• Chemical additives can poison the creatures that live
in a water body.
Even a very small quantity of pollutant, or just one
accidental discharge can drastically alter the quality of a
stream. Fish, insects and plant life can be killed and
their habitats destroyed. The stream can take many
years to recover.
You may think that your little bit of waste can’t harm
the environment but there are other people in the
region carrying out activities
during their breeding season, which is September
to December.
Create and protect open ponds and wetlands on your property.

Taranaki Regional Council
South Taranaki Constituency
Electing 3 Regional Councillors
Neil WALKER
My principal place of residence is in the South
Taranaki Constituency area.
The Taranaki Regional Council is facing
increasingly difficult issues around water quality,
as well the challenging matters around climate
change & the ETS, and the control of Waste. At
the same time we have to keep a balance by developing our
economy giving people jobs and protecting our living
differ.
What are the differences?
Retirement-fencing the entire length of banks and
revegetating them with native species -
management practices the Taranaki Regional
Council advocates for ringplain streams - would be
a major exercise on most hill country farms. They
are large and their terrain is dissected. So length of
streambank inside a farm’s boundary is much
greater than on a typical ringplain dairy farm. Cost
of fencing - let alone planting native vegetation
inside the fences - would simply
deforestation and hydro-electric development in stretches of river
that support blue duck.
Set traps on your property to control predators where blue duck are
present.
Retire and plant river and streamside riparian vegetation to enhance and
maintain water quality.

Society NZ Regional Representative Barry Hartley
