Land Drainage
What is the Land Drainage activity and why is
the Council involved?
Land Drainage and Flood Protection and Control activities both work towards achieving the same goals in
terms of retaining the productive capability of the land, therefore these activities have been incorporated
into one Group of Activities called Land Drainage. The Council also believes that Land Drainage is the
most easily understood name for this activity for those who are affected. The legislative requirement for
the Flood Protection and Control Works activities is set out in section 2 of the 10 schedule of the Local
Government Act, 2002. Land Drainage is a particularly significant activity for Hauraki District Council,
more so than for most other local authorities in New Zealand. The Council has Land Drainage standing
committees that have representatives from both the Council and users that advise the Council on land
drainage and flood protection and control measures.
Land drainage and flood protection and control are key functions of the Council’s operation, as a
considerable portion of the northern Hauraki Plains lies at or below the normal high tide level in the Firth
of Thames. The remainder of the land on the Hauraki Plains is only slightly above this level, so protection
against high water tables, extreme weather events, high tides and river floods is essential to the
continuing occupation and use of the land for residential, agricultural and horticultural purposes.
Flood Protection
The majority of the Flood Protection activity in the Hauraki District is provided by the river schemes of the
Waikato Regional Council, except in the northwest part of the District (Waitakaruru to Miranda) where it is
provided by Hauraki District Council. The assets that provide direct protection from river and tidal flooding
include stopbanks, floodgates and pump stations, and are referred to as primary flood protection assets.
Land Drainage
Land drainage assets collect runoff from the catchment areas of the District and convey it to the primary
flood protection assets which discharge it direct to river or sea outlets. In addition to the drainage network,
land drainage assets can include stopbanks, floodgates and pumps. The latter drainage assets perform a
land drainage function, e.g. pumping from a minor drain into a major drain; they do not provide direct
protection from river and tidal flooding, and are referred to as secondary protection assets.
These services are provided by the Council in three Drainage Districts:
 The Western Plains Drainage District which lies between the Piako River and State Highway 27, from
the Firth of Thames to the District boundary with Matamata-Piako District Council.
 The Eastern Plains Drainage District which lies between the Piako River and the Waihou River, from
the Firth of Thames to the District boundary with Matamata-Piako District Council.
 The Paeroa Rural Drainage District which comprises three smaller former drainage districts east of
the Waihou River. The former districts were the Komata North, Opukeko and Tirohia Rotokohu
drainage districts.
The Land Drainage activity provides protection in a sustainable manner, through achieving a high degree
of public safety and effective protection of property, farmland and roads by draining excess surface water
and managing ground water levels. The Land Drainage activity delivers services which the community
needs to function productively and comfortably on a day to day basis, which meet high community health
and safety standards, and which promote continuing productive use of the land.
Land Drainage
There is a community demand for Land Drainage services, and also an expectation that sustainable
management of the environment will be a key driver in the design and management of the systems.
How does the Council provide this activity?
The Council carries out the Land Drainage activity by maintaining drains, canals, control structures,
floodgates, flood pumps, culverts and stopbanks. Maintenance of the drains ensures that effective
performance of the drainage system in removing surface runoff can be relied upon in order to meet the
agreed level of service. Council drains are maintained by a combination of spraying and machine
cleaning programmes, conducted by the Council’s Construction and Maintenance business unit.
Each drainage district has its own advisory committee of members elected to represent ratepayers
specifically on drainage matters in their area. The Western Plains Drainage Committee also has
responsibility for the management of the flood protection aspect of the activity. The drainage advisory
committees report directly to the Council. The drainage committees establish levels of service with the
Council and the community and recommend the annual or on-going works programme. The Council then
sets the rates to be collected on their behalf to fund these works.
The Council currently owns and maintains:
 The land drainage schemes which have a replacement value of approximately $15.6m (excluding
land value). Overall there are 646 km of drains1, 49km of stopbanks, 92 floodgates and control gates,
and 4 pump stations.
 The Flood Protection schemes have a replacement value of $7.4m (excluding land value). Overall
there are 37.7km of stopbanks and 16 floodgates, and one pump station.
In November 2010 Kaiaua area was incorporated into the Hauraki District. One small land drainage
district (Taramaire Drainage District) was transferred to Hauraki District Council. This drainage district is
essentially locally managed, but administrative support is provided by the Council.

