Horizons Council – Double Standards?
The environmental impact of New
Zealand’s dairy industry has been a key focus for media
recently. But little attention has been paid to wastewater
treatment plants which process urban sewage and discharge it
to both land and waterways.
Horizons Council, in charge of the Manawatu-Wanganui region, has been trying to introduce its One Plan, which would impose nutrient caps on farmers. A Government-commissioned report has suggested it would drop some farmer’s profits in the region by up to 43%.
But is Horizons as tough on the seven district councils in the region, which are responsible for wastewater treatment plants?
Country99TV investigates Horizons Council to discover shocking details on the compliance records of its district councils, and the heavy-handed treatment of local farmers.
