Covenants

Do you have a bush lot covenant on your property?  A number of covenants exist across the Rodney area after the council allowed subdivision of properties if bush or wetlands could be protected in perpetuity.

Owning a property with a covenant requires landowners to maintain stock proof fences, undertake weed control, set traps for pest animals, and sometimes keep records of actions.

If you are looking to buy or sell a property with a bush lot covenant you might like to get some advice on whether the conditions have been met, and what it might cost to bring a covenanted area into compliance.

Council undertakes regular inspections of covenanted areas and New Zealand Biosecurity can help with hassle-free advice ahead of a Council visit.  Reach out to us today on Danielle.Hancock@biosecurity.net.nz or call on 09 447 1998.
