· Under Taranaki's award-winning Riparian Management Programme,
thousands of kilometres of streambank and wetlands are being
voluntarily fenced and planted to protect and enhance the region's
waterways.
· The focus of the programme is on the ring plain and coastal terraces
where intensive dairying is the predominant land use.
· Fencing streambanks keeps stock out of waterways and vegetation helps
to trap and filter run-off from pasture.
resulted in a 29% net reduction in mean annual
suspended sediment load across the region, with a further
15% reduction expected as existing soil conservation
works mature. We expect further gains as the remaining
30% of landowners without farm plans join the Council’s
Sustainable Land Management Programme.
Critical to the success of this Programme is the provision
of plants to support soil conservation and riparian
management. The Council operates two plant provision

next 10 years.
The Plan is the fourth plan prepared by the Taranaki
Regional Council for its pest management functions.
This Plan identifies and sets out management
