Well drilling

Regional Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki. However if directional drilling results in

applied for, comment will need to be sought from Iwi under the Marine and Coastal
Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011

Responding to change
While there is no change to the work programme signalled in the 2021/2031 Long-Term Plan, our work will be
completed against a backdrop of significant and wide-reaching statutory and regulatory change.
We are responding to this fluid and challenging environment by building resilience in our programmes, policies,
