modelling approach has been applied. As noted by Dr
Michael Dearnaley (2024, para. 18), if new reefs located near Pātea
Shoals fall within approximately 3 km of the mining operations, then
potential impacts on these reefs would be more accurately informed by
near-field plume modelling rather than the far-field approach undertaken
by NIWA.
• The panel may wish to consider how these uncertainties regarding reef
identification and modelling approaches affect confidence in conclusions

nothing dull
about the new entrance to the
gardens. The covered entrance to the
Rain Forest Pavilion is refreshingly
clean-lined and generous in size. It
leads to the café past an interpretation
area in which the history of Pukeiti
and a focus on rhododendrons is inter-
actively displayed. The entrance-way
has grand views across the lawn to the
sea, and to the side, a newly planted
row of rhododendrons surrounds The
Founders Garden which has been
grassed with instant turf. Dominant at
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,

2.2.1 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.
Silver Fern Farms holds water permit 1091-4 to
outfall. Stormwater from the tankage area is pumped over into the process sewers which flow to the
storm pond. The stormwater falling on the non-process areas of the western half of the site (Figure 1) is
directed by “v” ditches running alongside the roads to a dam/pond and then out to the Tasman Sea via the
Manu Stream. Stormwater falling on the eastern side of the site is directed to unnamed tributaries of the
Waihi Stream via outfalls and a small sedimentation pond.

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
spills having occurred. The peripheral
drains around the site appeared to be clear of any sewage contaminants. The sludge disposal area had been
reinstated with vegetation following the disposal operation that occurred in 2019-2020. In June 2021, the
TDF was shut down temporarily in order to replace a damaged seal. Otherwise, NPWWTP staff noted that
the plant had been operating well and that there had been no major performance issues.
Heavy rain had preceded the first inspection, which
