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. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats,
nitrogen oxides were below levels of
concern at the time of sampling. No offensive or objectionable odours were detected beyond the boundary
during inspections and there were no complaints in relation to air emissions from the site. Monitoring
commissioned by OMV showed that the relevant New Zealand Workplace Exposure Standards for BTEX
constituents were complied with.

communities, as well as road users travelling between the regions.
Severe weather events and heavy goods vehicle accidents have resulted in frequent road closures
or restricted operation of the highway, contributing to negative perceptions of the route.
Particular sections of this state highway at risk are Mount Messenger, the Uruti Valley and
Awakino Gorge. These areas also have very poor cellular phone coverage which compounds
safety and operational issues when incidents do occur.
