management and efficient operation of flood protection and flood control works that are owned or controlled by the Taranaki Regional Council

produced by the Environment Court 2014 and
have prepared my evidence in accordance with those rules. My
qualifications as an expert are set out above.

within my area of expertise.

alter or detract from the opinions expressed. I have specified where
my opinion is based on limited or partial information and identified
any assumptions I have made in
activities, all adverse effects of the activity can be considered. Activities
classified as discretionary are recognised as being capable of generating a wide range of
effects and therefore the assessment of effects is not narrowed or limited in any way.

unnecessarily limited its own powers to properly assess the application in the right context.
