How to serve trespass notice?
ππΌ You can trespass someone verbally or in writing. A written a trespass notice is useful in case of any dispute over whether you trespassed someone.
ππΌ You can use a template to create a trespass notice:
To serve a trespass notice in writing, you need to write the trespassed person a notice warning them that you do not allow them to enter the property and will call the Police if they do. You can use the template on the police website: www.police.govt.nz... or one on the Community Law website: communitylaw.org.nz...
ππΌ You need three copies of the trespass notice:
You will need three copies. That is, one copy each for you, the person being trespassed, and the Police.
ππΌ Deliver a copy of the trespass notice to the trespassed person:
You or an attending Police officer can give the trespassed person the notice in person, or you can post the notice to their address. The Trespass Act 1980 does not allow you to deliver a trespass notice by email or other electronic form.
If you try to deliver the notice in person and the trespasser lets it fall to the ground (refuses to accept it) you can still consider it served. Keep their copy and write on it that they refused to accept it.
ππΌ Deliver a copy of the trespass notice to the Police:
The two ways to deliver the Police copy of the trespass notice are:
* Report a non-emergency report to the police online:
www.police.govt.nz... and attach an electronic copy of the trespass notice.
* If a Police officer is present when you give the notice to the trespassed person, you can give the Police copy to the attending Police officer.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

What is it?
