There is a high demand for more engagement and consultation with community groups, and in general more engagement with the general public.
There were a number of people and groups looking for a more collaborative approach
GWRC should act as more of a facilitator rather than the practitioner, and assist in the coordination of community groups more. We should work with and support community groups.
We need to balance the wants of recreational hunters with the undertaking of pest control, and utilise these groups more.
We'll now go off and do some writing and come back to you with a draft early next year.
Many thanks,
The Biosecurity Team

Ahead of this month's election, this is a chance to tell our country's aspiring leaders how optimistic or pessimistic you and your neighbours are feeling about the future. And it's just 10 short multi-choice questions!
Take the survey today and we'll put you in the draw to win one of two $100 Prezzy® cards.
The findings will be reported next weekend in the Sunday Star-Times and on Neighbourly.co.nz.
Most of us will never get THIS upclose with those buzzy pollinators, so we thought you might enjoy this gallery.
