Pest management - Regional pathway management plans

100B: Operational plans

You could also call this:

"Plans that help keep New Zealand safe from pests and diseases"

If you are a management agency, you must prepare an operational plan within three months after a certain date specified under section 64(3)(m), 73(3)(m), 84(3)(m), or 93(3)(l). You have to review the plan every year and make any necessary changes. You must also make the plan and any changes available to the public for a cost.

You have to give a copy of the plan and any changes to the Minister or council. Every year, you must write a report on the plan and how it is working, and give this report to the Minister or council. If you are managing a regional pest management plan or regional pathway management plan, you can include this report in the regional council's annual report.

The Minister or council can tell you that they do not agree with all or part of your operational plan if they think it does not match the main plan. They must tell you this within 20 working days of receiving your plan, and their notice means the plan or part of it is not valid. However, they can later change their mind and allow the plan or part of it.
