Chilean Needle Grass Action Group - MPI Earthquake Relief Fund Bid
(E315-004-003-05)
(Report prepared by Jim Herdman)
The Chilean Needle Grass Action Group has had an Earthquake Relief Fund bid accepted in principle to help
landowners affected by the 2016 earthquake. The programme that is due to start this year focusses on
biosecurity issues faced by affected farmers. The programme will be managed by a project team from
Marlborough District Council, Environment Canterbury, Wine NZ, Beef and Lamb NZ, CNGAG and will be
coordinated by the NZ Landcare Trust.
The programme will work collaboratively with landowners, industry groups, councils and research bodies to
survey farmers about biosecurity risks, provide farmers with strategies to reduce their biosecurity risks and
run pilot trials on Chilean Needle Grass to establish management strategies. Pilot sites will be monitored and
be a focus for field days and case studies to share the learnings. Final sign off from MPI is expected soon.
Other Biosecurity Programmes
Marine Biosecurity Response (E315-013-005)
(Report prepared by Jim Herdman)
On 15 August NIWA divers found Mediterranean fanworm Sabella spallanzanii on the 22 metre luxury launch
Aquisition in Picton Marina. In total, 21 fanworm were found between 10 and 25 centimetres long. The
NIWA divers removed all from the vessel and they were disposed of.
The Aquisition came from the Gold Coast, sailed to Newcastle and was put on a cargo ship and transported
to New Zealand, arriving in Auckland in July 2016. It was inspected by MPI in Auckland on arrival and the
boat was also cleaned and anti-fouled at this time. From July to October 2016 it was in the Viaduct Basin
Auckland where fanworm is established. In November 2016 it sailed to Picton. Since its time in Picton it has
been outside Queen Charlotte Sound once to Stephens Island, Catherine Cove, Pelorus Sound and
Kenepuru Sound. It has sailed in the Queen Charlotte approximately six times since its arrival.
The owners have been very cooperative and last week the vessel was lifted and cleaned. A Council
Biosecurity Officer was present and no more fanworm were found. Checks have been, and will be, made of
the area where the vessel has been moored and travelled to, over the coming surveillance season.

Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 3National Wilding Conifer Programme Update (E315-023-001-01)
(Report prepared by Jono Underwood)
The management units receiving additional Crown investment were finalised in July 2017. Five new
management units in Canterbury, Otago and Southland are receiving new funds for the first time in 2017/18.
Full details can be seen at:
https://www.mpi.govt.nz/protection-and-response/long-term-pest-management/wilding-conifers/
In Marlborough, the Molesworth programme is continuing to be supported as a Priority 1 Management Unit in
accordance with its associated Operational Plan. In 2017/18, an additional $754,481 of funding is coming
from the Crown to go alongside the existing Department of Conservation core budget ($195,000) and also
contribution from Landcorp Farming.
Council is continuing to fulfil its role as ‘regional coordinator’ managing the Crown funding and ensuring
appropriate data standards and reporting requirements are being met.
Environmental Science
Transfer Pathways Project (E345-007-001)
(Report prepared by Peter Davidson)
The Transfers Pathways Project is a three year national research programme looking at how rainfall runoff
and associated contaminants get from the land surface to aquifers or rivers.
Until recently it was thought that most rainfall or runoff water entered rivers directly at the riparian margins. It
is now known that in most catchments a varying but significant proportion of water takes a longer travel path
underground before arriving at the river channel.
Marlborough is lucky to be one of three areas in the country hosting case studies and field trials. Council
staff have been actively involved in the research.
Exposure to cutting edge national research is important so that Council keeps up with the latest hydrological
science and geochemistry developments. These lessons are then applied by Council to fix local issues.
A workshop is taking place on 25 October at Lincoln University involving researchers from the various Crown
research institutes, along with staff from Marlborough District Council, Environment Canterbury and
Environment Waikato.
The purpose of the workshop is to update the participants on the latest results of the research from around
the country and to discuss the findings in a broader forum.
The results of the project are due to be released in late 2018 and will benefit the Marlborough region by
having leading experts focus on local issues, complimented by lessons from other regions with different soils
or climate.
Wairau Aquifer Recharge Mechanism Investigation and Marlborough
Environment Plan Limit Setting (E345-007-001)
(Report prepared by Peter Davidson)
Steady progress is being made on identifying the reasons for the long term declining trend in Wairau Aquifer
groundwater levels.
