Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">Update from StatsNZ_RegionalCouncilBoundary_YYYY when this is updated from Statistics NZ</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The region is the top tier of local government in New Zealand. Thereare 16 regions of New Zealand (Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the LocalGovernment Act 2002). Eleven are governed by an elected regionalcouncil, while five are governed by territorial authorities (the secondtier of local government) who also perform the functions of a regionalcouncil and thus are known as unitary authorities. These unitaryauthorities are Auckland Council, Nelson City Council, Gisborne,Tasman, and Marlborough District Councils.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Council also perform some of the functions of a regional council, but isnot strictly a unitary authority. Unitary authorities act as regionalcouncils for the purposes of a wide range of Acts and regulations.Regional council areas are based on water catchment areas. Regional councils are responsible for the administration of many environmental and public transport matters.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Regional Councils were established in 1989 after the abolition of the 22local government regions. The local government act 2002, requires the boundaries of regions to confirm as far as possible to one or morewater catchments. When determining regional boundaries, the localGovernment commission gave consideration to regional communitiesof interest when selecting water catchments to included in a region. Italso considered factors such as natural resource management, land useplanning and environmental matters. Some regional boundaries areconterminous with territorial authority boundaries but there are manyexceptions. An example is Taupo District, which is split between fourregions, although most of its area falls within the Waikato Region.Where territorial local authorities straddle regional council boundaries,the affected area have been statistically defined in complete area units.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Generally regional councils contain complete territorial authorities.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The unitary authority of the Auckland Council was formed in 2010,under the Local Government (Tamaki Makarau Reorganisation) Act2009, replacing the Auckland Regional Council and seven territorialauthorities.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The seaward boundary of any costal regional council is the twelve mileNew Zealand territorial limit.Regional councils are defined at meshblock and area unit level.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
