protected from stock damage.
25 June 2015
A follow-up inspection of the site was carried out in fine weather with calm wind
conditions, following heavy rain five days prior to the inspection. The inspecting
officer walked across the cap. It was noted that the cap was moist, but intact, with no
ponding observed. The stormwater diversion drain through the centre of the cap
showed evidence of overland flow, but no damage to the cap was noted. The grass
cover showed evidence of stock grazing, but

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
Ordinary Council Agenda October 2023
we are
conservatively forecasting port dividend returns
of $8m a year over the life of the LTP. Our
biggest financial risk is port dividends falling
below forecast levels. Any circumstance that
reduces the level of dividend will result in a
commensurate increase in the level of general
rates.
We intend utilising our Dividend Equalisation
Reserve, built up from years when dividends
exceeded forecasts. This fund will be drawn upon
to help minimise rates increases in the first few
An inspection was undertaken in calm, wet weather with light rain showers. Yard maintenance was required
in the form of sweeping, however there was no evidence of spills. The plant was not operating at the time
and no discharges to air were occurring. No odours were noted and ambient dust readings were within
allowable limits. The emissions stack testing had not yet been undertaken.
Overall, the site was compliant at the time of inspection.

Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with
the beach building process.
Active dunelands exist at some of the larger river mouths and dominate the

To also invest directly in the Kaitake Trail proper.
To complete outer tracks and a lookout at Pukeiti to complement the Taranaki Crossing.
To establish a family tramping hut within Pukeiti, as well as a new link to nearby commercial
accommodation.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR RATEPAYERS
The proposed direct contribution of $3.5 million to the Kaitake Trail is in the form of a grant. The Council will not
use rates to recover
taking Taranaki forward. Proposals over the coming six years are:
To complete the existing upgrade programme at Pukeiti, including the replacement Lodge, carpark
extension, landscaping, new features for children’s activities.
To complete a trail within Pukeiti to link to the Kaitake Trail being developed by the New Plymouth District
Council on a paper road down the coast, as an integral part of the Taranaki Crossing. This link would include
