continuing the improvement shown by
the previous season. Very few high counts were recorded during the 2011-2012 season.
One site (Te Henui Stream near East End beach) recorded all of its single samples in either
the ‘Alert’ or the ‘Action’ mode of the MfE, 2003 guidelines. DNA marker tracking
confirmed the principal contribution to be the wildfowl populations although there were
background contributions from cattle and occasionally human sources. Previously this site
had been monitored
schools prior to any planned activity to advise
them of our requirements. This system is
working well; thank you for your co-operation.
The Council has just completed its annual
recognition of the special environmental
efforts made by individuals, professional or
community groups, companies, local
authorities and schools. Nine awards were
made this year with three of them going to
schools. Congratulations to the students, the
staff and the school communities of Oakura,
while the
south-western half also is identified as a priority terrestrial habitat
for Taranaki.
Sustainability - Positive The site is of a good size and well connected to surrounding
habitat. Key ecological processes still influence the site. Under
appropriate management, it can remain resilient to existing or
potential threats
Other Management Issues
Habitat Modification - Medium While currently ungrazed, the damp open valley floor has been
fully cleared
tracking, confirmed the principal contribution to be
the wildfowl populations. Twelve other sites exhibited occasional single sample entries into
the ‘Alert’ or ‘Action’ modes of the 2003 guidelines at some time during the season.
However, eight sites’ counts entered the ‘Action’ mode, a small increase in the frequency of
exceedances in comparison with previous survey seasons’ results. To a certain extent these
exceedances were probably a feature common to the mid and lower reaches of rivers and
We’re always after people that can help with leaflet drops and community
information evenings.
During an emergency you may be assigned to a water tank, go door knocking,
or being on a cordon.
Where does volunteering happen?
Wherever you live in Taranaki, there is a role for you to play.
The Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC) is in New Plymouth. The ECC coordinates the
emergency response across the region for large-scale events.

Sustainability - Negative Historical management of this site including grazing and drainage
have impacted the future sustainability of this site. Without
management, this site may not remain resilient to existing or
potential threats.
Other Management Issues
Habitat Modification - High There is an obvious gap between the canopy and sub-canopy
layers, due to historical grazing within the site. The site has been
fenced and is now

Application Deposit information
The deposit amount is required when an application is submitted and is an initial deposit
towards the final cost of processing the application. Processing of the application will begin
when the deposit is received. Purchase orders are not acceptable as payment for the
deposit and we are unable to issue you an invoice/receipt until payment has been received.
The final cost of processing is based on actual and reasonable staff time and
animal body
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
