Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two conditions: • The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering of static water-level by interference with any adjacent bore; • The abstraction shall not cause the intrusion of saltwater into any fresh water aquifer.

New Plymouth is the dominant city in the region (with two-thirds of regional population), with a network of rural service towns. Taranaki Region’s population reached 124,600 people in 2020. Between 2000 and 2020 the region’s population grew by 0.8% per annum, a lower rate than national

parameters monthly at 77 river sites around New Zealand (Smith, et al, 1989). The programme includes three sites in Taranaki (Figure 1); one upper/mid catchment site (Manganui River at State Highway 3, incorporating some farm land area) and two lower catchment sites (Waitara River at Bertrand Road and Waingongoro River at State Highway 45). Using data collected in the NWQN since 1989, NIWA scientists have analysed trends over time for a number of parameters at the Taranaki sites and have rated
have analysed trends over time for a number of parameters at the Taranaki sites and have rated them relative to other New Zealand rivers (McBride, 1996, TRC, 2003 and TRC, 2009). Water quality has been relatively stable at the Waitara River site compared with national trends and, not surprisingly, water quality remains high at the upper/mid catchment Manganui River site. A deterioration in aspects of water quality has occurred at the site in the lower reaches of the Waingongoro River over

part of that invoice is in dispute. 2.3 If the Customer fails to make payment to the Council in accordance with the payment instructions on the invoice within the due date for payment, the Council may charge interest on the unpaid sum noted in the invoice at a rate of 12% per annum for the period between the due date for payment and the date of actual payment. If payment of the invoice (and any interest amounts) remains unpaid, the Council may in its discretion and on reasonable notice

offensive to Taranaki Iwi, the proposed activities include discharges to rivers and the coastal marine area. These discharges represent a continuation of the existing discharge regime, which are to be considered to be adequately performing with a rating of “good”. This is not sufficient in Taranaki Iwi’s view. 14. Based on the background, policies, values and potential effects set out in this submission, Taranaki Iwi oppose the scheme in principle but support the
rodents and possums in urban areas where there is co-ordinated pest control. Monitored bush reserves in New Plymouth with regular rodent control recently achieved a monitoring rate of less than 10% (rodent tracking rate). Although there is still work to do, this is considerably lower than the 40-50% regularly recorded in small rural bush remnants (<50ha), or the over 75% recorded in large areas of contiguous bush (>300ha) without effective rat control. Rat abundance in
