Horizons Regional Council unveiled its One Plan some ten years ago as the plan to end all plans.

Fish and Game and the Environmental Defence Society (EDS) may seek costs against Horizons Regional Council as a result of the Environment Court siding with their claims about the unlawfulness of the implementation of the One Plan.

“We just want to get on with it,” say Manawatu dairy farmers reacting to news that Horizons Regional Council’s One Plan implementation has effectively been ruled unlawful by the Environment Court.

Federated Farmers says legal action announced last week against the Horizons Regional Council shows “some people just can’t accept that industry and councils can work together effectively”.
