Subject: LGOIMA REQ 627127 DOM C Joint Witness Statement Request for Fresh Water Regional Plan Change 20250724

Dear Northland Regional Council,

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request the following information:

1. The most recent joint witness statements (JWS) involving environmental scientists or technical experts that discuss the setting or reviewing of freshwater targets, limits, criteria, or thresholds, 2. These statements should relate to your most recent regional plan change where such matters were addressed.

If no JWS exist, please confirm whether any expert conferencing or similar collaborative evidence processes took place, and provide the relevant outputs (e.g., conferencing reports, summary statements, or meeting notes).

Please provide the documents in digital format.

If any part of this request is likely to require substantial collation or processing, I am happy to refine it in consultation with you.

Yours faithfully,

Dom C

We haven’t undertaken a Freshwater Plan Change under the NPSFM 2020 to
have any joint witness statements.

 

There may be joint witness statements on the proposed plan when notified
(2017) that included ‘Water quality standards and guides’ in Appendix H3
and ‘Environmental flows, levels, and allocations’ in Appendix H4.

 

Link here to proposed plan with Appendices H3 and H4
 [1]www.nrc.govt.nz/media/2yojfgax/proposed-regional-plan-february-2024.pdf

 

Would you like us to look for any Joint Witness Statements on these
sections of the proposed plan from hearings around 2019?
