GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Town of Pipiroa is situate in Hauraki Plains, on the
west bank of the Piako River. The nearest access is by
launch or steamer, &c., from Thames, which is distant about
seven miles. Through-access roads from Pokeno and Waerega Railway-stations pass directly through the town to
Pipiroa Wharf, and then continue from the Kopuarahi Wharf
to Turua and Kerepeehi, these roads being now under construction.

The town lands are partly drained alluvial clay-deposit,
and covered with native grass, manuka, and some mangrove.
Some of the sections have small, dried-up watercourses
through them, which can, however, be readily filled in.

The suburban lands are also partly drained alluvial clay-
deposit, and the vegetation consists of light and heavy manuka
in places, raupo, cabbage-trees, native grasses, &c. There
are a few dried-up watercourses passing through some of the
sections, which can, however, be readily filled in.

The rural lands are similar in character to the suburban
sections.

The roads will be duly formed and stopbank and other
protective works maintained for a period of two years by the
Department.
