Travelling between Hāwera and New Plymouth is now easier than ever, with the Connector bus service expanding to six return trips per day, Monday to Friday The service expansion follows public consultation in 2024, where the community voiced strong support for more frequent bus services. Taranaki Regional Council Transport Engagement Manager Cheryl Gazley says the feedback was instrumental in shaping this change. “The Connector service was a frequent topic in our discussions with the public.
region (excluding Te Maunga sites) was 9.7°C, 0.2°C cooler than usual. July 2024 Environmental Data Report June 2024 rainfall maps What you should know: The site maps show data from a selection of the sites we monitor, but not all of them.
The distribution maps are based on mathematical modelling and may not accurately represent actual rainfall in some unmonitored areas.
This is raw data and may not have been subjected to a quality control process. All efforts are made to ensure the integrity of the
guidelines of contaminants during cold
and wet weather, and indeed even during flood flows in summer. The overland flow of
rainwater across agricultural land and urban landscapes may easily pick up high levels of

The NPS-FM directs all regional councils (including unitary authorities) to set regional
targets to improve the quality of fresh water so rivers and lakes are suitable for primary
contact more often.

submission
Do you support the establishment of a
Maori constituency for Taranaki
Regional Council? (choose one)
No
Comments: 1. Having automatic representation is against everything New Zealand has

is paramount. What an insult to the current Regional Council Chairman to
suggest the type of change.
2. There is no precise definition to establish when a person is Maori. This
