Abstract

The Regulations rules that a person who owns or controls stock must comply with these Regulations. A stock under the Regulations means beef cattle, dairy cattle, dairy support cattle, deer, or pigs; and to avoid doubt, does not include any feral animal. The Regulations establish a general exclusion of stock from lakes and wide rivers for dairy cattle, pigs, dairy support cattle, beef cattle and deer intensively grazing on any terrain and beef cattle and deer on low slope land. Regulation 7 allows exceptions to requirements in regulation 9(b), 10(b), 11(b), 12(b), or 14(b) in relation to a wide river if it is too difficult to install a dedicated bridge or culvert because the river has a highly mobile bed; and the person ensures that stock are supervised and actively driven across the river. Moreover, the Regulations rule that stock must be excluded from natural wetlands identified in regional or district plan (R. 16), from natural wetlands that support threatened species described in National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (R. 17), and from natural wetlands on low slope land (R. 18).
