Regional rates outlook stable
The Taranaki Regional Council has signalled
essentially no change in rates next year
despite plans to expand some programmes.
The Council’s draft budget for 2015/2016
envisages an overall decrease of $34,594, or
a little over a
(chlorophyll a 200
mg/m2) from 2025 onwards. The Council’s long-established chlorophyll a sampling protocol differs from
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
technique, a 5% significance level, and a Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate …
with parameters typical of a municipal oxidation pond system
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.
During the year, STDC …

the decisions made, the updated 2017/2018 Annual Plan will then be adopted. It is proposed
to set the rates for 2017/2018 at the 27 June 2017 Ordinary Meeting.

been considered and documented in the preparation of this agenda item. The
recommendations made in this item comply with the decision-making obligations of the Act.

Trend analysis was performed by applying a LOWESS fit (tension 0.4) to a time scatterplot
of the percentage cover of thick mats, and long filaments of periphyton for all sites and by
testing the significance of any trend using the Mann-Kendall test at the 5% level, followed by
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) analysis.
The results for the SEM nuisance periphyton programme during the 2014/2015 monitoring
year showed that five sites breached nuisance

Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction
rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent
loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections …
