Tablelands

1. Description

The Tablelands Irrigation Scheme supplies 280 hectares of mainly horticultural land with some dairying. The Scheme is located near Opotiki in the southern Bay of Plenty. Water pumped from an intake in the bed of the Otara River to a reservoir for a piped gravity supply to the irrigators. Booster-pumps ensure there is a uniform pressure to all landowners. Irrigation is through a trickle system. The water supply commenced in 1983.

Funding was provided in terms of the 1975 amendment to the Public Works Act 1928 with a 100% grant for headworks and a 50% grant for distribution works. A 10 year suspensory loan for orchard development was available for 10 years from the date the water supply commenced. The loan paid 50% of the costs of reticulating orchards.
