Community feedback round three

 

Between 18 September and 27 October 2023, we returned to communities across Otago to discuss region-wide proposed new rules and regulations on a variety of topics.

These included:

• Beds of lakes and rivers
• Damming and diversion
• Earthworks and drilling
• Environmental flows and limits (water quantity
• Other discharges
• Primary production
• Stormwater management
• Threatened species
• Solid waste management
• Wastewater management
• Wetlands

Some new rules and regulations for individual FMUs/rohe were also proposed.

These included:

• Environmental outcomes
• Target attribute states
• FMU/rohe provisions
• Environmental flows and levels and limits on take, diversion and damming of water
• Lakes
• River catchments

 

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback or came along to one of the community drop-ins to tell us what you want for land and water resources in our region.
