2017/2018 year. However, we had not expected such a
dramatic increase in visitor numbers, which were up by 285%
for the year as a whole.
The new centre gives our world-class garden a world-class
visitor experience. It gives people an opportunity to visit
regardless of the weather and time of year, and experience
the wonderful gardens out of the rain and under a roof, and
to take in the stories of Pukeiti.
Allied developments include a network of tree houses and an

latest survey period was lower than normal in
comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert” or “Action”

recommended. In the 2018-2019 season, 79% of all samples met the national bathing guideline. Of the 21%
of samples that exceeded the
stock. There were issues around keeping buried
product in the ground due to elevated groundwater levels, the officer noted that the pits appeared to be
well managed. At the time of the inspection a discharge pipe to pond 1 had been damaged and product is
leaking into the ground. TBP was advised that this needed to be resolved before the next inspection.

Maunga Dawson Falls and North Egmont Visitor Centre
average slightly over 9°C. Winter temperatures average
between 7 and 8°C, with a fresher 3°C at our mountain sites.
Summer daily averages are from 19 to 20°C, and 16°C on
Taranaki Maunga. Although summer days can feel hot, the
temperate climate, and our proximity to the
ocean mean that, in summer, the mercury rarely climbs
above 30°C.
