officer will check that your metering,
recording and telemetry equipment is functioning correctly.
What is telemetry?
Telemetry is the electronic transmission of data or
information from one place to another.
How does it work?
Your flowmeter is connected to a telemetry device. The
flowmeter generates electronic pulses each time a set
volume of water passes through the meter. These
pulses are recorded by the telemetry device, and
automatically transmitted

“Farmers, businesses and Councils are
spending millions to protect and enhance the
environment, and just as important are the
hours and sweat invested by volunteers, as
individuals or groups, in projects big and
small, and the work of teachers striving to
instil in their young charges a respect for the
environment.”

DESCRIPTION
Akeake is easily recognised by its distinctive bright green long thin wavy
leaves, flaking bark and its papery winged seed capsules. It is a hardy,
coastal shrub or small tree. In the right conditions, it will grow to about 10m
high with a spreading crown and a trunk of around 30cm in diameter. The
leaves are alternate, thin, light green with smooth margins and raised veins.
The bark is reddish brown and peels off in long, thin strips. Akeake
went sharemilking, there was no recycling
of farm waste or household waste. It all went into a pit to be burned.
What changes were made
At their next sharemilking job, the owners were recycling silage wrap and
Greg and Hannah continued doing this when they moved to their own
farm. They also store agricultural remedy and dairy hygiene product
containers until a collection event, or until another recycling solution is
found. Waste minimisation is now part of their routine. Recyclables

Nitrogen oxides
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), a mixture of nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), are
produced from natural sources, motor vehicles and other fuel combustion processes. Indoor domestic
appliances (gas stoves, gas or wood heaters) can also be significant sources of nitrogen oxides, particularly
in areas that are poorly ventilated. NO and NO2 are of interest because of potential effects on human
health.

The key components to undertaking a representation review are:
• The number of members – a regional council is required to have between six and 14
members elected from constituencies
• The number of constituencies
• The area of each constituency by ensuring, as far as practicable, constituency boundaries
coincide with the boundaries of one or more territorial authority districts or the
