The NPS-FM also anticipates that the quality of freshwater is to be improved so that it is suitable for primary contact more often. More detail on the swimmability targets and what these mean for Taranaki will be presented to the Committee on the day. Basically where there are grazing animals, particularly dairy cows, and it rains reasonably frequently causing pasture runoff, the new standards will not be met
The onset of warmer, drier weather brings a greater chance of smoke and dust issues, and Taranaki businesses and households are urged to take care to avoid falling foul of environmental requirements. “Everyone has a duty to comply with measures required to protect the quality of Taranaki’s air,” says Bruce Pope, Compliance Manager for the Taranaki Regional Council.

The industrial area at Bell Block is situated mid-catchment (Figure 1). Historically, the industrial areas were located predominantly on the western side of the stream however ongoing development since 2016 has resulted in more sites on the eastern side. These sites fall under permitted activity rules and are not

The final proposal must then be submitted to the Local Government Commission for approval, as the Stratford population to member ratio again falls outside the guidelines. This has previously been approved by the Commission. If appeals are received, these will also be considered by the Commission. It will have until 11 April 2022 to make its determination.

Any further dune stabilisation will be done using green waste disposed of at the Patea transfer station. Patea Beach is an elevated site which for most of the time is dry. Rain that does fall on the site drains away at a very rapid rate. The site does not suffer from flooding from rain or tidal action, due to its elevation. Monitoring over

The large rocks blocked SH3 for almost 48hrs and a route detour through local council roads was required during this time. Two stock truck effluent disposal facilities have been built along the route, one in each of the regions – the Taranaki one at Ahititi on the northern

Down near the mouth, if the tide is coming in and the light’s just right on a fine autumn morning and there hasn’t been any rain for a day or two, the water is the deep, dark green of pounamu as it slides past the town. Upstream at the graceful Bertrand Road swing-bridge, it has the hues of a weak flat white coffee, and in Tarata country at Pūrangi Bridge, it’s army camouflage.

The newly capped area was starting to grow grass but was still largely uncovered and quite soft underfoot (waterlogged). The northern batter was inspected and found to have a minor amount of exposed rubbish where drainage works were undertaken. This should be attended to once the new cap has stabilised and been grassed over. There were some areas where there was some minor
