Join us online at one of these drop-in sessions designed to help Otago farmers and rural professionals stay up to date with rules around animal effluent storage, discharge, and related regulatory requirements.

Each of the four online sessions will begin with a 20–30-minute presentation from our consents and compliance teams about the recent and upcoming changes and rules for animal effluent storage and discharge.

This is followed by a Q&A session where you’re welcome to ask questions — our teams will be available throughout the entire online session.

There will be different sessions for each professional group. All the sessions run from 10am to 2pm — you can drop in and out at any time to ask questions.

Regulatory requirements:

• Recent and upcoming rule changes for farms, including Schedule 19
• Guidance on dairy conversion or certificates of compliance
• Key requirements for effluent discharge and storage consents

Consenting process:

• Understanding when you need storage or discharge consents
• What’s expected in an Effluent Management Plan
• Dairy shed water supply: whether your water take needs consent

Drop in at any time between 10am and 2pm, to either session.
