Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder/s during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating
as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual
proximity, giving us access to
amenity, services and activities that people value. While urban environments share these common
characteristics, they also have unique local variations; the traits that make one urban environment
different from another. Urban environments often have high rates of population and economic
growth. Reflecting this, they are dynamic, and are constantly changing to reflect the needs of their
communities. This constant change can have both positive and negative impacts:

this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.

The main rationale for the improvement required rating was due to the finding of objectionable odour on
two occasions within the monitoring period and the resultant issuing of an infringement notice.
For reference, in the 2017-2018 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 76% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored monitoring

However, it depends on which figures you choose when it comes to drawing
conclusions.

compliance. The ratings for these consent holders in 2015/2016 were found to be 71% ‘high’ and 24% ‘good’. By the end of December
2016, 81 of 97 draft reports had been completed to the point of delivery to consent holders for final review, with staff anticipating that
by mid-January the remaining would have achieved this level. A similar number of specific programmes are being delivered in
2016/2017. The farm dairy
