Businesses and homes in The Valley in New Plymouth will get improved protection from flooding with an upgrade to the lower Waiwhakaiho River Flood Control Scheme.

Taranaki Regional Council wants the public’s help to ‘back the bittern’ and has launched a new interactive map to make it easier to report sightings of the elusive wetland bird. Following on from the Council’s support of the matuku-hūrepo/Australasian bittern for the Forest & Bird Bird of the Year, conservation efforts are continuing with the call for people around the region to record whenever they see the nationally threatened bird.

pressures become reduced due to ongoing production. Fluids can also
be heated prior to injection to reduce the viscosity of the oil being produced, improving
its flow toward a producing well and upward through the wellbore itself.
A schematic representation of injection wells for both waste discharge and enhanced oil
recovery is presented in Figure 1.
Further details regarding hydrocarbon exploration and production in Taranaki, the
DWI process and its history within the region can be found
discharging to the Piakau Stream at the southeastern corner of the
site.