How does this activity promote sustainability?
The focus of the Land Drainage activity is sustainable protection of high quality agricultural and
horticultural land, and infrastructural services, to ensure on-going social and economic well-being for
future generations. It also endeavours to support sustainable principles by mitigating adverse effects from
these activities, and promoting a balanced set of well-beings including consideration of environmental,
social, cultural and economic benefits in decision making processes. Some ways in which the activity acts
sustainably are:
 Improved education to residents and ratepayers on sustainability and how the Council can help
protect the resources of the District.
 Provision of land drainage, enabling the Plains to be farmed in a manner which provides both for
today’s generation and future generations.
 Control of foreshore and stream stopbanks around Waitakaruru and Miranda. By protecting the area
from the tide the Council performs a sustainable practice, as it enables continued habitation, farming
practices and operation of tourist facilities.

What does this mean?
The Land Drainage and Flood Protection Group
generally has positive effects on the four aspects of
community well-being. This Group of Activities
enables farming to continue on the Hauraki Plains.
Farming is arguably a cultural tradition and has
significant economic benefits, both locally and
nationally. This Group of Activities does have a
significant negative effect on environmental wellbeing, including the loss of natural habitat.
However, this negative effect is balanced by the
positive effects on well-being.
For a further explanation of the criteria and how to
use the sustainability tuner please see Appendix 7.
External issues that affect Land Drainage
The capital and renewal works for Land Drainage can be influenced by a number of factors outside the
control of the Council. These factors include obtaining resource consents, tender prices, weather
conditions, natural disasters, climate change, changes in community expectations and legislative
requirements including the Waikato Regional Plan. Capital Works programmes show specific years for
undertaking the work, but actual timing may vary as a result of any of the above factors.
Climate change and what it means for the Hauraki District
Climate change remains a topical issue at an international, national and local scale. The gradual warming
of the earth’s surface is associated with polar ice and glacial retreat, more frequent and intense storms,
droughts and a rise in sea level.
Whilst it is believed that the Hauraki District is unlikely to see any extensive changes in temperature or
rainfall averages in the near future, extreme weather events may increasingly affect the District. An
increase in the frequency of flooding and/or droughts, increased risk of tidal surges due to sea-level rise,
and an increased risk of infestation of invasive flora species are some of the potential outcomes of
climate change for this District which could have an effect on the Land Drainage activity.
Although the extent of the effects of climate change are still being debated, the Central Government has
given local government clear direction (through the Resource Management Act, 1991 and the Local
Government Act, 2002) to plan for the effects of climate change. As a result the Council sought
community feedback on a range of climate change policy scenarios during the development process of its
Hauraki Community Plan 2009-19.
The consultation and submission process helped to guide the Council with its decision making regarding
climate change and how best to approach its potential effects on this District.
Hauraki District Council’s current response to climate change
The Council calculated a series of projections to help it plan for possible changes in temperature, rainfall,
rainfall intensity and sea level rise. Based on guidance from the Ministry for the Environment and the
feedback given by the community, the Council adopted a midline approach for climate change
projections. The table below lists the projections adopted by the Council in 2009.
141
142
2012-22 Hauraki Long-Term Plan – Volume 1 of 2
Projections for the next 100 years
Temperature
Temperature will be likely to rise by 2.1°C as a mean average.
Rainfall
There will likely be a decreased annual rainfall of
 Plains: - 10mm
 Waihi: -30mm
 Paeroa: -10mm
Rainfall intensity
Increase in rainfall intensity of up to 20%
Sea level rise
Sea levels will be likely to rise by 0.5m.
Please note that these projections are subject to change and will be updated as further research is
released by the appropriate national and international organisations.
These mid-line projections guide the Council’s decision making regarding setting standards for the design
and construction of stormwater systems, land drainage and flood protection and control works. For
example with the projected increase in rainfall intensity, the Council must ensure that stormwater and
land drainage assets are designed and constructed to be capable of moving this increased amount of
water during each event through its stormwater and land drainage systems to the receiving point. The
Council has amended its design criteria to allow for this predicted increase in intensity. In the future the
Council may also need to increase its flood pump capacity to move increased levels of water into the
protected river systems.
The Western Plains Drainage District made a submission to the Council’s Draft Hauraki Long Term Plan
seeking the inclusion of an investigation regarding the appropriate level of service for the foreshore
stopbanks. This investigation will be undertaken in 2012/13 and any works arising from this investigation
will be detailed in the Draft 2013/14 Annual Plan and will be part of the Draft Annual Plan consultation
process.
Asset Valuations and Depreciation
The Council re-values its assets every three years to assess total network values and to recalculate
depreciation based on those new values. Depreciation (the wearing out of an asset) is an operating
expense which is required to be funded through rates.
Some significant changes in Land Drainage asset valuations have resulted from the 2011 revaluation, for
the following reasons:
 The total length of stopbanks valued has reduced from the 95.6 km figure used in the 2008 valuation
to 86.2 km for the current valuation (resulting from improved accuracy of measurement), reducing
stopbank asset value by 10%.
 Cost increases in replacing floodgate and pump station assets over the three years between
revaluations.
The annual depreciation amount for Land Drainage has decreased by 27%. Predominant reasons for the
reduction are:
 Provision of an allowance for capital renewal works expenditure every 20 years on average for
stopbanks has been taken into account.
 The expected lives for floodgates have been increased.

