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
in the groundwater in the under liner drain,
and monitoring plan requirements are still in effect with works required to be undertaken by 31 January
2024. There appear to be some legacy issues that are affecting the water quality in the receiving
environment. These have resulted in some consent non-compliances, however, they have not resulted in any
non-compliant results in the surface waters or had significant adverse effects on the receiving waters during
the year under review. Monitoring
with abatements and infringements being issued
on multiple occasions. The 2022-2023 monitoring period was an improvement on previous years with no
abatement or infringements being issued but three non-compliant consent conditions. A new abatement
requiring the installation of piezometers has been issued in the 2023-2024 year.
This report includes recommendations for the 2023-2024 year.
