Federated Farmers and DairyNZ are pleased the Horizons Regional Council has adopted the recommendations of the Independent Hearing Panel for Proposed Plan Change 2.
“This gives some certainty for farmers who have been in limbo,” Federated Farmers National President and Manawatu dairy farmer Andrew Hoggard says.
“Importantly, PC2 is an interim measure, intended to address the pressing issue about the One Plan’s workability while a more fundamental, region-wide work programme is completed to give effect to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020.”
Horticulture New Zealand is welcoming Horizons Regional Council’s decision to adopt recommendations on Plan Change 2 that affect vegetable growing. ‘‘The new requirements are tough but growers are up for the challenge,’ says HortNZ Chief .

The Environment Court has recently closed the application
of Forest & Bird Society that sought to reintroduce Hutt
City Council’s withdrawn proposal for Plan Change 46. The
proposed plan change was to apply restrictive “Significant
Natural Area” restrictions on over 1200 private properties
in Lower Hutt under s.6C of the Resource Management Act
1991. The failure of the Forest and Bird application
confirms and reinforces the Council’s 2018 eventual
decision to work collaboratively with private property
owners and support their efforts to protect and enhance
indigenous biodiversity after an extended period of dispute
with local landowners.
