Policy considerations
17. This memorandum and the associated recommendations are consistent with the policy
documents and positions adopted by this Council under various legislative frameworks
including, but not restricted to, the Local Government Act 2002, the Resource Management
Act 1991 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
Iwi considerations
18. This memorandum and
landowners, consultants and territorial authorities.
The role encompasses effective engagement with iwi and hapū, the local community and a wide
range of internal and external stakeholders to provide sound technical advice on drainage,
flooding, river control and river-related erosion as well as river-related structures, to ensure
effective implementation of regional and national policies and regulations. Effectively
communicating river-related technical advice to a range of audiences is a key
application for that activity.
Well drilling
Well drilling is a permitted activity undertaken in accordance with Rule 46 of the
Regional Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki. However if directional drilling results in
structures (eg. Well casing) beneath the sea bed or foreshore, consents pursuant to
the Regional Coastal Plan for Taranaki must be obtained. If such consents are to be
applied for, comment will need to be sought from Iwi under the Marine and Coastal
Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011
