Resource consent review

 CRC200194 (review of consent CRC030336.1) – to take and use water for irrigation from bore K36/0631, 500 millimetres diameter and 10 metres deep, at or about map reference NZMS 260 K36/9127-1686, at a rate not exceeding 24 litres per second for irrigation.

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 South 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 to have no minimum flow condition on the consent. This would mean that from 1 July 2023, the taking of water from bore K36/0631 will not be subject to the minimum flow restrictions set in the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan.

 CRC200204 (review of consent CRC203381) – to take and use water for irrigation from six bores, two of which are the subject of this consent review as follows:

• bore K36/0387, 100 millimetres diameter and 9.3 metres deep, at map reference NZMS 260 K36:9132-1676, at a rate not exceeding 18 l/s; and
• bore K36/0225, 300 millimetres diameter and 11 metres deep, at map reference NZMS 260 K36:90577-15926, at a rate not exceeding 22.7 l/s.

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 South Branch of the Ashburton River and the Ashburton River mainstem at the State Highway 1 Bridge recorder site, as it relates to the take of water from bores K36/0387 and K36/0225, which must be met from 1 July 2023, and which is set in the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan.

 The consent holder proposes to have no minimum flow condition on the consent. This would mean that from 1 July 2023, the taking of water from bores K36/0387 and K36/0225 will not be subject to the minimum flow restrictions set in the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan.
