Not too late to have your say on pest management
26 April 2017
Controlling pests is vital in helping protect the health of individuals, our native ecosystems, businesses and livelihoods; which is why the Bay of Plenty Regional Council wants your input in developing the next Regional Pest Management Plan (RPMP).
The RPMP directs what pests will be the focus in our region and how they will be managed. As part of the process in developing the next plan, the Bay of Plenty Regional Council has released a discussion document for the public to review and provide feedback.
The document describes the pest management
issues facing the region and the Council’s proposed
approach to managing these issues.
So if gorse a real
thorn in your side, privet really gets up your nose or
wallabies and feral cats are your pet peeve, visit https://www.boprc.govt.nz/haveyoursay to
review the RPMP discussion document and fill out a feedback
form. Alternatively you can email pestplan@boprc.govt.nz.
Submissions close May 1st 2017. Then there will be another opportunity for the public to have their input through the formal submission process later in the year.
