Taranaki Regional Council:
a) receives this memorandum on the committee and joint committee structure and
operations for 2019-2022
b) confirms that, unless resolved otherwise, no changes be made to the committee
and joint committee structures, the committee duties and responsibilities,
committee delegations or the frequency and timing of committee meetings for
2019-2022
c) confirms that the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson act as ex-officio members
on committees with the exception of
at Sole Rd Ngaere in the Patea
catchment. The landfill was closed in late 2011 when a tipface fire alerted Council to its
presence. As the landfill site was within 25 metres of a waterway and found to contain
contaminants such as zinc-based agricultural pharmaceuticals it was determined by Council
that either all of the contaminants be removed from the site or a consent would be required
to manage and maintain the closed landfill. R H Vosseler applied for consent to discharge
leachate and
future.

TARANAKI REGIONAL COUNCIL BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY

Preface
The Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) has carried out a number of functions since its
inception that coincidently relate to the protection or restoration of indigenous biodiversity, such
as animal pest control and the promotion of riparian restoration. These functions were initiated
not primarily for biodiversity purposes, but rather for the protection of agricultural values or
well currently in use, or the ability of the receiving formation to
accept injected fluids. The results of groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no
adverse effects of the activity at monitored locations. Inspections undertaken during the
monitoring year found sites being operated in a professional manner and there were no
Unauthorised Incidents in relation to any of the Company’s DWI consents.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental and
the Council has the power to undertake, implement, encourage, or
maintain, any services, works, projects, or facilities that are—
(a) for the recreation or cultural well-being of the residents and ratepayers of the Taranaki
Region; or
(b) for preserving, or encouraging the reasonable enjoyment of, the physical and cultural
heritage of the Taranaki Region.

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 1991 (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 a discharger, and may
in the Taranaki region.
Separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit (SUIP): A SUIP is defined as a
separately used or occupied part of a rating unit and includes any part of a rating
unit that is used or occupied by any person, other than the ratepayer, having a right

to use or inhabit that part by virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence, or other agreement,
or any part or parts of a rating unit that are used or
drainage have been an essential part of land development and utilisation. Drainage has been
encouraged as a means of extending pastoralism and improving farm productivity and
profitability. The Taranaki Regional Council and the regional community has recognised the
positive consequences of land drainage, and that in some circumstances new or significantly
modified or improved drainage may be appropriate. However, the Council and community
also recognise that land drainage may result in adverse
contamination of seawater as a result of the treatment
system.
During the 2013-2014 monitoring year, the STDC demonstrated a high level of compliance
with the resource consent and environmental performance in relation to the consent. During
the year there were no unauthorised incidents or any adverse effects on the receiving
environment in relation to Consent 3769-3.
This report includes recommendations for the 2014-2015 year.
