surplus of $761,000 (total
comprehensive income). Expenditure was $777,000 below
budget while revenue was $238,000 above budget. This was
a good result, noting that general rates had been raised by
around 1.5% for each of the previous two years, which is
well below inflation levels. The Council’s balance sheet
remains very strong with no public debt.
We gratefully acknowledge the efforts and achievements of
Council staff during the year, ably governed by a team of
Councillors providing

regional plan requirements. The non-
compliance rate for failure to meet resource consent
conditions was 6.6% for dairy farms, a small change from the
previous year. The Council will continue to monitor farm
dairy effluent systems closely to ensure compliance with the
Council’s requirements.
Complementing the agricultural monitoring programme, the
Council inspected 221 minor industrial operations in
2013/2014. Minor industries include agricultural services,

STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION
The Council finished the 2015/2016 year with a surplus
of $963,000 (total comprehensive income). Expenditure
was $373,000 over budget, in large part due to the
Council providing unbudgeted emergency funding to
assist those in need following the severe winter storm
damage. Overall it was a good result, noting that
general rates increases have been at or below the rate
of inflation

also installed within the vicinity of the production bore to monitor the effects of the abstraction

1 Introduction
Currently, the minor taking and use of surface and groundwater in the Taranaki region is
a Permitted Activity within the Taranaki Regional Council’s Regional Freshwater Plan
[“Plan”], subject to various conditions relating in the main to abstraction flow rates and
daily volumes (refer Appendix One).
NZ’s medium projection for births and deaths, and the high projection rate for net migration.
This reflects improving economic circumstances in the region, resulting in job creation and inward
migration patterns. Birth and death rates are likely to be substantially accurate given that they reflect
existing trends and there is little likelihood of step-changes in the rates. This population projection
covers the entire district, including rural areas.

The expired consent specified a maximum take of 3900 L/s but there is no metering of the take rate so compliance with this condition has never been monitored. We assume that his limit is based on the
