‘high-growth’ or ‘medium growth’ urban areas. 16. At the time that the NPS-UDC came into force, New Plymouth was initially identified as a medium-growth urban area (with a projected population growth of 9.3% between 2013 and 2023).

Consequently, in accordance with the requirements of the NPS-UDC, both the New Plymouth District Council and this Council agreed to jointly prepare and publish:
free-draining uncompacted soils of moderate fertility. The altitudinal limit for good growth of Douglas-fir is about 900 metres in the North Island. Generally, at all altitudes, wind exposure is considered to be the main growth limitation in NZ. Nevertheless, Douglas-fir can recover well from exposure damage, and during the first 20 years of growth it can often replace a stripped or deformed leader resulting in little permanent stem malformation. Exposure damage can be reduced by planting at stocking

communities, as well as road users travelling between the regions. Severe weather events and heavy goods vehicle accidents have resulted in frequent road closures or restricted operation of the highway, contributing to negative perceptions of the route. Particular sections of this state highway at risk are Mount Messenger, the Uruti Valley and Awakino Gorge. These areas also have very poor cellular phone coverage which compounds safety and operational issues when incidents do occur.

Glyphosate has low toxicity to wildlife and soil organisms, and breaks down fast. Spray three or preferably four weeks before plants go in. Use Roundup at a rate of 10 ml per litre of water (for
