The New Zealand Federation of Freshwater Anglers NZFFA is appalled that the largest and best resourced regional council in New Zealand should propose rate increases of 24% or 18% to meet its obligations under the August 2020 National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.

conservatively estimated to be worth over $1.5 million

areas.
NZFFA was responding to a report
(
BusinessDesk Feb 16,) that government was not

immediately need. The association’s president Dr Peter
Trolove, a veterinarian with first-hand experience of fish
