recorded by the network from January 1994 until June 1997. These data were regularly
reported to Taranaki Regional Council (TRC), and data from the period January 1994 to
March 1995 were summarised in Cavill et al. (1997). In July 1997, GNS Science took over
responsibility for data analysis and annual reporting under contract to TRC.
In 2001, the GeoNet project started to improve the existing network for monitoring

performance of resource users against regional plans and consents. Compliance
monitoring, including impact monitoring, also enables the Council to continuously
assess its own performance in resource management as well as that of resource users
particularly consent holders. It further enables the Council to continually re-evaluate
its approach and that of consent holders to resource management, and, ultimately,
through the refinement of methods, to move closer to achieving sustainable

The Hangatahua (Stony) River was selected as a river with high conservation value and the
Maketawa Stream was identified in the Regional Freshwater Plan for its regionally
important recreational value. The Manganui, Patea and Waiwhakaiho Rivers, and the
Mangaehu River were chosen as examples of waterways with large catchments and /or

1991, the Council undertakes compliance monitoring for consents and rules in regional
plans; and maintains an overview of performance of resource users against regional
plans and consents. Compliance monitoring, (covering both activity and impact)

Description
Coastal marine
area
Coastal area adjacent to the land from Titoki ridge (Whakarewa Pā site) to right bank of
Waiau Stream.
The resources found along the coast of Nga Tai a Kupe have, since time immemorial,
provided the
present. There is
little information on aquatic life although surveys are planned in the future. A very large goldfish was
observed at the southern end of the middle wetland.
Ecological Values
Ecological context - High Part of a series of southern coastal dune lakes and wetlands that
together provide one of Taranaki's most significant habitats for the
'Threatened' Australasian bittern.
Vegetation associated with wetland margins are an 'originally rare'
air.
The Policy and Planning department of TRC has identified the potential need for
monitoring a residential/commercial area in New Plymouth to assess the impact of
Heavy Goods Vehicles on surrounding residential areas for air quality purposes. A
suggestion has been made for a site to be located at, or near to, the Moturoa
Shopping centre on St Aubyn Street, due to its proximity to Port Taranaki and a high
flow of heavy goods vehicles to and from this key transport hub. It is recommended
