SUBMISSION FORM
Tukituki Catchment Proposal Submission Form
This submission form is for the Tukituki Catchment Proposal. The Proposal includes the Hawke’s Bay Regional
Council’s (HBRC) Proposed Plan Change 6 to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan (RRMP)
called in by the Minister for the Environment and the Minister of Conservation, and a notice of requirement and
applications for 17 resource consents lodged with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) by the Hawke’s
Bay Regional Investment Company Ltd (HBRIC Ltd) for the Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme (RWSS).
Proposed Plan Change 6, the notice of requirement and the applications for the 17 resource consents are
collectively referred to as ‘the matters’.
The Proposed Plan Change 6 seeks to address specific water allocation and water quality issues in the Tukituki
River Catchment. The applications for the RWSS are for the construction, operation and maintenance of: a
dam/storage reservoir on the Makaroro River; a small (6.5 megawatt) hydro-electric generation plant; and intakes,
headrace canals, pipelines and outfalls together creating a water distribution network on the Ruataniwha Plains
(within the Tukituki Catchment). The RWSS applications also include: beach nourishment near the mouth of the
Tukituki River; planting and associated works within a flood control scheme area; and the use of production land
facilitated by irrigation. The notice of requirement is for a new designation providing for the primary distribution
system headrace canal and pipelines forming part of the RWSS.
