Coastal Peak Population Survey

Coastal Peak Population Survey Final Report 2012-2013 September 2014

Executive Summary The Whangarei District Council conducted a survey to determine peak populations of coastal areas between the 21 December 2012 and 6 January 2013. The survey targeted the owners of approximately 8,200 properties in 15 coastal areas from Bland Bay/Whangaruru in the north to Waipu Cove/Langs Beach in the south. An interim report was prepared in June 2013 and was received by District Living Committee on 10 July 2013. The interim report used growth strategy projections for population figures while the final report uses data from the 2013 Census. The last survey was completed in 2007/08 and surveyed approximately 7,000 property owners in 11 coastal areas. It was recommended from the previous report that, for the 2012/13 survey, four other coastal areas be added. These included Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Ocean Beach, Taiharuru and Whananaki areas. The key findings include: Overall, for all coastal areas, the estimated peak population for the 2012-2013 holiday period was 36,908, up from a usual resident population of 9,181. This results in an estimated peak population increase of 302%, or four times the permanent population. Bland Bay/Whangaruru and Oakura had the highest population increases The most popular destinations on the coast over the holiday period were Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Oakura, Ocean Beach, Matapouri and Waipu Cove/Langs Beach with the average length of stay being 1-2 months of the year. The peak period for coastal areas was January, while the off peak period was August. Overall, the peak population occurred over New Years. Only two coastal areas Parua Bay and Taiharuru had peak populations occurring at other times. The survey asked about water and wastewater services. Overall, 61 % of respondents had roof or bore water as their main water source, while 31% were connected to Councils reticulated water system. Overall, 60% of respondents had onsite wastewater systems. On average 65% of people are prepared for an emergency event and 68% are aware of emergency plans and arrangements in their coastal area. 62% of respondents felt that access to the coast was adequate while 27% felt access to the coast was excellent.

1 Introduction The Whangarei District Council conducted a survey to determine peak populations of coastal areas during December 2012 and January 2013. The survey targeted the owners of approximately 8,200 properties in 15 coastal areas from Bland Bay/Whangaruru in the north to Waipu Cove/Langs Beach in the south. The last survey was completed in 2007/08 and surveyed approximately 7,000 property owners in 11 coastal areas. It was recommended from the previous report that, for the 2012/13 survey, four other coastal areas be added including Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Ocean Beach, Taiharuru and Whananaki areas. The council undertakes the coastal peak population survey every five years, normally coinciding with the national census, to help it understand the nature of the peak population over the summer. The increase in population in coastal areas affects existing and future infrastructure and services, and could assist with civil defence preparedness in these areas. An interim report was prepared in June 2013 and was received by District Living Committee on 10 July 2013. The interim report used growth strategy projections for population figures while the final report uses data from the 2013 Census. This report uses Statistics New Zealand usually resident population figures.

2 Methodology The population surveyed was taken from a list of approximately 8,300 property owners in 15 coastal areas. This year s survey used the same coastal areas and the same boundaries as the 2007/08 survey, which was based on the Whangarei Coastal Management Strategy ten high priority structure plan areas. Four additional coastal areas were selected in the survey as recommended in the 2007/08 coastal report. These coastal areas were selected using Living One lots and some surrounding Countryside lots adjacent to the coastline (see Figure 1). One survey was sent to each property. If the property had more than one owner, they would all be noted on the letter, but the package would be sent to one postal address. FIGURE 1 - COASTAL AREAS THAT WERE SURVEYED IN 2012/13 The Property Identification Number (PID) was used in the mail merge and placed onto each survey as a method of tracking the number of surveys returned in each coastal area. The mail survey was determined to be the most cost effective as well as practical method to survey a large sample of the property owners across a large geographical area. The mail out included a cover letter which: 1) Invited the property owner to participate in the survey 2) Explained the purpose and importance of the project 3) Summarized the results from the 2007/08 survey Enclosed along with the cover letter was the actual survey as well as a postage paid return envelope. A copy of the cover letter and survey is attached as Appendix 1.

