to mediation. Most of the appeals have been successfully resolved, with one remaining. The Government's major
Essential Freshwater programme has been released and staff have developed an implementation programme. The programme
represents a significant shift for the Council and the Taranaki community. Work on the Natural Resources Plan, that will
implement the programme, continues. Recently agreement was reached with the iwi leaders group concerning commissioning
some work to
Council under various legislative frameworks

1991 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
