1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by NPDC, this report
also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
review.

ratepayers are contributing to the big effort
too. Taranaki Regional Council support for the Riparian
Management Programme costs around $1 million of rates
each year in recognition of the wider public benefits derived
from efforts to maintain or improve the region’s water quality.

me in summer months when the power
station was operating that the residual flow of 180 litres/second
was too low to maintain water quality. In the hottest months of
summer fish kills have been observed in the lower river due to
high water temperatures and low oxygen levels I suspect. I
rarely fish the lower river in summer because of this. I
personally think that the residual flow for the lower river needs
to be at least double the 180 litre/second rate and probably
closer to 400 litres per

situation
Taranaki coastline (Figure 3) is exposed to the west, and as a consequence, high energy
wave and wind conditions dominate the coastal environment. There are few areas of sheltered
water beyond the estuaries, such as those of Tongaporutu, Waitara and Pātea rivers, and the
confines of Port Taranaki.
Almost the entire Taranaki coastline is subject to varying rates of natural erosion – from waves
and wind. This has resulted in a predominantly cliffed coastline (approximately 90% of the
