What you should know about Hauraki District Council
The Hauraki District is a relatively small territorial area, although it is geographically very diverse. Dramatic scenery and rural tranquility, arts, crafts, caf s and restaurants, wineries, history and heritage, and excellent sports facilities are all to be found in the Hauraki District. In November 2010 the Seabird Coast became part of the District and this increased the population by around 650 people. The District has a rich farming history, with a lot of business supporting and servicing the farming industry.
Mining is another key industry for the Hauraki District, with the well known open pit Martha Mine in Waihi town centre, along with a number of underground mines, located on the doorstep of the township. Tourism is a steadily growing industry for the District, with Hauraki being home to a number of tourist attractions including the recently established Hauraki Rail Trail, the Karangahake Gorge and the Seabird Coast. The District also has a large number of light engineering firms serving the farming and transport industries. The industries that the Hauraki District is most well known for are farming, mining and more recently the growing tourism industry.
In 1908 the Land Drainage Act provided for extensive land drainage work to be undertaken on the Hauraki Plains. Dairy farming is an important sector in the farming industry for Hauraki and has traditionally been the principle type of agriculture within the District due to the flat land and rich soil of the Hauraki Plains combined with a mild climate and moderate rainfall. The following tables provide a breakdown of the farming industry in the Hauraki District . The Martha open pit , Favona underground and Trio Mines underground in Waihi are three of only a handful of mines in the developed world that operate within an established residential community. The Favona underground mine begun operation in 2004 and the development of the Trio mine began in 2010.
According to Newmont Waihi Gold the Martha and Favona mines produced around 107,942 ounces of gold in 2011 and 522,129 ounces of silver in 2011. Newmont Waihi Gold has recently announced its intention to establish another underground mine called Correnso. The Council is working closely with the community and the mining company regarding issues surrounding the proposed Correnso mine and the other mines in the Waihi area. The District is home to excellent attractions including the recently established Hauraki Rail Trail which also links to Matamata Piako and Thames Coromandel Districts , the Karangahake Gorge and Victoria Battery site, Ngatea Water Gardens, the Historic Maritime Park in Paeroa, Goldfields Railway in Waikino Waihi, and the Waihi Gold Mine along with many others.
These attractions draw visitors from all over New Zealand and many overseas visitors. For more information on the tourism in the Hauraki District, including activities, events, transport and accommodation, please refer to the following websites . Other minority sports include rowing, athletics, tennis, squash, croquet, martial arts and bton and are available in some parts of the district.
