the region’s landscape as well as protecting and enhancing
waterway quality. The rate of implementation of riparian work is
accelerating and to date, farmers have completed 3,558km of new
fencing and 1,766km of new riparian planting. In total, 80% of
stream banks are fenced and 65% of streambanks are vegetated.

if Atrazine, Simazine, or Carragard are also
applied. Atrazine and Carragard have proved
unsafe with seedlings raised in peat pots.
Release spraying of trees will normally be
necessary 4-6 months after planting. Young
container-grown seedlings of some Eucalyptus
species can be affected by even low rates of
Carragard and extreme care is required when
using this chemical not to exceed 3 kg/ha active
ingredient (terbumeton and terbuthylazine).
Simazine at 1.5 kg/ha a.i. appears to be safe on

Executive, Audit and Risk Committee Meeting Monday 16 September 2019
Recommended
THAT the Taranaki Regional Council:
a) receives this report on participation in STRESS-3 for a further
improvement in the Trust’s environmental and administrative performance is required. During the year
under review inadequate maintenance of the treatment systems on the discharges resulted in a breach of
the suspended solids limit on the consent. The unauthorised discharges caused a conspicuous change in the
visual clarity of the tributary below the site. An abatement notice was issued and re-inspection found that
the abatement notice had been complied with. Ratings are as defined in Section 1.1.4.
Rates
WW noted that those projects that are important (rated high priority) will get
enhanced FAR - between base FAR and 100% depending on each AO. Low
cost/low risk projects (under $1m) aren’t included.
VL noted advanced FAR – do it now (only available for this NLTP period).
SH noted that an end of life structure would more likely gain a high rating.
SB suggested safety or access related projects would be key strategies on GPS –
advanced FAR.
