additional accelerated funding for a bypass of Mount
Messenger on State Highway 3 (SH3). The new project needs to be included within the
Taranaki RLTPlan in order to be progressed. The Transport Agency has therefore
lodged a request to vary the current RLTPlan.
4.3 The Committee noted and encouraged the NZ Transport Agency to engage early with
affected communities, including Iwi (Ngāti Tama) and landowners re the new Mount

On discovering it would take several years to progress the
original roundabout concept designs to construction, we worked
with New Plymouth District Council and iwi to refine the designs.
The refined roundabout concepts are slightly reduced in
size but they will achieve the safety bene-f'its we are aiming
for and are appropriate for current and future traffic volumes.
We have taken into account the feedback the community
are important
to Iwi and were highly regarded as
mahinga kai (McDowall, 2011). Only one
species has been confirmed as being
present in Taranaki, being Echyridella
menziesii. This species is classified as
being ‘in decline’, which places them in
the ‘at risk’ category (Grainger et al,
2013).
Another species (Echyridella aucklandica)
has been recorded in a number of
locations in the North Island, including Figure 5: Lake Rotorangi

injection. Ponds 1, 2 and 4 had a good cover of crust.
The burn pile contained prohibited items including treated timber from scaffolding and fibre glass based
product. The environment manger said this would be removed. Pond 6 was less turbid than past visits and
the environment manager advised that pond 6 would soon be discharged to the Inaha Stream as the
paddocks were becoming saturated, and that the Council and iwi would be informed beforehand.
Rubbish was noted around the Bulk Lines truck
site in February 20236.
4.2 Kaitiakitanga
Two hapū and two iwi have an association with the Paritūtū site. It is a shared interest area between
Taranaki Iwi and Te Atiawa; Ngāti Tairi Hapū (Taranaki), Ngā Mahanga, and Ngāti Te Whiti Hapū (Te
Atiawa) and both have associations with the Paritūtū site. It is understood urupā are located on the
property, which was also a papakāinga (settlement) and a battle ground. The site also sits within a
broader cultural landscape of significance
encouraging. On top of its
use with Yr12/13 science classes, we are now
offering SHMAK courses to adult groups such
as several Taranaki iwi who want to monitor the
health of streams within their tribal area. This is
another example of ‘citizen science’ in action.
What’s more, the adults seem to really enjoy it!
