Draft Stock Control and Droving Bylaw “We admit we may not have got it all right”-Tasman Mayor Tim King.
Tasman District Council released a press release on the 1 July seeking submissions from the community on a new draft Stock Control and Droving Bylaw to replace an expired bylaw.
There has been criticism of the new draft bylaw on Facebook, but the Council has in the first place asked for submissions from those who have to put this bylaw into practice.
Based on some of the feedback TDC has already received, they already know that they will need to consider changes to make the new draft bylaw more workable.
TDC said “we are looking for community input on our draft Stock Control and Droving Bylaw. The bylaw provides guidance and rules around stock crossings and droving on roads and the road reserve to protect stock, road users and the immediate environment”.
“We admit we may not have got it all right in the draft stage,” said Tasman Mayor Tim King. “This is why it is important for people to have the opportunity to talk to us about it, submit, test and make comment before a final decision is made.”
Public consultation is open until Monday 1 August. To make a submission and see more information go to: https://bit.ly/3nznf5l which will take you to the exact place on TDC website.
The Draft Stock Control and Droving Bylaw 2022 and Statement of Proposal documents are also available for viewing during normal hours at Council offices in Richmond, Motueka, Tākaka and Murchison.
Tasman District Council is holding a public webinar to be held via Zoom where you can learn more about this bylaw. The Zoom is on:
