VEGETATION
Remember the importance of post-planting
maintenance, if planting riparian margins.
Release-weeding and pest control ensure
good establishment. Silviculture helps
prevent trees from falling into channels,
avoids suppression of ground cover by
lower branches, and ensures good growth
form for timber production. Where banks
are control-grazed, good stock
management is essential to maintain
pasture composition and density. It also
helps suppress weeds. The Council’s
information sheet
Taylor report has also avoided commenting on how controls should be enhanced
and where existing controls might become less effective under the new operation. In terms
of equipment that AFT have to mitigate effects of odour and dust, these are all based on
having birds contained within a negative pressure maintained enclosed space.

indicate that the Application covers a conversion of an existing operation to free range (our
emphasis added). According to the RAQP this would make the Application subject to Rule 54.

2.1.1 Inspections

Conditions were overcast with light spitting rain and a north westerly wind at the time
of the inspection. The camp manager reported that there had been no issues with the
sewerage pump station since the previous
of gravel bedloads.
The mountain and ranges have a strong influence on rainfall by producing orographic type
events which are often associated with frontal systems and depressions moving across the
Tasman Sea. Although the annual totals are quite high, the way in which rainfall is delivered is
more significant. Short duration, high intensity bursts of rain occurring during a storm event are
potentially much more significant in terms of runoff generated and related damage within the
4.5.1 Asset maintenance expenditure requirements
All expenditure on infrastructure assets will fall into one of two categories: capital
expenditure or operating expenditure.
(a) Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditure projects are those displaying one or more of the following
