Lake Rotorangi is due to be performed in
the 2020-2021 period.
Lake condition, in terms of lake productivity, continued to be within the category of mesotrophic to possibly
mildly eutrophic (mildly nutrient enriched). However, taking into account the influence of suspended
sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately
mesotrophic. Previous trending of these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the Company, this report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and
administrative performance during the period under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment from the activities during the monitoring year. Administrative
performance is concerned with the Company’s approach to demonstrating consent
compliance in site operations and
implications of wastage. This was especially evident in the industrial sector, and several
local businesses affiliated to large companies with head offices overseas noted that
environmental management was built into their systems.
There are however, significant areas where awareness is not high or opportunities to recycle
are limited, and also anecdotal evidence of poor practice in some sectors.
This points to the need for educational programmes targeting areas where recycling rates (if

Summary of findings:
The New Plymouth district is expected to experience high population growth.
Housing: In general, all housing indicators show upward trends. The cost of building or buying a
first home in New Plymouth has increased, with housing affordability also on the rise in the short
term.
Rent has continued to increase but the rate of change remains steady, alongside rental
affordability.
Subdivisions: The increase

Of the 64 forest remnants assessed between 2008 and 2014, more than half were found to be in ‘Good’ or ‘Very
good’ condition. A very small percentage of forest remnants were considered to be in ‘Poor’ condition.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period

NPDC monitors both the incoming wastewater and the treated wastewater

and analyses for various parameters at both weekly and monthly intervals. The
volume of incoming wastewater is measured and recorded continuously. The
treated effluent discharged has continuous measurement of flow rate and pH.
