the Council’s detection of elevated levels of chemicals associated with firefighting foam
(PFAS) found in eels in two South Taranaki streams (Oaonui and Ngapirau). Iwi and
local residents have been notified. The Council’s investigation into PFOS was

Recommended
THAT the Taranaki Regional Council
1. receives the schedule of resource consents granted and
the length of costly hearings.

was that eleven potential hearings were
avoided as a result of successful
pre-hearing meetings
Again the Council policy of holding pre-hearing meetings of
submitters to consent applications to reduce the amount of
time taken up with expensive and time consuming hearings
was successful with all eleven applications

the centre of social, cultural, economic and spiritual well-being. Papapakainga such as
Puke Ariki, Purakau, Rewa Rewa and Mangatī were located on the coast close to the
valued resources of water, mahinga kai and kaimoana. The resources sustained and
nourished the iwi and were important to ensure survival and to maintain the spiritual,
cultural and economic prosperity of Te
