studies undertaken in the late 1980s by
the Taranaki Catchment Commission showed that the entire Taranaki coastline is eroding at
long term average rates between 0.05 m/year and 1.89 m/year with exceptions at the Patea
and Stony (Hangatahua) river mouths where the coast was accreting. Erosion rates differ at
different locations, primarily due to differences around the coast in geology, coastal
orientation, proximity to river mouths and matters such as dune management.

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 administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by NPDC, this report
also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
review.

The stormwater system was upgraded to a first flush catch system, aimed at reducing the concentration of
contaminants entering the firepond.
The dilution rate of the wastewater discharge to the Inaha Stream was compliant for the duration of the
discharge (101 days). The analysis of the oxygen and the sodium absorption ratio of the wastewater was
compliant when assessed.
The application of wastewater to land was limited to below 250 kg N/ha across all irrigation paddocks,

were low and estuaries were open to the sea, estuaries had minimal vulnerability. Charac-

extensive areas of soft fine muddy sediments. The expression of such symptoms was vari-

THAT the Taranaki Regional Council:
a) receives and acknowledges, with thanks, the submissions forwarded in response
to the Consultation Document on the 2019/2020 Annual Plan
b) confirms a nil general rates change for 2019/2020
c) reconfirms the vision for Yarrow Stadium as:
The best regional stadium in New Zealand
committed to returning Yarrow Stadium to operational capability as soon as
reasonably possible. We believe the region deserves no less. Our preferred option is to repair the stands and
update some of the facilities at the same time (Option 2). We’d need to borrow up to $55 million, which would
be repaid over 25 years from a targeted rate that would vary according to constituency. Households would pay
$51 to $76 a year, depending on location.
For another $14 million we could also incorporate
