and subtidal habitats. 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

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 a treetop canopy walk across a rain forested
a treetop canopy walk across a rain forested valley. 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
threshold without affecting the assigned attribute state. The Council’s existing monitoring programme only collects chlorophyll a once a year, during summer (worst case flow conditions). Therefore, a comparison against the new attribute’s standards cannot be made. An analysis to compare with the new NoF guideline is presented below, for indicative purposes only. It should be noted that since the Council is sampling under worst-case conditions, then clearly if such a result falls into an A, B, or
