development of the conservation rainforest.
Work planned for the further development and upgrade of the garden by the Taranaki Regional Council
(TRC), which now owns and manages the garden, is well advanced: upgrading of the pathways, tracks,
plant labelling and signage, the Keiller Home Garden, and the Vireya House (ex-Covered Walk) is now
largely complete; the Gatehouse upgrade has begun; and the replacement Lodge is in the initial
planning stage.

region’s natural resources, integrating iwi o Taranaki values in planning and decision-making processes.
While the values and concepts reflected in Council policy and planning are distinctly Māori, the intent—
sustainable management—is clearly shared with wider New Zealand culture, with the responsibility for
delivery shared across the whole community.
As a council, we work closely with iwi o Taranaki in planning, decision-making and resource consent
with reduced bacterial (E. coli) contamination being an
additional benefit.
By the end of the 2017/2018 financial year, the Council
had provided landowners with riparian management plans
more than 5.1 million native plants, and a total of 85.7%
of their streams were fenced and 71.7% were protected by
vegetation. This represents a massive commitment by the
farming community.
Soil conservation efforts in the eastern hill country, too,
have a direct bearing on
during the period under review.

1.2 Context
The processing of resource consents is a core component of the
regulatory methods the Council has adopted to implement the
statutory requirements of the Resource Management Act 1991
