Britton, R. (2004). 2020 Taupo-nui-a-Tia Policy Review. Prepared for 2020 Taupo-nui-a-Tia, March 2004. This document provides an overview of key agencies existing policy which contributes to achieving the community values identified through the Taupo-nui-a-Tia 2020 project. The purpose of the overview was to identify responsibilities of different agencies and to identify gaps or overlaps in policies. The agencies included are Department of Conservation, Department of Internal Affairs, Environment Waikato, Ngati Tuwharetoa Maori Trust Board and Taupo District Council. There is a wide range of existing policy which contributes to these values. There is a significant amount of policy in relation to managing water. Safe swimming, Good trout fishing and Commercial opportunities were also well covered. Further policy may be required in relation to Diverse plants and Weed-free Lake, Recreational opportunities and Foreshore reserves (particularly access issues), Wilderness areas, Outstanding scenery and Geological features, Cultural values (particularly identifying and protecting significant features and decision-making processes). This policy overview should only be regarded as a snapshot in time.
Donaldson, C. and Huser, B. (2004). Proposed Indicators and Performance Standards for 2020 Taupo-nui-a-Tia. Prepared for 2020 Taupo-nuia-Tia, Environment Waikato. The report contributes to the establishment of a monitoring framework for the 2020 Taupo-nui-aTia project - in particular the development of indicators and performance standards to: • • •
track progress towards achieving the community/iwi values assess the effectiveness of the identified actions identify any emerging issues.
Appendices
The process of developing the suggested indicators is based on a web and literature review, various 2020 Taupo-nui-a-Tia documents and a workshop with the 2020 Taupo science advisory panel. The indicators suggested in this document are the first step in a process of developing and selecting ‘milestones’ for reporting on the ongoing health of Lake Taupo and its surrounding catchment. It is expected that the approach and the proposed indicators will be further modified through input from community groups (LWAG, 2020 Forum) and stakeholders as the development of the 2020 Action Plan progresses. The indicators developed so far are mostly ecologically focused, although some attempt has been made to include indicators for quality of life and economic values. It is expected that the community will provide input into the indicator set, which will more fully represent quality of life concerns.
