Tasman District Council
Environment and biodiversity
Protecting the environment and managing natural resources is a key responsibility of regional councils. Regional councils are often also involved in pest control and resource management.

Commit to listen, consult and keep connected to the community through the development of the Tasman Environmental Plan.
Continue to partner with the community to support community-led initiatives such as wetlands planting and pest control projects.
Review of enforcement policy that sees education and solutions as a primary outcome, enforcement and prosecution a last resort.
Continue working with communities to safeguard biodiversity-rich areas through restoration, predator control, and native tree planting.
Protect highly productive soils for regional food security to ensure food resilience for our future.
Support the creation of a circular economy, by investing in recycling, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating ecosystems.
Extend beyond protection to focus on the regeneration of our unique and special biodiversity for the benefit of future generations.
Focus efforts on waste reduction. The landfill is one of our biggest emitters. There is really no excuse for excessive waste in 2022.
Support grassroots initiatives that are leading the charge on conservation. Birdsong Trust, Janszoon, and Friends of Flora to name a few.
All the above issues with one exception are managed quite well in my opinion.
I will fight for a complete overhaul of the compliance division of the Tasman District Council! This division has caused misery to many of our residents.
Putting people first. Listening to our community's concerns over the above issues is what I am here for.
