The intention is that IRIS NextGen will be cloud based with better online and mobile features. IRIS NextGen will
be more efficient for staff and customers.
Along with the software solution, we anticipate implementing consistent “good practice” processes for the
sector.
Over the next two years, RSHL will identify:
• The IRIS NextGen solution.
• A transaction plan for existing users.
• A growth plan to attract new councils to the programme.

periods of peak irrigation water demand normally coincide with periods of low flows in rivers and
streams. During these periods, the Council closely monitors river flows and the exercising of water permits.
The majority of surface water permits for irrigation require the abstraction to cease when the flow in the
river providing water for irrigation reaches, or falls below, a specified level (minimum/residual flow). Policy
6.1.5 of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki states that at least

certificates of compliance, which confirm that, at the time the applications were considered, the emissions to
air from the sites complied with the RAQP, and that no resource consents were required to cover emissions
to air from the sites at that time.

application. The application was to provide a timeline of when works would be expected
