chronic odour effects beyond the
boundary of the site. I agree with the other experts and Council that off-
site odour concentrations will decrease as compared with historic
operations, due to the proposed farm upgrades and conversion to free
range, as such I consider that future acute off-site effects are unlikely.
However, I am uncertain as to whether or not the farm changes will
sufficiently reduce observable off-site odour to below the level of detection
or low enough that it would be acceptable
(the Council) adopted a water management plan for the river in September 1991.
During the 2018-2019 monitoring period a total of 21 consents were held by the 14 industries monitored
under this programme that discharge wastewater, stormwater and/or leachate from the industrial area at
Fitzroy, New Plymouth to the lower Waiwhakaiho River and Mangaone Stream, or to land in the lower
Waiwhakaiho and Mangaone Stream catchments. The activities and impacts of the consent holders upon
water quality
ensuring that the natural coastal environment remains capable of supporting marine life,
retains its natural character and is able to meet the needs of future generations.
Many activities take place in the coastal marine area of Taranaki. These range from
major ventures such as petroleum exploration, and the continuing development of Port
Taranaki, to simple activities such as swimming, walking along the foreshore or children
building sand castles against the incoming tide. The Taranaki coastline
seen during recent years (dissolved zinc was slightly higher than the
historical median but still an improvement on earlier years). No samples outside of the mixing zone
exceeded the relevant USEPA receiving water criteria for the protection of aquatic ecosystems for zinc or
copper, and all other parameters were below levels stipulated by consent conditions.
Biomonitoring results have also continued to indicate a slight improvement in water quality and ecological

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;
