The Tairāwhiti Gisborne region is prone to hill country erosion. The Sustainable Hill Country (SHC) programme supports landowners to increase protection of highly erodible land through targeted planting and fencing.
Under the Tairāwhiti Resource Management Plan (TRMP), land within Overlay 3A must be treated with effective tree planting or reserve fencing. See Chapter 7 of the TRMP for full requirements.
