3.4.2 Pad 1 & 3 (shared stormwater collection system) stormwater capacity
Stormwater leaving catchment area of pads 1 and 3 is channelled and directed to a single discharge
point via a series of ponds. This potentially results in a less concentrated discharge compared to non-
point source discharges.

CONSERVATION
Giant kokopu have a conservation rating
of ‘At Risk, Declining’. They were once
very common and used as a primary
food source for Maori and early settlers.
THREATS
The main threats include:
Habitat loss and degradation.
Predation and competition by
introduced species.
Protect streamside vegetation by fencing it off from stock.
Plant native plants along stream edges to provide shaded habitats for
eels.
Create, protect and enhance wetlands on your property.
Encourage eel conservation and discourage over-fishing.

QUICK FACTS
Brown mudfish are the largest
species of mudfish in New Zealand.
Though they are named mudfish they
much prefer clear, non-turbid waters.
They can survive around two months
out of water.
It was the first mudfish species to be

pastoral land use at a rate higher than 190 kg/ha/year (sections 32 to 36 ).
What happens next?
The Government will announce more regulations in the near future. As we work through these, updates will be
posted here and communicated directly where necessary.
We recognise there may be challenges ahead, however the Council is committed to implementing the
Government requirements in an effective, pragmatic way

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by NPDC, 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
management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.
