spray management practices
1. Introduction
This Appendix has been developed from various sources of information, including
information sheets from MAF, and regional plans developed by other regional councils.
The material relating to spray management is based on information contained in New
Zealand Standard 8409: Agrichemical Users Code of Practice, June 1995, developed
by the New Zealand Agrichemical Education Trust.
This Appendix has been included in the Plan in a simple and

• Chemical additives can poison the creatures that live
in a water body.
Even a very small quantity of pollutant, or just one
accidental discharge can drastically alter the quality of a
stream. Fish, insects and plant life can be killed and
their habitats destroyed. The stream can take many
years to recover.

the environment but there are other people in the

If a fence is frequently inundated, and

• A guard on the spray wand allows for
spraying closer to plants. Alternatively,
drop an old plastic container or pipe over
each tree, so that the spray can be
applied up to a few centimetres from the
tree while avoiding any contact.

Executive summary
Section
Statement on Urban Development Capacity (NPS-UDC) was introduced by the
Ministry for the Environment (MfE) in 2016. At the same time, MfE also defined New Plymouth as a
high growth district (i.e. projected to grow by more than 10 per cent from 2013 to 2023).
As a high growth district, the NPS-UDC requires the Council to assess housing and business demand
and capacity across the district. The New Plymouth District Council and the Taranaki Regional Council
must provide sufficient development
initiative, including regional and district councils, industry groups and waste
minimisation organisations.

Where to get advice
The Taranaki Regional Council offers a free advisory
service to landowners who need to control erosion in
the hill country. A Land Management Officer can visit
to discuss any problems on-site and if need be, prepare
either an erosion control plan for a specific problem, or
a comprehensive soil conservation plan for the entire
property.
