1.1.3 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environment ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or
adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may
arise in relation to:
• the neighbourhood or the wider
optimism.
Last term was an extremely busy and varied
one for me. It was a privilege to have the
chance to be out and about with so many of
you. I never tire of the sound of great
excitement, glee or surprise when children
discover some new animal or plant or do
something that surprises both themselves and
others. Certainly the many rock pool, Pukeiti
and river excursions were great fun and my
thanks go to the teachers who organized
them.

consent for the Wellington area was subsequently surrendered during the 2011-2012
monitoring year as surrender criteria were deemed to have been satisfied, and all
further activities were covered under the new consent.1
Monitoring of the site will continue until the consents are either successfully
surrendered or expire, at which time contaminant

the Composting Site. It is envisaged as part of the upcoming consent variation to increase the
irrigation areas, that a separate Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) will be undertaken for
that consent application.

If your day-to-day activities involve the use of water
blasting equipment, you should consider the potential
your activity has to pollute the environment.
What causes pollution?
Poor work practices while water blasting may be
causing some of these common problems:
• Discharges of contaminants including sediment,
paint, oil, heavy metals, chemical cleaners and
organic waste to the ground or stormwater system
• Foaming water in the stormwater system
• Blockage

festival activities, and once or twice a

The lawn has been and continues to be a
huge success. John Goodwin’s foresight
has been well rewarded. Spaciousness.
Thank you John.
