that established more recently for the NOF guideline and therefore results cannot be directly translated to
NOF bands. The Council is now also conducting a NOF-aligned periphyton monitoring programme.
Long-term trends in periphyton cover have been analysed using a combination of the Mann-Kendall

Ratepayer Roll: If a person is on the parliamentary roll in one area and
pays rates on a property in another area, this person may be eligible
to be enrolled on the non-resident ratepayer roll. A firm, company,
corporation or society paying rates on a property may nominate
one of its members or officers as a ratepayer elector (provided
the nominated person resides outside the area). Ratepayer Roll
enrolment forms are available from respective territorial authority
websites, or by
consent holder and unforeseeable (that is a defence under the
provisions of the RMA can be established) may be excluded with regard to the performance rating applied.
For example loss of data due to a flood destroying deployed field equipment.
