operational cost of Yarrow
Stadium is met by NPDC through rates funding. Over time growing utilisation
at Yarrow Stadium is projected to increase revenue, and while in some cases
increased event hosting will result in increased cost, reducing the operation
subsidy needed from the ratepayer is the goal.
Strategies through which this will be
achieved include:
• Develop a comprehensive business plan.
• Increase opportunities for commercial signage revenue and naming rights,

Rd landfill in 2009 and 2010 was over 61,000
tonnes per year which seems a lot and indeed
it is, but to many of us that amount is hard to
visualize. When we equate it to a per person
basis, it is 584 kilograms each. When we
compare that figure to the rate per person in
New Zealand of 790 kilograms per person we
are doing pretty well. It is expected that these
figures will decrease in the future through
waste minimisation initiatives. This landfill

Commentary/Highlights
Consent holders are assessed each year on their environmental performance and on consent compliance. The performance is
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 …

deterioration in rating is a result of the Council being required to undertake enforcement
actions during the 2015-2016 year in relation to unauthorised sewage discharges. In addition,
relates to leachate discharges from the sludge lagoon to groundwater at the WWTP, whereby
have resulted in elevated levels of contaminants the surface water and groundwater were

found to be contaminated being detected in groundwater and a surface water drain adjacent to
the lagoon. NPDC were
of any degree found to date. Surprisingly
and pleasingly, the number of sites showing improvement continues to be maintained at the
high levels of recent years, rather than begin to decrease as might generally be expected once
rates of improvement begin to flatten out.

the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the RFWP as the rate and daily volume of the groundwater abstraction might
exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48). 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
