Environment Canterbury urges buyers to check wastewater systems on rural properties
Buying or building a rural or semi-rural property? Make sure you know where the wastewater goes, says Environment Canterbury.
The Canterbury regional council said up to 25,000 more dairy cows could be added to the region's herd this year, following an end to a temporary ban on intensive dairy farm conversions.
Environment Canterbury shows 32 new consents were approved last year, and 15 more in progress.
It said the maximum number of cows that could be milked through the shed was 25,818 cows, among the approved consents.
