resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction might exceeded that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject

their two facilities located on the Waitara and Pennington Roads, while environmentally,
improvement is required at RNZ’s Mokau Road facility at Uruti, though there administration
was rated as good.
For reference, in the 2015-2016 year, 71% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through
tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental
performance and compliance with their consents, while another 24% demonstrated a good

than is a predicted by RNZ's OVERSEER analysis.20 This, together with
groundwater results, suggests the irrigated wastewater is draining to

Modifications to traps may be required to prevent moisture from urine or the environment
contacting animals. Edgar traps might also be considered in the future for easily accessible
areas, as these have nest boxes attached (although they are much heavier and more difficult
to deploy). Also, to minimise the time an animal spends in the trap, checking traps later in …

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for their 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

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holder
during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as to the Company’s environmental and
administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with
current year. They also generate 319 full-time equivalent jobs
(FTEs).
The Port’s important enabling role can be seen from the estimates that its users and
service providers are likely to generate $353 million in Value Added (GDP) the current year,
and 929 FTEs.
The Port also plays an important role in other ways. It facilitate the imports and exports
of the Region’s industries, the dividends it pays help to keep the Regional rates burden in
check, and it sponsors and supports
