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 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 by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or by
fishing expeditions,
and no surprises all the aunts had their special fishing places too - the
pear tree, the quince, the apple tree, the wire, the papa, to name a few.

noise or let our shadow fall on the water, where the net was. What was
caught was shared among whanau as this was a welcome customary
practice. It doesn't seem that long ago. Back then the mud wasn't

and reduced significantly from 2015 when all three
district councils aligned their recycling collection services
and created a regional materials recovery facility in New
Plymouth to process recyclables. In 2014, the waste to
landfill in the region per person was 595kg falling to 311kg
per person in 2020-2021.
In Stratford and South Taranaki, there has been additional
climber, the longfin eel can climb steep falls and is found in almost
all of New Zealand’s waterways from sea level to 1150m altitude and up to
314km inland. Habitats include streams, rivers, wetlands and lakes.
Juveniles prefer shallow fast-flowing water with coarse substratum, while
adults are more common under the cover of river banks or large debris in
slower flowing water.

monitoring bore GND2103 varied in
response to abstraction from GND2010. When abstraction volumes increase over the summer months the
groundwater levels fall in response and during the winter months, when abstraction decreases, the
groundwater levels recover.
In summary, groundwater level monitoring data gathered by the Council does not indicate any long-term
reduction in shallow or deep groundwater levels as a result of the abstraction authorised by consent 7470-

contaminants. Only a pilot flare was operating. The
API separator and all bunds and ring drains were clear. Everything was satisfactory.
1 November 2012
The site was inspected during fine weather with no significant rain having occurred for
a week or more. The skimmer pits were clear and not discharging. The ring drains were
free of contaminants and a frog was in residence at the top end of the drain. Some
flaring was being undertaken, but this was very minor and no downwind effects were
noted. The

(a) It does not fall into a state of disrepair and continues to function effectively for the

coastal environment, regardless of the activity to be authorised and which coastal
management area the activity may fall within. Policy 33 must therefore be read in
conjunction with each of the other relevant policies, including all the General Policies.
Together these policies address the matters covered in the

Banded kokopu are primarily a lowland species but can penetrate up to
180km inland, and to elevations of 550m. This has allowed them to
establish some landlocked populations in lakes in central New Zealand.
They are exceptional climbers and can scale steep falls to reach higher
catchments.
Preferred habitats
for adult banded
kokopu are small

There are eight iwi whose rohe or tribal area falls
