The Manawatu-Whanganui Regional Council has confirmed that dairy farming will be a controlled activity in the region.
The regional council's chief executive, Michael McCartney, says because runoff from dairy farms is polluting the region's waterways, the activity will now be regulated.
Mr McCartney says dairy farmers will be required to meet effluent and fertiliser management conditions, and must keep stock out of waterways.
The final version of the regional council's One Plan, released on Tuesday, has been written by an independent panel of commissioners and covers the management of the region's natural resources over the next 10 years.
What do you think about that?

I'm sure it will all go just fine.
Some people don't like compulsion Shane. They rebel and devise philosophies to justify their disobedience!
It's true!
