in their performance, while the remaining two (<1%) achieved a rating of poor.
For reference, in the 2022/23 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 878 (87%) of a total of 1007 consents monitored through the Taranaki
tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 96 (10%) of the consents a good level of environmental
performance and compliance was achieved. A further 27 (3%)
achieved. A further 26 (3%) of consents monitored required improvement
in their performance, while the remaining two (<1%) achieved a rating of poor.
In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the last several
years at this HEP scheme, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance has remains at a high
level in the year under review.
This report includes recommendations for the 2024/25 year.

Progress on the north access is still waiting on court decisions, which have now been
delayed until mid-April 2025. Once full access is obtained it will take 4 full construction
seasons (October – April) to complete the project.
The tunnel will be rated for dangerous goods cartage with water tanks servicing charged
fire hydrants and an egress passage to meet fire safety standards.

During the monitoring year the Council conducted two deposition gauge surveys to quantify the rate of
dust deposition beyond the site boundaries to determine if the dust caused significant amenity effects to
neighbouring properties. The results of the survey were close to, and in some cases exceeded, the consent
limits. However, further analysis of the deposited dust that the dust was

Executive Summary
2. Managing water quantity (including in lakes) is one of Taranaki Regional Council’s functions under the
Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). The current Regional Freshwater Plan (RWFP) allows the take
and use of water from lakes as a permitted activity (up to specified volume and rate limits) and, above
those limits, as a consented activity, but there is little guidance on managing the impacts of
fluctuations in lakes levels. Further, there is no
