using a correlation between these two sites, a calculated flow
can be estimated for the ‘Bushline. Based on this correlation, as shown in Figure 4 the flow did not fall below
the 134L/s limit, so no restrictions were required to be put in place.

approximately 2.1 ha in size
and is comprised of a cutover lowland tawa dominant forest remnant on hill slopes and stream terraces.
The remnant is of a native forest type that is classified as 'Chronically Threatened' in Taranaki and falls
within 'Acutely Threatened' Land Environment (LENZ) F5.2a. Remnants such as this provide important
habitat for rare and threatened species. Gillett Family Bush also offers good connectivity to other nearby
habitats, private QEII covenants and Key Native Ecosystems in
estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with
the beach building process.
Active dunelands exist at some of the larger river mouths and dominate the low-lying
coast from Pātea Beach to the southern extent of the region. Cliff-top

100-year flood protection and takes into
account the effects of climate change. The aim
has been to make the scheme as resilient as
possible.
A one-in-100-year flow at Waitara is estimated
at around 3,800 cubic metres per second,
which is more than twice the highest flow
measured at 1,640 cubic metres during the
heavy rain event on 20 June 2015 (picture). A
one-in-100-year flood would be about three
metres higher, with a substantially higher
highest 24-hour rainfalls in
New Zealand. A combination of intense rainfall and
small catchments with hilly topography means the
region’s rivers can rise very rapidly.
New Zealand has a relatively high number of
landslides compared with other countries. Fortunately, the country’s low population density and settlement
patterns mean there are few landslide deaths and comparatively limited damage.
Heavy rain causes erosion and bank collapse in
Mākāhu in the Stratford District.

The Year 7/8 students from Patea Area School recently spent a couple of fun-filled days at Konini
Lodge on Mt Taranaki under the leadership of teacher Mark Parsons. The Council Education Officer
is talking (not singing) to some of the students about Dawson Falls and their history.
