compliance with its resource consents during the period under review.
During the monitoring period Ample Group Limited demonstrated a good level of environmental
performance, but received an ‘improvement required’ rating for administrative performance, resulting in
an overall rating of ‘improvement required’.
The Company holds five resource consents which include a suite of conditions setting out the requirements
that the Company must comply with to minimise adverse effects to the
consents monitored required improvement
in their performance, while the remaining one (<1%) achieved a rating of poor.
In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the last several
years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance remains at a high level.
This report includes recommendations for the 2023-2024 year.

Comments and Recommendations
Option 1 was the Council’s preferred option. The regional community was evenly
split between the two options. If the Council were to move to Option 2, this would
result in an increase in budgets of $360,000 which would result in the increase in
total rates moving from 16.32% to 18.23%. It is recommended that Option 1 be
adopted and included in the 2024/2034 Long-Term Plan.
Recommendations:
That the Taranaki Regional
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.
In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the Company over
majority of takes being well managed and operating within relevant consent
conditions during the 2022-2023 period. The Council was required to enter three incidents in relation to
irrigation consents over this period, with all non-compliances deemed sufficiently minor not to warrant
further action from Council. The overall rate of non-compliance across all exercised consents was 7%, which
was the same as that seen during the 2021-2022 period.
During the 2022-2023 year, 93% of exercised
demonstrated good compliance with rise and recession rate restrictions for the lower Pātea River. The
Company provided adequate residual flows within the Pātea River at all times.
The Company continues to have issues with the timely provision of reports required by consents, likely in
part due to the complex and significant monitoring and reporting requirements. However, with ongoing
liaison by the Council during the year under review there was an improvement by the Company and all draft
reports
