Details

Waikato Regional Council invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to undertake maintenance control of possums in the Waikite Valley – Te Kopia, Mokauiti 1 and 2, Mokauiti 1 Aerial Sector and Mahoenui Priority Possum Control Areas (PPCAs).

The Waikite Valley – Te Kopia PPCA comprises farmland surrounding the Paeroa Ranges located between Rotorua and Taupo, west of Reporoa on SH 5. It was created to support the possum control within the Department of Conservation’s estate.

The Mokauiti 1 and 2 PPCAs, Mokauiti 1 Aerial Sector and Mahoenui PPCA are located in the Central King Country, approximately 20 kilometres south west of Te Kuiti. These PPCAs are part of the larger Central King Country possum control project which encompasses approximately 58,700 hectares, extending from Eight Mile Junction on SH3 in the north, to the regional boundary with Horizons Regional Council in the south.

The aim of these PPCAs is to reduce possum densities on privately owned land to ensure ongoing forest health, soil conservation in the catchment and enhancement of the biodiversity.
