Deferred capital investment in infrastructure, such as the Falls Dam on
the Manuherekia River, is likely to remain on hold while uncertainties around
future minimum flow(s) of water bodies persist.33 In short, uncertainty around
access to water and the reliability of future supply, is eroding business (farmer)
confidence.
[53] Meantime, PC7 not only impacts decisions requiring significant capital
outlay, e.g. irrigation infrastructure and storage, but also less visible
catchment and a stream
usage survey. In summary, it was concluded that there was minimal use of the
stream for food-gathering or recreational purposes, and that the public health risk
was minimal under heavy rain overflow conditions. The report made several
recommendations (see TRC, 2014).
Wet weather in April 2014, May 2014 and June 2014 raised pond levels but not to
overflow levels indicating that work done to reduce stormwater infiltration and
inflow had had a marked effect.

copies to print. This is likely to fall into the financial year 2025/26.

was detected as a result of the recent rainfall events. Fish passage was difficult to assess due to the high
flow of the stream at the time of inspection and this will subsequently be assessed in further inspections
during low flow conditions.
The inspection then focused on the air discharge portion of the consents held by the Company. The
inspection found that a slight to moderate breeze was blowing. The weather was fine at the beginning of
the inspection, however rain had set in
Inspections
The site was inspected on two occasions in 2012-2013 period. The findings of the
inspections are given below.
2.1.1 31 October 2012
A site visit was made to conduct a compliance monitoring inspection and to take water
samples. The weather was fine with no rain over the previous 48 hours. No visual
effects were noted in the stream during sampling and both samples were clear and had
no odour. No leachate seepages or exposed refuse were observed and the cap was
sound. The

"In short, there should be no presumption that what exists should remain simply because it would be difficult or
expensive to remove it, or some similar reason. The proposal must stand or fall on its own merits when assessed
under s 104 and Part 2 as a discretionary activity. "

sound state such that:
a. They do not fall into a state of disrepair and continue to function effectively for the
purpose they were designed;
b. Their structural integrity is maintained;
c. There is no settlement or loss of foundation material; and
d. Erosion of the foreshore or seabed which has been demonstrated by monitoring to
be a direct result of the rock revetment structure, is minimised as far as
practicable.
19. Within 6 months of completion of the rock revetment
damp enough to avoid dehydration but allows access to air, and wait until
the first significant rain autumn. They spawn in autumn after the dry period,
laying several hundred eggs that hatch in 3-4 weeks. This gives the fry the
longest time to grow before the next dry period. Diet consists of small
aquatic or terrestrial animals, such as other larvae, amphipods or
copepods. These fish are New Zealand’s most specialised freshwater fish
and a unique component to our heritage.
