Some site specific Health and Safety needs to be worked through after Xmas

We have been working on access to sites

They are looking to do the work Feb – April next year

Project Kiwi has been doing risk assessments for kiwi in other areas of the project destined to be felled.  As poisoning is our primary method and the contractor has been inducted into what to look for and what to do in regard to kiwi, we shouldn’t need further assessments.  However, if we shift to felling, high-density removal or if other factors change, we may need to change this approach to mitigate risk to kiwi.  

I have shown the Bat monitoring team through the Sandy Bay reserve area and they have advised that is very unlikely that native Bats are there but we may still have to monitor this.
