| Abstract: | This document shall be known as the Greater Wellington Regional Pest
Management Strategy (RPMS) 2002-2022. The current strategy was approved in September 2002. Under the Biosecurity Act 1993 (the Act) these strategies are required to be reviewed every five years. A Regional Pest Management Strategy must be reviewed every five years following the commencement date, or where it has been five years since the RPMS was reviewed in accordance with Section 88(6) of the Act. The existing strategy remains operable until such time as the strategy review is approved, including the completion of any rights of appeal under Section 88(4) of the Act. A review is commenced when a regional council publicly notifies a proposed strategy and provides an opportunity for the community to have input into determining the appropriate pest management objectives for the region. Following consideration of public submissions on the proposed strategy, amendments made as a result, and acceptance of Greater Wellington Regional Council’s (Greater Wellington’s) decisions, the final reviewed strategy is publicly notified under section 79F of the Act. This proposed strategy is the culmination of that five-year review process. |
