grazed streambank is:
• Rushes, sedges or water-tolerant shrubs
at the water’s edge (Zone C) to protect
against scour. They should be flexible,
not bulky, so they don’t impede
floodwater
• Erosion-control shrubs and trees farther
up (Zone B), where there is less risk that
erosion will topple growing plants into
the channel before their roots can
stabilise its bank
• Timber trees at the top of the bank

Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to introduce an officers report on submissions to the
Proposed Regional Coastal Plan for Taranaki (Proposed Plan) and to recommend that the report
be circulated to submitters as a basis for pre-hearing consultation. It is hoped this process
will resolve or clarify those issues in submissions that will require to be heard at a Council
hearing.
A copy of the officers report on submissions and a revised Proposed Plan showing
the results, their interpretations, and their significance for the environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2018-2019 monitoring year.

The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or
the consents, including upgrading the fish pass, and monitoring of the
effects of the scheme on the residual flow reach. This includes no or inadequate baseline information being
collected on the trout communities and recreational activities of the residual flow reach, despite the scheme
now being operated whenever flows allow. An erosion report was received during the reported period, as
was a full year’s record of abstraction data.

1.1.3 The Resource Management 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
some of the more substantial things the Council
has done in the community over the year, rather than ‘tick
the box’ on everything. We think this will provide you with a
shorter, more accessible and attractive read. However, if you
want to follow-up on something that we have not touched
on, you will find it in the pages that follow or in the relevant
Significant Activity Annual Reports for the year. In fact, we
encourage you to read the Significant Activity Annual
Reports because these have
