This consultation closes at 4pm on Friday 27 November 2015.

Council will consider all the comments received in preparing a new regional pest management plan.  All the pest management programmes in the new plan will be subject to the cost benefit analysis required by the Biosecurity Act 1993. The new plan will be notified for public submissions in 2016.  Council will have another period of consultation and then make decisions on any submissions received. Submitters will have the opportunity to appeal those decisions to the Environment Court.  Once any appeals are resolved, or if no appeals are lodged, the new plan will come into effect.