Understanding the causes is a prerequisite for setting environmental thresholds for the recharge sector of the
Wairau Aquifer. Limits have been set for the other Wairau Aquifer management sectors.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 4A range of different tools are being used to investigate the reasons for the decline. Field work has focused
on understanding how Wairau River water gets into the Wairau Aquifer and the sensitivity of the recharge
process to river works such as gravel extraction.
Computer based approaches have focused on internal aquifer processes and, in particular, the reservoir size
of the Wairau Aquifer.
A formal presentation to the Environment Committee will be made at the November 2017 meeting by Council
Groundwater Scientist Peter Davidson and collaborators Dr Thomas Wohling from the Technical University of
Dresden (Germany) and Scott Wilson from Lincoln AgriTech Limited in Canterbury.
Councillors will have the opportunity to ask questions of these independent investigators.
At this stage the tentative conclusions are:
• Wairau Aquifer inputs finely balanced by outputs from springs.
• Groundwater available for allocation is small with most needed to maintain downstream springs or
seawater interface.
• Wairau Aquifer storage sensitive to lower recharge or higher abstraction with only months to come and
go on.
• Several consecutive months of below average Wairau River flow causes Wairau Aquifer levels to
become low (depending on starting level).
• Allocation of higher flow Wairau River water is likely to be affecting rates of aquifer recharge.
Spring Status of Marlborough Groundwater Resources (E345-007-001)
(Report prepared by Peter Davidson)
Spring aquifer levels across all main aquifer systems are at or above their seasonal average for
September 2017.
The main driver appears to be the timing of rainfall rather than the quantum. A contributing factor may be
structural changes in Wairau Plain landforms, however precise surveys of how elevations of Council
monitoring wells and the general land surface may have changed are needed to be certain.
It is known that Southern Valleys Aquifer levels remain artificially high almost a year on from the 2016
Kaikoura earthquake. Notwithstanding the influence of the earthquake, groundwater levels in the
Deep Southern Valleys Aquifers were slowly rebounding from the high demand in the 2000/01 summer
drought and are now above Marlborough Environment Plan cut-off thresholds.
These deep aquifer systems currently store sufficient groundwater to meet consented demand for at least
one season in the event that the Southern Valleys Irrigation Scheme (SVIS) is significantly restricted.
Landowners, Council staff have spoken to, have remarked on persistently wetter soil conditions since the
earthquake, which is consistent with changes in elevation of the Wairau Plain land surface or the Council
groundwater monitoring network.
Groundwater Hydrology Visualisation Tools (E345-007-001)
(Report prepared by Peter Davidson)
Groundwater is a hidden resource. Understanding how it behaves is not as easy for hydrologists, well users
or the general public as it is for rivers.
Council has been working with GNS Science over the past year to create new ways of conceptualising
groundwater processes using movies and slide shows.
This work explains, in a simplified manner, how groundwater behaves and is almost complete.
Three tools are being developed depicting:
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 5• how nitrate-nitrogen concentrations in Wairau Plain groundwaters change seasonally since 2010
• the regional scale geological evolution of the Lower Wairau Plain and western Cook Strait area
• evolution of alluvial sediments forming the upper 50 metres of Lower Wairau Plain closest to the
surface and hosting the Wairau Aquifer
These tools are not gimmicks or kids toys. They take existing time series of Council measurements and
simplify them or speed them up to convey key messages.
Visualisation is a new and innovative way of communicating complex concepts. Simpler messages, with just
the distilled take home conclusions, are something the Environment Committee has requested.
Paul White from GNS Science and Peter Davidson from Council will demonstrate the three tools at the
February 2018 Environment Committee meeting.
WELLS & SEDIMENTS Database Redevelopment (E345-007-001)
(Report prepared by Peter Davidson)
The final modifications to the Council WELLS & SEDIMENTS database are being made in October 2017 and
it is hoped that the new system will be available for staff to use by November.
The restructuring and design of the new database has been carried out by Council staff, while the
programming has been carried out externally.
The major change from the old WELLS database is the addition of a module to accommodate geotechnical
information.
With irrigated crops now covering most of the Wairau Plain, there are fewer water wells being drilled.
Conversely with the huge increase in soil and land strength testing following the Christchurch, Seddon and
Kaikoura earthquakes, most new records to be added to the database are geotechnical in nature.
Marlborough District Council Groundwater State of the Environment
(SoE) Monitoring Network Access Review (E345-007-001)
(Report prepared by Peter Davidson)
Council operates a network of dedicated Council wells or privately owned wells to observe the behaviour of
Marlborough’s economically and ecologically important aquifers.
