Taranaki's world-leading Riparian Management Programme was a talking point at the Land Use and Water Quality conference at The Hague, Netherlands, in June 2017. The conference included a presentation on the voluntary, unsubsidised and large-scale riparian scheme. The scientists and policy-makers present were impressed by the scheme's uptake and ecological successes, especially in contrast with Europe’s highly regulated, highly funded and highly politicised approach. The presentation was called

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
recommended that as part of the
Freshwater Plan review, current
provisions could be amended to promote
a more appropriate balance between the
use, development and protection of small
streams. This report gives effect to that
recommendation.
For the purpose of this report a ‘small
stream’ is defined as “…a permanent or
intermittent flowing body of freshwater less
than two metres wide and which has a defined
channel and must be able to support aquatic
flora and fauna. Small streams include

‘swimmability’ of rivers. To concerns raised about faecal matter from birds in waterways, Mr
Phipps pointed out that Council was able to break down the DNA of the matter to find out
whether it was from birds or other animals.
Mr Phipps said fine sediment in rivers and streams was an issue and was expected to get
worse because of the impact of climate change.
He also confirmed that phosphorus was present in our waterways, and preliminary
assessment indicates that this is
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

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:
