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.

the Regional Council Officer’s Report (2 March 2021), it is clear that the company’s operation
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.

encouraging composting of organic material and reusing or recycling materials where possible. All of these
actions help to minimise the environmental
