Decisions of Southland Regional Council on the Proposed Southland Water and Land Plan which are appealed by HortNZ:

Appeal Provision or Scope Reason Relief sought Point Decision

1. Policy 39A HortNZ made a The HortNZ submission stated that providing Move Policy 39A Integrated Integrated submission (390.18) for integrated management in the development Management from ‘Consideration of Management on Policy 39A of the Plan was supported. However Policy Resource Consent Applications’ to seeking that the 39A lists integrated management as a follow Policy 47 under ‘Freshwater policy be deleted. consideration for resource consent Management Unit Process Policies’ applications. This is considered to be inappropriate consideration of integrated management as it requires consideration of factors beyond the individual consent application and will unreasonably burden applicants. Integrated management is appropriate at a plan level which is implemented through methods in the Plan.This should not be a consideration in individual resource consent applications without a substantial information being publicly available on catchment dynamics, identified resource management issues, identified catchment specific outcomes and appropriate identified catchment limits. The decision states that the amendments sought by HortNZ would unjustifiably weaken the plan and reduce its effectiveness in achieving its objectives and for giving effect to the superior instruments. The decision amends Policy 39A to include consideration of the cumulative effects of land

use and discharge activities within whole catchments, including through the Freshwater Management Unit (FMU) process. The changes made to the policy make it more aligned with the Freshwater Management Unit Process than resource consent applications. Section 30 a) of the RMA lists the establishment, implementation and review of objectives, policies and methods to achieve integrated management of natural and physical resources of the region as a function of the regional council. Providing for integrated management should be intrinsic within the planning framework, against which a consent application can be considered. The amendments to Policy 39A in the decision including the Freshwater Management Unit process align with the direction in provided to the FMU process to facilitate the collective management of nutrient losses and also the interactions between freshwater, land and associated ecosystems. Therefore, rather than delete Policy 39A as sought in the HortNZ submission it is sought that the policy is moved into the policy section relating to the Freshwater Management Unit

Appeal Provision or Scope Reason Relief sought Point Decision

process. This would ensure that integrated management is considered as part of the FMU processes, including establishment and implementation of appropriate objectives, polices and methods to achieve integrated management within the FMU’s without placing an unreasonable burden on resource consent applicants.

2. Rule 14 HortNZ made a HortNZ sought a number of changes to Rule Amend Rule 14 a) iv) as follows: Discharge of submission (390.28) 14 so that it was more effects based rather Where any lake, river (excluding fertiliser seeking that Rule 14 than setting arbitrary setback distances as a ephemeral rivers) artificial water be amended. single mechanism to manage risks.

5

Appeal Provision or Scope Reason Relief sought Point Decision

However HortNZ is concerned that: i) Rule 14 a) iv) relates to ‘wetlands’ rather than natural wetlands, which are more precisely defined in the Plan. ii) Rule 14 b) requires a non- complying activity if the permitted activity standards are not met. HortNZ has appealed the definitions of both natural wetland and ‘wetland’ and seeks clarity as to how the definitions will be applied through the rules in the Plan. Rule 14 is one such example. The definition of natural wetland provides greater clarity for plan users as to where discharge of fertiliser would be excluded in terms of Rule 14 a) iv) 2). In addition, a default non-complying activity rule would indicate that such an activity is not anticipated in the Plan. HortNZ considers applying a non-complying blanket provision is a significant step from the permitted activity rule. If there are specific areas in Southland where a non-complying activity rule for discharge of fertiliser is necessary then a more targeted approach should be included in the Plan, rather than application of the broad ‘catch-all’ provision in Rule 14 b). It is noted that the default rules for Rule 20

6

Appeal Provision or Scope Reason Relief sought Point Decision

Farming are either restricted discretionary or discretionary and the default for Rule 25 Cultivation is restricted discretionary. There appears little justification for the discharge of fertiliser rule to be more stringent than the default rules for Rule 20 or Rule 25. The s42A Report states that ‘the ultimate purpose of the rule is to ensure fertiliser does not enter waterways.’ It is not considered necessary to have a non-complying activity rule to achieve that outcome where the permitted activity standards are not met as effects can be managed through conditions.

3. Rule 25 HortNZ made a HortNZ sought to ensure that cultivation Amend Rule 25 b) as follows: Cultivation on submission (390.30) activities are undertaken according to best The use of land for cultivation and sloping seeking that Rule 14 practice to minimise the risk of sediment associated sediment control ground be amended. discharges to water and set out a range of mechanism, that does not meet the amendments sought to the provisions in Rule HortNZ also made setback distances of Rule 25(a)(ii), is 25. further submissions a permitted activity provided the relating to Rule 25 The decision makes amendments to Rule 25, following conditions are met: opposing in part but not specifically as sought by HortNZ.

