review of our ‘rulebook’, the Freshwater and Land Plan, to tease out issues and potential fixes. There’s been a raft
of scientific studies and we’ve also been running a series of hui with iwi and other water users.
The Council is still aiming to have a proposed new plan ready for notification in mid-2020.

Alterations to monitoring programmes for 2024-2025
In designing and implementing the monitoring programmes for air/water discharges in the region, the
Council has taken into account:
• the extent of information already made available through monitoring or other means to date;
• its relevance under the RMA;
• the Council’s obligations to monitor consented activities and
This involves the use of current
RMA provisions to create a new freshwater policy,
planning and management regime that impacts
everything from farm practices to urban subdivision.
Implementing this regime will be the largest single
project in Council’s history.
The role of iwi
These reforms also give tangata whenua a greater
role in freshwater management by focusing on Te
Mana o Te Wai (the integrated and holistic well-
being of water) and requiring a partnership approach
to developing
of discussions with iwi
and hapū; and
recommend a path forward to establish the committees.

Minutes Ordinary Meeting Tuesday 9 April 2019
Resolved
THAT the Taranaki Regional Council
1. receives the memorandum New Plymouth District Council (Waitara Lands) Act 2018
and duties and functions of the Taranaki Regional Council;
2. notes the Act requires the Council to constitute a Waitara River Committee for the
purposes of allocating funds
the region is READY.
And so it almost goes without saying that we are WILLING. All these projects I’ve just been
describing are fine examples of people-power. They’re driven by grassroots groups or iwi
organisations with vision, determination and Willpower.

This willingness is also clearly evident in our own Council’s work with farmers and other
landholders across the region. Look at the take-up in our world-scale Riparian
gear. The results from this trial suggest that the timed-count method for pāua and kina might not be the
most suitable method for this reef during siginificant sand inundation events. It was recommended that
further discussion is undertaken with iwi to find an alternative survey method that would be more effective,
along with discussing what alternative cultural health indicators are important, and how they could be
monitored (e.g. mapping and monitoring of mussel beds).