Council measurements are used for understanding the hydrology of our water resources and their
management via the Marlborough Environment Plan and resource consents.
Continued access to the wells used by Council is vital so that long time series of levels or quality are not
interrupted.
Council is likely to make formal arrangements with landowners of private wells that Council use as monitoring
sites to maintain ongoing access. Most of the Council wells forming the network have been deliberately sited
on public land so there is long term security of tenure.
Lower Wairau Plain Land Liquefaction Risk Assessment (E345-007-001)
(Report prepared by Peter Davidson and Alan Johnson)
Earthquake experts from the engineering school at Auckland University were commissioned by Council to
assess the liquefaction risk for land in eastern and southern areas of the Lower Wairau Plain. This project is
an outcome from funding Council received from the Earthquake Reliance Funding from the Ministry. The
work supplements some research work already completed in the Ōpaoa river catchment area.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 6The results of the work will be used by Council to identify areas which are at risk for building or closer
settlement. The work will also assess the risk to its floodway stopbank infrastructure from a large local
earthquake.
The team, led by Dr Liam Wotherspoon, has completed the first stage of the investigation which is the review
of test information provided by staff from the Rivers & Drainage and Environmental Science groups of
Council.
The existing MDC WELLS database has proven to be a valuable source of information for the study, along
with land testing work by the Rivers & Drainage group of Council of stopbanks following the 2016 Kaikoura
earthquake and realignment of a stopbank on the Wairau River.
A significant amount of information for the study was also sourced from reports held by Council of the testing
of bridges, power line pylons and building sites carried out by private landowners or central government
agencies or utilities in Marlborough.
The next step in the investigation involves a follow-up field visit to sites in three areas of the Lower Wairau to
look for signs of liquefaction. Council is liaising with landowners in the area for access permission.
It is expected that Dr Wotherspoon will present the results of the study to Council at Blenheim within the next
six months.
The project is making a major contribution to evaluating the risk to property and Council infrastructure from
what is a major natural hazard for the Marlborough region.
Water Resource and Climate Update and Summary to September 2017
(E320-001)
(Report prepared by Val Wadsworth 2 October 2017)
This report is prepared using data from Councils Environmental monitoring network, as well as sites operated
by NIWA and data from the Marlborough Research Centre.
Executive summary
Regular rainfall, relatively mild temperatures, and lower than average wind run in the last few months have
contributed to very good soil moisture conditions across most of the District.
Rainfall
Rainfall over the last few months has been above normal in all areas, particularly in northern and western
areas. Frequent rain events, coupled with mild temperatures, and below average wind runs have resulted in
wet ground conditions in many areas, giving the impression of excessive amounts of rain. In actual fact while
rainfall has been above average, no month has been particularly wet, rather it is the combination of frequent
rain days, and a succession of slightly above average monthly rainfall which have resulted in the current soil
conditions. Generally rainfall totals this year are tracking between 105 and 125% of normal.
The following graphs show the monthly rainfall totals for 2017 at four representative sites, compared to the
long term monthly averages for those sites. The Blenheim graph also shows the actual monthly
evapo-transpiration (ET). The difference between monthly rain and ET indicates the likely soil moisture gain
or loss.

River Flows – July 2017
As would be expected from the rainfall situation, river flows have been above normal, with soil moisture
conditions resulting in good runoff.

Harbour Six Weekly Activity Summary
(Report prepared by the Harbour Master) H100-014-01
The Harbour Maritime Safety Management System sets out Performance Monitoring and Reporting
requirements. By reporting regularly on key indicators, reflecting both the performance of the Harbour
Authority and that of port and harbour users, appropriate measures can be adopted and introduced which
may further improve maritime safety.
The table below provides an overview of the critical functions delivered by the Harbour Master Group since
the last Committee meeting.

Paul Smith has been appointed to the position of Maritime Officer and will start on 9 October. This is a critical
position in the Harbourmasters team and we are looking forward to having Paul on-board.
A consultation phase for the proposed Navigation Safety Bylaws commenced in early August and will run
through to 31 October. Feedback has been mixed but generally supportive so far. A communications plan will
be enacted through October to ensure maximum public engagement with the process.
