Farm Plans
Freshwater farm plans are a tool under the Resource Management Act that will incorporate farm-specific mitigation to improve freshwater outcomes. MfE are seeking feedback on the content of the plans, the outcomes they need to achieve, how plans could be certified, audited, and amended, as well as advice on the transition to implement them. The freshwater farm plan discussion document is available here.
Members of the public can give feedback on farm plans by making a submission before 12 September here.
Stock exclusion low slope maps
MfE are also asking for feedback on stock exclusion low slope maps via a separate discussion document. Feedback is being sought on:
- A different mapping approach called ‘local terrain averaging’
- Altitude limits and removing tussock and depleted grassland from the map
- The balance between using the low slope map and freshwater farm plans for identifying areas for stock exclusion.
