adequately addressed under other provisions of the Plan and do not require
repeating. Section 5.1 explains that the policies apply to all activities within the
coastal environment, regardless of the activity to be authorised and which coastal
management area the activity may fall within. Policy 33 must therefore be read in
conjunction with each of the other relevant policies, including all the General Policies.
Together these policies address the matters covered in the
management area within which it falls, except as
follows:
(i) rules referenced with a `G' apply to the entire coastal marine area except as otherwise
stated; and
(ii) rules for activities that fall within more than one coastal management area are dealt
with as described in Section 4.2.4.

The following maps show the location of all coastal management areas. The location of the
coastal marine area boundary at rivers with non-standard "mouths" is also shown where

The site was inspected during fine weather with no significant rain having occurred for
a week or more. The skimmer pits were clear and not discharging. The ring drains were
free of contaminants and a frog was in residence at the top end of the drain. Some
flaring was being undertaken, but this was very minor and no downwind effects were
noted. The

and reduced significantly from 2015 when all three
district councils aligned their recycling collection services
and created a regional materials recovery facility in New
Plymouth to process recyclables. In 2014, the waste to
landfill in the region per person was 595kg falling to 311kg
per person in 2020-2021.
In Stratford and South Taranaki, there has been additional
monitoring bore GND2103 varied in
response to abstraction from GND2010. When abstraction volumes increase over the summer months the
groundwater levels fall in response and during the winter months, when abstraction decreases, the
groundwater levels recover.
In summary, groundwater level monitoring data gathered by the Council does not indicate any long-term
reduction in shallow or deep groundwater levels as a result of the abstraction authorised by consent 7470-

(a) It does not fall into a state of disrepair and continues to function effectively for the

3. The consent holder shall ensure that upstream and downstream passage is provided
past the weir and intake structure for trout and native fish in all their life
