Preliminary Site Investigation Review
1 Introduction
Beca Limited (Beca) has been engaged by Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) to undertake technical review
of a Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) report prepared for 89 Paritūtū Road, Spotswood, New Plymouth
(the Site) legally described as Lot 3 DP 8465, Lot 1 DP 9022, Lot 1 DP 9829, Lot 1 DP 10018 and Lot 2 DP
9829.
Draft versions of the PSI were initially reviewed with two rounds of feedback provided in April and June 2024.
The iconic view of Taranaki Maunga reflected in the Pouākai Tarns and the flow of rivers from the mountain to the sea have provided the inspiration for the design narrative of the new East Stand at Stadium Taranaki. This design has been led by Ngāti Te Whiti, providing an identify for the stand which has been rebuilt as part of Taranaki Regional Council's redevelopment project to create the best regional stadium in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Kerehama Waru Te Pū worked on the narrative for five
SER proposals;
regional advocacy responsibilities whereby the Council represents the Taranaki region on
matters of regional significance or concern; and
experience having successfully implemented water quality improvements within Taranaki.
3) The Council has also been guided by its Mission Statement ‘To work for a thriving and prosperous
Taranaki’ across all of its various functions, roles and responsibilities, in making this submission.
4) The Council notes its
