performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through the

mildly eutrophic (mildly nutrient enriched). However, taking into account the influence of suspended
sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately
mesotrophic. Previous trending of these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in
trophic level. Updated trend analysis, for the period 1990-2018, reconfirmed the rate of increase in trophic

and presented for adoption at the Council’s Ordinary Meeting on 18 May 2021. It is
proposed to set the rates for 2021/2022 at the same Ordinary Meeting.
Options
9. At this stage of the process, there is only one viable option being the consideration
satisfied with the region’s three bus
services – the Connector, North Taranaki’s
Citylink network and South Taranaki’s
Southlink - provided by the Taranaki Regional
Council.
The overwhelming support came from a
representative group of passengers, about 130
residents, who were surveyed and rated each of
the services on comfort, availability, timeliness,
driver attitude and price while riding the buses
in June and July.
