Regional Plant Pest and Animal Pest Management Strategy
The pest management strategy provides the framework for managing defined pests in the region. It was made operative in July 2001 following the review of the existing Plant Pest and Animal Pest Management Strategies in accordance with the Biosecurity Act 1993, and has effect over the Hawke’s Bay region.
The purpose of the Strategy is to provide for the effective management of pests in the region, in order to:
- Eradicate certain pests;
- Control the spread of some established pests;
- Minimise the adverse and unintended effects of the pests;
- Monitor the presence of pests in the region; and
- Facilitate efficient pest control through a regionally co-ordinated approach.
