Gisborne District Council Approves Enforcement Order for Forest Remediation
What happened
The Gisborne District Council found local forests to be in an extremely poor state, noting corporate ownership in the region. An enforcement order was approved for the remediation and native planting of a forestry site in Awatere Forest near Te Araroa. The order requires the cessation of woody debris or sediment discharge into water and beyond the forest boundary.

Why it matters
The enforcement order mandates that all debris from harvest activity be removed from streams and skid sites by March 31, 2027. This regulatory action requires significant operational changes and remediation costs for the parties involved in the forestry site.
