The Regional Pest Management Plan (RPMP) sets our priorities and goals for managing animal and pest plants in the region.
It also includes rules that must be complied with from the Biosecurity Act. Section 78 of the Biosecurity Act allows Bay of Plenty Regional Council, under certain conditions, to issue exemptions.
