Under the Resource Management Act (1991) Tasman District Council is responsible for managing the soil and land resources in the District.
The following tools are used to meet Council's requirements under the Resource Management Act:
- Policies to manage specific issues in our District
- Resource Consents for soil disturbance and land use
- Education to promote the wise use of the soil resource
- Monitoring programmes for soil health and soil loss
We have rules relating to discharges to land and air from pesticides and fertilisers, and limiting adverse cross-boundary effects arising from their use.