The Navigation Safety Bylaws will primarily target recreational vessels. Regulation of large ships will be
achieved under the Maritime Transport Act via Harbour Master Direction.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 11Work continues on formulating the General Direction mentioned above. This core document regulates
commercial maritime activity in the Harbour including shipping, pilotage and towing. The Direction is a
significant risk mitigation strategy and will be heavily informed by the revised Harbour Risk Assessment. The
services of an external risk consultant may be strategically employed to add additional rigour to the process
and facilitate workshops with key stakeholders.
A draft 2017 Marlborough Harbour Risk Assessment was received on 11 August. This work by Marico Marine
and informs the Harbour Safety Management System. The Harbourmaster is presently reviewing the draft
document and a revised draft is due early October.
Once the risk assessment is finalised work will continue to tie all of the Harbour activities back to risk. This
will link the maritime risk identified in the Harbour Risk Assessment and how mitigation of each of these risks
relates to the work the harbours team undertakes. The intention is to be able to demonstrate the real cost of
mitigating each risk.
The Transport Investigation Commissions investigation into the grounding of the Cruise Ship Azamara Quest
continues with final recommendations expected later this year. Work continues with Port Marlborough to
embed the lessons learned from this incident and ensure a safe efficient pilotage service and provision of a
safe waterway.
The project to install a weather monitoring buoy near the Pilot Station at the Northern Entrance to
Queen Charlotte is beginning to take shape. The buoy will have a dual role as a navigation aid while providing
wind, current and wave data in real time to pilots. Multiple other weather stations as utilised by ships pilots will
eventually be linked into a single network.
Additional infrastructure projects for the purpose of harbour and shipping control include the rationalisation of
the AIS network, the implementation of virtual aids to navigation capability, current monitoring and analysis in
Tory Channel Entrance and enhancement of the VHF radio local port service.
A final copy of the revised MDC pilot exemption certification programme has been prepared. This sets the
standard for the certification enabling Cook Strait ferry masters and other ships masters to operate in the
waters of the region without a pilot on-board. The document will shortly be submitted to the Director of MNZ
for approval.
The skipper training workshop initiative received a regional award from Coastguard Central Region for Best
Community Activity. This was the winning activity from a pool of 16 Coastguard units. The workshop will now
be entered into a national Coastguard competition.
The Harbour Masters skipper training workshops have also led to a positive uplift in enrolments in the
(Coastguard Boating Education) CBE Day Skipper course. In June sufficient enrolments in the Day Skipper
course enabled it to be run in Marlborough for the first time in more than three years. A second Day Skipper
Course was in Picton on 19 - 20 August.
Technology has been installed in Picton Harbour to give boaties an indication of their speed when leaving the
Marina. This will serve a useful education purpose and also support our efforts to encourage boaties to travel
at a safe speed in Picton Harbour over the summer period.
In conjunction with the above, a safe speed enforcement campaign to target high risk problem areas in the
Sounds is being devised and is expected to be very visible over the summer months. New technology to
enable accurate detection of vessel speed in the maritime environment will be employed.
Work continues on evolving the Cruiseguide to better meet the needs of boaties. Educational videos are
being developed to explain how to use water-ski lanes, navigate near ferries, utilised VHF radio in
Tory Channel and other key messages.
A target of auditing 200 marine farms during the financial year has once again been set. The focus this year
will be on ensuring follow up audits are undertaken. As no audits have occurred in the last six weeks, a
separate report on marine farm audits has not been provided.
All navigation aids and lighthouses have been maintained to the standards and specifications required by the
International Association of Lighthouse Authorities. As no failures of Navigation Aids have occurred in the last
six weeks, a separate report on navigation aids has not been provided.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 1210 incidents have been recorded since the last incident. The most publicised was the wreck of a vessel near
Cape Jackson, an incident that required a helicopter evacuation of two persons. The wreck was salvaged
successfully a few days after the incident.
An incident summary table provided below.
The Harbour Maritime Safety Management Systems defines Performance Monitoring and Reporting
requirements.
A summary of activities undertaken by the Harbour Master Group meets these reporting requirements and

Noise Control Contract Performance 2016/2017 (E350-007-009-02)
(Report prepared by Karen Winter)
Background
Under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), Council has the ability to deal with Excessive Noise.
Excessive Noise in the RMA means any noise that is under human control and unreasonably interferes with
the peace, comfort or convenience of a person. It includes noise emitted by a musical instrument, electrical
appliance, machine or people (such as talking/laughing).
The Council contracts Armourguard to action excessive noise complaints.
