What we want to know Measure Target Result<br />

The manageable nitrogen<br />

load within the Lake <strong>Taupo</strong><br />

catchment from pastoral land<br />

use activities is reducing by<br />

20% by 2018, from the<br />

benchmark average (2001 -<br />

2004).<br />

<strong>Council</strong> reduces the nitrogen<br />

discharge from its wastewater<br />

treatment plants within the<br />

Lake <strong>Taupo</strong> catchment by<br />

20% of the benchmark<br />

average (10,337kg/ year), by<br />

2018.<br />

As at 31 March <strong>2013</strong>, a total<br />

of 150.7 tonnes of nitrogen<br />

(164% of the target for the<br />