OR Best practice for cultivation is set out in the v) the cultivation is undertaken in ‘Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for accordance with the ‘Erosion and vegetable production (Horticulture NZ 2014)’ Sediment Control Guidelines for which take a risk based approach to assessing vegetable production (Horticulture potential effects from the activity and selection NZ 2014)’ of appropriate mechanisms to address such potential effects. It is noted that the Hearing Panel has accepted the HortNZ COP for Vegetable Washwater in Rule 36 as a means of compliance with the

8

Appeal Provision or Scope Reason Relief sought Point Decision

rule, yet such a provision is not included in respect of the Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Vegetable Production’. It is recognised that the focus of the rule is on managing cultivation on sloping ground where there is a risk of sediment run off, even though some of the slope categories have been removed in the decision. However vegetable growers are not undertaking cultivation on steep ground and are able to manage the potential effects through application of best practice. The rule as currently written would require resource consents for cultivation for vegetable growing even if the activity is undertaking best management practice for the activity. Use of best management practice is sought in Objective 18 and this is a clear instance where efficient resource use and environmental outcomes can be implemented through the use of best practice.

4. Definition HortNZ made a HortNZ sought that the definition of cultivation Amend the definition of cultivation as cultivation submission (390.42) be amended to: follows: seeking that the Preparing land for the growing and harvesting Preparing land for the growing and definition of of pasture of crop by mechanical tillage and harvesting of pasture of crop by cultivation be includes sediment control measures, but does mechanical tillage, direct drilling, amended. not include direct drilling. herbicide spraying or herbicide

The decision amends the definition of spraying followed by over-sowing for cultivation, but not as sought by HortNZ. In pasture or forage crops (colloquially particular the definition does not include referred to as ‘spray and pray’) and harvesting or sediment control measures. includes sediment traps, but excluding any spraying undertaken The s42A Report and decision report do not solely for the control of pest plant appear to consider the HortNZ submission species. points relating to harvesting or sediment control measures. It is noted that the decision includes a new definition for sediment trap, which are an important tool for managing potential sediment runoff from cultivation. Therefore, it is important that sediment traps are included as part of the cultivation activity. In addition the harvesting of root crops involves disturbance of soil akin to cultivation and HortNZ seeks that it is included as part of the cultivation activity. Given that the soil has been disturbed to plant a crop there should be the ability to remove the crop when it is mature. Inclusion of harvesting in the definition of cultivation would ensure that such crops could be harvested.

5 Definition HortNZ made a The definition of natural wetland includes a list Amend the definition of natural Natural submission (390.44) of exclusions. wetland to add to the exclusions: wetland seeking that the sediment traps or artificial wetlands HortNZ sought that sediment control measures definition of natural and artificial wetlands be included in the list of

Appeal Provision or Scope Reason Relief sought Point Decision

However, the decisions include the addition of a new definition for sediment trap. While sediment traps may possibly be ‘detention dams’ it is appropriate that sediment traps are listed as a specific item in the definition of natural wetlands given that they are specifically defined in the Plan. HortNZ was also concerned that artificial wetlands are not included in the list of exclusions. Where a wetland has been created for specific purposes, such as filtration, then such wetlands should not be regarded as a natural wetland. It is not clear what exclusion artificial wetlands would be classed as, given that the decisions consider that they are adequately provided for. Therefore, for clarity HortNZ seeks that artificial wetlands are added to the list of exclusions for natural wetlands.

6 Definition HortNZ made a The Plan includes a definition for both wetland Either wetland submission (390.49) and natural wetlands and applies the Include the list of exclusions in the seeking that the definitions to a range of rules in the Plan. definition of natural wetland in the definition of wetland The definition of wetland is the RMA definition. definition of wetland be amended.

of areas which are not regarded as natural Amend references to ‘wetlands’ in wetlands, but such exclusions are not included the rules to ‘natural wetlands’ so that in the definition of wetland. the list of exclusions apply for all wetlands. HortNZ sought that the definition of natural wetland provide greater clarity in the Plan as it identifies areas which may be wet areas that are not regarded as a natural wetland. The decision does not accept the submission as it would ‘unnecessarily complicate that Plan’. However, HortNZ considers that having a definition of natural wetland and wetland complicates that plan and that there should be greater alignment between the definitions to reduce potential confusion. The threshold for being a wetland is ‘supporting a natural ecosystem of plants and animals’. The exceptions in the definition of natural wetlands are not intended to support such natural ecosystems so it is appropriate that the exceptions apply to the definition of wetlands. Alternatively, reference to wetlands are amended to natural wetlands to reduce potential confusion in application of the Plan.
