Waikato Regional Plan Geothermal Water Feature - GIS Layer


File ID: CA7E897E-0DCD-4EE0-AEB6-DABAECFB5ABE
Hierarchy Level: dataset
Abstract: The data set contains Geothermal Water Features in Development and Limited Development Geothermal Systems. These are point-source natural discharges of geothermal water from springs.
Statement: Under the rules in Section 3.8 of the Proposed Waikato Regional Plan drilling of holes below the water table within 50 m of Geothermal Water Features is a non-complying activity governed by Rule 3.8.4.9. The maps of Geothermal Water Features are used in the Waikato Regional Plan Geothermal Module to show where these activities are regulated in Development and Limited Development Geothermal Systems. In other systems a description applies instead of a map. This Layer is the result of Regional Plan appeal negotiations that took place in 2005. The layer will be updated from time to time by either order of the Environment Court or changes to Regional Plan but this will require a legal process to be followed before the change is made. Therefore before making decisions based on it check with WRC Policy Group or WRC Geothermal Scientists. The dataset is complete as per Waikato Regional Plan Variation 7, made operative 8 December 2010. The changes primarily relate to the location of the Hall of Fame Spring. There will be a variation in a year or two to add the features that have been omitted and further variations every few years to accommodate better information about the location of features.

Abstract: Geothermal water features
Statement: ** Geographic Extent of the Data - Geothermal Water Features within the WRC region, mainly in Rotorua and Taupo District. ** Applications: The Geothermal Water Feature locations can be used in determining locations of Geothermal Water Features so that activities surrounding these sites comply with objectives, policies, and rules in WRP or for assessment of consent applications. Used in consent officers’ reports, plan effectiveness monitoring, reporting state of the environment information, prioritising non-regulatory initiatives by Waikato Regional Council. However there are often other matters to be taken into account so before making decisions based on this data check with WRC Policy Group. ** The Geothermal Water Feature dataset was provided by Policy staff (Robert Brodnax) to settle appeals on the WRP. It has been gathered from WRC scientists and monitoring staff but primarily provided by appellants, mainly Contact Energy Ltd. Some additions were made during Variation 7. As geothermal features are dynamic areas, change will be an ongoing process with variations every 2-3 years expected to accommodate new or newly discovered features. Furthermore because WRC science staff were only minimally involved in the process there is a large number of omissions. These are included in Variation 7 of the Waikato Regional Plan. ** Data Acquisition: The Geothermal Water Feature dataset was provided by Policy staff (Robert Brodnax) to settle appeals on the WRP.

Grid references for Geothermal Water Features were provided by Robert Brodnax.
Other Information: ** Attribute Accuracy: No quantitative checks on attribute accuracy was undertaken. Attributes entered as listed in the Regional Plan. ** Completeness: Geothermal Water Feature Boundaries: Dataset is complete as per Waikato Regional Plan Variation 7, made operative 8 December 2010. The changes primarily relate to the location of the Hall of Fame Spring. There will be a variation in a year or two to add the features that have been omitted and further variations every few years to accommodate better information about the location of features. ** Logical Consistency: GIS tools used to clean the data include validate geometry, fix geometry, validate connectivity and fix connectivity. Attributes correct at the time the Regional Plan was written. ** Data Form: Electronic data form, from which hard copy maps for the WRP have been/can be produced. Stored as dataset in WRC’s Oracle data base and is accessible by WRC’s Intergraph GIS Applications.
