(L). This type of assessment is similar to the guideline for
assessing odour in the RAQP.
The FIDOL factors are explained in greater detail below:
• Frequency; relates to how often an individual is exposed to odour. Factors determining this
include the frequency that the source releases odour (including its source type, characteristics
and the rate of emission of the compound or compounds); prevailing meteorological conditions;
and topography.
• Intensity: is the perceived
Mann-Kendall test.
The sign (+/-) of the Kendall tau value was used to assess whether the trend was
positive or negative and the significance of the trend was determined using the p value
(p < 0.05 = significant).
When multiple correlations are undertaken, there is a chance that some will be found
to be significant purely by chance. In order to deal with this potential problem, the
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) method was applied to the results of

reviewed in December 2018.
Housing: In general all the indicators in this group have increased with the exception of the
housing affordability measure, which has improved. This leads us to believe that while the cost
of building or buying a first home in New Plymouth has increased, it is less than the rate of

Rent has continued to increase but the rate of change has decreased, therefore renting has

Summary of findings:
We are expected to be a medium-high population growth district.
Residential Indicator Group 1: In general all the indicators in this group have increased with the

Regional rates will remain virtually
unchanged under the 2017/2018 Annual
Plan adopted by the Taranaki Regional
Council.
“It’s pleasing that we will remain one of the
lowest-rating Councils in New Zealand,”
says the Council Chairman, David
MacLeod. “Our focus remains firmly on
ensuring our programmes and operations
are efficient and effective and of value to
the community,
for servicing the liability, with the aim of
avoiding the use of rate income.”
The story now: The inherited debt was largely
paid off by 1997, when the Council received
its first cash dividend from the port. Dividends
have since offset rates requirements, and the
Council also operates a dividend equalisation
fund, in which any dividends surplus to budget
are kept for when dividends are below budget.
