Do you think we have identified the biggest issues facing indigenous biodiversity in Wellington? Yes No Your comments additionally pest control should be given greater priority in these areas esp. the Miramar Peninsula and local and regional council need to take greater responsibility esp. in regard to stray cat control. 4.

Do you think we have identified the right organisations to partner with to achieve our objectives? Yes No Your comments not all- stray cat control should be developed as a policy ie. as part of current animal control. This could become a contestable function such as Kitten Inn or SPCA 6.

Yes No Your comments 2 1 8. Is there anything you feel has not been adequately covered by the draft plan? Yes No Your comments as above wrt. stray cat control 9. Do you have additional comments? (please attach additional pages via the 'Supporting Information' tab) Yes No Your comments we have neutered 6500 stray cats and kittens over the last 5 years on behalf of kitten inn. They are outgrowing their facility which is home based. We believe that there should be a microchipping policy put in place for all wellington cats to enable a policy of id and return to complement stray cat capture and removal Attached Documents File Our Natural Capital – Wellington’s Draft Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 3 2 Submitter Details First Name: Bronwen Last Name: Shepherd Street: 29 Ballantrae Place Suburb: Thorndon City: Wellington Country: PostCode: 6011 Mobile: 0212836909 eMail: [email protected] Trade competition and adverse effects: I could I could not gain an advantage in trade competition through this submission I am I am not directly affected by an effect of the subject matter of the submission that : a. adversely affects the environment, and b. does not relate to the trade competition or the effects of trade competitions.
