Gisborne District Council advises rural communities to keep large grazing livestock off stopbanks for flood protection.
Gisborne District Council urges rural communities to keep large grazing livestock off stopbanks to preserve their effectiveness as flood protection assets. Livestock like cattle, pigs, and horses can cause damage that undermines stopbank integrity, while sheep are considered acceptable. The council appreciates most farmers have fences in place, but reminders are necessary due to observed large stock grazing on stopbanks.
