will e-mail or do a ring-around of local

Your Members’ Committee hope
you all have a safe and very happy
Christmas and holiday period.
The new project needs to be included within the
Taranaki RLTPlan in order to be progressed. The Transport Agency has therefore
lodged a request to vary the current RLTPlan.
4.3 The Committee noted and encouraged the NZ Transport Agency to engage early with
affected communities, including Iwi (Ngāti Tama) and landowners re the new Mount
Messenger Bypass roading project to avoid any misunderstanding or
misrepresentation going forward. The Agency advised the Committee that a
Waiwhakaiho River and
Te Henui Stream increases sharply as these waterways flow through urban areas from
upstream agricultural areas, because of water fowl in the lower reaches.
In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality showed some improvements in the latest
survey period in comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling
within the “Alert” or “Action” categories (28% of samples) was equal with the average of all
the previous seasons but this was heavily influenced

DISTRIBUTION, BREEDING AND FEEDING
The fernbird is a ground-dwelling bird and a reluctant flier, much preferring
to travel by foot. Any attempts to fly consist of short ungraceful flurries of
movement and any flight over 100m is exceptional.
They mainly inhabit dense thickets of scrub close to or within wetlands,
feeding on insects, but are also found in forested areas. The birds nest in
sedges or other vegetation close to the ground and build tightly woven nests
with hoods to
housing affordability and housing development. The report also includes information on business land
and floor space.
Summary of findings:
We are expected to be a medium-high population growth district.
Residential Indicator Group 1: In general all the indicators in this group have increased with the
exception of the housing affordability measure. This leads us to believe that while the cost of
building or buying your first home has increased, it is less than the rate of
strips of land
adjacent to waterways. They extend from
the edge of the floodplain to the waterway
itself. The width of a riparian margin
depends on the channel’s shape, and how
it relates to groundwater movement
through underlying rock or alluvium. An
important component of the riparian
margin is its vegetation. The composition
of this vegetation greatly influences the
functions of the riparian margin.

and nutrients to waterways. Soil
