IN TARANAKI Ngaio is relatively uncommon in Taranaki. Naturally it has been recorded along the coast from Mohakatino in the north to south of Okato, on the Kaitake Range up to a height of 300m, and inland from Hawera. The New Plymouth District Council has used ngaio in many of its coastal plantings, some of them now about 20 years old. It has used ngaio as a ‘nurse’ plant for coastal re-vegetation and for shelter in recreational areas. There are some good examples at

record. The instream habitat work done previously in the lower Waiaua River quantified the habitat at a flow of 31 l/sec, compared with a MALF of 1319 l/sec. It is unlikely that an accurate assessment of habitat can be made by extrapolating up from such a low flow rate. As an alternative, the effects of the abstraction on habitat have been assessed using the model developed by Ian Jowett for the Taranaki Regional Council as a part of the Regional Freshwater Plan review.
