Zealand falcon is rarely seen north of the central North Island. It is an elusive creature and prefers habitats undisturbed by humans, though it has adapted well to significant habitat loss in the past 100 years. Falcons are generalist predators, feeding mainly on birds but also invertebrates and small mammals such as rabbits. Their breeding season runs from September to December. Pairs will nest in trees or on the ground under a log or bush
inland as Eltham. Irrigators in the area reported that the ability to flush salt from pasture as one of the benefits of irrigation. However, not enough is currently known about the frequency of such events or the impact on pasture production to quantify the potential benefits in the financial analysis. 5.2 Pugging Potential The potential for soil pugging under irrigation is a function of soil type, application depth, application uniformity and stocking rates. Pugging risk is primarily a

Across the region, our rivers and streams are improving or not showing any significant changes. At more and more sites, we’re seeing the best results since monitoring began in 1995.

potential to increase the reliability and resilience of the electricity supply to people living in the local Opunake community. This has clear social and economic benefits. The scheme will also contribute to the Government’s aspirational goal of achieving 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2035 and well as decarbonisation goals. RELIEF SOUGHT Subject to any adverse effects of the scheme being adequately avoided, remedied or mitigated, that the consents be granted.
to sustain in pasture, planting soil conservation trees on the easier unstable slopes, and grazing dairy heifers or other non- traditional types of stock on the stable footslopes and valley bottoms. Purpose of a comprehensive farm plan Comprehensive farm plans look at all facets of a farm’s operation including land and stock management. If forestry is seen as part of the property’s future viability, this plan also includes an agroforestry plan.

gauges are showing rain below normal, while most other locations are close to or above normal. Cape Egmont remains at over 200% of normal to date and has already received 80% of a typical years rain in 5 months. Note: In last months rain total maps the values for Taungatara were incorrectly displayed at Glen Rd. The values for April at Glenn Road were 46/46% and 487/171%.

during construction activities. The influence that aquifer properties below 2 metres have on groundwater velocities is uncertain, in terms of over and/or under estimating velocities. For the current groundwater velocity calculations, the aquifer properties were estimated as ‘Silty Clay’, with an effective soil porosity of 0.01 or 1% to the base of the aquifer (McWorter and Sunada 1977). Well construction information is also limited but deemed critical to the analysis of slug test data, and
two events on 6 and 22 April. Te Maunga recorded between 67% and 79% of normal. Year to date rainfall is sitting between 67% and 213% with an average of 113% of normal. Eight sites are now tracking below normal. Only the southern and western sites are around 150% or more of typical rainfall to date. Despite the dry month Cape Egmont remains at over 200% of normal to date and has already received 60% of a typical years rain in only 4 months. Mean river flows for April are also well below
