underlying the park.
Park users were concerned that they or their children might be exposed to such
contamination in their day-to-day use of the park, particularly as there was a children’s
playground close to the original discovery. As a result of the community concerns, the
Regional Council commissioned Pattle Delamore Partners Limited to carry out a soil
sampling investigation in the vicinity of the playground, a nearby BMX track and in the
wider park.

This report summarises the results for the sites surveyed in the Bathing Beach Recreational Water Quality
SEM programme over the 2017-2018 monitoring year, the 23rd year of the programme.
1.2 Background
In coastal waters, faecal indicator bacteria (enterococci, E. coli and faecal coliforms) can be monitored to
assess contamination from human or animal excreta. Levels of these faecal indicators are of particular
interest where the coast is used for
and responsibilities.
Freshwater quality
The Council’s monitoring has consistently recorded strong gains – the best-ever or near the best-ever
– in the all-important ecological health of our rivers. While other indicators are currently more
variable, these reflect the unusually wet weather of very recent years. This illustrates why it’s important
to take a long-term view and keep an eye on overall trends as well as day-to-day monitoring results.

concerns about long term low odour effects. It is very common
to have a very low odour level. If the air movement is in the appropriate
direction, it is likely that the odour level will be all day and all night. Is this
continual breathing in of these long term low level emissions harmful to the
human body or not? And why should we be subject to it?
CONCLUSIONS
I do not give my permission for AFTL to get resource consent for
emissions to air beyond 31st May 2026.
25/2 and a demonstration is going to the RTC.
The Group agreed that this was an area of work that could be very
beneficial. Further investigate collaborative opportunities to improve
regional data access/mapping, and which aspects could be made publicly
available (and whether through the national MapHub site or via developing
a Regional Transport Portal) will be considered. FR and CO to investigate
further and Group to discuss at next meeting.
