considerably reduced by reducing pest
numbers beforehand. The standard
options for initial control are:
• Possums - shooting, trapping
or poisoning
• Hares - shooting
• Rabbits - shooting
• Pukekos - culling during late autumn-
early winter (the shooting season)

Exposure to BTEX can occur by ingestion (consuming water contaminated with BTEX),
inhalation (exposure to BTEX present in the air) or absorption through the skin. Inhalation of
BTEX can occur while pumping gasoline. Absorption of these chemicals can occur by
spilling gasoline onto one's skin. Acute exposures to high levels of gasoline and its BTEX
components have been associated with skin and sensory irritation, central nervous system
depression, and effects on the respiratory system. These levels

DESCRIPTION
The variable oystercatcher is an endangered, endemic species in New
Zealand. They are large heavily-built shore birds, found on sandy beaches,
sandspits or feeding in tidal estuaries. Adults have black upper parts and their
under parts vary from all black through a range of black and white markings.
They have a conspicuous long bright orange bill (longer in females), and stout,
coral-pink legs. They are 47cm to 49cm long and weigh up to
government co-investment in river management for future flood protection
should be included in Budget 2020.
The need is for river management and
flood protection schemes to be re-
purposed and upgraded, or renewed,
to meet contemporary challenges,
including adaption to cope with
climate change-induced flood events.
The schemes must also satisfy a wider
spectrum of community,
environmental, cultural and economic
objectives than in the past.

Rates
WW noted that those projects that are important (rated high priority) will get
enhanced FAR - between base FAR and 100% depending on each AO. Low
cost/low risk projects (under $1m) aren’t included.
VL noted advanced FAR – do it now (only available for this NLTP period).
SH noted that an end of life structure would more likely gain a high rating.
SB suggested safety or access related projects would be key strategies on GPS –
advanced FAR.
CW confirmed the Bell Block to
