Site-Led

Site-led programmes have rules for specific pests that only apply in that area.

Site-led areas have special biodiversity and other values to protect. You can find out more about site-led programmes in section 6.5 of the pest plan.

Our pest plan has four site-led programmes, one based around Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago to manage lagarosiphon and three Dunedin based programmes that align with Predator Free Dunedin’s goals and protect the biodiversity and cultural values of these areas.
