management area within which it falls, except as
follows:
(i) rules referenced with a `G' apply to the entire coastal marine area except as otherwise
stated; and
(ii) rules for activities that fall within more than one coastal management area are dealt
with as described in Section 4.2.4.
4.1.2 Planning Maps
The following maps show the location of all coastal management areas. The location of the
coastal marine area boundary at rivers with non-standard "mouths" is also shown where
those rivers
well-maintained with approximately ten small stockpiles of sawdust waiting to be spread. The area was
intact, with no cracking or slumping evident on either the fill area or the tip face. No unauthorised material
was noted. There was no ponding observed, despite heavy rain the previous day, and the material was damp
underfoot. The pre-fill gully was well grassed with no sign of exposed soil or sediment runoff. The stage 1 fill
area was damp underfoot and had been recently grazed, and showed no sign of
minor amount of erosion at one point that was likely to have been caused by the heavy
rain in the previous week.
The stormwater ponds were all nearly full, with approximately 0.3-0.5 m of freeboard.
The contents were a relatively clear brown colour, and the lowest pond had an iron
oxide sheen present on the surface. The downstream stormwater drain had recently
been cleared of vegetation and there were no obstructions to flow. Silt controls were in
place, and appeared to be effective as the
the
time of the inspection with 5 mm of rain over the past three days.
Significant earthworks were being undertaken at the site. The contractor on-site
outlined that the whole area was being prepared for eventual filling. Pipe had been laid
down the length of both channels to pipe the spring water. Stormwater pipes and risers
had also been installed to intercept stormwater from the surrounding pasture. At the
time of the inspection, the contractor was digging a retention/silt pond for
this area.
The truck wash area looked to be working well. The settling ponds at the truck wash
area were full with a small clear discharge to the drain. There was some evidence of
fines in the drain due to recent rain and the pump having broken down which was
being repaired. The slurry area at the back of the yard was full which would need to
be emptied soon. The main drain through the yard had been cleaned out. Overall the
site looked to be well maintained and managed at the time of
tidy.

The site was unmanned at the time of inspection. There was processing equipment
onsite. The hill that had been pushed into the quarry pit for reinstatement had been
graded and contoured. There was no dust found beyond the boundary of the property.
There was no runoff from the site occurring at the time of inspection. The site was tidy.

The site was unmanned at the time of inspection. It was raining and windy at the time
of inspection. The reinstated

south on both the eastern and western boundaries will also be
altering the hydrology of the site.
Herbivores - Medium Stock are excluded from the site through drains and a two wire
fence around the perimeter. Stock incursions are infrequent.
Possum Self-help This site falls within the Opunake possum self-help operation. Leg-
hold trapping is carried out annually by a contractor.
Predators - Medium Predators including rodents, mustelids, possums,
considerations justify otherwise. The representation of the Stratford and South Taranaki
constituencies falls outside the stipulated range. The Council considers that the Stratford Constituency
warrants one member and the South Taranaki Constituency warrants three members for the following
reasons:
• the proposed representation reflects the status quo (with only minor proposed boundary changes),
which is well understood and accepted by the regional community.
• the constituency boundaries are
… levels are $8m per annum over the ten years of the 2021/2031 Long-Term Plan.
Dividends are a significant portion of the Council’s revenue streams. Port Taranaki Ltd operates in a highly-competitive
trading environment and there are no guarantees that it will be able to continue to deliver forecast dividend levels.
Accordingly there is a risk that profits and dividends may fall at some future point. This is the biggest risk to the delivery
of the proposed programmes.
Over the 10
we are
conservatively forecasting port dividend returns
of $8m a year over the life of the LTP. Our
biggest financial risk is port dividends falling
below forecast levels. Any circumstance that
reduces the level of dividend will result in a
commensurate increase in the level of general
rates.
We intend utilising our Dividend Equalisation
Reserve, built up from years when dividends
exceeded forecasts. This fund will be drawn upon
to help minimise rates increases in the first few
