This programme has no equal in New Zealand and is transforming
the region’s landscape as well as protecting and enhancing
waterway quality. The rate of implementation of riparian work is
accelerating and to date, farmers have completed 3,558km of new
fencing and 1,766km of new riparian planting. In total, 80% of
stream banks are fenced and 65% of streambanks are vegetated.
The Taranaki Regional Council has a comprehensive
planted
if Atrazine, Simazine, or Carragard are also
applied. Atrazine and Carragard have proved
unsafe with seedlings raised in peat pots.
Release spraying of trees will normally be
necessary 4-6 months after planting. Young
container-grown seedlings of some Eucalyptus
species can be affected by even low rates of
Carragard and extreme care is required when
using this chemical not to exceed 3 kg/ha active
ingredient (terbumeton and terbuthylazine).
Simazine at 1.5 kg/ha a.i. appears to be safe on
for a further four years.
4.2 It was clarified that Council would require two additional staff in the 2020/2021
financial year. This is covered by the funding received and not rates funded.

Executive, Audit and Risk Committee Meeting Monday 16 September 2019
Recommended
THAT the Taranaki Regional Council:
a) receives this report on participation in STRESS-3 for a further
improvement in the Trust’s environmental and administrative performance is required. During the year
under review inadequate maintenance of the treatment systems on the discharges resulted in a breach of
the suspended solids limit on the consent. The unauthorised discharges caused a conspicuous change in the
visual clarity of the tributary below the site. An abatement notice was issued and re-inspection found that
the abatement notice had been complied with. Ratings are as defined in Section 1.1.4.
don’t panic! If officers suspect possums are
greater than a 10% catch rate (or 10 possums caught in
100 traps) you may be issued with a Notice of Direction.
This is a formal legal document that may seem a bit scary
but essentially it’s a formal reminder that you need to
undertake control by a set date. We then re-check to
make sure numbers have reduced. If they haven’t you
will have failed to comply and further action can be
taken.

WW noted that those projects that are important (rated high priority) will get
enhanced FAR - between base FAR and 100% depending on each AO. Low
cost/low risk projects (under $1m) aren’t included.
VL noted advanced FAR – do it now (only available for this NLTP period).
SH noted that an end of life structure would more likely gain a high rating.
SB suggested safety or access related projects would be key strategies on GPS –
advanced FAR.
CW confirmed the Bell Block to

Aligned"), or were unaligned (titled “A7: Entries Unaligned"); and
(e) A graph showing daily windspeed compared with diary entries with
an intensity rating of greater than 0 titled “A8: Windspeed and Odour
Entries”.
14 A substantial portion of entries recording odour (44%) were identified as not
being aligned with conditions conducive to odour propagation from the site.
Most often this was due to the entries being made while the observation
address
discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders,
this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review.
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 operations
