Environmental Impact Report Notified

A PROPOSAL TO INTRODUCE MYXOMATOSIS AS ANOTHER MEANS
OF RABBIT CONTROL IN NEW ZEALAND

Agricultural Pests Destruction Council

THE Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment has received
an Environmental Impact Report prepared by John Bamford
Associates on a proposal by the Agricultural Pests Destruction Council
to introduce myxomatosis into New Zealand as another
means of rabbit control. This is accompanied by a technical
addendum prepared by the Technical Advisory Committee (Animal
Pests) for the Agricultural Pests Destruction Council. The addendum
includes a revised proposal for the introduction of the European
rabbit f1ca/myxoma virus complex. The proposal is to concentrate
effort as a once only approach in the rabbit problem areas of high
country of the South Island.

The report and addendum are being audited by the Parliamentary
Commissioner for the Environment under the Environment Act
1986. The Audit and recommendations will be referred to the
Minister of Agriculture who will not make decisions on the proposal
until after he has considered the Commissioner’s advice. The Audit
will be published on or about 21 August 1987.

I invite you to make written submissions to the Office of the
Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment on the impli-
cations of the proposal as described in the Environmental Impact
Report and the Addendum.
