RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991

Resource consent review:

Consent Holder:         Mr & Mrs C D & L A Galloway
Address for service: 1982 Ashburton Staveley Road, RD1, Ashburton 7771

CRC200269 (review of consent CRC952441) – to take and use water at a rate of up to 240 litres per second from the North Branch Ashburton River for the irrigation of up to 150 hectares at Ashburton Staveley Road, Ashburton.

The Canterbury Regional Council issued a notice of review to the consent holder in July 2019, under section 128(1)(b) of the Resource Management Act 1991, to insert a new minimum flow condition for the North Branch of the Ashburton River and the Ashburton River mainstem at the State Highway 1 Bridge recorder site, which must be met from 1 July 2023, and which is set in the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan.

The consent holder proposes an alternative minimum flow condition that does not include the North Branch minimum flow. The proposed alternative minimum flow, to be met from 1 July 2023, will mean that whenever the flow in the Ashburton River mainstem, at the State Highway 1 Bridge recorder site, is:

• at or below 7,275 litres per second, the taking of water shall be subject to a reduction of take during the next succeeding day as set out in Table 1 below; and

• at or below 6,000 litres per second, there shall be no taking of water during the next succeeding day.
