Short-term variability may be driven by sporadic events such
as periodic sand inundation, or other cyclical patterns such
as climatic cycles, or recruitment variability of different rocky
shore species. Over the short term (2011-2020) period, very
likely increasing trends in the mean number of species were
identified at five out of six sites, and a likely increasing trend
at just one site, Waihi Reef. The annual rates of change in
these trends ranged

The ambient air quality monitoring at the site showed that levels of carbon monoxide, combustible gases,
PM10 particulates, and nitrogen oxides were all 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.
During the year, the Company demonstrated an overall high level of both environmental

definition of dwellinghouse (which is included in the definition of “sensitive area”) is
as follows and does not include a notional boundary provision:
Dwellinghouse* means any building, whether permanent

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,
assessments;

to remain concise, I have focused on the elements I do not agree with or

effects were noted on the receiving environment as a result of the discharge.
There were no adverse effects on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air discharge consent.

For

combustible gases, PM10 particulates, and nitrogen oxides were all 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.
During the monitoring period, WestSide demonstrated a high level of both environmental performance and
administrative compliance with respect to their resource consents.
For reference, in the 2020-2021
showed that CCCWSL complied with consent conditions in regards to discharge standards
and abstraction rates. There were no unauthorised incidents recording non-compliance in respect of this
consent holder during the period under review.
The results of the biomonitoring surveys found no evidence of effects as a result of discharges, structures or
water abstraction.
During the year, CCCWSL demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance with
resource consents.
