Tiromoana Bush Restoration Project Management Plan

As part of the mitigation for the establishment of the Canterbury Regional Landfill at Kate Valley, Transwaste Canterbury Ltd has committed to undertaking a comprehensive restoration programme of conservation, protection and restoration that will, within the 35-years of the landfill resource consent, result in a substantial increase in the overall biodiversity value of the Kate Valley Conservation Management Area (CMA).

Transwaste has set up a Tiromoana Bush Website.

In particular, the Tiromoana Bush Restoration Plan will result in the protection and enhancement of a substantial area of lowland forest, a nationally rare and under represented vegetation type. This plan describes the vision and outcomes proposed for the Tiromoana Bush restoration, and the methods that will be used to achieve them.
