patch reefs on Pātea Bank. This new knowledge is put within the context of
existing knowledge of other subtidal reef systems within TRC’s management region (territorial sea).
This new knowledge helps fill in major fundamental gaps around coastal habitats and associated
ecological assemblages, which fall under TRCs management responsibilities.
1.1 General background
The South Taranaki Bight (STB) covers an extensive seafloor area (12,500 km2) and is in part
characterised by an extensive
Agenda for Taranaki Regional Council hearing on representation arrangments
were consolidated at a new shed on Kohiti Road from
which wastewater is transferred to the treatment system for the nearby rendering
operations. Consent 3117 now applies to a small shed used for sick cows on Katotauru
Road.
1.3.1 Water abstraction consent
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 some particular categories
relevant provisions when
considering consent applications.
Policy 1 of the NZCPS identifies the extent and
characteristics of the coastal environment. Of
note the coastal environment extends beyond
the coastal marine area (that part of the
environment regulated via that Coastal Plan)
and may include parts of rivers and streams
with significant coastal processes, influences or
qualities. Such areas also fall under the scope
of the Freshwater Plan.

The discharge records indicated that all discharges had occurred when the river flow was above the
consented 5 m³/s.
The Waiongana Stream hydrology displays a natural rapid rise and fall (typical of Taranaki ring plain
streams) which allows for a limited window of opportunity when treated wastewater can be discharged
above the minimum consent limit. The consent holder has access to the
Policy & Planning Committee agenda April 2021
detail in Section A1. In addition, flood events in the
Waiwhakaiho River display a ‘flashy’ nature, with flows rising and falling rapidly, discussed further in
Section 3.2.
The Waiwhakaiho River is an incised wandering, mixed bed river characterised by bed and bank
material comprised of large boulders, cobbles, coarse gravels and fine sediment. The true left bank
near the intake structure is bedrock (conglomerate), and on the true right, there are erodible banks
of cobbles held in a loose
