FRESHWATER REFORMS: TARANAKI UPDATE
Key changes have improved the Government’s national freshwater policies. However,
challenging details remain to be worked through.
The Government last week announced its revised freshwater regulation regime, moderating
its original approach in a number of areas and delaying a decision on any need for or the
content of rules around nutrient limits.
Generally, these changes are to be welcomed. They reflect the …

and the
Increase protection for the surf breaks, because no
development or activity would be allowed to have an
adverse effect on them. This is the same level of
protection as for nationally significant surf breaks, and
a greater level of protection than for other regionally
significant surf breaks.
Provide protection for other values including cultural,
ideas and collaborations. For more

The PSP projects allow schools to work alongside scientists and tech experts on questions or
problems that are relevant to them and have enduring educational value. This is the fourth round
of PSP funding for Taranaki and for the previous three rounds TRC staff have been providing
scientific support for environment-based projects run through schools. The

acreage at 265 Mimi Road, my husband or myself go there every day to

the past). The purpose of annual SEM reports is to summarise monitoring activity
results for the year and provide a brief interpretation of these results.
Annual SEM reports act as ‘building blocks’ towards the preparation of the regional
state of the environment report every five years. The Council’s first, or baseline, state of
the environment report was prepared in 1996 (TRC, 1996a), summarising the region’s
progress in managing environmental quality in Taranaki over
predator control and biodiversity protection. Look
at the projects here on the Mounga, up to the north at Parininihi, to the south at Lake
Rotokare, or even in the eastern hillcountry at Purangi. And in between there are dozens of
landowners doing similar work in small bush blocks and wetlands.
Taranaki has built up a small army of professionals and volunteers with commitment,
expertise and staying power in the field of predator control and biodiversity protection.

referred to as PM10 (referring to their size) or as inhalable particulate (referring to their
potential effect). Health effects from inhaling PM10 include increased mortality and the
aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiovascular conditions such as asthma and
chronic pulmonary diseases.
Fine particulates come from sources such as burning coal, oil, wood, and petrol and diesel in

temperature fluctuations, which can result in lower animal
performance. For example, heat stress can result in reduced
milk synthesis and/or meat and fibre production (growth
rate).
Most cultivars of perennial ryegrass are now available with
or without endophyte, although there is a trade-off between
plant persistence and animal performance. For example,
high producing (low endophyte) pasture is susceptible to
ASW damage.
New research is looking at developing endophytes that are