Description and Objective
Land Drainage Asset
Management Plan
An Asset Management Plan is in place and was reviewed and updated in
preparation for this 2012-22 Hauraki Long Term Plan.
The Land Drainage Asset Management Plan details the systems in place for
managing, monitoring and reporting on the performance of assets. The plan
itemises and categorises assets and details the maintenance, renewal and
capital expenditure programs over a 10 year period. It also identifies levels of
service, the supporting asset performance measurement issues, and defines
areas where further information is required. It addresses the lifecycle of the
asset, the demands on the asset, the risks to the asset and how these risks will
be mitigated. It is reviewed on an on-going basis to ensure that a sustainable
development approach is taken, and that planning is as fully integrated as
possible.
Operative District Plan and
Proposed District Plan
Provides a framework for the sustainable management of the natural and
physical environment, and assists the Council to carry out its functions in order to
achieve the purpose of the Resource Management Act, 1991.
Hauraki District Council
Consolidated Bylaw
Provides laws applicable only to Hauraki District that in general protect the public
from nuisance; protect, promote and maintain public health and safety; and
minimise the potential for offensive behaviour in public places.
Demand Management
The Council’s drainage systems are nearly fully developed and are currently on a programme of
maintenance and renewal. The majority of capital works are therefore focussed on programmed
renewals. Development of land in the District for agricultural purposes has now been largely completed.
As the Land Drainage activity is essentially area based, the future demand on the Council’s system of
canals, drains, stopbanks and flood control structures, as a result of population changes is expected to be
very limited.
Increased drainage pumping capacity may be needed in time to counteract the possible impact of climate
change and rising sea level, in addition to that needed to counteract the lowering ground levels on the
peat soils of the Hauraki Plains.
While there is unlikely to be any major drainage development in the foreseeable future, there will be small
additions from time to time to the drainage network. The cost of these additions will be met by the
beneficiaries of the additions. Provided that a number of conditions are met, the completed drain addition
will be added to the network.
The Council is aware that the predicted impacts of climate change could have significant effects on the
foreshore and lower river stopbank requirements for the Regional Council’s river schemes. This may lead
to the need for additional flood control measures and structures in the drainage districts. Given the
relationship between the river schemes and the drainage districts, the Council will work closely with
Waikato Regional Council to develop appropriate responses over the life of this Plan to mitigate the
possible consequences of climate change. As well as addressing structural issues, funding issues will
also need to be considered if additional works or assets are required. This could impact on the land
drainage rates for users in the future in the land drainage areas.

