Taranaki Iwi as Ngā Tai a Kupe (the shores and tides of Kupe). The coastal lands that
incline into the sea are of high importance to Taranaki Iwi and contain kāinga (villages),

Overview of population growth in the New Plymouth District
The New Plymouth District is situated in the wider Taranaki region and covers an area of 2,205 square
kilometres, including both rural and urban areas. One of the resource management issues facing the
district is planning for growth and development, whilst ensuring that the needs of the community are
met and adverse effects on the environment are avoided, remedied or mitigated.

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:

GROUND PREPARATION
(pre-plant spraying)
Clear away all grass and weed competition
before planting. Rank vegetation can be
spot-sprayed with a knock-down herbicide
containing the active ingredient glyphosate
eg. Roundup G2. 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
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.

Composting and Bioaerosol Pollution
Bioaerosol is the term used to describe microorganisms (bacteria, fungi/moulds or
viruses) or their products that are airborne. Bioaerosols are naturally present in the air,
mainly from soil-borne microorganisms in airborne dust. This means everyone is
constantly exposed to them, even at home. Higher levels are present

Periphyton is the algae or 'slime' that can be seen from time to time in rivers and streams,
especially during extended periods of low flows and warm temperatures. It plays a
fundamental role within the stream ecosystem by absorbing nutrients and converting them
into biomass which is then used as a food source for invertebrates, and subsequently native
fish and birds. Nuisance periphyton, in the form of either prolific thick mats or long
filaments of algae can cause streams to become
