  • 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.

  • Trends in the Quality of the Surface Waters of Taranaki
    Trends in the quality of the surface waters of Taranaki Taranaki Regional Council Private Bag 713 STRATFORD February 2006 Executive summary Section 35 of the Resource Management Act requires local authorities to undertake monitoring of the region’s environment, including land, soil, air, and fresh and marine water quality. Monitoring is undertaken to identify pressures upon the regional resources, their state, changes in their state (trends), and the effectiveness of the policies and actions undertaken to maintain and enhance the environment. The Taranaki Regional Council initiated comprehensive state of the environment monitoring programmes (SEM) in 1995 to inform itself and the regional community on the state of the region. The results of the programmes describing Taranaki’s environment have been reported twice to date. This report examines trends in the physicochemical quality of the region’s surface freshwater. With the accumulation of ten years’ data, and the development and implementation of appropriate statistical analysis tools, the Council is now in a position to quantitatively assess trends in water quality, taking into account variations in flow conditions. While the SEM data is the primary record used in this review, use has also been made of data gathered 25 years ago in a survey of the Taranaki ring plain conducted by the Taranaki Catchment Commission. The state of Taranaki’s surface freshwater is reviewed in general terms, and is also compared to various national guidelines and to comparable rivers and streams elsewhere in New Zealand. The findings of this work show that generally Taranaki has good to excellent freshwater quality, and water quality is generally not compromised for appropriate water uses.
