For reference, in the 2023/24 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 864 (89%) of a total of 967 consents monitored through the Taranaki
tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 75 (8%) of the consents a good level of environmental
performance and compliance was achieved. A further 26 (3%) of consents monitored required improvement

quality data was indicative of well-treated wastewater, with parameters typical of a municipal oxidation
pond system receiving minimal industrial waste loadings. No significant impacts on the Kaupokonui River
were recorded from the physicochemical parameters analysed during the mid-summer survey conducted in
January 2024, when a low discharge rate of well-treated wastewater characterised this system. No significant

While inflation has been trending down and is now
falling close to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s
target consumer inflation rate of between 1 and 3
per cent, the economy has remained sluggish with
gross domestic product rising by just 0.2% in the
March 2024 quarter. That followed a 0.1% fall in the
previous quarter.
We’ve had to factor these economic headwinds as
we work and adapt as many people in our region
have too. Prices are only just starting

In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the last several
years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance has improved since the previous year’s
review.
