Public submissions received on proposed rules to manage nitrogen entering Lake Rotorua from pastoral land use have been collated and evaluated by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council.
The council received 92 submissions from individuals and groups such as farmers, Maori land trusts and industry, and 20 further submissions based on matters raised by initial submissions.
Council staff have now considered and responded to each point raised by these submissions.
Bay of Plenty Regional Council acting chief executive Fiona McTavish said the report highlighted areas of the proposed rule that people agreed with and what topics or components of the plan change they did not agree with.
"The report is a requirement of the Resource Management Act 1991 which responds to each submission and includes recommended changes to the proposed rules," Ms McTavish said.