Effect on well-being
The impact of land drainage and flood protection services and activities on well-being is generally
positive, as they contribute to preservation and protection of the land’s farming capacity, in turn creating a
financially and socially healthy environment in which communities can thrive. Negative impacts have
historically included changes to natural replenishing and draining systems of the land which can result in
loss of habitat and flora and fauna.
Collaborative Projects
Relationship with Waikato Regional Council
Most of the Council’s drainage districts lie within the catchments covered by the Piako River
or the Waihou Valley Schemes operated by the Waikato Regional Council. The maintenance
of these schemes’ foreshore and river stopbanks and associated structures (such as the
floodgates and pump stations), which provide the outlets for the Council’s drainage districts,
is the responsibility of Waikato Regional Council. The Council’s flood protection and control
works lie outside the area of the river schemes.
The Hauraki Plains drainage areas are entirely dependent on the continuing operation of the Regional
Council’s river scheme assets, both for protection from tidal and river flooding, and for the means of
discharging runoff through the primary floodgated outlets and pumps. The scheme assets (stopbanks,
floodgates and pumps) are owned by the Waikato Regional Council, which has the responsibility for
provision, maintenance, and depreciation funding of the assets. Waikato Regional Council also funds the
power company’s network charges to their pumps. Hauraki District Council has responsibility for the
drainage networks, the weed clearing maintenance of the pump screens, and the funding of the energy
component of the power company’s charges.
The urban areas of Ngatea, Kerepehi, Turua and Paeroa all discharge to the Waihou or Piako Rivers via
Waikato Regional Council floodgates and pump stations. In the Plains towns, the main drainage outlet
channels also convey runoff from upstream rural catchments. The maintenance of these channels is the
responsibility of the appropriate drainage committee. In Paeroa, the primary urban drainage channel is
the Hape Stream (Paeroa Main Drain) which is maintained under the urban stormwater budget. This
channel also conveys upstream rural catchment runoff.
Land Drainage
There is a close co-operative relationship between the two organisations. The Council appoints a
representative to the Waikato Regional Council Waihou-Piako Zone Liaison Sub-committee. There are
also additional local community representatives, often from the Hauraki District, that are appointed to the
zone sub-committee. Staff of both Councils share the routine monitoring, inspection and minor
maintenance of the pump stations. In times of flood events there is also a close co-operative relationship
between Councils’ staff and contractors to provide the level of service delivery.

Possible impacts on Levels of Service
Throughout the 2012-22 Hauraki Long Term Plan, considerable effort has been made to ensure the levels
of service are as concise as possible, however due to the nature of Local Government, in some cases
there may be unforeseen circumstances that may impact on these service levels.

The Council will be undertaking a user satisfaction survey in 2012/13 to
establish base lines for user satisfaction with the provision of Council
services. It is possible that the user satisfaction targets set in this Plan will
need to change as a result of the survey. The method for the survey
programmed is similar to previous surveys, however it will now target users
of services rather than all residents and ratepayers. The estimated targets in
this Plan have been predominantly based on external survey techniques
used for similar sized Councils however, the Council is unsure at this stage
how appropriate these estimated targets are to Hauraki District.
Lowering of ground levels on the peat soils of the Hauraki Plains may result
in the need for additional pumping capacity.
Increased environmental awareness surrounding the water quality
discharged into the drainage and river systems may lead to changes in the
standards applied to drain management. Particular concerns that may
require attention are:
The protection of water quality in drains/stream from contaminants that
may be carried by urban stormwater (e.g. silt, hydrocarbons, untreated
sewage, heavy metals) or stormwater runoff from roads.
The importance of riparian zones (stream banks) in the protection of
the District’s biodiversity and the need to integrate riparian zone
management and improvement with agricultural practices.
Increased drainage pumping costs may be incurred in order to counteract
the potential impact of climate change and rising sea level.
There may be advancements in chemical sprays and biological methods to
control weeds as and when they begin to adversely impact on the efficiency
of drainage channels resulting in reduced costs.
During the effective life of this Plan, Waikato Regional Council may develop
a mechanism of consenting drain maintenance programmes.
Efficient response to drainage

Changes in land use, for example increased horticulture could result in the
need for increased drainage capacity.
Reliable flood protection assets


Increasing costs to maintain/raise stopbanks to allow for possible sea level
rise and associated tidal surge due to climate change.
During the life of this Plan an Event Management and Flood Control
procedure will be developed. Depending on the outcome of this process
there may need to be some changes to the way major weather events are
managed.
During 2012/13 an investigation will be undertaken by Council staff for the
Western Plains Drainage District to assess the appropriate level of service
for the foreshore stopbanks with particular regard to climate change and the
Waikato Regional Council foreshore stopbank standards.


Future Directions
There is a possibility that the Waikato Regional Council may take responsibility for some of the
Hauraki District Council’s Land Drainage and/or Flood Protection activity.
Future reviews of the Council’s climate change policy could result in changes to the design elements for
this activity.

The funding impact statement is required under the Local Government Act 2002 Schedule and conforms to clause 5 of the Local
Government (Financial Reporting) Regulations 2011. They cover the 10-year period from 2012/2013 to 2021/2022 and outline the
Council’s sources of funding and its Plan to apply them. Generally accepted accounting practice does not apply to the preparation of
the funding impact statements as stated in section 111(2) of the Local Government Act. The key divergences from generally
accepted accounting practice are the non inclusion of depreciation and the inclusion of internal charges.
