With all three proposals included in
the 2017/2018 Annual Plan, general rates will go up 1% as opposed to the 0.5% rise forecast for
2017/2018 in the 2015/2025 Long-Term Plan.
This Consultation Document sets out the details and implications of what we’re proposing in these

the monitoring year. The associated analyses indicated that CO2 emissions, steam use per
unit of gas, and metal depositions all exhibited reduced or similar levels to previous reporting from 2015-
2019.
Additional ambient air quality monitoring for carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was
conducted per the Company’s request under conditions 8 and 9 from consent 4087-2. The results indicated

consents to discharge effluent and solids to land, two consents for structures in watercourses, and one
consent to discharge emissions into the air at the plant site.
Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction
rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent
loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections of the plant site and
viable.
To assess where irrigation may be viable modelling of irrigation demand was carried
out. Only land with a slope less than 15 degrees and that is currently classified as
‘productive farmland’ was considered. Weather and soil water holding data was then
analysed and parameters around irrigation application rates and reliability of supply
were applied.
For the cost benefits of irrigation to be determined the pasture yield response to
irrigation was assessed using the AusFarm

GROUND PREPARATION
(pre-plant spraying)
Clear away all grass and weed competition
before planting. Rank vegetation can be
spot-sprayed with a knock-down herbicide
containing the active ingredient glyphosate
eg. Roundup G2. Glyphosate has low
toxicity to wildlife and soil organisms, and
breaks down fast. Spray three or preferably
four weeks before plants go in. Use
Roundup at a rate of 10 ml per litre of

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 required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.
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
region’s resources.
