Today’s $20 million Government injection for Yarrow Stadium is great news for ratepayers and will allow the iconic venue to be back in operation as soon as possible, says the Taranaki Regional Council. “We’re extremely grateful for this ‘shovel-ready’ funding from the Government,” says the Council Chair, David MacLeod. “It will reduce Yarrow Stadium rates by a considerable amount, and we’re aiming for work to begin before the end of the year.” The Stadium’s grandstands were declared

They used to be extinct from Taranaki Maunga, but a family of six whio surfing down rapids in the upper Whaiwhakaiho River are a good reminder as to why rural predator control is so vital. The native blue ducks were classed as “functionally extinct” from the Maunga in 1945, due to introduced predators - stoats are whio’s number one predator. However, a video captured by Taranaki Regional Council this month shows the whio population is gradually increasing due to intensive predator control.
Items of interest from today's meeting of the Council's Consents and Regulatory Committee: Resource consents

Three hundred and eighty-two consents were issued by Taranaki Regional Council over the 2015/2016 financial year, slightly down on 400 the previous year. This was probably due to an economic downturn in the oil, gas and dairy sectors, the Consents and Regulatory Committee was told on Tuesday.
