About this consultation
This is a joint consultation run by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and the Ministry for the Environment.
As part of the Resource Management (Stock Exclusion) Regulations 2020, we introduced a map that identifies low slope land across New Zealand. Feedback identified that the mapping methodology needs improving. We are asking for your feedback on proposed changes to the current map.
