this was due to nearby earthworks.
The analytical results of the gauging also showed that the levels of deposited metals were much lower than
allowed by the Department of Health (1992) guidelines for maximum annual application to agricultural land
of heavy metals (in sewage sludge).

Evaluation of performance
A tabular summary of the consent holder’s compliance record for the year under review is set out in
Table 8 and Table 9.

from a clean site would take 30-40 weeks in total.
We estimate that the total cost would be about $1.6 million plus GST, excluding
the cost of obtaining any consents necessary, although it is not anticipated that
consents would be a problem. This estimated cost is also based on the
assumption that any other contamination apart from asbestos would be quite
minor.
We consider that the above estimate of time and cost would be reasonably
accurate and we would be very pleased to supply
on how the energy sector can decarbonise. Melany Hunt, Nova Energy Stakeholder, Community and Sustainability Leader, says: “Nova Energy developed the Kapuni solar power plant to demonstrate that electricity generation, the environment, tangata whenua and agriculture can coexist in a sustainable win-win environment. It takes a village to build a successful power plant and Nova Energy could not have done it without help from the Kapuni community and tangata whenua.” Environmental Action in Water

3.1 Mr D R Harrison, Director - Operations, spoke to the
purpose of this hearing is to receive all the submissions, to hear those submitters
that wish to present their submissions and to consider any changes to the proposal
ahead of the Council considering a final proposal at its 21 September 2021 Ordinary
Meeting.
7. A number of the submissions are addressing matters of policy or principle that are
beyond the bounds of the current Local Electoral Act 2001 to address. In particular, the
formula for establishing how Māori constituencies are created
development policies: the New
Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS) is particularly directive towards protection of
the coastal environment and some submitters were concerned with how the needs of
regionally important infrastructure would be balanced against the need to protect
specific values. Council officers considered recent case law from Otago on the issue and
recommend minor changes, including a new policy, to better align with the National
Policy Statement on Electricity Transmission
it will likely not replicate it exactly when developing plans in other areas. The project was
straining on WRC’s capacity, as they estimate the collaborative process was as much as twice the cost
of the traditional consultative process, making WRC hesitant to repeat the process to the same extent
in the future. Council staff have also been exhausted by the intensive workload sustained over a
number of years and staff turnover (of scientists and consultants for example) has been

3. They shared with us how revealing this meeting was, in terms of how current consents are
supposed to operate, what obligations are placed on parties, and the rights of affected
parties. If we, and neighbours, had been aware of these much earlier, we believe that the
TRC would
