owns the venue through the Taranaki Stadium Trust, said contractors had pulled out all the stops to get the roof done and dusted but the winter weather has meant the construction crew had been unable to complete this part of the project safely. “The team has worked very hard to get the roof installed in time for this season’s games but unfortunately the weather has not played ball. The project team had allowed for 25 rain days in the programme and the number of rain delay days to the project has
were used for pasture or pine plantations. Now, more than 80 years later, the forest covers the land once more. Pukeiti's rainforest tracks (ranging from 0.7km to 1.9km) take you through the regenerating rainforest with remnant pockets of mature forest and some ancient rimu trees. There are spectacular views of the Tasman Sea, and the Pouakai and Kaitake mountain ranges. Be prepared for possible changes in weather conditions. There are three unbridged streams that can be impassable after heavy
which discharges into the estuary which is close to Mōkau. Council Compliance Manager Jared Glasgow said six officers used booms to contain the spill while absorbent material was placed on the surface of the water to recover what had gone into the stream. The operation took place during difficult weather conditions. “Our staff worked until it went dark to remove the solidified bitumen which had settled in the stream. This work was vital as we were able to remove the product and reduce the leaching
peace of mind that the flood defences can withstand a major weather event.” The upgrade project is set to be completed by the end of March 2024 and most of the work will take place on the river side of the scheme so will not be visible to the public. There may be some minor traffic disruptions in the area as heavy machinery is moved around the site but that is unlikely to disrupt shoppers heading to The Valley. “We’re not expecting any major disruptions and action will be taken to minimise noise and
sediment loads, given the frequently wet weather patterns with intensive downpours. This all results in high levels of sediment movement in waterways in the region’s eastern hill country. However, it is uncertain how much this can be reduced with the implementation of sustainable land management practices despite around 70% of the Taranaki hill country already being indigenous vegetation, a further 10% in exotic forestry, and widespread uptake by farmers of farm management plans delivering sustainable
during fine weather conditions. Permanent warnings have been established at those sites with persistent water quality issues, such as Te Hēnui Stream at the river mouth and the Waimōku Stream mouth on Oākura Beach. The warmer temperatures and extended sunlight hours over summer also make for good conditions for cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) to form algal blooms. Ms Collins advises lake users to keep an eye out for green or brown particles in water, surface scum or green globules. In

It was a month of contrasts for the weather in Taranaki in January with a couple of weeks of cool, wet and windy conditions followed by dry and warmer weather and ending with huge downpours across the region. Rainfall was on average 193.5% of the long-term average, ranging from 89% at Kotare at O’Sullivans to 547% at Whanganui at Mataimona Trig. Rainfall was highest in the south-west ring plain area, and in the south and eastern parts of the hill country. Kaupokonui at Glenn Rd has already
and date of application, and the location and nature of any sensitive areas. Your records should also include weather conditions at the time of application, including wind speed and direction and any abnormal situation or incident. You will need to supply these details to the Council on request. You must meet all of these requirements. Otherwise, you will need a resource consent. Full details of the requirements can be found in the Regional Air Quality Plan and Regional Freshwater Plan. Applying
