By July 2017, you will need to have applied for a land use consent to farm if your farm is over 10 hectares, and:
- your nitrogen losses exceed 15 kilograms/hectare/year, and/or
- any part of your property is within the Cultural or Phosphorus and Sediment Area
You will need to establish whether your nitrogen losses exceed 15kg/ha/year by using OVERSEER® or the NCheck tool at www.canterburywater.farm
Landholders have all been sent a letter explaining what to do – you can see the letter here. It includes maps of the Cultural and Phosphorus and Sediment areas.
