Increase support for landowners and community groups involved in action that improves biodiversity, riparian retirement and biosecurity.
Increase delivery of free education and advisory services for primary industries in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
Maintain sensible and achievable pest management.
Commit more resources to monitoring and compliance of environmental regulations.
Ensure that regulation is minimised to focus compliance efforts more effectively.
Monitoring and reporting will be part of the reforms happening over the next few years. There must be a strong community voice at the table.
There is significant work being done in pest management, but not always in the right places. Our native forests are at risk of collapse.
Enforcement and compliance seems to be a bit lacking, with many cautions and no action. This must change, especially with water pollution.
