Temperatures measured at climate stations across the
region show marked increases in air, water and soil
temperature, particularly over the past decade. Changes
in river water temperature are more subtle, while air and
soil temperatures have risen sharply, with soil temperature
increasing at a rate of around 1.4°C per decade. Changes
over 10 to 15 year periods are affected by long-term climate
trends as well as changes due to shorter

administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the

satisfied with the region’s three bus
services – the Connector, North Taranaki’s
Citylink network and South Taranaki’s
Southlink - provided by the Taranaki Regional
Council.
The overwhelming support came from a
representative group of passengers, about 130
residents, who were surveyed and rated each of
the services on comfort, availability, timeliness,
driver attitude and price while riding the buses
in June and July.

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 Trust’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely provision of
information to Council (such as contingency plans and water take data) in accordance

and structures (natural and man-made) that fish are able to negotiate over (both up and downstream).
The diversion of water for abstraction poses another impediment to fish migration if there is no safe
passage back to the river.
Water diverted for hydro generation is potentially damaging for fish and lethal in some cases. Fish
passing through turbines are subjected to pressure changes, cavitation and shear damage, and
mechanical strike. The survival rate during turbine passage is

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 the Company’s
approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
provision of information to

region’s resources.
1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by STDC, this report also
assigns a rating as to STDC’s environmental and administrative performance during the period under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from
showed that all daily volume limits and instantaneous abstraction rates were complied with.
During the year, NPDC demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative
performance with the resource consents.
For reference, in the 2015-2016 year, 71% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through
tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental
performance and compliance with their consents, while another 24% demonstrated a good
level of
