Regular inspections indicated no immediate problems with the oxidation ponds system’s
performance, with no overflows to land or adjacent stormwater drains, following very wet
weather as a direct consequence of re-engineered bunding and cell wall upgrades. Seasonal
variability in secondary pond microfloral populations (as indicated by chlorophyll-
concentrations) was also influenced by preceding wet-weather stormwater

tool to review and design programmes and to test the underlying rationale for public interventions.
As part of the review of its pest management strategies, the Council has applied the intervention logic
model.
The process involved a series of 14 workshops held throughout February and March 2012. At those
workshops, staff evaluated what outcomes are sought in relation to individual pest animal or plant
species, and then evaluated how that

Road landfill and the excavation backfilled with clean imported soil.
The discovery of the chemical residues has raised concerns within the community that there could be general dioxin
and other contamination within the landfill and that this contamination could also be affecting the surface of the park.
Park users are concerned that they or their children might be exposed to such contamination in their day-to-day use of
the park.

operation, with no unauthorised overflows to the stream of any nature. Three incidents of
stormwater/sewage overflows were reported in the Konini and Brown Streets areas of the
township due to surcharging of the reticulation under very heavy rainfall conditions.
Reactivation of an alarmed and telemetered overflow site has been necessary to alleviate
sewage entry to domestic property. Signage requirements have been recognised and

observed magnitude of these seasonal changes varies
considerably by site, ranging from a few millimetres up to several metres. The magnitude of observed
changes is influenced by rainfall patterns, bore depth, aquifer type (confined or unconfined) and
hydraulic properties, the overlying land cover, and proximity to a stable surface water boundary or
groundwater discharge area (e.g. river or sea).
Data collected over the last two years of monitoring at each site (2015-2017) has been

The little black shag (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) and New Zealand dabchick
(Poliocephalus rufopectus), both of which are identified as ‘At Risk (Sparse)’
are also present.
Other birds present or which visit the site include the little shag

Context
The NPS-FM initially came into effect on 1 August 2014 and was updated in August
2017 to incorporate amendments from the National Policy Statement for Freshwater
Amendment Order 2017.
The NPS-FM sets a new direction for improving or maintaining water quality and
protecting important ecosystems in our lakes, rivers, streams and aquifers. Under
sections 62(3) and 67(3)(a) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), regional policy
