The project approved by the Council includes refurbishments that are either essential or important for getting the Stadium back up to proper operational capacity and able to host top-grade
with deep leaf litter, or stable cover such as deep rock piles or thick vegetation. They are most active at dawn and dusk. This species is very secretive and has a small home range, often of only a few metres if the habitat is suitable. Their main food source is small snails, beetles, spiders and plant matter. Their young are born in late January and February and, like most New Zealand skink species, are born live. ORNATE SKINKS IN TARANAKI

The potential effects of air emissions range from amenity effects (such as haze, smoke, or offensive odours) to potential or actual negative impacts on human and ecosystem health.

The whakatauāki “ka kopa, me kopa, ki te ana o Rangitotohu”) remembers a taniwha, who protects the Taranaki coastline. If a person was to violate rahui or act disrespectfully when fishing or gathering kaimoana they would be snatched and drawn into his cave. Other taniwha are also known from the Ngāti Mutunga coast.

The shortjaw kokopu lives primarily at low to moderate elevations in distinctive habitats such as small, stable, bouldery streams. These streams typically have a dense cover of podocarp or broadleaf forest and plenty of in-stream cover such as large logs, overhanging banks and boulders which provide refuge for the kokopu and suits their shy nature. Their diet consists largely of terrestrial invertebrates taken from the surface, such as ants, spiders, cicadas, moths and
