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 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
Upper and middle reaches
very highly rated for
aesthetic and scenic values.
Median flow of 3500l/s at Mangatete Bridge. Steep gradients in upper and
mid reaches with significant water movement and many rapids. Water
quantity and movement contributes significantly to wild and scenic character.
39% total riparian cover, upper reaches mostly indigenous, middle reaches
mixed vegetation, exotic trees and pasture, lower reaches barren or
introduced grasses and weeds.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by SDC, this report also
assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
inspection visits to the site.
To monitor the exercising of consent 7470-1.2, abstraction volume and rate data are recorded electronically
and transferred to the Council via telemetry, so the data can be viewed in near real time.
Three groundwater monitoring bores are monitored to assess the potential effects of the abstraction on
local groundwater levels. One of the monitored bores is located within the grounds of Pukekura Park to
assess effects down-gradient of the raceway. Groundwater …
station is
maintained on the stream for the continuous measurement of flow rate and temperature.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd (meat processing plant) demonstrated an overall good level of environmental
performance.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take water from
the Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into the air.
During the period under review, there was one incident reported in

This is principally because, based on the
descriptions of the heating and ventilation systems, in my opinion, odour emission
rates will be lower and have the potential to be considerably lower than the
standard emission rate factors used for modelling odour from the chicken sheds.
38 In my view, the odour dispersion modelling results can also be calibrated using the
knowledge of complaints, compliance, and onsite odour observations, which
indicate a generally low level of
the 2021/2031 Long-Term
Plan (LTP)). General rates will increase by $1.77m (15%)
for 2023/2024 – an extra $30 per year for most residential
ratepayers. The LTP had forecast a $0.58m (5%) rise for
2023/2024. The Dividend Equalisation Reserve, grown
through the Council’s long-standing ownership of Port
Taranaki Ltd, contributed $1m to offset the rise in
general rates.
While there are no new work programmes to those set
out in the LTP, specific additions in the Plan include