This year property owners were given the opportunity to answer the survey online. From the surveys returned, only 1.7% answered using the online method. The survey itself was two pages in length and consisted of nine questions. The majority of the questions were extracted from the previous survey and included: the coastal area usual place of residence how often and when they occupied the coastal property if the property was a rental property if the property was used for camping if there was a building on the property The total number of people at the property on the nights from 21 December 2012 to the 6 January 2013 as well as for Easter weekend, Anzac Day, Queens Birthday weekend and Labour weekend was requested. The water source and wastewater system question was posed again with a N/A selection available for vacant lots. After consulting with the Civil Defence Manager and members of the Infrastructure and Services Team, two new questions regarding civil defence preparedness and attitudes about access to the coast were posed. 3 Results 3.1 Response Rate The desired response rate for the survey was 50%, given the online option to respond. Out of 8,271 surveys sent, 2,288 surveys were returned. An additional 150 survey packages were returned unopened due to the respondent no longer having an affiliation with the address. The revised total number of potential respondents (8,271 minus ~150 returned) resulted in a final count of 8,120. The 2,288 completed surveys comprise a response rate of 28.18%. Response Rates from Survey Coastal Area 2012/13 2007/08 Bland Bay / Whangaruru 27.23% Not surveyed Matapouri 30.63% 31.50% McLeod Bay / Reotahi 24.44% 28.16% Ngunguru 27.72% 25.82% Oakura 29.29% 33.33% Ocean Beach 25.00% Not surveyed One Tree Point - Ruakaka 25.63% 28.88% Parua Bay 23.46% 30.77% Pataua 25.88% 30.95% Taiharuru 35.82% Not surveyed Taurikura / Urquharts Bay 32.09% 35.26% Tutukaka 31.62% 31.58% Waipu Cove / Langs Beach 39.47% 52.12% Waipu Township 20.79% 16.34% Whananaki 15.12% Not surveyed OVERALL RESULT 28.18% 30.30% TABLE 1 RESPONSE RATES FROM THE LAST TWO COASTAL POPULATION SURVEYS In the 2007/08 survey, 6,860 surveys were sent to the occupiers of the coastal areas within 11 Coastal areas. From these, 2,109 were returned representing a 30.3% response rate.

In Ngunguru and Waipu Township, the response rates went up 2.0% and 4.5% respectively, as shown in Table 1. The largest drop in the response rate came from Waipu Cove / Langs Beach at almost 13% from the previous survey. 3.2 Household Type The survey asked the property owners if the property was their usual place of residence. The results are displayed in Figure 2. Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Matapouri, Oakura, Waipu Cove/Langs Beach and Whananaki all have permanent resident households under 20%. These areas experience the highest population increase during the peak holiday period. McLeod Bay/Reotahi, Parua Bay, Waipu Township and Ngunguru all have high permanent resident households around the 60% mark. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Household Type Permanent Resident Holiday Resident FIGURE 2 HOUSEHOLD TYPES BASED ON 2012/13 SURVEY RESPONSES 3.3 Permanent Resident Population and Peak Holiday Population Before estimating the peak holiday population, one must determine the permanent resident population (i.e. usual residents). Usually Resident Population figures from the 2013 Census were used to complete this report. Coastal areas were determined with Growth Strategy boundaries and the permanent population was calculated. The estimated peak population was calculated by using this equation: Average number of people per household on the peak night x number of properties

The equation assumes that the number of properties is equal to the number of surveys sent. Figure 3 illustrates the average number of people on the peak night in each coastal area. In general, the numbers were lower on this survey than in the previous one. This could be a result of higher petrol prices which may discourage travel.

3.4 Estimated Peak Population Increase The Estimated Peak Population Increase (%) was calculated by using the following equation: Peak Holiday Population Permanent Resident Population / Permanent Resident Population x 100 Table 3 illustrates the changes in estimated peak population increases between the 2012/13 survey and the last survey performed in 2007/08.

Had the four new coastal areas been left out, the peak population increase for 2012/13 would be 249%. In general, the peak population increases were slightly higher than in the previous survey. The overall resulting increase in population in 2012/2013 for all coastal areas was 302%, which is four times the permanent resident population. It should be noted that figures from the previous survey adjusted for incorrect calculations. Also, the population figures have been refined to illustrate an exact comparison with 2013 population figures (based on boundaries for the coastal areas from the Growth Strategy). For comparison purposes, figures have been changed for the 2007/08 survey in this report. Figure 4 represents the estimated peak population increase for the 2012/13 survey comparing it with the 2007/08 survey. Bland Bay/Whangaruru, and Oakura, followed by Ocean Beach, Matapouri and Waipu Cove/Langs Beach had the highest increases in estimated peak population. Areas of low estimated peak population increase include Ngunguru, One Tree Point/Ruakaka, Parua Bay and Waipu Township.

Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Matapouri, Oakura, Pataua, Waipu Cove/Langs Beach and Whananaki all have populations which usually occupy the area for 1-2 months of the year. These areas also have medium to high coastal peak populations. The length of stay is directly related to the popularity of a destination. McLeod Bay/Reotahi, Ngunguru, Parua Bay and Waipu Township all have over 60% of their population staying for over six months of the year, which is directly related to the larger permanent resident populations in these areas.

In most coastal areas, New Years and Christmas, followed by Easter are the peak busy periods. There were a few coastal areas where the population actually decreased during some holidays when comparing it to the usual residential population. In Parua Bay, on all holidays but Christmas, the area experienced more people leaving the area than coming. Many coastal areas experienced a decrease in residential population over Anzac Day as did Queens Birthday in a few of the coastal areas. No counts of day visitors were made. 2400% Estimated Peak Population Increase for Public Holidays 1900% 1400% 900% 400% -100% Easter Anzac Queens Birthday Labour Christmas New Years FIGURE 5 ESTIMATED PEAK POPULATION INCREASES FOR PUBLIC HOLIDAYS PER COASTAL AREA

3.7 Services 3.7.1 Water Sources There appear to be two main water sources for the coastal areas rain water and reticulated water. Over 70% of respondents in One Tree Point/Ruakaka, McLeod Bay/Reotahi, Taurikura/Urquharts Bay, Waipu Cove/Langs Beach and Waipu Township reported being connected to reticulated water services (Figure 6). Parua Bay had approximately 47% reported reticulated water source and 33% roof water. All other coastal areas have predominantly roof water as their main water source, followed by bore water in Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Matapouri, Ngunguru, Oakura, Pataua, Tutukaka, and Whananaki. Other water sources on the survey noted spring, stream and purchased water. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Main Water Source Reticulated Roof Bore FIGURE 6 - MAIN WATER SOURCE IN COASTAL AREAS 3.7.2 Wastewater According to Figure 7, over 60% of surveys received in each of Taiharuru, Pataua, Matapouri, Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Tutukaka, Ocean Beach and Whananaki reported onsite septic wastewater, management systems. Over 50% of survey respondents were connected to Councils reticulated wastewater system in Ngunguru, Waipu Cove/Langs Beach, One Tree Point/Ruakaka, McLeod Bay/Reotahi, Oakura, Waipu Township and Taurikura/Urquharts Bay. Parua Bay had a mix of 29% reticulated and 39% septic wastewater systems. A third wastewater system Secondary System (drippers) was reported in all coastal areas except Taiharuru but was low (between 2% to 15%). Ocean Beach reported the highest use of the secondary system in 27% of survey respondents.

The areas with the highest peak populations during the holiday period are generally the areas not reticulated for water or wastewater. 100% Wastewater Management in Coastal Areas 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Reticulated Septic Secondary System FIGURE 7 - WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT IN COASTAL AREAS. 3.8 Civil Defence A new set of questions was asked on the survey this year. Awareness and preparedness in the case of an emergency event was presented in three questions on the survey. When asked if they considered themselves to be personally prepared for a Civil Defence Emergency Event, most respondents reported yes - they were. In all but one coastal area, those numbers were over 50% (see Figure 8). In One Tree Point/Ruakaka, only 47% of those who responded felt prepared. There may be a couple of reasons for this answer. Firstly, the area is quite flat. In the event of a Tsunami, finding higher ground could be difficult. That, combined with the limited roadways in and out of the area may create difficulties in moving away from the coast in the event of any emergency.

Most coastal areas had high awareness with Whananaki and Pataua with over 80%. In three coastal areas, there was low awareness of emergency plans and arrangements (less than 50%). These areas were One Tree Point/Ruakaka, Parua Bay and Waipu Cove/Langs Beach.

