Stock Exclusion Web App Description

This Stock Exclusion application is indicative only. The application serves to inform landowners about what stock exclusion requirements are located within their property boundary that may require action. The application is designed to be used in conjunction with our supporting guidance materials that can be found on the farmers hub webpages, Keeping stock out of waterways | Environment Canterbury (ecan.govt.nz) For further support, please contact our Customer Advisory team or your local Land Management Biodiversity Advisor, who can connect you with additional resources or for further guidance on what stock exclusion requirements apply to your property.

How you use Instructions

To locate your property on the app, input your address into the property search bar or locate on the app. Click on your property, upon doing so, a pop-up will appear displaying a list of all stock exclusion considerations that apply to your property. If the field is populated this means we may require you to take further action, please consult the appropriate zone-specific Stock Exclusion Step- by-step guide for further guidance on what this might be.
