Support: Deletion of control requiring notification to 3km
- Methods of release: “bait station
design must be appropriate to target pest, while excluding non- target species…examples that meet these requirements are DOC 200 bait stations…and stoat tunnels”

Support: Deletion of control requiring notification to 3km
- Public health permission and DOC
permission required before PAPP can be used
- Planned notifications are assessed
- Additional pre-operational
notifications can be imposed as conditions

Oppose: Proposed control for stoat-specific bait station
- New control is not needed as
existing control requires cats to be excluded
- DOC evaluates the proposed bait
station design in the permission process

Oppose: Proposed control for stoat-specific bait station
- DOC opposes the prescription of a
specific design
– Some sites have few non-targets and no domestic cats – Future design changes would require reassessment – No non-target or efficacy data for new design

Propose: Amend ‘Method of release’ control
Method of release: Bait stations only. The bait station design must be appropriate to the target pest, while excluding non-target species and minimising access by unauthorised
- persons. When targeting stoats,
examples that meet these requirements are DOC 200 trap boxes or tracking
- tunnels. When targeting feral cats, the
wooden submarine bait station is an example that meets these requirements.
