NRC wishes to purchase a study that will scope-up a small number of potential irrigation scheme options in selected areas of the Northland region. This study will follow on from the Northland Strategic Irrigation Infrastructure Study that was completed in early 2016 and is publically available on the NRC website (www.nrc.govt.nz/economicdevelopment).

The first study provided a high level regional scale overview of the potential for irrigation development in Northland (i.e. what could it be). Two areas were identified as worthy of further investigation in the first instance: a Mid North cluster (containing the Kaikohe, Kerikeri and Waimate North command areas) and a Kaipara cluster (containing North Kaipara and Ruawai).

This second phase project will consider in greater detail and depth the potential for irrigation demand and supply opportunities in these areas (i.e. what should it be) to ensure all problems are identified, alternative solutions appraised and possible potential scheme options identified. Maps of these five command areas as identified in the first study are provided in Appendix 1. The boundaries of the command areas and the intake/location reservoir sites are only approximate and are to be used as a starting point for this study.

It is intended that the potential options identified in this second study will be taken into a prefeasibility investigation phase that will confirm the demand potential, technical feasibility, environmental sustainability and refine cost estimates for the options to identify a single preferred scheme option to take into the feasibility phase.
