Sufficient volumes of water within streams and rivers to protect aquatic habitat is a
primary concern of the Regional Council with respect to water abstraction permits.
Water abstraction for quarries is primarily only required for the washing of aggregate,
and in this regard the Council encourages the recycling of both washwater and

patch reefs on Pātea Bank. This new knowledge is put within the context of
existing knowledge of other subtidal reef systems within TRC’s management region (territorial sea).
This new knowledge helps fill in major fundamental gaps around coastal habitats and associated
ecological assemblages, which fall under TRCs management responsibilities.
1.1 General background
The South Taranaki Bight (STB) covers an extensive seafloor area (12,500 km2) and is in part
characterised by an extensive
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.

omission to conclude that the consent application falls under Rule 52 of the RAQP. Rule 52
covers “Existing poultry farming processes” whereas AFT (and Tonkin and Taylor) clearly
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

There are eight monitored quarries in Taranaki that hold a water abstraction consent. Four of these quarries
actively take water for use in quarry operations, the remaining four hold consents to take groundwater
incidental to quarrying activity.
