The Deadline is Looming for Farm Environmental Management Plans

 

There are approximately 860 properties in Central Hawkes Bay that still require a completed Farm Plan by 31 May 2018 in order the meet the requirements under the Tuki Tuki Plan Change. The deadline of 31 May 2018 is quickly approaching, with just over 6 months left to go, the Hawkes Bay Regional Council is advising that financial penalties will be imposed if land owners have not completed a Farm Plan by this deadline.

Our advice to farmers is to not put this off, nutrient management regulations are a tool used by Regional Councils to meet their responsibilities imposed by the Resource Management Act and are being rolled out nationwide, so this is not something that will go away.
