Subject: RE: Permitted Activity Notification PLUC70024452 
Kia ora Rowena, 
Thanks for sending through the additional information! 
I have reviewed the application and confirm that the works in Te Henga Wetland can 
proceed as a Permitted Activity under the NES-F 2020 as they are in general accordance 
with Regulations 38 and 55 of the NES-F. 
I note the following: 
•  The proposed works are necessary due to the invasive nature of willow species, 
their potential to damage/alter natural wetland environments, and the fact they 
are a known “pest” species. 
•  The works include one round of herbicide application via target drone in the first 
year (approx. duration of 10 days), followed by two additional rounds in the 
following years depending on results and regrowth 
•  The works will take place in a dry weather window with adequate time to allow 
for soakage of applied herbicide through the targeted leaves/foliage. 
•  The proposed herbicide is glyphosate which can be used in manner which avoids 
more than minor effects on aquatic life & native vegetation (targeted drone 
application to foliage, low drift nozzles, dry weather window, certified 
preparation/handling of chemical, and addition of surfactant to increase 
adhesiveness of glyphosate to foliage). 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
