During the 2023/24 monitoring period Remediation NZ Ltd demonstrated a high level of environmental
performance, and a good level of administrative performance.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included two inspections which found the
Company was operating in accordance with the consent conditions. Several areas for improvement which
had been identified during the previous year had been, or were in the process, of being addressed. The

A joint taskforce of central and local government representatives sought to use the best
information available to model on a regional and national scale:
The improvements that will be made to water quality in rivers and lakes under
programmes that are planned or underway, on a region-by-region basis;
When the anticipated water quality improvements will be achieved; and
The likely costs of all interventions, and where these costs will

Taranaki Regional Air Quality Management Plan
2.1 As noted in 7.2 of the Taranaki Regional Council (TRC)
during the period under review support the trend of reductions in the levels of contaminants
in the receiving water at Sanger’s Intake seen during recent years. No samples outside of the mixing zone
exceeded the relevant USEPA receiving water criteria for the protection of aquatic ecosystems for zinc or
copper, and all other parameters were below levels stipulated by consent conditions.
Biomonitoring results indicated that treated stormwater discharged from the site was not having a

including coastal erosion protection in the form of concrete anchor mass blocks and
armour protection. Drainage measures are also proposed, including subsoil drains
within the engineered fill and a concrete dish drain or kerb and channel along the edge
of the state highway closest to the slope.

while the rest are either adapting or have already gone’. However, Innes & Hay (1990, p. 2528)
concluded that ‘… at least twelve endemic forest bird species or subspecies have yet neither
adapted nor gone, but are declining’; and more recently, Innes et al. (2010, p. 86) concluded that
‘predation by introduced pest mammals continues to be responsible for current declines and

In addition to the Register, elected members may make a declaration of any interest or conflicts during a
meeting according to the requirements of the Local Authorities (Members’ Interest) Act 1968. These are
recorded in the minutes of the meeting, which are available on the agenda and minutes section of our
website.
How the Register works
Elected members are provided with a declaration form to complete annually, once returned, a summary of
of expected background levels. There were
no significant odour or dust effects observed during inspections and no air quality complaints were
received.
For reference, in the 2023/24 year consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 864 (89%) of the 967 consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored
monitoring programmes, while for another 75 (8%) of the consents a good level of environmental
performance and compliance was achieved.
