Answer

In December 2023 I received 'BRF-4056: Initial briefing on freshwater farm plans', which outlined the freshwater farm plan system as an important tool for regional councils to address local freshwater challenges. In September 2025 I received 'BRF-6742: Aide memoire: Meeting with AgResearch on 8 September 2025' which attached the report I refer to in my response to written Parliamentary question 20071(2026) and provided talking points to support a meeting with the report’s author.
