This register records these speed limits. The bylaw allows the New Plymouth District Council to set or change the enforceable speed limits on roads under its jurisdiction. It does not however allow the Council to set or change the enforceable speed limits on New Zealand Transport Agency (State Highways) roads or other privately owned roads within the Council’s boundary. Designated Urban Traffic Areas The Council can formally resolve built up areas as Designated Urban Traffic Areas. The Council can formally resolve that built up areas are to be Designated Urban Traffic Areas. The default speed limit on the roads within these Designated Urban Traffic Areas is 50 km/h. Designated Urban Traffic Areas are listed in Schedule 5 of the Register. Roads within the Urban Traffic Areas can have a speed limit other than 50 km/h and these limits are set by Council resolution. A speed limit sign is then installed, and the road is recorded in this register and maps. Speed limits on roads outside the Designated Urban Traffic Areas are automatically 100 km/h, unless the Council has set a different speed limit by Council resolution. These different speed limits are made known by installing speed limit signs, and are then recorded in this register and maps. 2 REGISTER OF SPEED LIMITS SCHEDULE 1 Roads that have a speed limit of 10 km/h The roads or areas described in this schedule or as shown on a plan referenced in this schedule are declared to have a speed limit of 10 km/h.

This late matter related to the proposed purchase of land adjoining a current development project. The reasons why it was not on the agenda and why the discussion of the item could not be delayed until a subsequent meeting are as follows: • The land had only been confirmed as being available for purchase after the agenda was publicly released. • Any delay in finalising negotiations with the land owner, will likely result in there being insufficient time to complete the redesign and construction of works on an adjacent site. Section 46(A)(7) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, permits this item to be determined at the said meeting.

  • SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your Guide to the Touring Route Around Taranaki’S Coastline
    SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your guide to the touring route around Taranaki’s coastline taranaki.co.nz/visit WELCOME TO THE SURF HIGHWAY Surf Highway 45 is the 105km coastal route connecting New Plymouth (1) in the north to Hāwera (2) in the south. Between these centres there are dozens of notable places to stop, from surf breaks, beaches, points of historic and cultural interest, scenic spots, and cafés in vibrant and welcoming villages. A journey along the Surf Highway traces the route of generations of surfers, but it offers much more than just surf. The highway weaves through a number of Taranaki’s stories – the surf, the landscape, the rich history, and the creativity, all the while under the watchful gaze of Taranaki Maunga. For more information head to taranaki.co.nz/visit RICH IN HISTORY Taranaki’s history begins with our picture-perfect ancestor Taranaki Maunga and his mythical journey from the Central Plateau (brokenhearted after losing a battle for Mount Pihanga) and includes historic land battles, the birth of the passive resistance movement, and pioneering industrial growth, all of which have contributed to modern-day Taranaki and the many vivid stories we have to tell. These stories are best experienced through the many museums on offer, with the following located on or near Surf Highway 45. • New Plymouth’s waterfront Puke Ariki (1) is a museum, library and i-SITE providing information about the city’s past and present. A fascinating guided walk is also available – book at the i-SITE, 1 Ariki St, New Plymouth. • Tawhiti Museum and Traders & Whalers (3) has been repeatedly judged one of the country’s best museums, and has to be experienced to be believed.

This report for the period July 2015 to June 2016 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess NPDC’s environmental performance during the period under review. The report also details NPDC’s activities. NPDC holds 19 resource consents, relating to those water supply systems which include a total of 149 conditions setting out the requirements that the consent holder must satisfy. There are seven consents to take and use water, five consents to discharge to water, seven consents to maintain structures, and one consent to discharge filter backwash onto and into land. During the monitoring period, NPDC demonstrated and overall high level of environmental performance. The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included an annual inspection of each water supply scheme, three samples collected for water quality analysis, an assessment of the abstraction data provided, and three fish surveys. The monitoring showed that overall the NPDC water schemes are well operated and maintained and appeared to be having no adverse effects on the environment. NPDC provided all the abstraction data required under consent conditions and the data showed that all daily volume limits and instantaneous abstraction rates were complied with.
