    Responsibilities and funding – consenting pathways and options
    (Conference Contribution, LakesWater Quality Society, 2015) McKenzie, Angus
    This presentation will outline the regulatory framework for biosecurity programmes within the Rotorua Lakes and explore a range of potential options for tackling the framework, drawing on my experiences with collaborative comprehensive consenting and national policy tools. Examples to be discussed will include: · National aquatic weed consent. A multi-agency reassessment that has expanded the aquatic weed toolkit under HSNO and provided efficiencies through reducing administration costs. · Comprehensive consenting in the Waikato region. Programme level consents for the Waikato Regional Council, their effectiveness, outcomes and relevance to the Rotorua Lakes context. These examples showcase a range of alternative responses to regulatory requirements that have resulted in positive outcomes for the agencies involved and could provide a framework for the Rotorua Lakes programmes.

    The role of a weed management Agency – a smart approach to delivering innovative biosecurity services
    (Conference Contribution, LakesWater Quality Society, 2015) Mole, David
    Over the past year, Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has taken a new approach to biosecurity as a result of significant external factors and a new, organisation-wide 10 year vision. We have reviewed our biosecurity aims and goals, and re-examined the tools and processes that determine our ability to fulfil these overarching outcomes and objectives. Our new thinking about biosecurity has been informed by what we call SMART procurement, and this approach has encouraged innovation, ensured a better focus on outcomes, and laid the foundations for a truly strategic partnership with our suppliers. This presentation will outline our SMART philosophy, and offer some thoughts on its benefits over traditional models of biosecurity management, focusing in particular on our aquatic weed control work.
