WinnerGlenn and Lynda Howatson - For leadership and excellence in environmental stewardship or sustainable farming and land use practices. The eastern hill country farmers have planted more than 7,000 riparian plants and fenced hundreds of metres of waterways and taken steps to protect six wetlands. They hold a TRC Comprehensive Farm Plan and have used STRESS funding to plant trees on 37ha on their
Essential Freshwater package. This work continues, and will be one of the largest projects in the Council’s history. It is also eyeing implications of the Three Waters reforms, the new legislation being developed to replace the Resource Management Act, and the Government’s review of the future for local government, which has just got under way. During the year, a record 1 million plants were distributed to the region’s farmers under the long-running Riparian Management Programme, thanks in part to a $5
and protection of the Kapuni Awa.

in 2000 and brought into production in 2006. The offshore Tui well was discovered in 2003 and brought on-stream in 2008. Production from the offshore Kupe field, first discovered in 1986, commenced during 2010. The presence of oil and gas in the region has given rise to industries involved in the processing, distribution, use and export of hydrocarbons. Production stations or gas treatment plants are found at Oaonui, Kapuni, Waihapa, Rimu, Kaimiro and the McKee oil and gas field. An ammonia urea

like the Council’s highly-successful riparian management
scheme and hill country erosion control through the
South Taranaki and Regional Erosion Support Scheme.
But there is still a long way to go before communities
can be confident their freshwater is safe, healthy and
able to support their wellbeing. Achieving this requires
substantial investment. Over the next three years,
