satisfactory
sealing of the new outfall. The evaluation of nineteen years of biomonitoring data has
highlighted a significant statistical temporal improvement in the biological ‘health’ of the
lower reaches of the Kurapete Stream, attributable to the removal of the continuous
discharge. The temporal trend has lessened in significance more recently, but stream
biological ‘health’ has been maintained at an improved level relative to pre-diversion
‘health’.

abstraction rates under normal and emergency conditions.
Condition 2 defines three take location alternatives.
Condition 3 limits the duration of abstraction for emergency or other purposes.
Condition 4 relates to best practicable option.
Conditions 5 to 10 relate to water metering and provision of records.
Condition 11 addresses intake screening for fish protection.
Condition 12 requires financial contribution to Council for providing riparian planting

Taranaki’s high volume of waterways has a significant impact on the land transport network, with most
intersections of road and river/stream requiring additional (expensive) infrastructure in the form of a
bridge or culvert. There are around 3,300 such intersections on the region’s roading network, with over
1,000 of these being bridges – which equates to having

improvements and overcome other problems with the sewerage reticulation system.
STDC holds a further coastal permit 4577, which allows for placing and maintaining
the outfall structure within the coastal marine area of Middleton Bay. This consent
expired on 1 June 2006 and was renewed in December 2005 for a period to June 2018.
Copies of the consents are included as Appendix I. Special

resource consents. An improvement was required in TPJ’s level of administrative performance as defined in
Section 1.1.5. The riparian planting required by the culverting consent (that also retrospectively covers
approximately 675 m of culverting) had fallen behind schedule during the year under review.
During the year, George Family demonstrated a good level of environmental and administrative
performance with their resource consent as defined in

The Committee was told that while riparian fencing and planting along with diversion of dairy effluent disposal to land will help to increase freshwater quality, variations in sampling results depend as much on weather conditions and river flows as they do on land-use practices.

3. Vegetated: Areas of vegetation (in a natural state or managed, indigenous
and/or exotic) such as pasture, crops, forest and scrub, riparian margins
of streams, lakes and wetlands, stands of TREES, SHELTER-BELTS or
gardens.
4. Production Orientated: Land uses of a predominantly ‘production’ orientated
nature such as farming and related farm storage sheds, stock yards, farm
animals and houses
