Taranaki Regional Council is collaborating with the Pukeiti Rhododendron Trust, Massey University and the New Zealand Rhododendron Association on an ex-situ conservation strategy for the genus Rhododendron. But what does this actually mean? An ex-situ strategy means we are physically conserving something outside of its natural habitat range to ensure its survival – similar to the way zoos work with native and exotic animals. Rhododendrons are our focus because as a group of plants they are one
guidelines of contaminants during cold
and wet weather, and indeed even during flood flows in summer. The overland flow of
rainwater across agricultural land and urban landscapes may easily pick up high levels of
the bacteria that are then deposited into our nearest waterways.
The NPS-FM directs all regional councils (including unitary authorities) to set regional
targets to improve the quality of fresh water so rivers and lakes are suitable for primary
contact more often.
Bus links on the iconic Surf Highway are being improved by Taranaki Regional Council with a major boost to the Ōpunake to New Plymouth route from 1 May. Commuters and shoppers heading from the coastal Taranaki township to New Plymouth on the Southlink Coastal service are now able to use the service every day from Monday to Friday while a drop-off and pick-up has been added for students heading to Spotswood College. The bus will make stops along the way in Rāhotu, Pungarehu, Ōkato and Ōakura.

Do you support the establishment of a
Maori constituency for Taranaki
Regional Council? (choose one)
No
Comments: 1. Having automatic representation is against everything New Zealand has
stood for. This is a thin wedge towards destruction of democracy. Equality
is paramount. What an insult to the current Regional Council Chairman to
suggest the type of change.
2. There is no precise definition to establish when a person is Maori. This
allows misrepresentation on the Maori Electoral
