How do you think farm monitoring should be funded?

Libby Totton Reporter from Piako Post

Matamata-Piako District Council is weighing in on a proposed regional council rates change for Waikato farmers.

The Waikato Regional Plan has over 70 permitted activity rules, several of which relate to effluent and sediment discharges and are subject to proactive monitoring. As part of its Long Term Plan, Waikato Regional Council is proposing to change how it funds this monitoring.

Part of the new proposal is the introduction of a new primary industry compliance rate which will be assessed against all properties 20 hectares or greater in area.
