that established more recently for the NOF guideline and therefore results cannot be directly translated to
NOF bands. The Council is now also conducting a NOF-aligned periphyton monitoring programme.
Long-term trends in periphyton cover have been analysed using a combination of the Mann-Kendall

Inspection visits typically comprised of:
• a visual inspection of the abstraction bore, production pipework monitoring equipment and
associated infrastructure; and
• obtaining manual measurements of groundwater levels in the abstraction and monitoring bores and
retrieving electronic data.
To monitor the exercising of consent 7470-1.2, abstraction volume and rate data are recorded electronically
at the site by a data logging system and transferred to the Council via telemetry,

performance and a good level of administrative performance. There were seven incidents
logged in regards to exceedance of abstraction rates by STDC plants, however these all were
found to be caused by operational events, such pump starts, air in the flow meters, and data
handling errors rather than actual non-compliances and/or sustained abstraction exceedances.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Council finished the 2017/2018 year with a surplus
of $962,000 (total comprehensive income). Total
expenditure was $26.6m. Overall it was a good result,
noting that the general rates increases have been at or
below the rate of inflation for the past few years (a 1%
general rates increase in 2017/2018). The Council’s
balance sheet remains very strong, with no public debt.

receiving minimal industrial waste loadings. No significant impacts on the Kaupokonui River were recorded
from the physicochemical parameters analysed during the mid-summer survey conducted in January 2020,
when a moderately high discharge rate of well-treated wastewater characterised this system. No impacts of
the effluent discharge were indicated by MCI scores through the reach of the river surveyed.
