The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction might exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering

initiatives implemented to date in the waste plans have had an effect in
reducing the amount of waste disposed per person. However, within each district, an
increase in waste disposed per person occurred over the last two years in South Taranaki
whereas Stratford and New Plymouth disposal rates continued to reduce in 2020/2021.

years and since 2019, from Council facilities to Bonny Glen landfill. This decrease

water cannot permeate faster than a certain rate and the area be 50m away from any water
body or drain. If an area is appropriately sealed and effluent appropriately
combined with efficient recycling, the small volumes of surface water
required to be abstracted for washing at quarries fit within the permitted activity rule
[Rule 15] of the Regional Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki. That is, the abstraction
volume shall not exceed 50 cubic metres per day, and the abstraction rate shall not
exceed 1.5 litres per second.
