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.
Since 1995, the percentage of Taranaki’s ring plain streams fenced has

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

categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council

The modelled estimates show that the majority of total stream reach across the Waitara, Southern Hill Country

under Section 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any contaminant into water, unless the
activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or by national regulations.
Permits authorising discharges to water are issued by the
sedimentary rock is softer than the laharic material of the ring plain coast.
There are a number of small estuaries at the mouths of Taranaki’s larger rivers. These
estuaries are well flushed, with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to
