On behalf of Regional Software Holdings Ltd (RSHL), and the ten regional sector shareholders, it is our pleasure to present our
2023/2024 Annual Report.
RSHL is the shared services organisation of Te Uru Kahika. All 16 regional and unitary councils in Aotearoa New Zealand are
customers of RSHL.
RSHL is the shared services collaborative delivery agent for regional and unitary council in New Zealand. It delivers a wide range
of digital, operational and financial programmes, on behalf of
contamination, and available options to remediate the site. Tonkin + Taylor has been engaged by Dow to complete a site investigation and develop a remediation plan for the Paritūtū site. Click here for their website which provides information about the project. Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) and New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) as the regulatory authorities, with iwi/hapū, will work alongside and in consultation with Dow throughout the life of the project. Dow has proposed that iwi/hapū and the wider

A new, more resilient hybrid main pitch that will last longer than natural turf and take less time to recover after fixtures, boosting access to the community.

… and
processes in place to enable that to occur.
The Council recognises the importance of working together with Māori across the region including Māori involvement in
decision making processes. This is part of Council’s Mission Statement to carry out its various responsibilities by, among
other things, taking into account the Treaty of Waitangi.
Furthermore, Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 2002 requires the Council to set out the steps it intends to take to
foster development

Taranaki Regional Council’s Towards Predator-Free Taranaki team has been working to eradicate possums between the Timaru Stream and the Hangatāhua (Stony) River since January 2023. The original farmland area between the Timaru and Oākura River has had no resident possum population for more than three years. So far they’ve removed almost 3500 possums from the extension
