Agrichemical use in the city and the forum that advises TCC

Anne from Mount Maunganui

To help maintain the environment we enjoy, in 2009 Tauranga City Council (TCC) adopted a formal policy entitled “Use of Toxic Agrichemicals for Vegetation Management”.

This policy instigated the formation of the Toxic Agrichemicals Advisory Forum (TAAF) which is a forum of interested and knowledgeable people who can assist the TCC in their determination of acceptable toxic agrichemicals and their circumstances of use on council maintained land.

TAAF invites a mix of people with training, skills, practical knowledge
and/or demonstrated interest in environmental issues, particularly use of agrichemicals to participate in forum deliberations.

Formal qualifications are advantageous but not an essential requirement. Membership is voluntary and is not remunerated.

Meetings are held monthly
