Minutes Ordinary Meeting Tuesday 9 April 2019

THAT the Taranaki Regional Council

organisations with vision, determination and Willpower.

landholders across the region. Look at the take-up in our world-scale Riparian

remediation projects. We are working towards the removal
of a number of significant barriers, following the successful
removal of the Kaūpokonui Weir, a project championed by
local iwi and hapū.
