Issue 3: Addressing climate change
As the impacts of climate change
intensify, we are considering how
we can best support climate
action in Taranaki.
What the issue is
Climate change will have wide-ranging impacts on
Taranaki. Temperature is expected to increase by
between 0.5°C and 1.5°C by 2040, while rainfall will
become more variable, increasing both the
components including site
inspections, the collection as assessment of abstraction data, residual flow monitoring, water quality
analysis, data review and compliance assessments. The specific range of monitoring carried out for each
consent is dictated by the water source, weather and flow conditions, and system design.
A total of 56 irrigation consents were exercised during the 2020-2021 monitoring year, with most
commencing irrigation in mid-December and concluding late March. Rainfall

1) For an irrigation consent, applications are required to provide a reasonable use test in relation to the
maximum daily rate of abstraction return period and the seasonal or annual volume of the proposed take.
When making decisions on the reasonableness of the rate and volume of take sought, the Council will:
a. consider land use, crop water-use requirements, on-site physical factors such as soil water-
holding capacity, and climatic factors such as rainfall variability and
higher
than average rainfall the minimum separation distance between burial sites and the water table was not met
in some areas of the Cemetery.
During the year, NPDC demonstrated a good level of environmental and high level of administrative
performance with the resource consents
For reference, in the 2020-2021 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 86% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored monitoring
