Oil Services Ltd. Water samples were collected for
physicochemical analysis on selected inspections.
During the period under review, Port Taranaki Ltd obtained a ‘good’ rating for environmental and ‘high
rating’ for administrative performance and compliance with the resource consents.
Suspended solids in two samples marginally exceeded the consent limits during first flush. This was due to
heavy rain conditions at times when log loading onsite was in full operation. There were no
diammonium
phosphate, or sulphate of ammonia but does not
include a compost, soil treatment or fertiliser that is
derived from plant or animal waste or residue and is
minimally processed (e.g. by being composted,
mixed, dried and pelleted).
What is the nitrogen cap?
The synthetic nitrogen cap applies to land in
pastoral land use. The application rate for a
contiguous landholding of synthetic nitrogen must
be no more than 190kg/ha/year:
to all that land, as
at the date that the asset is derecognised. The depreciation
charge for each period is recognised through the Statement of Financial Performance.
The carrying value is depreiated on a straight-line basis over its useful life. The useful life and associated depreciation rate for
the IRIS software suite is 10 years and 10%.
Where software in this category is replaced, upgraded or determined by RSHL to be of no further operational benefit, a change in
value will be recognised through the
significant
regional issues and infrastructure
improvements such as SH3 from New
Plymouth City north and Normanby
realignment.
Financial situation & forecast
The Council is in a very sound financial
position and that is expected to continue over
the medium term.
Strong balance sheet: Assets of approx $84
million with no external public debt he; t
Council’s balance sheet is expected to remain
strong, with no public debt.
Low rates increases: Average 1.3% for past
the Council to take
action on any environmental matter even if not explicitly addressed within a regional plan.
The analysis shows that the Council’s monitoring, liaison, and if needs be enforcement of
consents is very effective, achieving extremely high levels of compliance and low levels of
complaint. The average annual rate of non-compliance is barely more than 2%, or 8 events
per year. A very small number of consented sites are proving problematic; the Council
applies the full suite
closer to achieving sustainable development of the region’s resources.

District Council have indicated that they are offering no penalties on rates it has been
made clear to the public that this is only for the New Plymouth District Council portion of
their rates. Communication lines between the all the Taranaki councils are open and none
of the councils have indicated any issues.
