Time: Many people find the distances too far or the time constraints too tight,
especially when balancing work commitments.
• Weather: Bad weather, rain and wind were frequently cited as deterrents to active travel.

Waitōtara, was instituted as a requirement of Consent
9608-1.2, held by DR Wilson for abstraction of groundwater at a location across the Waitōtara River for
irrigation of pasture. Consent 9608-1.2 requires that abstraction ceases if the water levels in the Company
supply bores GND0585 (Bore 3a) and GND1195 (Bore 1) fall below 104m and 109m respectively.
Consent 2261-3.1 relates to abstraction from production Bore 1 (GND1195), Bore 2 (GND0230) and Bore 3a
(GND0585). The daily abstraction volume
carried out to check for compliance
with resource consent conditions. Light rain fell intermittently throughout the day. Well sites inspected were

were being maintained with weed spraying evident on the site and in some places within the ring drains.
The majority of ring drains were

recreational usage sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker
surveys).
In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality in the latest survey period was similar in
comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert”
or “Action” categories (28% of samples) was equal to the long-term average and was
strongly influenced by samples at two urban sites

Significant donated assets for which current values are not readily obtainable are not recognised. For an asset to be
