Trend
analysis has been carried out using the LWP-Trends library R package (version 1901), developed by Land
Water People Ltd. (Snelder and Fraser, 2019). The methods employed have the primary purpose of
establishing the direction and rate of any trend, along with a measure of the uncertainty in the result. Trend
analysis is undertaken using the last 10 years of monitoring data (1 July 2010 to 30 June 2020) when the
following criteria have been satisfied:
• There is at least 75% data …

and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.
1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders,
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
studies undertaken in the late 1980s by
the Taranaki Catchment Commission showed that the entire Taranaki coastline is eroding at
long term average rates between 0.05 m/year and 1.89 m/year with exceptions at the Patea
and Stony (Hangatahua) river mouths where the coast was accreting. Erosion rates differ at
different locations, primarily due to differences around the coast in geology, coastal
orientation, proximity to river mouths and matters such as dune management.
Recalculating erosion
councils provide kerbside landfill, glass and mixed
recycling services and separate glass collection. Over the
past five years, Stratford and South Taranaki household
waste disposal has remained static. Stratford has the
highest disposal rates per household for landfill waste
collected at kerbside, and will need to increase its recycling
rate of 20% to meet its 2023 target of 29%.

tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 96 (10%) of the consents a good level of environmental
performance and compliance was achieved. A further 27 (3%) of consents monitored required improvement
in their performance, while the remaining one (<1%) achieved a rating of poor.
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 remains at a high level.
This report
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 2.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored
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.
