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 the OMV’s approach to

Pathway management is viewed by TRC as a key preventative measure for reducing the rate of
spread of pest plants and animals, and stopping new species from arriving in the region. The TRC
Biosecurity Strategy includes the following actions to achieve Objective 4.1:

Eventually, given enough time and a high-enough rate of spin and stretching, the tornado’s

By contrast, winds in the limited area at the middle of a tornado funnel are light, if not
approaching calm at the epicentre, as with the eye of a tropical

The categories used by the Council for this monitoring period, and their
interpretation, are as follows:
Environmental Performance
• High No or inconsequential (short-term duration, less than minor in severity)
1.3.2 Water abstraction permit (groundwater)
Section 14 of the Act stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by resource consent or a rule in a
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49

the groundwater abstraction
