The goal of Towards Predator-Free
Taranaki is to protect our native species
and ecosystems from introduced
predators. Unless we act now many of
our native species may become extinct or
have their populations decimated.
We’re off to a great start, but we need
to keep at it. Together we can make a
difference.

While Taranaki escaped the deluges brought by Cyclone Gabrielle as it hit the East Coast of the North Island, February was still a wet month for the region. Rainfall was on average 140.4% of the long-term average, and ranged from 81% at Waiwhakaiho at Hillsborough to 257% at Omaru at Charlies. Year to date rainfall is sitting between 111% (Stony at Mangatete Bridge) and 334% (Whanganui at Mataimona Trig) with an average of 160.4% of normal. Compared to typical full year totals, sites have
of flood protection and flood control works that are owned or controlled by the Taranaki Regional Council
(‘the Council’). These include flood protection schemes, floodways and areas of flood protection vegetation constructed and managed to prevent
damage, danger, or distress to the community from river flooding. It is crucial that these works function properly when needed.
People undertaking activities within the vicinity of these flood protection and flood control works require

The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included three inspections, seven water
samples collected for physicochemical analysis, two biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters, and one
marine ecology inspection.
The monitoring showed that activities at the Paritūtū site had no significant impact on air quality in the
vicinity of the plant or on water quality in the Herekawe Stream. There was one unauthorised
in the 2024/25 monitoring year.

It was a month of contrasts for the weather in Taranaki in January with a couple of weeks of cool, wet and windy conditions followed by dry and warmer weather and ending with huge downpours across the region. Rainfall was on average 193.5% of the long-term average, ranging from 89% at Kotare at O’Sullivans to 547% at Whanganui at Mataimona Trig. Rainfall was highest in the south-west ring plain area, and in the south and eastern parts of the hill country. Kaupokonui at Glenn Rd has already
