The engineers, designers and architects involved in this project, were unable to identify a viable cheaper option between options 1 and 2. General Funding Questions 31. A number of submitters infer or claim the increase in rates to pay for the repair and updates is on top of the rates already being levied for the stadium. This is incorrect. Existing rating mechanisms end and have been incorporated into the proposed rating system. 32. Some submitters have argued for
some minor issue in regards to abstraction rates during the brief intermittent periods of low flow restrictions in the Patea River, however, no environmental effects were noted. During the year, SDC demonstrated a high level of environmental performance. However SDC demonstrated a poor level of administrative performance due to the fact, that despite repeated reminders by Council staff, renewal applications for the weirs in the Konini Stream and Patea River, and for the backwash discharge
longer periods rather than at high rates for short periods. The filter is backwashed once per week to a series of two soak holes. The capacity of the soak holes is more than adequate to deal with the volumes of backwash which they receive. 1.3. Resource consents SDC holds various resource consents for the water supply plants and structures that it operates, including water abstraction permits, discharge permits and land use consents. These consents are listed in Table 1 and

One aspect of a LTP is to set out public transport activities and funding sources for the next ten years Taranaki 2050 Roadmap In August 2019, Taranaki launched a co-designed Roadmap for how the region will transition to a low-emissions economy by 2050. A collaborative process has
Predator-Free project, the ambitious region- wide campaign launched in May 2018. Monitoring data shows this intensive predator control may already be making a difference – rats and possums in urban New Plymouth are decreasing, while the trapping network in rural and urban areas is expanding rapidly. Monitoring, using rat footprint tracking and a possum bite-mark index, show catch rates have dropped; rats went from 33 per cent to 19 percent over the year, while the urban New Plymouth
“TRC SEM” samples1 analysed exceeded the 4g/m2/30 days deposition rate guideline, with only 26% of all the gauges collected in the airshed as a whole exceeding this guideline. There were two gauging locations, one in the vicinity of each of Ravensdown Fertiliser Co-operative Limited and Katere Surface Coatings Limited, where the guideline was exceeded at the time of both surveys. The highest result obtained during the year under review was one of the Downer EDI Works Limited gauges, which was

All of these facilities are situated on land at the Airport designated within the District Plan. Average annual passenger growth rate is anticipated to be 5% per annum and in the period from 2018 to 2038 air passenger volume through New Plymouth is expected to grow from 430,000 to 1,200,0001. A new terminal building is currently under

Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the …
consents as defined in Section 1.1.4. The data and reporting requirements of the consent 0231-4 were not met within the set timeframe and it is further noted that given the current position of the flow meter, the rate of abstraction is not accurately being measured due to the reservoir between the flow meter and point of abstraction. Whilst Council is satisfied that meter is recording volumes of water consumed by the scheme, it is not able to measure the rate at which water is being abstracted from