On receipt of a complaint, a Noise Control Officer goes on site to assess whether the sound is excessive or
not. The officer will undertake a subjective assessment and determine if the noise is reasonable or not. The
level of noise that is acceptable varies according to location of neighbours, time of day, zone you live/work in,
presence of sound barriers and the type of noise. Officers do not use any monitoring equipment to determine
if the noise is excessive (as it is not based on plan noise limits) but use a matrix that provides a scoring
system. If the noise is deemed to be excessive, an officer will serve a written Excessive Noise Direction
(END) to reduce noise, which is in force for up to 72 hours. Failure to obey the direction can result in
equipment seizure, an infringement fee of $500 or a conviction for an offence and fine up to $10,000.
An Abatement Notice to cease creating a noise nuisance can also be issued to the occupier of the premises
if there are ongoing occurrences of excessive noise. If the occupier fails to comply with the Abatement
Notice, the officer (with the assistance of the Police) can remove or disable the equipment that is causing the
noise immediately, without the need to first issue an Excessive Noise Direction.
Contract Performance
There were 1104 complaints received regarding excessive noise from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017. This is a
reduction of 99 from the previous year.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 22From 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017 there were 105 Excessive Noise Directions (END) issued and five
seizures of equipment. One of the seizures was a car battery and the others were stereos. These numbers
do not vary greatly from recent years.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 23There were no Noise Abatement Notices issued during this period.
Training of Noise Control Officers continues to be conducted to ensure consistency in assessing excessive
noise.
Monthly meetings are conducted with the local Armourguard Manager and the Environmental Health Team to
discuss any issues, concerns or improvements that can be made in processes.
Information brochures have been developed to inform people on the process involved when they are issued
an Excessive Noise Direction. A copy of this brochure is included in this report. Other brochures are being
developed on how to make a complaint and the process that occurs following a complaint.
Complaint numbers and trends are monitored daily by the Environmental Health Team to see if any
properties are becoming an ongoing nuisance to their neighbouring community. Along with this, the reports
from Armourguard are delivered to Council each week. These reports are checked for accuracy and
consistency as well as meeting performance requirements of the contract.
Summary
Armourguard continues to action excessive noise complaints as they are notified to Council. The
Environmental Health Team will continue to monitor their performance to ensure that there is a consistent
and appropriate response to excessive noise complaints.

Dog Owner Satisfaction Survey 2017 Results (E360-006-02)
The purpose of this report is to inform Council on the results of Council’s Dog Owner Satisfaction Survey
for 2017.
Council instigated a new survey of all dog owners in 2016. The survey was designed to receive feedback
from dog owners on the services and functions provided by Council and the Animal Control contractor
Maataa Waka.
A hardcopy survey was again mailed out to all registered dog owners with their dog registration packs in June
this year (a copy of the survey is appended to this report).
Council designed the survey for feedback and to identify areas for improvement on:
(a) Forms and payment options.
(b) Awareness of operating hours during registration and the microchipping service provided Animal
Control.
(c) How dog owners receive registration information.
(d) Accessibility of dog information on Council’s website.
(e) Need for increased educational material in any particular area.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 29(f) The media platform of preference for dog related information.
(g) Locations for dog parks.
(h) The overall performance of the Animal Control services.
Survey results were entered and analysed.
Survey Results Summary
Council received 1001 responses to the survey this year (last year 1034 responses were received).
The overall satisfaction of Animal Control services by dog owners was:
(a) 37.34% Very Satisfied
(b) 44.87% Satisfied
(c) 3.6% Unsatisfied
(d) 6.88% Very Unsatisfied
(e) 7.31% Don’t Know
• 88.3% found the registration documentation easy to very easy to understand (last year 90.5%).
• 98.1% clearly understood payment options available (last year 98.3%).
• 94.1% clearly understood the date registration was required by (last year 98%).
• Only 29% of dog owners were aware of Animal Control’s extended hours during registration (last
year 22%).
• Only 47% of dog owners were aware that a microchipping service is provided by Animal Control (last
year 28%).
• The majority of dog owners responded they heard about registration from the registration forms they
received via post 72.4%, the second highest method was newspapers at 31.5%. Animal Control
vehicles now have signage about paying dog registration by 1 July and 37 people (4.1%) recorded
seeing this signage.
• 60.7% of dog owners knew where to look on Council’s website for relevant information (last year 57%).
• 65.6% of dog owners considered there was enough educational material provided by Council or Animal
Control (up from 58% last year), 25.8% did not know and 8.6% said that there was not enough material.
