Taranaki Regional Council water quality targets – have your say
Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) is consulting on water quality targets as part of the new Land and Freshwater Plan development. They are holding a series of in-person drop-in sessions where you can share your views. While B+LNZ will provide feedback, it is crucial for the Council to hear directly from rural communities. Key points the Council needs to hear from you are:
- Are the proposed targets achievable in your catchment?
- Examples of costs and impacts these targets could have on the ground for farming businesses and communities.
- Are the goals these targets are trying to achieve a true reflection of what your community wants to see?
See the TRC website for details about the proposed targets and where to attend a Council drop-in session.
