Taranaki Biodiversity Trust has 19 groups and agencies as founding members. The condition of remaining wetlands is improving under the Council's programmes. 72% of wetlands covered by Council-developed biodiversity plans showed improvement in overall condition between 2010 and 2015, compared with 31% of wetlands without a plan. There has been a small (1.3%) loss of wetland area

management system. In the instances when the pond system overflows, a silt trap and a rock lined basin have been installed to further treat the page 8 discharge. This will optimise treatment efficiency prior to the flow reaching the wetland (referred to as the soakage basin in the Allied Concrete’s water management plan). A dish channel has been cut near the main entrance to redirect all stormwater from the front yard into the wetland. A dish drain has also been cut in the
