Reason for Report
1. Immediately prior to this meeting of the Regional Council, the Regional Planning Committee will consider, for recommendation to Council:

3. Council officers did not recommend a preferred outcome to the RPC for the Tukituki: Request for Plan Change item, instead providing the Committee with an assessment of the two options to either:

3.2. request that staff undertake preliminary consultation on a possible plan change to recalibrate the nitrogen figures.
