South Road Quarries Ltd held water permit 0275-2 to take and use up to 27 cubic
metres/day at a maximum rate of 4 litres/second of water from the Waingongoro
River for shingle washing purposes.
Consent 0275-2 was surrendered on 15 September 2010.
There were two special conditions attached to this consent.
Condition 1 related to the construction, operation and maintenance of the intake

Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering of static water-level by
interference with any adjacent bore;
• The abstraction shall not cause the intrusion of saltwater into any fresh water aquifer.

Figure 3: How respondents enjoy Taranaki surf breaks 5.1 Number of responses and certainty
The number of responses for each surf break varied between 0 and 110,
however only two breaks, Montgomery Beach and Cliffs, had no responses
and the average response rate was approximately 24, which was considered
a very good response rate overall. The number of responses often varied
for each attribute of a surf break as a result of ‘don’t know’
