Pig hunting permits available

Greater Wellington Regional Council offers the opportunity for members of the public to undertake pig hunting in East Harbour Regional Park.  Permits will be issued for a 5 month period each year from 1 May to 30 September.

The hunting will play a part in controlling animals in the park, and also provide an opportunity for the recreational hunting of pigs within a designated hunting area in the Northern Forest Block.

Permits for non-firearm use will be issued on application.  Dog registration numbers or micro-chip numbers are required prior to permits being issued (maximum of 3 dogs).

For all hunting enquiries please contact Joanne Hunwick, ph (04) 526 5332 or email joanne.hunwick@gw.govt.nz.
