Rainfall
Annual rainfall varies throughout the region. Some coastal areas receive less than 1,400 mm annually, while
the summit of Mount Taranaki receives around 7,500 mm.
Heavy rainfall events do occur and there can be extremes. In 2012 heavy rain caused a number of slips on
the coastal road around Mount Taranaki, including a large slip at Oākura that covered the road, burying a
Waiwhakaiho River and Te Henui Stream, and less frequently at Lake Opunake, 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 in the latest survey period was similar in
comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert”
or “Action” categories (29% of samples) was 1% higher than the long-term

values are categorised into four states, A, B, C or D, reflecting different levels from A-excellent to D-

Taranaki’s lakes are likely to fall below the “national bottom line”, meaning
they are considered to be degraded and in poor health. Overall, 78% of lakes were
predicted to fail to achieve the bottom line for at least one attribute, with more than 50%
of lakes likely to fail the lake-bottom dissolved oxygen attribute. A predicted 72% failed
chlorophyll-a (a measurement of algae), while 54% failed for total phosphorus and 61%
for total nitrogen.

fields making up a major part of New
Zealand’s natural gas resources. Extensive drilling programmes have continued to support the Kapuni and Maui fields.

2025/2026 Annual Plan 10 Strategic priorities
Ko ngā rautaki matua
Strategic priorities
With the above changes in our operating environment in
mind, we are conscious of the need to adjust our
priorities. We see the need for these adjustments falling
primarily in the following focus areas:
• Partnering
controls as to how it is to be managed.
Implementing much of the NPS-HPL will fall to territorial authorities through their
District Plans.
13. Set out below is a summary of the overall policy direction to be implemented by
Councils:
13.1. Restrict rezoning of highly productive land, but allowing tier 1 and 2 territorial
authorities to consider rezoning subject to requirements of the NPS-HPL.
13.2. Avoid rezoning of HPL for rural lifestyle and avoid subdivision generally of HPL,
