publicly reported. Overall ratings for consent holders in the 2018/2019 year were found to be 83% ‘high’ and 13% ‘good’.
Council reporting of individual 2018/2019 programmes is proceeding satisfactorily. A number of individual programmes had
been merged for efficiency in 2017/2018, so while monitoring activities have increased overall, the number of programmes
shows a reduction from previous years. There are additional ad hoc programmes for hydrocarbon
utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the

Why do we need to control introduced predators?
New Zealand has the highest rate of threatened species in the world. Around 81% of our birds,
88% of our reptiles and 72% of our freshwater fish are endangered. Most of our native species are
not found anywhere else in the world.
New Zealand has extraordinary
99.5% of Taranaki’s dairy farmers. Over 4.3m plants have
been supplied over the life of the programme.

generally high rate of compliance with consent conditions across all

lower shed temperature reduces the rate at which
odours are released. It also reduces microbial activity,
which is a significant cause of odour. When shed
temperatures are being optimised, these factors should
be considered.
bb) Contingency planning
To safeguard against the consequences of a high
mortality situation, a contingency plan for the rapid
disposal of very large numbers of birds should be
prepared e.g. access to off site incineration or prior
