• ‘Swimmable’ is a very incomplete measure of water quality.
• 1000 rivers are monitored by NIWA and regional authorities, and most are
degraded in some manner at some point in their course.
• New Zealanders have changed rivers
natural and physical features but also includes social and cultural factors.
Various studies, surveys and public consultations conducted in the region show that many of Taranaki’s
natural features and landscapes are highly valued for their scenic, visual or aesthetic appeal. They also have
social, cultural and historical associations.
While the RMA states that protecting the region's outstanding natural features and landscapes from
inappropriate use and development is a matter of
management is simply
something land users undertake
themselves, on land which remains under
their private ownership.
There are five basic principles involved in
riparian management:
• Fencing the riparian margin
• Establishing appropriate vegetation
• Maintaining the vegetation
• Minimising any adverse effect on
waterways from land use in or near the
margin
• Installing protective river control works,
if needed.
WHAT IS TARANAKI REGIONAL
COUNCIL’S RIPARIAN
MANAGEMENT POLICY?
Remember to contact the Regional Council
if intending to undertake any channel
maintenance that entails machinery
disturbing the banks or the bed of a
stream or river. The Regional Freshwater
Plan requires a resource consent for any
work that involves excavation or diversion.
To protect trout habitat, the Regional
Freshwater Plan also excludes instream
works from 1 May to 31 October, unless
the Taranaki Fish and Game Council
approves their specific location.
If not maintained, a
