expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.
There are eight monitored quarries in Taranaki that hold a water abstraction consent. Four of these quarries
actively take water for use in quarry operations, the remaining four hold consents to take groundwater
incidental to quarrying activity.

Taylor report has also avoided commenting on how controls should be enhanced
and where existing controls might become less effective under the new operation. In terms
of equipment that AFT have to mitigate effects of odour and dust, these are all based on
having birds contained within a negative pressure maintained enclosed space.
22. Likewise the TRC in its assessment of the Application appears to make a similar error of
omission to conclude that the consent application falls
conclude that the consent application falls under Rule 52 of the RAQP. Rule 52
covers “Existing poultry farming processes” whereas AFT (and Tonkin and Taylor) clearly
indicate that the Application covers a conversion of an existing operation to free range (our
emphasis added). According to the RAQP this would make the Application subject to Rule 54.
23. While making this Application subject to Rule 54 (discretionary activity) seems to remove
any rule based obligation to notify the

The resource consents are subject to conditions on abstraction and discharge rates, effluent compositions
and receiving water effects, and implementation of management plans. There is provision of six-yearly
reviews of resource consent conditions from 1 June 2023.
Water abstraction permit
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity
is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within
be expected, and is
an appropriate target to be pursued. However, it should be noted that even with MfE’s overly
optimistic analysis, we will fall well short of what is required as a national average under the
NPS-FM. This is despite the fact that through the Taranaki Riparian Management Programme
the region is investing and doing far more than the NPS-FM requires and doing more than
many other regions in New Zealand.

The build-up phase1
We are aware that two weeks of the
campaign fall in the September - October
holidays so there is a need for your
planning to be organized prior to this.
Planning
Yes, the
that has been taught to school
children for many years, and will continue to be
promoted around the country. The simple advice is:
If you are inside a building, move no more than few steps, then Drop, Cover and Hold to protect
yourself from falling objects. Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit.
In most buildings in New Zealand, you are safer to stay where you are until the shaking stops. It
would be a good idea if teachers help students
