predictions are made at the scale of the overall lake.
Uncertainty is a component of any freshwater monitoring or modelling. For example, river flows and levels
fluctuate throughout the day, and nutrient levels will vary depending on how much rainfall and runoff is
occurring. Pathogens and algae will grow in response to a range of factors, such as temperature, light and
river flow. This uncertainty is described in terms of ‘confidence’. For example, how certain it is that water
quality is
than the soil can hold, this only results in
unnecessary costs and wastage. The only reliable way of knowing how much irrigated water can be stored in
the soil at the time of irrigation is by measuring soil moisture.

By measuring the soil moisture the irrigator can be more certain that:

does not prescribe attributes for environmental flows nor is it compulsory to develop any. It prescribes the
overall design framework, including details of how the regime must be expressed in plans, but leaves flexibility
for councils to use their own methods in determining what their regime is, and how the flows and levels will
be set. Flows and levels also have a direct influence on outcomes for a wide range of other attributes. Hence,

2.1.1 Inspections
The first compliance monitoring inspection was completed on 21 September 2016. A newly installed
lamprey baffle was checked and found to meet the specifications of the consent, although it won’t improve
lamprey passage as much as intended. This is because of the sharp angle where the edge of the baffle
meets the weir, and also the depth of water at the time lamprey typically migrate.

Dairying in Taranaki is well-established
and stable, in contrast to widespread dairy
conversions in other regions. This region's
milking cow numbers have changed little
over the past 15 years and at 493,361,
account for 10% of the national herd—
down from nearly 15% in 1998/1999.

Executive summary
The New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) operates a regional landfill located on Colson Road, New
and the release of a Draft Plan. Early engagement with stakeholders has
generally paid dividends for this Council in reducing the time and cost of the formal plan
process under the RMA and further developing relationships with stakeholders. The pre-
plan consultation resulted in many changes to the proposed plan, including those made as a
result of iwi consultation.
The Proposed Plan was also forwarded to a wide range of key stakeholders and other
interested parties including those who had
Land Transport Plan
All of the above plans will feed into the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP). This is prepared by the Taranaki Regional Council and is a strategic document that provides direction to land transport in the region and sets out how the region proposes to invest to achieve its objectives. The public will be consulted about the RLTP between February to March 2024 before we hold hearings on the plan in April 2024. An important role of this document is asking for co-investment from
