• Inflation has had a large impact, with cut backs in place to ensure rate payers are
not having to pay extra. Low cost low risk programmes have been deferred.
• The coastal walkway extension has had all Iwi informed with handover to follow
soon.
• An incident occurred involving a tree falling in Ōakura, resulted in NPDC being
found liable for the damage due to the tree’s position and

b) provided feedback to the Chief Executive on the initial 2024/2034 Long-Term Plan:
Financial Strategies and Policies
c) noted that the Financial Strategies and Policies will be included in the
consultation documents for the 2024/2034 Long-Term Plan
d) noted that some these policies and strategies will need be updated dependent
upon the decisions on the key issues to be consulted upon in the 2024/2034 Long-
Term Plan
e) noted that the rates remission and postponement
charge-out rate is used to
calculate the value of the professional service. This is to capture the true cost of the staff’s time when
working on an activity. The scale of charges for staff time is set through the Council’s Long Term Plan
and updated each year through the Annual Plan.
These professional services are managed through the Council’s internal procedures. Refer Section 14
for additional details.

For reference, in the 2022-2023 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 878 (87%) of a total of 1007 consents monitored through the Taranaki
tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 96 (10%) of the consents a good level of environmental
performance and compliance was achieved. A further 27 (3%) of consents monitored required improvement
in their performance, while the remaining one (<1%) achieved a rating of poor.

inspections, sixteen water
samples collected for physicochemical analysis and three biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters. In
addition, monthly emission results and abstraction records were provided to the Council by the Company
which were reviewed.
The monitoring showed that the Stratford Power Station continued to be well managed with negligible
environmental effects as a result of the exercise of their consents.
Surface water abstraction was compliant with daily rate and volume. Process
consents for discharges from mobile abrasive
blasting around the region. All of the consents include a set of conditions which impose ‘bottom-line’
requirements that minimise adverse environmental effects from the discharges. Through the monitoring
programme the Council assess compliance with these conditions.
During the monitoring year the Council conducted two deposition gauge surveys to quantify the rate of
dust deposition beyond the site boundaries to determine if the dust caused
two consents to discharge effluent and stormwater into the Waingongoro River, two
consents to discharge effluent and solids to land, two consents for structures in watercourses, and one
consent to discharge emissions into the air at the plant site.
Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction
rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent
loadings and soil and herbage for
