LAND SUSTAINABILITY
The Wairoa District Council is actively engaged in supporting land owners and prospective agriculture and horticulture businesses to grow a deeper understanding of the potential of the land within our district to support various crops and activities . The Wairoa District Council has ( for example ) partnered with the University of Waikato and Landcare Research to investigate the potential for development of land throughout the district through a detailed resource assessment ( including GIS analysis , soil water balance assessment , climate and water resource analysis ).
The research will cover the whole district ( which has a landmass of 4,118 km2 ) and has a specific focus on identifying how flat land can be more productively used . With a mild climate and huge water resource the opportunities to invest , grow and prosper within the Te Wairoa area are hugely exciting .
The Wairoa District Council ’ s ‘ green carpet ’ facilitative approach , along with our strong focus on economic growth within the district – mean that you can be assured of comprehensive support in establishing or growing your business .
The overall objective of this study is to identify opportunities for investment in a range of crops that have potential for more intensive land use – leading to increased sustainable employment and prosperity for the region .
