SECTION B FOR RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL

Waikato Regional Plan rules pertaining to land drainage maintenance Agenda Item 7 Doc 10493763

Presented by Clare Crickett - Director Integrated Catchment Management, to provide a response to a request received seeking clarification of the rules within the Waikato Regional Plan as they relate to activities associated with the maintenance of waterways within land drainage schemes. During discussion, the following was noted:

Dabbling duck rules protect the duck breeding season. It was an exclusion achieved by NZ Fish & Game Council through the Regional Plan process.

There was concern that as a result of the rules, weeds were removed without consideration of silt management.

The requirement that all works be undertaken in as little as three months per year created significant difficulties given the size of the area covered by the rules.

It was convenient for many farmers to clear drains as they worked in a particular area for other purposes. This was difficult due to the way the rules operated.

It was important that rules fit practical circumstances.

It was necessary to identify issues associated with:

The rules;

How the rules are being interpreted, by both regulatory officers and operational staff; and

An assessment as to whether the rules are working as intended.

A review of coastal and regional plans was underway. Engagement would commence in 2018 and notification in 2021.

The motion was put and carried (ICM17/36) Malcolm Lumsden moved/Robert Hicks seconded

ICM17/37 RECOMMENDED

The motion was put and carried (ICM17/37) SECTION A UNDER DELEGATION FOR THE INFORMATION OF COUNCIL

Waikato Regional Council Long Term Plan and Level of Service review Agenda Item 8 Doc 10586741

Presented by Greg Ryan – Principal Advisor to provide an:

overview of the issues that are impacting the flood protection and control works, integrated catchment services, and regional hazards and emergency response activities, in lieu on further consideration as part of the process to develop the Waikato Regional Council 2018- 2028 Long Term Plan.

overview of the feedback provided by catchment committees on these issues.

alert to other issues that may require attention in the future, but are unlikely to require specific consideration at this point in time.

During discussion, the following was noted:

In addition to the issues impacting on services, some zones needed more infrastructure to deal with the increasing impacts of tourism.

Growing biosecurity threats were also an issue that would have an impact on resourcing.

The next scheduled review of the Regional Pest Management Plan was in year two of the Long Term Plan.

Developments including roading, urban development and the Horotiu and Ruakura inland ports would have an impact on biodiversity.

The Council has processes to keep abreast of development activity undertaken or regulated by other agencies such as city and district councils.

The review process was an opportunity to review the river schemes to see where there were benefits, and where improvements could be made. The review of flood schemes would be challenging. There would be instances where rising sea levels and resulting changes in land use have an impact on catchment scheme performance.

Myrtle Rust Response – Ministry for Primary Industries Agenda Item 11 Doc 10614003

Presented by Mark Bateman Ministry for Primary Industries Regional Controller to provide an update on the Myrtle Rust national biosecurity response led by the Ministry for Primary Industries. During discussion, the following points were noted:

Cr Fred Lichtwark noted his interest as manager of Whaingoroa Harbour Care which, amongst other things, runs a plant nursery to resource conservation projects.

The Ministry for Primary Industries had issued guidance on how to deal with the Myrtle Rust threat. Waikato Regional Council’s actions and communications were designed to be consistent with the Ministry for Primary Industries’ directions including planting alternative species wherever possible. Clear protocols from the Ministry for the Environment would assist.

The movement and planting of Myrtle plant species carried significant risk of disease spread without careful control. Waikato Regional Council kept records of the source of plants used in the works it carried out.

The Ministry for Primary Industries was working with local bodies and other agencies to increase levels of surveillance. A number of outbreaks had been identified nationally and the Ministry for Primary Industries undertook rigorous eradication processes including disease tracing.

The climate requirements of Myrtle Rust limited its spread to the top of the South Island.

There was work being undertaken on long-term solutions such as plant resistance. No solution had been developed anywhere in the world yet.

Cr Stu Kneebone moved/Maxine Moana-Tuwhangai seconded

West Coast Catchments Committee Agenda Item 13.5 Doc 10571377

Copies of the minutes of the West Coast Catchments Committee meeting of 6 June 2017 were provided.

During discussion the following was noted:

Rob Jolly had resigned as Chair of West Coast Catchments Committee. The Integrated Catchment Management Committee thanked Rob for the valuable contribution he had made in the Chair position.

The approach to the risk posed by Myrtle Rust was changing with growing experience dealing with outbreaks. The Ministry for Primary Industries was leading the national approach which was available on its website. Catchments needed to work together on the problem ensuring that actions were consistent with the Ministry for Primary Industries.

There was concern that messaging from the Ministry wasn’t reaching the public in the way needed to raise awareness and harness the best response.

Restricting the movement of susceptible plants was one method of containing the spread of Myrtle Rust. Sourcing plants from the region, to be used in the region may assist in minimising its spread. There would be additional benefits in the support of the local economy and the integrity of local species. Issues with rules relating to competition were noted in relation to this approach.

Cr Fred Lichtwark moved/Cr Kataraina Hodge seconded

Recommended THAT Waikato Regional Council sources the plants it requires for its work in the region from growers in the region.
