Proposed Regional Pest Management Strategy

The plan is still proposed subject to resolving any appeals. 

The purpose of this Regional Pest Management Strategy is to provide for the efficient and effective assessment, management and/or eradication of pest plants and animals in the Gisborne District by:

• minimising the risk of the introduction or dispersal of new pest species;
• controlling the dispersal of any established pests;
• controlling pest densities and/or range (including eradication);
• minimising the adverse effects of pests and pest management on the environment;
• facilitating the integration of regional pest management with adjoining regional strategies and national controls.
