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.

needed to maintain a catchment’s natural character and
ecosystem health however, as this measurement is an ‘average’, flows do naturally fall below MALF during
prolonged periods of dry weather or drought.
Estimations of MALF are made using long term flow records but, if no records are available, it can also be
estimated using records from hydrologically similar streams. When developing estimates of MALF, flow
records are first ‘naturalised’. Primarily this involves removing the
(constructed in 2002). The remaining residual flow passes through an old (and mostly
ineffective) fish pass on the true left bank of the weir.
Much of the scheme is monitored and operated remotely by the Company. Through an automated water
level sensor system, the Company can monitor the residual flows in the Manganui River and Mangaotea
Stream, water levels in the race and lake and how much rain is falling locally. This has allowed the Company
to manage race flows to minimise flooding, and has …
