generally consistent. Ongoing natural character
effects will vary between Neutral and Moderate adverse across the various river reaches depending on the
presence of structures, the resultant modified flow rates and associated ecological conditions. Within Lake
Mangamahoe the ongoing natural character effects are considered to be Low beneficial due to the water and
lake margin vegetation creating a valued ecological habitat that offsets the man-made nature of the lakebed,
presence of structures and
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 consent holder over the last several
years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance remains at a high level.

maintenance of minimum residual flows,
provision of abstraction records and all other general conditions of their consent(s).
Monitoring found the majority of takes being well managed and operating within relevant consent
conditions during the 2021-2022 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
such as total nitrogen, total phosphorus, ammonia and
chlorophyll-a. The spatial water quality attribute models were variable in performance however, with the
exception of the ammonia criteria, those utilised for this assessment were rated to have satisfactory to very
good performance (Snelder et al. 2022). Caution is advised when interpreting absolute values estimated for
specific locations with spatial water quality models, due to the associated uncertainty. Models such as these
to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.
1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental performance and administrative compliance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders,
this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and
their resilience too, and as a
region, we’ll continue to rise to the challenge.

The bottom line
The changing environment has impacted our budget with spending now forecast to be $46.8m (compared with
$45.2m signalled in the 2021/2031 Long-Term Plan). As a result, general rates will move from the proposed 5.5%
to 7.9% for 2022/2023, which for most ratepayers will be less than $20 per annum extra. Targeted rates remain
consistent with those
