new drilling, were canvassed and debated. The
tenor of the decision and the conditions attached to the approved marine consent clearly
confirm that offshore drilling in the Taranaki region has negligible if any environmental
effects, with the possible exception of marine biosecurity and on iwi interests, both of
which are able to be managed appropriately according to the DMC. Salient points from
the STOS decision are attached as Appendix 6.

Baseline states for submerged plants
The NPS-FM requires all regional councils to identify baseline states for all attributes described in Appendix
2A and 2B of the NPS-FM 2020 within each Freshwater Management Unit (FMU). When compared against

the Parihaka Papakāinga Trust with its
development aspirations and projects.
The Deed and Agreement arise out of Treaty
settlements with the iwi of Taranaki, in which
the Crown acknowledged the serious damage
that it inflicted by its past actions at Parihaka
and that its actions breached the Treaty of
Waitangi. This acknowledgement was
delivered in person by the Treaty Negotiations
Minister, Hon Chris Finlayson, at thetopher
reconciliation ceremony

Condition 6 states that the consent holder shall adopt the best practicable option to
minimise adverse environmental effects.
Condition 7 requires that work associated with the structure shall comply with noise
standards.
Condition 8 requires the consent holder to survey and map the position of the
structures.
Condition 9 requires the consent holder undertake pre and post-lay surveys of the
pipeline corridor.
Condition 10 states that the structure shall be removed and the area
to filling the spatial gaps in coverage of freshwater
information between monitoring points, says NIWA
environmental modeller Dr Doug Booker.
NIWA has recently released a free app – NZ River Maps
(https://shiny.niwa.co.nz/nzrivermaps/) – that uses these
model predictions to show patterns across New Zealand’s
rivers in about 100 attributes covering hydrology, water
quality, fish distributions, invertebrate metrics, suspended
and deposited sediment and fish and bird habitat.
