What does the Draft Plan propose?
Farmers on the ring plain and the northern and southern
coastal terraces would be required to ensure that the
streambanks on their properties are fenced and appropriately
vegetated or planted by 1 June 2020.
If this is not achieved, they would need to apply for a resource
consent requiring stock exclusion from waterways and
completion of riparian planting. The consenting process would
cost an estimated $1200-$1700 plus annual
environmental or agricultural values on adjacent properties.

Good Neighbour Rules apply to what pests?
The Plan identifies twelve ’Sustained Control’ pests for which
Good Neighbour Rules apply. They include one animal pest –
brushtail possums, and 11 pest plant species. All 12 species
are widespread in the region and the aim of having rules is
to minimise impacts and costs being imposed on
neighbours.

from hardware stores or make your own.
Greens and browns

Taranaki. It is uncommon to
find tawhirikaro growing on
the forest floor in Taranaki
because of the high species
diversity and limited light
opportunities in the dense lowland forest. Taranaki has many sites of secondary
and older-growth forest, with large canopy or emergent trees that could host
tawhirikaro. It may in fact be more common than we realise – we just need to keep
looking for it.
