understorey has been extensively modified by grazing stock.
Stock-proof fencing is necessary to reduce the risk of continued
modification.
Herbivores - High Stock presently have access to the site and have been impacting on
the bush by trampling roots and browsing young seedlings and
saplings for decades - more so on the forest edge. The new
landowners plan to fence to exclude stock in the near future.

terraced coastline where
sedimentary rock is softer than that of the laharic material of the ring plain coast.
There are a number of small estuaries at the mouths of Taranaki’s larger rivers. These
estuaries are well flushed with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. There is generally abundant sediment supply to

The Coast
A look at the Dawson Falls Visitor Centre, an opportunity to learn more about mountain safety, a
chance to identify the invertebrates in a mountain stream, a bush walk, a close-up view of Dawson
Falls, a chance to see what Konini Lodge has to offer and a big lunch were features of the latest
teachers’ workshop held in November. Ten teachers from four schools
questioned given the falling
attendances at sporting events (especially the smaller non-international style events). It
was noted that many attendances for Mitre 10 Cup rugby games were in the 4,000 to
6,000 range. The stands only offer 8,000 seats. The remainder of the capacity is taken up
by the terrace seating and general admittance. Even at the smaller events, there is still a
significant demand for undercover seating that is out of the weather and side-on to the
ground. The major sports noted

familiar with the plan to examine the clarity of the policies and the frequency that the various
policies had been considered in consent officer’s reports (as an indication of how frequently those
policies were used in decision making).
Efficiency is a measure of the benefit of a policy relative to its cost. The efficiency of the RCP was
examined by looking at costs that fall on the regional council (plan administration costs and
ongoing policy development or state of environment
response
to local rainfall patterns. The range of change in water
levels varied considerably by site, from a few millimetres
up to several metres. Over the longer term, some sites also
showed a small continuous fall or rise in groundwater level.
None of these changes was considered significant enough
to affect the sustainability of the aquifer and could be linked
to either localised groundwater use or longer-term
rainfall patterns.
