RECORD OF ACTIONS
(12-12-18)
Matters Arising
|
Pest Fish Plan (Item 3.3) |
|
Agreed Action Point: · Staff to include a repeat of the farm survey for pest fish and plants in the Pest Fish Plan. Action: Don McKenzie Status: The survey is intended to repeat in a 5 yearly cycle, but staff are considering the potential benefits of resending it to non-respondents in the interim. |
|
Biosecurity 2025 “Ko ta tou – This is Us” Launch (Item 3.4) |
|
Agreed Action Point: · School Biosecurity educational kits (House of Science https://houseofscience.nz/) to be obtained for Enviroschools. Action: Don McKenzie Status: The kits are only available to schools in regions where there is a House of Science branch operating, therefore the kits cannot be sourced for Northland at present. A proposal has been put to the Provincial Growth team for funding of a Northland branch of House of Science, but it was unsuccessful. Susan Karels (Enviroschools Regional Coordinator) is going meeting with the National CEO of House of Science on 29th April to discuss other options. |
