Court decision alarms Southland farmers
A recent Court of Appeal decision is poised to affect farmers in Southland.
This ruling relates to Rule 24 of Environment Southland’s proposed Regional Water Plan. Essentially, Rule 24 allows for the discharge of nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment, or microbial contaminants onto or into land, provided that, after reasonable mixing, these discharges do not adversely affect the receiving waterway.

With the long grey winter coming to a close, spring has seen new life with leaf buds and spring flowers starting to grow. If you are a green enthusiast, enjoy gardening or have a naturally wet area on your property then why not consider fencing it off and creating a pond.
