In this section you can find out more about the possible effects of the project on the environment and the community. This includes a description about the project, assessment of the actual and potential effects, the alternatives considered, and assessment of the measures identified to avoid, remedy or mitigate the effects.

This report covers all of the aspects required for the assessment of environmental effects (AEE) in support of the NoRs and the applications for resource consent. Much of the technical information is from reports contained in technical reports and a cross-reference is provided to these reports where necessary.

The AEE report should also be read in conjunction with the plans contained in management plans and the draft management plans contained in the plan set. A cross-reference to relevant plans is provided in the AEE report where necessary.
