Writing of her proposed research on "The impact of horticultural expansion in the Tauranga District" Evelyn Stokes says "The proposal is to produce a report ... which provides an overview of the expansion of horticulture in the Bay of Plenty in the last 20 years ... a rapid and widespread land use change to horticulture can produce some problems for planners and local bodies in the area where it is going on. The objective of the proposed report is to identify trends and issues in the Bay of Plenty which would be of value in assisting planners and local authorities in other areas where horticulture is envisaged, or already underway. The term impact includes the "ripple" effect of land use changes through the social, economic and organisational structures of the local communities ..." Handout written by Evelyn Stokes, Reader in Geography, University of Waikato, 3 May 1982
