Kaihihi Stream. The work has its origins in flood control measures taken
from the early 1990s along both the Stony River and Kaihihi Stream.
The scheme consists of guide banks and minor stopbanks, and rock lining of the riverbanks.
No formal level of protection has been calculated for the Ōkato Scheme. The assets are
maintained and instream works continue to prevent more frequent flooding.
A very large flood in either the Stony River or Kaihihi Stream does have the potential to

used to stabilise these areas, but poplars and willows
can be equally effective, provided there is still enough
soil left for them to establish.

Beside farm assets
Poplars and willows can be planted specifically to
protect farm assets. Examples are:
� Fences, where prone to slip damage
� Tracks, where prone to drop-outs
� Vehicle crossings, culverts and bridges
� Unstable ground, above or below farm buildings

Coastal Walkway, a shared use
walking and cycling facility along the coast of NP’s urban area.
Total Cost: $530,000 – Includes consultation, property, design, capital implementation costs and
operating costs for asset maintenance. Also includes NPDC staff time to administer and assist
with design and project management.
This project has a strong fit with safety and promotion of active modes by making the Coastal
Walkway safe and attractive for users.
Location: New Plymouth Coastal Walkway –

valuable asset for the people of Taranaki
g. In summary, my submission is to encourage the Taranaki Regional Council to see
the value that the Resource Consents provide to far more people than the
applicant and that placing onerous conditions on them is only likely to drive the
scheme away from viability, possibly leading to unwanted consequences.

Matters arising
It was noted that with the Public Transport Plan hearing and the Asset
Management Plans the meeting was long with a large agenda.
There were a number of themes with the Public Transport Plan hearing including
increasing the frequencies of buses on routes, keeping the fare cost as low as
possible, and alternative fuel transport options.

Request to vary the Regional Land Transport Plan for Taranaki 2015-2021
Purpose: To enable the Regional Transport Committee of the Taranaki
Regional Council to consider a request for a variation to the Regional
Land Transport Plan for Taranaki 2015-21 (RLTP).
Requesting organisation: Stratford District Council
Contact person/s: Stephen Bowden, Roading Asset Manager
Variation request: Add a new project – Brecon Road Extension,
These matters are outlined below.
Discussion
Proposal to ban new low/medium temperature coal boilers
15. The proposal is that emissions from new coal-fired assets for the generation of low and
medium temperature process heat should be prohibited, through a National
Environmental Standard (NES).
16. The rationale for the proposal is that the most stringent measures in the new policy
instruments should target coal, as the highest emitter of GHG. A fuel type-based
approach is seen
decision to halt the permitting of future oil
and gas exploration (in response to its climate change aspirations), it is widely
recognised that Taranaki’s energy sector will need to transition away from
carbon-intensive towards low emissions energy sources.
Efforts have begun in Taranaki – and across New Zealand – to transition our
economy to low emissions. Taranaki has existing assets to help drive new
clean energy innovations. These include high-quality energy infrastructure,
