Increasing residential house prices and affordability
The cost of building or buying a first home in New Plymouth has increased, with housing
affordability decreasing.
Capacity in the short term relies on residential zoned land

In the subsections for each company (e.g. Section 2.1) there is a general description of the industrial activity
and its discharges, an aerial photograph or map showing the location of the activity, and an outline of the
matters covered by the company’s air discharge permit.
Subsection 1 provides a process description for each company.
Subsection 2 presents the results of monitoring of the companies’ activities during the period under review,
required, and targeted, for New Plymouth's future urban/residential

Summary
3. If Rule 52 of the Taranaki Regional Air Quality Plan (RAQP) applies, the
application is restricted discretionary. That does not imply that consent
should be granted, or in any way favour the granting of consent. The
matters reserved for control or discretion are extensive, and a thorough
consideration of each of them is required. This includes effects of odour
and dust generally (i. e. not

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:

8 The intensification of
monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-
economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic or
nine and
‘minimal’ in one. Where the vulnerability of an estuary
was ‘high’ or ‘moderate to high’, this was largely due to the
effects of sedimentation rather than eutrophication. This
was the case for seven of the 20 estuaries assessed, namely.
Mōhakatino, Tongaporutu, Urenui, Mimitangiatua, Waitara,
Pātea and Waitōtara.
Vulnerability to sedimentation was generally attributed
to high sediment loads from the catchment, and the high
proportion of soft mud

Current effluent application is considerably lower than historic application rates. However, nitrate
concentrations in the soil profile underneath the irrigation areas and in the tributaries flowing through or
adjacent to the site remain elevated.
A narrow but concentrated plume of ammonia is present in the groundwater resulting from previous leaks
in a finished effluent catch basin. This basin has since been repaired. A second
