getting more people on board.” The ‘zero possum’ project, a joint initiative with Taranaki Mounga Project (TMP), set out to eradicate possums from a 4,500 hectare area including 2,300 hectares of the Kaitake Range, 2,000 hectares of Kaitake farmland and Oākura town. Mr Ellis says eradication is within reach and the new resources allocated to the project will speed up progress. A new technician is now based at Pukeiti, the site of a remotely monitored 1300 trap barrier, while a new contractor is
prosecution, however. Most of the problems arose with the performance of pond systems. The increase is partly the result of more sampling being carried out than in the previous season, when the programme was disrupted by COVID-19. The dairy inspection round runs from October to April, with Council officers making unannounced inspections of all 1600-plus dairy farms with a consent. The Committee was told it’s the Council’s largest monitoring programme, and has just undergone a periodic review, resulting in

Background
Taranaki has over 500 named rivers and streams, many of which contain spots or places
valued for swimming. However, water quality in the region, as in other parts of New

our cleanest waterways may exceed recognised

Regional Council carried out an
ambient air quality survey at the Bell Block
bypass. This monitoring was initiated to
assess the impact of increased traffic
movement on air quality due to expansion
of commercial premises in that area. Due to
the relatively high traffic flows in this area,
it is considered that air quality in the
vicinity likely to be lower than across most
of Taranaki.
The ambient survey involved the
measurements by portable meter and
