in their performance, while the remaining two (<1%) achieved a rating of poor.
In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the last several
years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance remained at a similar level during the year
under review.
This report includes recommendations for the 2024/25 year.

Taranaki’s current swimmability rate is higher than most other North Island dairying regions and our projected gains from existing programmes and investments are the highest of any region in New Zealand, the Committee was told.

During the monitoring period the Company’s environmental performance was rated as ‘improvement
required’, but it received a ‘high’ rating for administrative performance, resulting in an overall rating of
‘improvement required’.
The Company holds five resource consents which include a suite of conditions setting out the requirements

ecotoxic. Based on this year’s results the stream would have received the lowest possible rating for E. coli

Over 4.3m plants have been supplied over the life of the programme.
