Green Light or Light Green? The Govt’s environmental reforms

Green Light or Light Green? The Government’s environmental reforms

1-2 August 2018, Grand Millennium Auckland

SESSION 10: FRESHWATER REFORM

Freshwater was a prominent election issue and is high on this government’s agenda. On Sunday, Minister Parker announced big changes to freshwater policy including a reformed national policy statement on freshwater management. This conference session will probe the merits, practicality and implications of the new direction the Minister has signalled. It will draw on insights from the recent work undertaken by the Rt Hon Simon Upton, Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, on nutrient management. It will consider learnings from the Waikato experience, which will be outlined by Vaughan Payne, Chief Executive of the Waikato Regional Council. We will also hear what limits will mean on the ground for farmers from Alison Dewes, Head of Environment, Landcorp Farming, followed by a robust panel discussion.

Chair: Gary Taylor, Chief Executive, Environmental Defence Society
