relating to local authorities. In particular, the Council's comments are made in recognition
of its:
. functions and responsibilities under the Land Transport Management Act 2003;
. and its regional advocacy responsibilities whereby the Council represents the Taranaki
region on matters of regional significance or concern.

prosperous Taranaki' across all of its various functions/ roles and
framework is that the
“maintenance of biological diversity” only appears in the RMA and only then as a function of
councils (i.e. not part of the purpose and principles). Oddly, regional councils have very limited
ability to “maintain biological diversity”, given that such a broad and ambitious goal is also
dependent of the exercise of the many functions and powers that rest with other agencies.
In addition, the regional council biodiversity role sits oddly in the RMA, given that the