• Of those dog owners who did not consider there was enough education information available, 60% of
responses (note more than one option could be selected) wanted more information on dog exercise
areas, 36% of responses wanted more information on dog owner obligations followed by 28.7% wanted
more information on barking dogs.
• When asked where they would like further information made available, 30% of responses were
newspapers, 30% newsletters, 28.5% Council website, 26% social media, and 21% radio (note more
than one option could be selected).
• This year’s survey included a question on dog owner preference to receive registration forms 75% of
responses were hard copy in the post and 28% were electronic via email (note some people ticked
both).
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 30• When asked about where dog owners would like to have dog parks there were 942 responses (see
Figure 3 below). 55.5% of respondents would like a dog park in Blenheim followed by 30.3% in Picton
and 26.9% in Renwick.
Figure 3: Where would you like to have Dog Parks in Blenheim?
Proposed Actions in Response to Survey
Feedback and comments regarding the location and need for more rubbish bins and poo bags has been
given to the Animal Control Sub-Committee.
There were a number of comments that some dog owners are not picking up after their dogs. The patrols
undertaken by Dog Control Officers do monitor compliance with the Dog Control Act 1996 and Council
Bylaws including requirements to pick up dog faeces and carry dog leads.
The survey had some comments about signage issues. A signage review is now underway starting in Picton.
The Animal Control Sub-Committee is currently working on proposed dog parks in Blenheim and Renwick.
The survey did have some comments that owners would like to have grades of fees for good or responsible
dog owners. A review of the dog fees is currently underway which is looking at the various categories and
fees for the 2018/2019 registration year.
It is proposed to continue to undertake the dog satisfaction survey on an annual basis to coincide with
registration as it is a good and cost-effective way to reach all registered dog owners.
Summary
A dog owner satisfaction survey was undertaken, 82.2% of dog owner survey responses were satisfied or
very satisfied with Animal Control services.

Over the first 36 weeks of the 2017 calendar year Council received 714 applications for resource consent.
Of that total, 660 were new applications for resource consent. Council also received 46 applications under
section 127 (variations to resource consent conditions), five extension to lapse dates under section 125 and
three objections to conditions under section 357. Over the same period in 2015 and 2016 Council received
890 and 963 applications respectively. The average number of applications received weekly to date in 2017
is 19.8.

Since the final part of the Resource Management Amendment Act 2013 came into effect on 3 March 2015,
Council has rejected 241 applications for resource consent for incompleteness. Prior to this legislative
change Council rejected less than 1% of all applications received. Over the first 36 weeks of the 2017
calendar year Council has rejected 34 applications (4.8 %). There has been a significant reduction in the
number of applications that are being rejected which indicates a better understanding by applicants of the
new requirements.
There are currently 452 applications being processed by the team. In 2015 the number in processing was
259 and in 2016 the number in processing was 343. The number of applications spiked with notification of
the new Plan on 9 June 2016. However since the earthquake on 14 November 2016 the number of
applications has gone down, except in the land disturbance area. The number of road/bridge works and
gravel extractions applications being received has increased considerably over the last 12 months. Despite
an overall reduction in the number of applications, duty planner enquiries are continuing at a high volume.
Consequently Council has appointed a second duty planner to meet customer needs. Summer Denize
commenced in this role on 12 September 2017.
Environment Information Package - 12 October 2017 - Page 34The second phase of Government’s reform of the Resource Management Act, the Resource Legislation
Amendment Act 2017, obtained Royal Assent on 18 April 2017. It contains approximately 40 amendments
and makes significant changes to five different Acts, consequently amending several others. This is the most
comprehensive package of reforms to the Resource Management Act since its inception 26 years ago.
The intent of these changes is to deliver substantive improvements to the resource management system, to
support more effective environmental management and drive capacity for development and economic
growth. In particular the amendments aim to provide stronger national direction, a more responsive planning
process, a streamlined resource consent process and better alignment with other legislation.
The RLAA directly amends five different Acts: the Resource Management Act 1991, Conservation Act 1986,
Reserves Act 1977, Public Works Act 1981, and Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf
(Environmental Effects) Act 2013. Consequential changes have also been made to other Acts.
Some of the changes to the Resource Management Act have taken immediate effect. Other changes have
transitional periods specified in the Resource Legislation Amendment Act 2017. The majority of changes to
the resource consent process come into force six months after enactment, on 18 October 2017.
The section has been extremely busy with hearings over the last couple of months. A number of these
hearings have been very controversial. There are seven hearings scheduled for the next two months:
