Description: A composite dataset that includes all wetlands from each of the three surveys undertaken (BOPWetldExclRotED20050324: Bay of Plenty Wetlands Excluding the Rotorua Lakes Ecological District - final version acquired 24/03/2005, RotLakeEDWetld20050324; Rotorua Lakes Ecological District Wetlands - final version aquired 24/03/2005, RotLakeMargWetldExtentOnly; Rotorua Lake Margins Wetlands Extents Only). It will, in the future, also include any further surveys and one off mapping of wetlands. There are and will continue to be, multiple versions of the same wetland. This is because some wetlands have been mapped in a number of surveys. Any wetland that gets re-mapped in the future will not have any polygons already in this dataset changed in anyway, but a whole new polygon will be added.

Description: The Lake Rotorua catchment boundary is defined by the surface catchment, in part, and by the groundwater catchment outside the surface catchment.The surface catchment was defined at a 1:2000 scale using LIDAR digital terrain measurements.Then, the groundwater catchment wasdefined. This catchment generally coincides with the surface catchment. However, the catchment is outside the surface catchment over the Mamaku Plateau and the boundary is identified by data including: water budgets, digital terrain measurements, groundwater level measurements and estimates of specific discharge in streams.An assessment of the uncertainties in these data translate to estimates of uncertainty in the groundwater catchment. Boundaries of surface and groundwater catchments, and uncertainties in these boundaries, were developed as separate data sets(NutrientDischargeCatchmentGroundwaterRotoruaMinus_95percent, NutrientDischargeCatchmentGroundwaterRotoruaPlus_95percent).
Description: The catchment boundaries were generated for the are of the 2006 Rotorua LiDAR where this was inside the Bay of Plenty regional boundary. However some catchments on the edges of the are covered by the LiDAR are not complete. They can be seen in the data as those with straight edges.The catchments were created from a 2m DEM.

Description: Covers the whole of the Bay of Plenty Region. Provides those boundaries that have been defined for all major river catchments, most stream catchments and many of their tributaries.Any changes that staff notice need to be made to this dataset must first go through John Douglas (Senior Land Management Officer)Each Polygon identified by hierarchy decending from primary catchment to subsequent tributaries/lakes. Catchments will be defined firstly by the named river or estuary that feeds to the coast. For instance the Motu and Whakatane rivers are obvious examples, but the Maraetotara Stream is also an example. For estuaries, Ohiwa estuary is an example where the Nukuhou River is part of the Ohiwa estuary catchment.In instances where the catchments of 'primary' rivers/streans have not been defined, the area that they occur within will be referred to as 'xxxxx coastal'. Examples on the current map are the Te Kaha and Waikawa Coastal catchments.Instances where some tributaries have been defined for a primary river, lake or estuary but others between these are still aggregated into one area, then this will be known as 'xxxxx area'. Examples of these are Rangitaiki/Kaingaroa area that lies between two defined tributaries, and the Kaituna/Lake Rotorua/Haumarana area.The catchments layer will exclude the lake polygons. The catchment for each lake will include the surface of the lake. If lake surface area is needed to be calculated then the lakes layer needs to be used in conjunction with this layer.Where a lake has no defined flowing surface-outlet that feeds to the coast, then that lake becomes the primary catchment. For example, Lakes Rotoma, Okaro and Rotoehu.As the catchments of tributaries to the 'primary' rivers/streams are defined they will named in a hierarchical fashion. For instance: if Brown River is a sub-catchment of Jones River, then that catchment will be labelled 'Jones/Brown'. Then if Bloggs River is a tributary of Brown River then it's catchment will be labelled 'Jones/Brown/Bloggs'. Where natural lakes occur as part of the catchment they will be considered in similar manner to a tributary (note that this means that individual lake catchments can be queried but that linkages between lakes are not shown as clearly. This mainly relates to the Lakes Rotorua - Rotoiti and Lakes Tarawera - Okareka linkages). For example, the Tarawera River starts at the outlet of Lake Tarawera and the Lake Okareka outlet feeds to Lake Tarawera. The Tarawera River below Lake Tarawera that is not defined into tributaries is called the Lower Tarawera. The Lake Tarawera catchment is called Lake Tarawera with the lake being included. The Lake Okareka catchment is called Lake Okareka.Where man-made lakes occur in rivers and the river continues above the lake, then that lake may become a catchment 'area' with its feeding tributaries to its shoreline, but any tributaries above the lake revert to the primary river. For instance, on the Rangitaiki River, Lake Aniwhenua could have its own tributaries if it is defined as an area, but the Horomanga and Whirinaki rivers remain secondary tributaries of the Rangitaiki, not Lake Aniwhenua. Naming conventions need to be firstly the official name as in 'Catchments of New Zealand, by Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Council, December 1956'. Otherwise an agreed 'local' name can be used. Where multiple local names are being used the alternatives should also be stored as part of the dataset for that catchment.Scale needs to be clearly defined for each catchment/sub-catchment. This will be based on the worst quality portion of the boundary capture. For example for a very large catchment there may be portions of the boundary captured at 1:10000, but if the majority has been captured at 1:50000, then 1:50000 is the appropriate scale to use the data for this catchment. Each database can choose the level/scale of sub-catchment 'definition' that is relevant to that database.User-defined catchments are useful in some catchments. However these will be identified on a separate layer and by a separate set of attributes to the sequential tributary attributes above. For instance, in the Rangitaiki the 'Kaingaroa area' has been split by some users into the 'Upper Rangitaiki' and 'Kaingaroa' catchments. (based on drainage to a certain point but excluding some major tributaries to the Rangitaiki River in these areas).Note that diversions such as for hydro-electric power stations have not been addressed in this layer. Subsequent refinement to the catchment boundaries is likely to continue to occur as the layer is used. Any suggested changes to the boundaries need to be QC'd by appropriately knowledgeable staff. John Douglas will be the first point of contact for Geospatial staff who have received such a request. He will then consult appropriate staff to gain a consensus on the relevance or otherwise of the requested boundary change.

