nautical miles offshore to include the waters of the territorial sea. There are three district councils within the region — New Plymouth, Stratford and South Taranaki district councils. The area of Stratford district to the east of Pohokura Saddle falls into Manawatu-Whanganui (Horizons) region.

It’s important to note that although most applications fall into this ‘non-notified’ category, hundreds of parties are consulted by resource consent applicants in Taranaki each year. If the effects are more than minor or an affected party does not give written approval, the application will have to be notified. People may then make submissions on the application.
