PLUG New Zealand

Story

PLUG is a cross sector group with representation from Dairy, Forestry, Drystock, and Horticulture. We're concerned about the range of implications the Waikato Regional Council's Healthy Rivers Plan Change 1 imposes.

We have joined forces out of shared concerns surrounding the Waikato Regional Council Healthy Rivers Plan Change 1.

Since we started, the group has experienced a great deal of interest from farmers across all sectors and from members of our rural communities, who will be adversely affected by this Plan Change. Due to this we have become an incorporated society.

PLUG supports the intention to improve water quality of the Waikato and Waipa rivers, proposed by Plan Change 1. But we believe that the provisions to achieve this must be economically, socially and environmentally sustainable - the current form of Plan Change 1 does not achieve this.

PLUG is working alongside like minded groups, such as Beef + Lamb and Farmers for Positive Change to provide a collaborative approach through the submission process, where possible.