Name: DOC Potential Ecosystem Vegetation Bay Of Plenty
Display Field: EcosystemType
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: 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 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.'Priority Level' field added and populated with valused according to the Potential Ecosystem Priority Levels spreadsheet from Shay Dean - Environmental Scientist BOPRC on 26/07/2017

Description: The New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI) is a national database of physical land resource information. It comprises two sets of data compiled using stereo aerial photography, published and unpublished reference material, and extensive field work: 1. An inventory of five physical factors (rock type, soil, slope, present type and severity of erosion, and vegetation). A 'homogeneous unit area' approach is used to record the five physical factors simultaneously to a level of detail appropriate for presentation at a scale of 1:50,000. 2. A Land Use Capability (LandUseCapability) rating of the ability of each polygon to sustain agricultural production, based on an assessment of the inventory factors above, climate, the effects of past land use, and the potential for erosion. The NZLRI covers the country in 11 regions, each with a separate LandUseCapability classification. Provided the LUC and Land Resource Inventory (LRI) is used properly it could be possible to predict some of the potential effects of land use change on erosion.The Land Resource Inventory comprises serveral physical resource themes: Land Use capability, Lithology, Soil etc.This dataset is a polygon layer delineating land areas classified according to their capability to sustain continous production. Land Use Capability (LUC) is a hierarchical classification identifying: the land's general versatility for productive use; the factor most limiting to production; and a general association of characteristics relevant to productive use (e.g, landform, soil, erosion potential, etc.). LUC classifications have been constructed for each NZLRI survey region. These individual classifications have been correlated to North and South island classifications to permit wide-area analyses.The NZLRI is a spatial dataset contaning similar information to that in the NZLRI worksheets. Each polygon describes a parcel of land in terms of five characteristics (rock, soil, slope, erosion, vegetation). The LUC rating of each unit is based on an assessment of the ability of these five factors to provide sustained agricultural production, This also considers climate, effects of past land use and potential for erosion.As there are separate LUC classifications for each NZLRI survey region, a Land Use Capability expression must be interpreted in the contect of it's LEGEND. The Bay of Plenty region is made up of parts of 6 NZLRI survey regions however a standardised LUC for the whole North Island has been included and should be used for the Bay of Plenty.Dataset was published in 1979 but work was started in 1973. It is still being maintained as new data and funding becomes available. Was originally created by the Ministry of Works and Development to assist the National Water and Soil Conservation Organisation in fulfilling its responsibilities for soil conservation and erosion control. This required land resource information of a uniform standard and quality at the local, regional and national levels. Please read Land Resource Inventory version 2 Documentation.pdf (Objective ID A478753) for more information.
