A 20 year timeframe provides the required certainty to
enable the upgrades to be investigated and undertaken
over time.
The proposed plant upgrades are aimed at improving the
effluent quality while remaining cost effective for the
rate payers. There is no requirement for upgrading the
plant capacity.
The timeframe of the upgrade stages are based on
economic considerations. The upgrades proposed are:

There are two levels of connectivity for the Taranaki

The high voltage national electrical transmission
system that covers both North and South Islands.
This system connects generation sources to local
substations and is operated by Transpower. The

Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder/s during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating
as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment from the activities during the monitoring year. Administrative
performance is concerned with the Company’s approach to demonstrating consent
compliance in site
housing affordability and housing development. The report also includes information on business land
and floor space.
Summary of findings:
We are expected to be a medium-high population growth district.
Residential Indicator Group 1: In general all the indicators in this group have increased with the
exception of the housing affordability measure. This leads us to believe that while the cost of
building or buying your first home has increased, it is less than the rate of

Historic occasion
heralds new future
Regional rates will remain virtually
unchanged under the 2017/2018 Annual
Plan adopted by the Taranaki Regional
Council.
“It’s pleasing that we will remain one of the
lowest-rating Councils in New Zealand,”
says the Council Chairman, David
MacLeod. “Our focus remains firmly on
ensuring our programmes and operations
are efficient and effective and of value to
the community,
for servicing the liability, with the aim of
avoiding the use of rate income.”
The story now: The inherited debt was largely
paid off by 1997, when the Council received
its first cash dividend from the port. Dividends
have since offset rates requirements, and the
Council also operates a dividend equalisation
fund, in which any dividends surplus to budget
are kept for when dividends are below budget.
Port Taranaki Ltd, meanwhile, reported its
highest-ever
determined using the p value (p < 0.05 = significant).
When multiple correlations are undertaken, there is a chance that some will be found
to be significant purely by chance. In order to deal with this potential problem, the
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) method was applied to the results
of the Man-Kendall test. Further justification for this statistical approach can be
found in Stark and Fowles (2006).
