regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
Methanex currently holds two abstraction consents for the Waitara River.
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any contaminant
into water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in
a regional plan, or by national regulations. Methanex currently holds
otherwise. The representation of the Stratford and South Taranaki
constituencies falls outside the stipulated range. The Council considers that the Stratford Constituency
warrants one member and the South Taranaki Constituency warrants two members for the following
reasons:
• the proposed representation reflects the status quo (with only minor proposed boundary changes),
which is well understood and accepted by the regional community.
• the constituency boundaries are closely aligned to

Streambank fences enable easier stock

Trees on banks, as well as shading and

for concentrations of agrichemicals to fall sufficiently so that the risk to sensitive areas beyond the buffer zone
becomes acceptable (i.e. environmental exposure levels are not exceeded). Depending on the particular

A major policy and consultation process looking at biodiversity and private land, and the

blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine area or into the sea.
From observations made during the inspection of the site no adverse environmental effects were found, or
were expected to have been occurring, as a result of the activity authorised by consent 7374-1.4.
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 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any
