Collective Responsibility
He waka eke noa – We are all in this together - we rise together, fall together, work together, keep going together.
• We recognize and respect that there is a shared responsibility across the 4 Rs at all levels (nationally, regionally,
locally, and community levels) and ensure roles and responsibilities are defined and understood.
• We empower and enable community-level response, and ensure it is
Inspection was carried out during wet weather following a period of rain throughout the
catchment. The influent screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The main pond was dark
green/brown with a turbid appearance. A mild odour was noted downwind. Wildlife was numerous, with
over 450 mallard, paradise and teal ducks, Canadian geese and black swans.
Both wetland pond levels were normal. These were dark green/brown in colour and slightly turbid. No
ponding was noted in the vicinity of

1.3.1 Water abstraction permit
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.
The
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction might exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering

3.2.1 Inspections
08 December 2020
An inspection was undertaken to assess compliance with the wastewater discharge consent. A prolonged
period of rain occurred prior to the inspection. The yard was relatively clean and tidy. No evidence of spills.
The discharge of stormwater onsite into the roadside drain looked much improved from the last inspection.
A sample of the settling pond discharge into the wetland was unable to be collected due to a new
(Pohokura AEE Vol 3).
f. Cliff erosion
Sedimentary rocks in cliffs in the ‘papa’ areas of north and south Taranaki are relatively
young geologically speaking, so are soft, unconsolidated and easily eroded. Cliffs with
waves lapping at the base at high tide are vulnerable to episodic erosion events with the
steep faces falling away catastrophically. Compounding this process is groundwater seepage
through the cliffs which intensifies after heavy rain. When the top layers are saturated, they
is less than 1 % of the allocated take through resource
consents.
Rain water is also collected and stored for stock and domestic use.
There are 21 rural water supply schemes in the region that serve stock, domestic water
and in some cases industrial use and mean farmers do not have their own intake
systems. In this case the
take is concentrated at
one point rather than
being spread through a
catchment.

year-round monitoring and
compliance, even at times when it would
be foolhardy to swim because of weather
and/or dangerous currents and flows,
imposes significant costs but with little
purpose or community benefit.
� Proposed broad-brush national
requirements for excluding stock from
waterways fall short of what is actually
required to reduce faecal contamination,
and risk undermining successful and
proven local initiatives such as Taranaki’s
