The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-
economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants,

community concerns and aspirations are directly reflected in the plans that are developed. Councils will also

management and efficient operation 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.
