be repaid over 25 years from a targeted rate that would vary according to constituency. Households would pay
$51 to $76 a year, depending on location. This is up from the existing $11 to $20 a year.
For another $14 million we could also incorporate enlarged and extra hospitality spaces (Option 4). Expert
analysis suggests this would be a sound investment popular with event promoters and spectators alike. But we’d …

4 The method of calculation is based on the
amount of flue gases which the chimney is
expected to emit as a function of the maximum
rate of emission of sulphur dioxide. This applies
to fuels such as oil and coal. For natural

Recycling Contamination Media Campaign - *NPDC* *STDC* *SDC*
With the ongoing high recycling contamination
rates (>20%) a regular awareness campaign
continues to cut down contamination. Non-
recyclable materials continue to cause issues at
the recycling facility and have a big impact on
processing costs which will have a knock on
effect to rate payers. The next campaign will
focus again on ‘keeping it clean’ and expanding
into various target audiences by developing

Under the NPS-FM, water use is
managed by setting environmental
flows and levels, taking into account
any changes that are likely to occur as
a result of climate change. Limits can
then be set on the rate and amount
of water taken, and where and when
that water can be abstracted.
Monitoring of water use ensures that
people comply with the relevant rules
and regulations.
The Council’s current Regional
Freshwater Plan requires that 66% of
the mean annual low flow (MALF) be
retained as
the
region’s resources.

The monitoring showed that overall the NPDC water schemes are well operated and maintained and appeared
to be having no adverse effects on the environment.
NPDC provided all the abstraction data required under consent conditions and the data showed that all
daily volume limits and instantaneous abstraction rates were complied with. Self-monitoring of the
Inglewood discharge showed minor non-compliances with suspended solids limits, however this
