The following provides a brief summary and commentary on the revised version of Waikato Regional Council (WRC) Plan Change1 (PC1).

The content focusses on dairy and drystock farming. There are additional provisions that are not discussed here for vegetable production and all farming within the catchment of the Whangamarino wetland. It is based on our current interpretation and as with everyone else we are working through the implications of the Hearing Commissioner’s recommendations. As pertinent new information comes to light we will endeavour to communicate this with you.