The last question about Civil Defence emergency events asked if the respondent had any emergency plans or items and were asked to tick all that apply. According to Figure 10-34% of all respondents had a Home Emergency Kit, 30% had a household emergency plan and 13% had a getaway kit (grab bag). Do you have any of the following?

Overall, 60% of respondents thought that access to the coast was adequate, 31% felt it was excellent and 9% felt is was less than adequate. Figure 11 illustrates how respondents in each coastal area felt about their access to the coast. Ocean Beach had the highest percentage of people who felt that access was excellent, while Bland Bay had the highest percentage of people who felt that access was less than adequate. 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Access to the Coast Excellent Adequate Less than Adequate FIGURE 11 ACCESS TO THE COAST BY COASTAL AREA

4 Summary The Whangarei District Council conducted a survey to determine peak populations of coastal areas between the 21 December 2012 and 6 January 2013. The survey targeted the owners of approximately 8,200 properties in 15 coastal areas from Bland Bay/Whangaruru in the north to Waipu Cove/Langs Beach in the south. The last survey was completed in 2007/08 and surveyed approximately 7,000 property owners in 11 coastal areas. It was recommended from the previous report that, for this year s survey, four other coastal areas be added including Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Ocean Beach, Taiharuru and Whananaki areas. This year was the first time that the Council gave respondents the option to complete the survey online. Out of the 2,288 surveys returned, only 29 (less than 2%) were completed online. The overall response rate was 28% for this year s survey. Overall, for all coastal areas, the estimated peak population for the 2012-2013 holiday period was 36,908, up from a usual resident population of 9,181. This results in an estimated peak population increase of 302% or four times the permanent population The peak population occurred over New Years. In only two coastal areas Parua Bay and Taiharuru - the peak populations occurred at other times. The most popular destinations on the coast over the holiday period were Bland Bay/Whangaruru, Oakura, Ocean Beach, Matapouri and Waipu Cove/Langs Beach with the average length of stay being 1-2 months of the year. The peak period for coastal areas was January, while the off peak period was August. The survey asked about water and wastewater services. Overall, 61 % of respondents had roof or bore water as their main water source, while 31% were connected to Council s reticulated water system. Overall, 60% of respondents had onsite wastewater systems. In regards to Civil Defence 68% of people are aware of emergency plans and arrangements for their coastal areas, and 65% consider themselves personally prepared in a civil defence emergency event. Almost 90% of people felt that access to the coast was excellent (27%) or adequate (62%) according to the survey. The council undertakes the coastal peak population survey to help it understand the nature of its peak population. The increase in population in coastal areas affects existing and future infrastructure and services, and could assist with civil defence preparedness in these areas. 5 Recommendations Continue to carry out the survey every five years to coincide with the national census data. Survey the same coastal settlements as the 2012/13 year and include Helena Bay/Teal Bay. Include an incentive with the mail out to increase response rate i.e. gift voucher for dinner at a local restaurant.

You have been identified as a property owner in the coastal area, and you have a number of properties. A list has been attached with the property identification number (PID) and the situation of the property. To enable the Whangarei District Council to provide adequate water, sewerage and waste collection during this period we would greatly appreciate if you could take this survey online by visiting www.wdc.govt.nz/coastalpopulationsurvey Please note that all of your responses will be kept confidential. This survey was previously completed in the 2007/08 summer period. The 2013 Census is occurring in March, and so it is advantageous to do the survey this summer. The survey enables us to monitor trends and patterns in the holiday population, as well as study when the population peaks over the holiday period. Please answer as many of the questions in the attached questionnaire, as possible. Although participation is not mandatory your input would be greatly appreciated. Response rate Results from 2007/2008 Coastal Population Survey: There was a 30% response rate in the 2007/08 survey. Our aim this year is to achieve at least a 50% response rate. Peak holiday population The peak occurred on 31 st December, 2007. Coastal areas experienced a three time population increase over permanent resident population. Matapouri experienced the highest population increase of almost 7 times. Infrastructure 52% of respondents are connected to Council s reticulated water services and 57% of survey respondents have their own on-site wastewater system. The survey respondents not connected to Councils services (water and wastewater) were Matapouri, Oakura, Pataua and Tutukaka. These areas also experience up to a seven times population increase during the holiday period. The most popular holiday destinations were Matapouri, Oakura and Waipu Cove Langs Beach.
