considerations justify otherwise. The representation of the Stratford and South Taranaki
constituencies falls outside the stipulated range. The Council considers that the Stratford Constituency
warrants one member and the South Taranaki Constituency warrants three members for the following
reasons:
• the proposed representation reflects the status quo (with only minor proposed boundary changes),
which is well understood and accepted by the regional community.
• the constituency boundaries are

1.3.1.1 Waingongoro River
The Company holds water permit 0596-3 to take water from the Waingongoro River
for operation of an ammonia/urea plant. This consent was issued by the Council on
31 August 2012 under Section 87 (d) of the RMA. It is due to expire on 1 June 2035.
There are fifteen special conditions attached to this
stock access to
streams as a probable primary contributor to these elevated numbers although the
cumulative impacts of consented dairy pond discharges also contribute, particularly
under lower flow conditions]. Water temperatures varied over a moderate range of
7.8°C with a maximum (mid-morning) temperature of 17.4°C in February 2014
during a period of very low flow conditions. Dissolved oxygen saturation did not fall
below 88% during the period, with this minimum recorded under a period of

of the cliffs. As this coastal area is considered ’high energy’, and also that there is
only a very narrow strip of beach (at low tide only), any waters emerging from the cliff would be swiftly
mixed and dispersed. Any effects on groundwater quality or coastal water quality would be negligible. In
general, the creation of stable interlocked layers of green waste ensures that it does not fall off, or get
blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine area or into the sea.

indicated that all discharges had occurred when the river flow was above the
consented 5 m³/s.
The Waiongana Stream hydrology displays a natural rapid rise and fall (typical of Taranaki ring plain
streams) which allows for a limited window of opportunity when treated wastewater can be discharged
above the minimum consent limit. The consent holder has access to the Taranaki Regional Council web site
(www.trc.govt.nz), which provides current river flow and water levels for the Waiongana Stream
