an important role in the stream ecosystem food web and are influenced by the physical, chemical, and
biological conditions of the stream. They also respond to changes in variables including, but not exclusive
to, water quality, flow, stream habitat, and invasive species. Thus, they are capable of showing the impacts
of stressors present upstream in the catchment, such as habitat loss or pollution (NEMS, 2022). For example,

high concentrations, ammonia and nitrate can be toxic for aquatic life.
Phosphorus can be present in water in different forms, and is an essential nutrient for instream plant life.
Most phosphorus enters rivers attached to sediment. Phosphorus is naturally elevated in our region’s soils
due to the volcanic geology however, fertiliser application along with the discharge of domestic and animal

Essential
freshwater rules
All you need to know
Many of the regulations around freshwater and how we manage
this precious resource have changed or are changing. These
changes are being driven by the Government’s Essential
Freshwater reform package. This booklet provides a quick
guide to all the rules.
There are more in-depth information and factsheets to download at
National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (NPS-FM).
Overview of Suspended and Deposited Fine Sediment
Sediment is mineral or organic matter that is transported by water, air or ice and is the result of erosive
processes. The magnitude of erosion is a function of climate, vegetation, soil type and topography.
Sediment delivery to aquatic systems can be viewed as a function of the interactions between natural
environmental variability, and land management decisions that

(“coastal marine area”). The seas that bound the coastal marine area are known by
Taranaki Iwi as Ngā Tai a Kupe (the shores and tides of Kupe). The coastal lands that
incline into the sea are of high importance to Taranaki Iwi and contain kāinga (villages),
pā (fortified villages), pūkawa (reefs) for the gathering of mātaitai (seafood), tauranga
waka or awa waka (boat channels), tauranga ika (fishing grounds)
Decisions
6.1 Mr M Nield – Director of Corporate Services, spoke to the members for their
consideration of whether to use First Past the Post (FPP) or Single Transferable Vote
(STV) electoral system, and whether to undertake a representation review for the 2025
Council elections. Cr Bigham asked that a decision on whether to undertake a
representation review be deferred to a subsequent meeting.
