Introduction
1. In October 2007 a crude oil spill of approximately 23 tonnes was washed up on Okato
beaches, extending from Bayley Road in the south and Perth Road in the north and
affecting almost 15 kilometres of coastline.
2. The spill was sourced to Umuroa Floating Loading Storage and Off-loading (FPSO)
facility, operated by Prosafe, for the Tui oilfield. The field is managed by Australia

Taranaki is fundamental to the Government’s strategy to
further develop the nation’s natural resources and attract new

Zealand regions and Taranaki’s specialist support industry is
playing a leading servicing role. Effectively, ‘hub and spoke’

Council Chair Charlotte Littlewood urged the community to have their say as the ‘Next Steps for our Freshwater’ conversation
