High land value areas are those that are the most desirable; land values rise because they hold greater amenity. Areas with high existing land values tended to receive less new housing capacity through the Unitary Plan process. This relative shortage of new capacity in high value areas meant that the few properties that were upzoned in those areas received higher property value increases.

Land can be defined as brownfield or greenfield. Brownfield development occurs on land that has already been developed and therefore has existing infrastructure. Greenfield construction is done on land that has not been previously developed, usually further from the CBD.

To acknowledge the milestone of ten years, we have compiled our list of what we consider the ten important social trends of the past ten years. We suggest that these trends could help inform a new conversation we should have as New Zealanders around the social progress we value and, from this, the society we would like to create.

Background Te Tiriti o Waitangi (“Te Tiriti”) Audit (“the audit”) directly supports the second aspect of the Independent Māori Statutory Board’s (“IMSB”) purpose as it assesses the performance of the Auckland Council Group (herein referred to as “the Council” and including the Governing Body, Auckland Council organisation, Local Boards and CCOs) in acting in accordance with statutory references to Te Tiriti and statutory responsibilities to Māori Tāmaki Makaurau. More detail on role and purpose of the IMSB and the audit is in Appendix A. The scope of any audit is a matter for the IMSB to determine, the major driver being a consideration of those legislative requirements or statutory references that, if not complied with, would have high negative impact to Māori including those where there is increased likelihood of non-compliance or gaps in existing organisational processes.

Since 2008, the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), coordinated by the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), has conducted the Survey of Adult Skills (‘the survey’) in 32 countries. The survey measures a range of skills and competencies, namely literacy, numeracy and problem solving in technology-rich environments, that are regarded as necessary for working-age adults (16 to 65 years) to be able to fully integrate and participate in the labour market, education and training, and their social and civic life. The survey was undertaken in New Zealand in 2014.

Soil moisture is a fundamental part of the hydrological cycle, linking hydrological, biological and biochemical processes. Information on soil moisture status is of interest to farmers because soil water balances are important for irrigation, effluent application, drainage, livestock grazing management, seed sowing and agronomy. The information is also important to climate scientists and hydrologists for climate projections as well as flood warning and drought modelling and monitoring.
