alert messages in situations with real and
serious threats to life, health and property such
as an expected Tsunami or water

It must be noted that the EMA system is only
one way of receiving information about

social media, our website and act upon any
natural signs of an emergency such as the Long

What used to happen
A waste audit in 2009 found that of the 14.9 tonnes of material sent to
landfill annually from the Civic Centre, 87% or 12.9 tonnes could have
been composted or recycled.
What changes were made
NPDC developed a Workplace Sustainability Waste Minimisation
initiative, under which setting up good facilities and educating staff at
New Plymouth Civic Centre was a key project. Recycling ‘mini-stations’,
for mixed recycling, organics and waste to landfill, were set

threshold will be revisited when the bylaw is next reviewed. It is anticipated that
these requirements will eventually roll down to residential builds in addition to
commercial builds.

inundation, several communities are built in river estuaries or have coastal exposure,
which carries some risk of inundation. These areas have been studied in this report.
The tsunami waves used in the model are based on the GNS report Review of
Tsunami Hazard and Risk in New Zealand (Berryman, 2005), which indicates the
wave heights for the Taranaki coastline to be approximately 2 m for a 500 year return

Freshwater macroinvertebrates are a range of aquatic species that have a crucial role in freshwater ecology
and that respond to changes in water quality or hydrological patterns or habitat. While a grab sample of
water collected from the waterbody will reveal water chemistry at the time of sampling, and thus give an
indication of contemporaneous pressures on the ecology of the
