water Craft Areas

The data was developed for the Bay of Plenty Regional Navigation Safety Bylaw 2010. (Shedule 3). Updated in 2016. Access Lane means an area designated as an access lane under clause 3.6 of the Bay of Plenty Regional Navigation Safety Bylaw 2010. Personal Water Craft (PWC)means a personal watercraft is a power driven vessel that has a fully enclosed hull and does not take on water if capsized and is designed to be operated by a person standing, sitting astride or kneeling on it, but not seated within it, and includes a jetski. Reserved Area means an area designated as a reserved area under clause 3.6 of the Bay of Plenty Regional Navigation Safety Bylaw 2010 that is reserved for a specific purpose. Shore: when referring to distance from shore, means distance from the water's edge.
Geothermal Surface Features

This dataset shows the locations of geothermal surface features (e.g. bubbling water, hot-water springs, geysers, mud pools) as captured initially in the BOPRC Geothermal Inventory Database and transferred in 2014 to the national database managed by GNS Science (https://ggw.gns.cri.nz/ggwdata). BOPRC maintain a regular monitoring program of specific geothermal surface features within the Rotorua and Waimangu fields.
Geothermal Vegetation Extent

To map current extents of geothermal vegetation and habitats in the Bay of Plenty Region. This was then used to map real losses of geothermal vegetation/habitats.

Dog_Control_Bylaw

Council has a Dog Control Policy that sets out its approach to the control and management of dogs in the Taupō District. We also have a bylaw that allows the policy to be enforced, e.g. issue fines. Taupō District Council’s Control of Dogs Bylaw 2021 sets out: * Areas where dogs are prohibited (First schedule) * Dog exercise areas (Second schedule). These are public places where dogs can be off leash (as long as they are still under control). This provides an area where dogs have the ability to exercise unrestrained and within a social setting. * In other public places, dogs must on a leash and under control at all times. Please see the [Dog Control Policy 2021 ]and the [Control of Dogs Bylaw 2021 ]for more information.

Priority Biodiversity Sites

Shared regional ecological priority sites – DOC/BOPRC Biodiversity Partnership. These priority sites were jointly developed by BOPRC and Department of Conservation to serve as a tool for prioritising proactive (non-regulatory) biodiversity management by BOPRC and DOC, with the aim of achieving the DOC/BOPRC shared goal of maintaining and/or restoring a full range of the Bay of Plenty's indigenous ecosystems to a healthy functioning state.
Regional Policy Statement

Prepared through Variation 1 to the BOP RPS in order to give effect to requirements of NZCPS2010. The Environment Bay of Plenty Regional Council is required under the Resource Management Act and the National Coastal Policy Statement, to define the landward edge of the coastal environment and the areas of high natural character within that environment. The base datasets used in this project were of varying accuracies and from a variety of sources, including the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, relevant Local Authorities, Government agencies and Boffa Miskell internal resources. Detailed information on the datasets obtained is included in the appendices. On evaluation of the spatial accuracies of the data available, the mapping scale chosen to undertake this project was 1:50,000. This scale is sufficient for a regional project, how the resulting lines depicting the Zone of Coastal Dominance and Zone of Coastal Influence should not be used at scales below this i.e. at property level.The coastal environment has been identified using the following criteria, to include:(a) The coastal marine area and islands within the coastal marine area;(b) Areas where coastal processes, influences or qualities are significant including coastal lakes, lagoon, tidal estuaries, salt marshes, coastal wetlands, and their margins;(c) Areas at risk from coastal hazards(e) Coastal vegetation and the habitat of indigenous coastal species including migratory birds(f) Elements and features that contribute to the natural character, landscape, visual qualities or amenity values;(g) Items of cultural and historic heritage in the coastal marine area or on the coastal;(h) Inter-related coastal marine and terrestrial systems, including the intertidal zone; and(i) Physical resources and built facilities, including infrastructure, that have modified the coastal environment.
Soils - BOPRC

Data compiled from a number of different sources including soil surveys dating back to the 1970's as well as surveys undertaken specifically for this dataset to complete coverage for the Bay of Plenty region. For more information please look the soil up on [https://smap.landcareresearch.co.nz] as this data has also been supplied here. Please note you will need to be a registered user to access the S-Map Online information.
Wetland

