roles in stream ecosystems on top
of their intrinsic biodiversity value. They convert primary
energy inputs to streams, from leaves that fall in and algae
and bacteria growing on the streambed in response to light
and ‘catchment tea’ (dissolved carbon from soils), into
food for fish such as whitebait, eels and trout, and birds.
In the process they keep the streambed clean and recycle
nutrients, keeping the stream healthy and productive.

… levels are $8m per annum over the ten years of the 2021/2031 Long-Term Plan.
Dividends are a significant portion of the Council’s revenue streams. Port Taranaki Ltd operates in a highly-competitive
trading environment and there are no guarantees that it will be able to continue to deliver forecast dividend levels.
Accordingly there is a risk that profits and dividends may fall at some future point. This is the biggest risk to the delivery
of the proposed programmes.

Dairying is the predominate land use in this unit, which also
includes New Plymouth and other urban areas. Waterways in
these short, steep and relatively small catchments rise and fall
rapidly in response to rainfall. The catchments are small and
subject to relatively high consumption and waste discharge
pressures, especially compared with those in the eastern
hillcountry.

of the cliffs. As this coastal area is considered ’high energy’, and also that there is
only a very narrow strip of beach (at low tide only), any waters emerging from the cliff would be swiftly
mixed and dispersed. Any effects on groundwater quality or coastal water quality would be negligible. In
general, the creation of stable interlocked layers of green waste ensures that it does not fall off, or get
blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine area or into the sea.

In general there are two types of irrigation methods; surface and pressurised. The majority of irrigation
systems currently in operation in the province fall in to the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be

Water abstraction permits
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section
