Kaihihi Road and SH45. It is clear from the topography of the
overflow area that this has occurred many times in the distant past.
Whilst these overflows are uncommon, with large volumes of gravel being transported by
the Stony River from its upper reaches and increases in rainfall arising from the effects of
climate change, they are likely to occur more regularly in the future.
Works required to reduce the risk of overflows causing future damage to the area were
undertaken as capital works

there is no signage or 0800 smell number for them to ring and
complain about the chemical, vomiting stenching smell.
- Our young budgie that was kept in a cage out on the verandah
died after days of chemical, vomiting stench.
- The rainfall in Uruti is 2.5 - 3 metres per annum which is an
extremely high rainfall and therefore when the valley is flooding

the next highest values for each year are the 95th (99th) percentiles
In this report the 95th (99th) percentiles of daily maximum gust speed will be called the

• Remember that waste solvents can be recycled
• Store all paints, thinners and other liquids under
cover to prevent rainfall washing out pollutants
• If liquids must be stored outside, keep lids and caps
on containers and use a secure area to avoid
vandalism
• Keep all areas exposed to rainfall clean, and keep all
wastes out of stormwater drains
• Dispose of all waste via the sewerage system or a
commercial waste contractor.

As the impacts of climate change
intensify, we are considering how
we can best support climate
action in Taranaki.
What are the issues?
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 risk of
drought on one hand, and the risk of floods on the
other. Sea-level rise will increasingly threaten coastal
climate change out to 2100, would use an increase in peak flood flows of
approximately 20%. This is based on the latest NIWA report prepared for MfE (HIRDs V4). That report states for every
degree of temperature increase there is a corresponding 10.1% increase in rainfall (this is called the augmentation factor).
Using the RCP6 climate change scenario out to 2100 (the mid-range CO2 emission scenario) this gives a 2.0-degree
temperature increase or an equivalent increase in rainfall
