• It was noted that there has been a loss of work being completed due to increased
wet weather days this year, with some sealing being deferred with water main
works planned.
• The Ahititi stock effluent site is complete and operating. Discussions with NPDC
will be held for prospects of an MOU.
• The Tongapōrutu slip has been identified as an emergency work site. The high risk
of the road being completely damaged could cause a potential cut off for the
region. A

remained forested while others were used for pasture
or pine plantations. Now, more than 80 years
later, the forest is covering the land once more.
Pukeiti’s Rainforest tracks take you through this
regenerating rainforest with remnant pockets of
mature forest and some ancient rimu trees. There are
spectacular views of the Tasman Sea, the Pouakai and
the Kaitake mountain ranges.

is 10 L/s. However as a result of stormwater inputs to the pond, the discharge
rate from the pond to the Mangorei Stream will be highly variable as it is dependent on weather conditions.
The size of the pond will allow storage for a 10% annual exceedance event (AEP) event. The maximum
discharge rate from the pond during large rainfall events is 1,060 L/s as this is dictated by the size of the

highway at restricted speeds is to try overcome some of the issues that are being
experienced with resealing, as traffic is being used to do a lot of the rolling, in differing
weather conditions speeds need to be reduced to allow the works to be ‘bed in’.

8 Congratulations to Fitzroy Beach Holiday Park managers
Jenn and Damian O’Connell, who are our trappers of the
month for October!
Jenn and Damian feel lucky to live in such a special place and
believe it’s important to do their part to look after it, as well
as
year-round monitoring and
compliance, even at times when it would
be foolhardy to swim because of weather
and/or dangerous currents and flows,
imposes significant costs but with little
purpose or community benefit.
� Proposed broad-brush national
requirements for excluding stock from
waterways fall short of what is actually
required to reduce faecal contamination,
and risk undermining successful and
proven local initiatives such as Taranaki’s
award-winning riparian
ones on March 22, April 29 and
May 24. We hope many of you will be
able to attend at least some of these days.
Working bees start at 9:00am from the
Staff Quarters but late-comers are
always welcome.
