significant proportion of Taranaki’s economy is driven by the
oil and gas (O&G) industry. All of the nation’s commercially
producing fields are in the region, as well as the supporting
production and processing facilities, specialist infrastructure,
power stations and supply chains. The national and global
demand for energy is increasing and Taranaki is at the centre
of this capital and technology-intensive expansion.
But the benefits from the O&G industry don’t just fall on the
Taranaki region
native
habitats in the KNE programme, amounting to
119,103 hectares. Of these, 132 are either
totally or partly on private land and cover 9,277
hectares.
Under certain conditions, when a KNE falls
wholly or partly on private land, landowners
can receive free advice and assistance for
protecting and enhancing indigenous
biodiversity in the site. This can include a Council-developed biodiversity plan.
Recommendations in biodiversity plans usually cover actions such as
much rain is falling locally. This has allowed Trustpower to manage race flows to
minimise flooding, and has greatly improved Trustpower’s compliance with residual
flow requirements.

Water abstraction permits
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 set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may
close proximity away
from the crossing point.
To aid this process ICPC have produced an agreement to cross notification template for
the exchange of technical information (Attachment 1).The Maintenance Authority for the
crossed cable should then review the information and respond on a timely basis to ensure
that the crossing falls within the guidelines laid down by this procedure, or if that is not
possible, that a compromise is reached which is acceptable to both parties.

course to move all mixing and blending of material inside by the 1 June 2019.
15 January 2019 (Old site)
An inspection was undertaken of the Osflo chicken litter storage and blending facility located at 70
Hursthouse Road. At the time of the inspection the weather was overcast, seven eighth cloud cover with a
strong southerly breeze, rain had fallen the previous day. An odour
from the site, drains to the estuary and then into the Patea River.
Flood potential
Flooding of the site is extremely unlikely due to the large flow capacity of the Patea
River. No mention of site flooding has been made to Council staff during the course
of this investigation. It is likely, given the flat nature of the site, that heavy rain might
cause superficial slight surface flooding of the site before drainage occurs.
Boundary condition
Boundary fencing was in extremely poor
tonnes exported in 2013-
2014 and 209,100 freight tonnes exported in 2014-2015 (Photo 2). This move to bulk
cargo has resulted in an increase in material deposited on the ground in the log and
coal storage areas (Figure 1). When it rains this material is washed into the
stormwater system, resulting in high suspended solids. In order to minimise
deleterious effects on the receiving environment, Port Taranaki Limited implemented
a number of preventative measures over the 2011-2014 period,
the GPS. Resilience will fall under
accessibility. SH maintenance funding is likely to remain the same, while SH
improvement works funding will decrease. Spatial planning is likely to be made
mandatory for each region in future.
