floodways filters sediment from surface
runoff but also keeps it in temporary
storage, reducing flood capacity. Drainage
of wetlands leads to clearance of swamp
vegetation, important for flood storage and
also for removal of nutrients like nitrogen
from emerging groundwater.
Removal of native riparian vegetation
destroys habitats for wildlife, depletes food
and shelter for freshwater fisheries,

District Plan Hearing process. The FUZ is a transitional zone which
enables land to be used for a range of general rural activities. It provides for the
district’s long term land supply. The FUZ cannot be used for urban activities until
the site is re-zoned for urban purposes and meets the strong policy directives of
the zone.

upstream of the discharge. The flow of 0.94 m3/s recorded in the lower reaches of the river (TRC Glenn Road
recorder) was well below the average February mean monthly flow (1.53 m3/s) but above the minimum
February mean monthly flow (0.68 m3/s) for the period 1978 to 2020.

5.1 The Council expects that this application will include a ‘Stormwater Management Plan’. This plan is
to detail how the site and any stormwater treatment facility is managed to minimise, as far as
practicable, the contaminants that become entrained in the stormwater and are subsequently

Oaonui, in the Oaonui catchment. Water is abstracted from the stream via a gravity fed intake situated
behind a large weir. The water flows via a settling pond to a small treatment shed where it is chlorinated
before being distributed to rural customers. At least once per day, the intakes are sluiced to clear
accumulated sediment.