This is an amalgamated dataset of wetland surveys done at different times and by different organisations. Each survey has different attribute fields and where the attribute fields record the same information this may take different forms. This data layer has been created using aerial imagery, LiDAR elevation data, and existing wetland geospatial information. While it provides a useful indicator of where wetlands are likely to occur, on-the-ground verification is necessary to confirm wetland locations, define boundaries, and determine relevant rules under local plans and legislation. The dataset has taken the most common/useful attribute information from all the surveys but this means not all the wetland polygons will have information for all attribute fields. All polygons have a value for Original Layer and Original ID so the information can be tracked back to it originating survey.
Pest Management Plan Defined Area

The containment area for woolly nightshade is the entire Bay of Plenty region, except for the two small areassurrounding Tauranga shown in this layer. These areas represent the woolly nightshade core infestation,and the Section D (1) rule does not apply. For Egeria densa, lagarosiphon and hornwort control areas, Section D rules apply to these three aquatic plant pests in the lakes defined. For more information, check the Operative Regional Pest Management Plan on the Bay of Plenty Regional Council website.
Consent - Groundwater Allocation (Current and Under Appeal)

Created from water take consent data. Consists of groundwater takes only. Status in ('Current', 'Expired s.124', 'Under Appeal') Duplicate consents and consents without water volume information have been removed so consented water volumes by groundwater management zone can be summed correctly. Any records added during the day will not show in this dataset until the following day. ETL Name is ‘Consent - Groundwater Allocation’ and is set to run daily.
Consent  - Surface Water Allocation (Current and Under Appeal)

Created from water take consent data. Consists of surface water takes only. Status in ('Current', 'Expired s.124', 'Under Appeal') Duplicate consents and consents without water volume information have been removed so consented water volumes can be summed correctly. Any records added in during the day will not show in this dataset until the following day. ETL Name is ‘Consent - Surface Water Allocation’ and is set to run daily.
Freshwater Management Units (FMU)

Last updated: May 2024 Units mainly based on surface catchments and used for the purposes of manageing and reporting on freshwater topics. Created from surface drainage catchments with the boundaries then aligned to the REC 2.4 watersheds. Created initially for the purposes of the Regional Natural Resources Plan but is now used for multiple purposes. ETL Name is ‘Freshwater Management Units’. This is not set to run on a schedule as the data does not change often. If it does change please manually run the ETL job.
Groundwater Management Unit - Primary

Updated nightly. While this layer is a live layer and updated nightly, please note, once this data is downloaded it becomes static information. GMUs are generally mapped to follow surface water catchment boundaries and geological features (e.g., surface boundaries, fault lines). The region’s water demand distribution is also used to inform the size of the GMU, i.e., areas with higher water demand will be divided into smaller GMUs to more sustainably manage cumulative effects. Primary GMUs are identified across the whole region. Secondary (upper) GMUs are located above the Primary GMUs in a limited number of locations, based on the feasibility of productive groundwater bores being installed in both layers, current (or potential for) demand from both layers and the degree of hydraulic separation between the aquifers. The sustainable groundwater allocation availability is based on a simple water balance approach, guided by a conceptual understanding of regional hydrogeological and hydrological processes. A portion of the annual rainfall recharge to the groundwater system is set aside to maintain flows to springs and streams. The remaining groundwater volume was then allocated as 15% in coastal areas and 25% inland. The mass water balance for each groundwater catchment has been calculated by PDP. Details of the calculation methodology is provided in the report [Groundwater Allocation Limits for the Bay of Plenty Region]. ETL Name is ‘Groundwater Management Unit - Primary’ and is set to run daily. Field descriptions * Groundwater Unit Code: An identifying code for each groundwater management unit (GMU). * Groundwater Management Unit: Spatial area which is assigned a common groundwater sustainable yield for the purpose of groundwater allocation accounting. * Freshwater Management Unit: the freshwater management unit each GMU falls within. * Available Allocation (Mm3/y): the amount of water available to be allocated in million cubic metres per year (Mm3/y). * Allocated Groundwater (Mm3/y): that amount of water already allocated via consents in Mm3/y. * Allocation Remaining (Mm3/y): the amount of water still available to be allocated. Allocation Remaining (Mm3/y) = Available Allocation (Mm3/y) - Allocated Groundwater (Mm3/y). * Allocated Groundwater (%): the percentage of available allocation that has been allocated. * Allocation Status: a description of the allocation status based on Allocated Ground
