Gisborne has a new plan for forestry and farming landFriday 14 Feb 2025
Gisborne has been hit with 16 extreme weather events since 2017, with woody debris and slash consistently clogging the region’s waterways. In the past 20 months, tens of millions of dollars have been spent on funding for woody debris clean-up. During an open district council workshop on "resilient land use" last Thursday, councillors discussed a report detailing its operations and what it had been doing since Cyclone Gabrielle in February, 2023. Mayor Rehette Stoltz said the council had 28 actions working towards the "wicked problem" of the region’s vulnerable and eroding land. Among the 28 are plans for Overlay 3B – a process under the Tairāwhiti Resource Management Plan in which the region’s worst eroding pastoral farming and plantation forestry land would be planted with permanent vegetation cover.
