ing, for example the likes of cannabis cropping) provided the regionally earned profit
settles within the region. Quote is from Bendavid-Val (1991: 82).
3 Akin to the vast non-desert temperate regions of North America, New Zealand and
South Eastern Australia. ‘Agricultural’ in its broadest interpretation includes horticul-
tural, pastoral, silvicultural, orcharding and viticultural activities.
4 Computer storage along with updating and retrieval systems, in an open and readily
accessible data library, is the heart and circulation system, and part of the muscula-
ture, of a growth management organization. These anatomical metaphors might be
extended: improvement to the overall regional ‘body’ involves close attention to the
‘skeletal structure’ (urban-rural resource base), the ‘nervous’ system (economic and
communication linkages)’, and cerebellum (politics and administration).
5 Also useful is the preparation of Bendavid-Val’s (1991) aggregate social accounts
devised to furnish technical advice on rudimentary linkages between an input–output
analysis ‘set’ and a conventional balance of payments ‘account’, thereby highlighting
beneficial adjustments and picking up on indicative trends.
6 See John Friedmann’s (1966) recommendations for the linkage enhancement of ‘fron-
tier’ and ‘downward transition’ regions (predicated on an extra-regional basis). For
New Zealand’s best-known ‘downward transition’ region, the West Coast of the South
Island, during the period 1986–91 the population decreased2.7 per cent; whereas for
the South Island as a whole the 1986–91 populationgrew by 1.3 per cent; and for this
reason the connection of the West Coast to the rest of the South Island was, in terms
of Friedmann’s reasoning, of vital importance.
7 The ‘space-draining’ indication reasons that settlements can draw resources from the
countryside without reciprocally contributing to rural development.
8 Eric Pawson and Garry Scott illustrated the decline of public services in the context of
a dramatic West Coast (South Island, New Zealand) ‘case study’ (‘Resisting Post Office
Closures’ in Britton, Le Heron and Pawson (editors 1992) Changing Places in New
Zealand). Their data shows a decline from (1983) 45 outlets, to (1990) 14 outlets. Pawson
and Scott quote a newspaper reporting that ‘most of the small communities found that
the post office is the only bank, and feel that reductions in services and closures will
herald the total decline of the communities as a viable proposition’.
9 The long-haul net deficit accounting process should always include post-operational
clean-up and landscaping.
10 An example is the internalization of part of an extra-regional indigenous forest log
export trade with diversion to within-region furniture crafting industries, maybe
avoiding a whole-log export tariff.
11 ‘Violates’ leaves open the possibility that in some offshore situations the receiving
nation can be compensated adequately for the environmental risk and ambient degra-
dation they allow.
12 Unless these are sheeted home to the project while it is ongoing.

John Forester’s ‘Planning in the Face of Conflict’ (1987).
14 An important component item not specifically itemized within the main text seven-
point listing is ‘transportation’ which is profiled in the Box 3.6 Matrix, fitting into the
regional growth management considerations which follow, receiving some further
appraisal in the next chapter, ‘Urban Growth Management’.
15 During the 1970s the Auckland Regional Council acquired vast tracts – north, south,
east and west of the city – as Regional Parks. Although common practice elsewhere,
the geographical spread, and the huge acreage relative to the city population, was very
generous for its time.288 Notes to pp. 125–52
