4g/m2/30 days deposition rate guideline, with only 28% of all the gaugings collected in the
airshed as a whole exceeding this guideline. There were three gauging locations, one in the
vicinity of each of Fitzroy Engineering Group Limited, 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
Katere Surface Coatings

Stormwater from the site continued to be diverted to containment ponds, with the stormwater batch released
after quality checks. Sample results for the discharge samples collected by the Council were within those
prescribed by consent conditions.
Particulate deposition from air emissions was, in general, similar to the previous monitoring periods. At the
monitoring site west of the plant site the lactose deposition rate was found to be 7% over the guideline

The $20m 'shovel-ready' grant to the Yarrow Stadium
repair and refurbishment project is great news for the
region and its ratepayers, who can expect a reduction of
just over 40% in their Yarrow Stadium rates from July
2021.
Works were put on hold during the lockdown while we
conducted a thorough review of the project in the light
of changing circumstances. The review gave us a clearer
understanding of the stadium's prospects.
Work on the project began ramping up again shortly after
