Rural eSpeaking - Summer 2025

Kia ora

Today we have published the Summer 2025 edition of Rural eSpeaking; your PDF is below.

Inside:

  • New Zealand’s methane reset

  • Moo-ving on: Fonterra hands the reins to Lactalis

  • Over the fence: New limits on farmland to forestry conversions - Increase in Disputes Tribunal jurisdiction - Health and safety considerations for farm visits

If you would like to talk more on any of these topics, or of course on any other rural or general legal matter, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

You will have no doubt seen the government’s proposed on 9 December on the ’new’ RMA - into two pieces of legislation. We plan to publish a special edition of Rural eSpeaking, probably in February that will focus on these proposals - this will give us enough time to take in the government’s proposals and to offer some commentary. And we will publish the Autumn 26 edition of Rural eSpeaking around Easter.
