Report: TR 2022/18

Authors: H Jones and D Borman

Abstract

This report describes the current state (as at 2018) and trends (change over time) in land cover for the Waikato region between 1996 and 2018.

Data are presented for the region as a whole and by catchment management zone. Net changes in areas occupied by the land cover classes are presented but the report also looks beyond net change to report the area change to and from several key land cover classes over time. A regrouping of detailed land cover classes into classes more reflective of the use of the land (i.e. land use classes) was also undertaken to provide a high-level proxy for land use state and trend across the region and by catchment management zone.
