Councillor C L Littlewood commended officers for bringing this to the Committee.
6.3 It was noted that other Councils around the country have climate change committees
and this is something to think about for the future.
6.4 It was suggested that the Climate Change Strategy memorandum be recommended to
the Policy and Planning Committee for consideration by iwi and District Council
representatives.
Recommends
That the Taranaki Regional Council:
a) receives the memorandum …
learns from emergencies. Taranaki
CDEM Group will work with Taranaki communities to:

This Plan recognizes that the term ‘communities’ may refer to specific individuals, agencies,
organizations, local authorities, iwi authorities, community boards, community representatives etc, that

regulation of forestry, particularly slash
management on hill sides and it was agreed to report back to a subsequent Committee
meeting on this matter.
2.3 The recording and presentation of iwi involvement in consents was discussed and it

Recommended
THAT the Taranaki Regional Council
1. receives the schedule of resource consents granted and

the length of costly hearings.
I wish to note here that although a very high proportion of
consent applications are processed as ‘non-notified’ this
does not mean that few or no people were involved in these
consent processes. In fact, as in previous years, there was
considerable public involvement in the non-notified processes
through consultation and/or written approvals with hundreds
of affected parties, including iwi and hapu.
There was considerable public
involvement in the
for instance,
we’re fully engrossed in a review of our ‘rulebook’,
the Freshwater and Land Plan, to tease out issues
and potential fixes. There’s been a raft of scientific
studies – you can find the reports on our website –
and we’ve also been running a series of hui with
iwi and other water users.
So watch this space, and never let anyone tell you
that Taranaki’s doing nothing about its waterways!
