evidence was lodged. This field is 2.88 ha and this increases the total area
irrigated to 16.06 ha - or a 22% increase in size. A plan showing the
location of this area is attached as 'Attachment A',
7. The increase in area is likely to result in a similar percentage drop in
nutrients leached from the irrigation block, and will provide additional
operational flexibility for RNZ to manage irrigation and nutrient loading at
the facility,

Conclusion
River, Te
Henui Stream, Waimoku Stream, and less frequently at Lakes Opunake and Rotomanu,
were due principally to resident wild fowl populations in the vicinity of recreational usage
sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker surveys).
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 (26% of
falling within the “Alert” or “Action”
categories was almost half that of the previous season. Of note, very few high counts were
recorded during the 2010-2011 season. Fewer exceedances of MfE guidelines (‘Alert’ and
‘Action’) modes were coincidental with drier early season conditions and a reduction in
dairy shed pond systems treated wastes discharge rates noted from field inspections during
that time.
One site (Waimoku Stream at Oakura beach) continued to record all of its single samples in
but, this time it will be on the
Founders’ Lawn at Pukeiti. This will take
place before the next newsletter so we
will e-mail or do a ring-around of local
members to give further details closer
to the date. Should you be interested in
coming but are not contacted, please ring
or email either Heather (06) 757 2460
/ h.robson@xtra.co.nz or Diane (06)
752 2800 / jordy@primowireless.co.nz.
Your Members’ Committee hope
you all have a safe and very happy
Christmas and holiday period.

NATIVE
Different types or species of lizards
(geckos and skinks) have different
foot prints; much like each person
has different finger prints from
anyone else. So from these
footprints we can discover what types
of geckos live at Rotokare!
Often with lizard prints the tail is
visible – this is known as the tail
drag.

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
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
