certainty during the consenting process and will minimise disputes and reduce costs for the applicant and the Council. More effective as Plan users will have greater certainty around whether their activity falls inside/outside the coastal environment and the appropriate Policies to consider. More effective as each consent application will be addressed consistently and reduces variation between consents. There are no additional costs associated with this change. page 6
public use can degrade the values associated with the site – little can or should be done to promote coastal public access. Six (or 21%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance having poor public access fall within these two categories. • For the two remaining limiting factors, these being lack of formal access or poorly defined public access, more could be done to improve public access. Twenty-three (or 79%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance having poor

be noted that even with MfE’s overly optimistic analysis, we will fall well short of what is required as a national average under the NPS-FM. This is despite the fact that through the Taranaki Riparian Management Programme the region is investing and doing far more than the NPS-FM requires and doing more than many other regions in New Zealand. Since 1995, the percentage of Taranaki’s ring plain streams fenced has risen from 50% to 85%, and the percentage planted has risen
current work are far below ambient guideline values, and all results fall into ‘excellent’ Ministry’s air quality category. Two of the four benzene results were within ‘excellent’ MfE’s category and another two results fell within the ‘good’ category. The Council has previously undertaken BTEX monitoring in Taranaki region. The outcomes of those previous BTEX studies were discussed in the “Air monitoring survey of hydrocarbon compounds (BTEX) in the Taranaki Region” report which may be

Ropers Bush falls within the 'Acutely threatened' LENZ environment (less than 10% indigenous forest remaining) and is located in the Manawatu Plains Ecological District. The KNE provides connectivity to other KNE sites such as Ngakotana Gorge and Tarere Forest Extension.

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 contaminant into water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for
