certainty during the
consenting process and will minimise disputes and reduce costs for the
applicant and the Council.
More effective as Plan users will have greater certainty around whether their
activity falls inside/outside the coastal environment and the appropriate Policies
to consider.
More effective as each consent application will be addressed consistently and
reduces variation between consents.
There are no additional costs associated with this change.

• Farm systems predominantly fall into System 2 and 3.
• Supplements are used to a) boost production (PKE is major supplement) and b) allow
resilience against summer dry period (PKE, maize silage, bought-in silage and summer
crops).
• Irrigation does not occur on farms.
• Investment is taking place on some farms to upgrade effluent system to use nutrients.
• Wetter and higher altitude areas (i.e. Egmont
public use can
degrade the values associated with the site – little can or should be done to promote
coastal public access. Six (or 21%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance
having poor public access fall within these two categories.
• For the two remaining limiting factors, these being lack of formal access or poorly
defined public access, more could be done to improve public access. Twenty-three (or
79%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance having poor
River, Te
Henui Stream, Waimoku Stream, and less frequently at Lakes Opunake and Rotomanu,
were due principally to resident wild fowl populations in the vicinity of recreational usage
sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker surveys).
In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality showed some improvements in the latest
survey period in comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling

Kauri-E: The ring drain was in need of redefining as some of the culverts were becoming blocked. An orange
layer of sludge was noted in the ring drain. This appeared to be iron oxide that had discharged onto site
from a neighbouring property. The pipe had since been disconnected. It was noted that a storage bund had
sand in the base that smelled of hydrocarbon when disturbed. The consent …

consisted of clay, dirt and a few stumps. There had been heavy rain over night prior
to the inspection and it was noted that there were no ponding, odour or dust issues
found at the time of inspection. The consent holder was informed that water samples
were collected at this inspection.

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
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.

omission to conclude that the consent application falls
