introduce a publication by the Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of
New Zealand (PEPANZ) entitled ‘Powering to 2050: A vision for natural gas in New
Zealand’.
Recommended
That the Taranaki Regional Council:
a) receives the memorandum ‘PEPANZ publication: Powering to 2050: A vision for
natural gas in New Zealand’; and
b) notes the Taranaki region’s natural gas resources have a role in the transition to a
low emissions economy.

As a result of recognising the various impacts of past and present intensive dairy related activities, on such features as water quality, they are
looking towards the future by taking steps to restore portions of the on farm drainage system (creeks and streams) by partnering with the
Taranaki Regional Council to construct a wetland.
To date a portion of an existing creek has been excavated, aquatic plants have been planted, along

Marfell School
Marfell Community School in New Plymouth has recently partnered
with Enivroschools and have really impressed with their
enthusiasm and commitment to the kaupapa.
Classes have been learning about the flora and fauna in their own
‘backyard’ by examining biodiversity and pest control, as well as
exploring other themes such as energy.
This term Room 3 students (teacher Catherine Steenson with yrs 3-

Under the Council’s award-winning Riparian Management Programme, thousands of kilometres of streambanks and wetlands are being fenced and planted to protect and enhance the region’s waterways. Fencing streambanks keeps stock out of waterways and vegetation helps to trap and filter run-off from pasture. Planting provides shading, food and shelter for wildlife and encourages biodiversity in rivers and streams. All of these aspects generally support water quality. Taranaki’s Riparian Management Programme is believed to be the largest and longest-running environmental enhancement planting scheme on private land in New Zealand. It is transforming the Taranaki ring plain and has been recognised with a Green Ribbon Award from the Ministry for the Environment, and awards from the Geospatial World Forum and the NZ Resource Management Law Association. Stock exclusion
The Government has proposed changes to stock exclusion regulations on low slope land. The proposed changes remove the requirement to exclude stock from waterways on land where slope is 5° or less. The current stock exclusion rules came into force on 3 September 2020. These are in addition to the Council's riparian management programme, which also covers stock exclusion from waterbodies. If you have a Council Riparian Management Plan fully implemented following a full audit by a Land Management Officer before 3 September 2020, you already comply with both the Council and Government regulations. Click here for more information on how these regulations may affect you. If you have any questions please contact your Council Land Management Officer. Partnership the key
For more than 20 years the Council has worked with landowners to develop riparian management plans for individual properties – primarily on the Taranaki ring plain. The free plans detail recommendations for fencing and planting the property’s waterways, and set targets for implementation. The Council contracts nurseries to supply native plants to farmers at cost. The Council can also arrange planting contractors to undertake the work if required. A Government funding boost for the 2021 planting season will enable committed riparian plan holders to purchase native plants for $1 each, including planting by Council-arranged contractors. It is hoped this will help get many plan holders over the finish line and complete their planting. Get yourself a plan

Progress so far More than 6.2 million native plants have been supplied to landowners since the scheme began in 1996.
99.5% of Taranaki’s 1600 dairy farms have riparian plans. Across the whole region, there are about 2,600 plans covering 15,400km of streambank.
As at the end of 2020,a total of 88.6% of the waterways were fenced and 77.3% of streambank that required planting or vegetation were protected by vegetation.
