provisions could be amended to promote
a more appropriate balance between the
use, development and protection of small

recommendation.
For the purpose of this report a ‘small
stream’ is defined as “…a permanent or
intermittent flowing body of freshwater less

channel and must be able to support aquatic
flora and fauna. Small streams include
Pukeiti has partnered with Hayley Benseman Skincare to create Pukeiti Hand and Body Cream, a New Zealand first in natural skincare. The new Pukeiti cream is believed to be the first in New Zealand to incorporate Rhododendron Anthopogon essential oil and is hand-blended locally from Hayley’s workshop in Inglewood, Taranaki. As Pukeiti hosts one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of rhododendrons, it is fitting the new cream incorporates Rhododendron oil and is produced

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
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.
monitoring and annual significant activity reports.
Evaluating the effectiveness of the RCP was undertaken by first examining the outputs of the
plan (consents issued, consent monitoring, unauthorised incidents and non-regulatory methods
undertaken).
This found that the number of current coastal consents is relatively low (just over 250) and an
average of 24 consents per year have been issued, varied or renewed since the RCP was made

The Connector, Southlink’s coastal service, and Route 20
(Bell Block / Waitara) were most frequently mentioned
in this regard.
The desire to improve access to a range of after-school or
after-work activities was clearly stated, by Sport
Taranaki in particular.
This will be covered within
the SSBC, but should be
strengthened with more
specifics within the RPTP
and BTCS.

As with most forward planning, priorities, needs and expectations can change over the lifespan of a planning document. Changes in transport planning can potentially require alterations to the programme of works set out in Section 5 of the Regional Land Transport Plan. Most changes can be expected to be minor but in some cases a relatively major new project may need to be added to the programme, requiring a formal variation to a Plan. Variations to the Regional Land Transport Plan must be

There were no issues found in relation to the discharges to air from either the plant site or the irrigation
