At this time we wish to pay particular homage to Diane Ratahi a revered leader of Ngāti
activities or disturbing soil at a dip site. You could
make the risks worse and the ultimate clean-up costs higher if
you do not seek advice first. You may need to obtain resource
consent(s) from your local, unitary or Regional Council.
Health and safety
Don’t let children play in the soil near the old dip or the
parts of the yard or paddocks used as holding pens for
dipped sheep.
Place hazard signage and inform farm staff, tenants and
visitors of the hazards associated with a dip site.

has not met the basic requirements. Indeed, it now appears that the operation has not only
caused unacceptable environmental and cultural effects, but also health impacts on the
neighbouring community and their loss of amenity.
