the whole or the relevant part of the proceedings of the meeting
would be likely to result in the disclosure of information where the withholding of the
information is necessary to protect information, where the making available of the information
would be likely to prejudice the supply of similar information, or information from the same
source, and it is in the public interest that such information continue to be supplied.
Item 11 - Confidential Executive, Audit and Risk Committee Minutes
Quarterly Operational Report (QOR) for the six months ended 31 December 2019.
The purpose of a QOR is to present a snapshot of the Council progressing through the delivery of the programme of activities
agreed to in that year’s annual plan or long-term plan. It is designed to give a feel for how the Council is progressing and the
forecast for the rest of the year.
This QOR presents the achievement of the programmes of work established by the Council for 2018/2019 in the 2018/2028
Ex situ conservation (where species that
are at risk of extinction in their native
habitat are conserved by growing them in
living collections in botanic gardens or
similar sites) sits within the framework of
the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation
and its 16 Targets, but particularly Target
8 which aims to have 75% of threatened
species held in ex situ collections by
20201. Key factors for success in ex situ
conservation are presence of a range of
genetically diverse plants of
line.
Councils can maintain waterways at bands A-C, or seek to
improve them. But they can’t go backwards and they can’t
choose D unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Note: It’s important not to confuse the quality bands A-D with
Taranaki’s Freshwater Management Units A-D. See the separate
concept sheet on Freshwater Management Units.
The Taranaki situation
Taranaki has 286 main river catchments and 530 named rivers.
The Council’s monitoring shows that
of a Quarterly Operational Report (QOR) is to present a snapshot of the Council progressing through the delivery of
the programme of activities agreed to in that year’s annual plan or long-term plan. It is designed to give a feel for how the
Council is progressing and the forecast for the rest of the year.
The QOR is structured in the following manner for each activity within each one of the six groups of activity:

The fish populations were sampled using fyke nets (Photo 1) and gee minnow traps. At each site, five gee
minnow traps were set, and baited with Marmite. They were set overnight, among macrophytes or
alongside woody debris. Two fyke nets were also set at each site, a standard mesh (25mm) net and a fine
mesh (13mm). The standard mesh was set downstream, in attempt to intercept any large eels moving up
from downstream. Both fyke nets were baited with fish food pellets. These
school at Tikorangi got their own beeswax wrap (above)
and Waitoriki (below) learnt how to do some Furoshiki
(Japanese gi� or bag folding), filled loads of plus Ecobricks
made Maths bags for the seniors. #plas�cfreejulytaranaki

Sustainability - Positive Key ecological processes still influence the site and with
appropriate management, it can remain resilient to existing or
potential threats.
Other Management Issues
Weeds - High There are very few weed issues in the more mature areas
