TARANAKI REGIONAL COUNCIL NEWSLETTER September 2015 No. 98
Storm relief hits spot
The Taranaki Regional Council’s $500,000
Storm Recovery Package has struck a chord
with farmers whose properties were
damaged in the widespread flooding and
slips in June.
More than three-quarters of the funding
package had been allocated by the end of
August, to cover replacement of riparian
plants, poplar poles and retirement fencing
lost or damaged in the storm.

Taranaki waterways - update 2014
The Taranaki Regional Council’s scientific monitoring shows that
in overview, the region’s rivers and streams are continuing to do
well. Water quality measures are either stable or improving, and
an ever-increasing number are improving.
The trends reported this year, on the ecological health and
physical and chemical state of our rivers and streams, are the
best yet in 18 years of monitoring.
Comparison with guideline limits

high application depths and
long return intervals.
Centre pivot; high capital cost, versatile operation and low labour requirements.
Travelling irrigators; constrained by farm layout and performance affected by high
wind.
Irrigation Efficiency: For the purposes of this study, application efficiency is the most
appropriate definition of irrigation efficiency, which is the ratio of applied water to water
retained within the crop root zone. Uneven or excessive application depth accounts
including the Ingrams QEII site. The site also provides additional
habitat and greater connectivity with other Key Native Ecosystems
in this area such as Kotare bush, Hickman road (Luxton), Tikorangi
Whitehead, and Mangahewa.

No threatened or at risk species were recorded during the initial
condition assessment. The site is connected to a larger patch of
native forest that provides habitat for the western North Island
brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli)
