Pig farm hit with $430k fine for 'appalling' effluent pollution
A Waikato pig farm has been hit with the largest fine in the 34-year history of the Resource Management Act after repeatedly discharging raw effluent into nearby streams.
The penalty followed months of persistent non-compliance, with visits to the farm finding untreated effluent spilling onto surrounding land and into the headwaters of the Patuwhao and Hotahika streams.
The contamination caused significant harm to local waterways, with a council ecologist reporting that it likely affected many at-risk diverse fish.
Variable speed signs outside schools switch on
Electronic speed signs are rolling out at six schools along state highways in Northland and north Auckland as a part of a nationwide push to make roads safer for school children.
The signs, installed under NZTA's school speed limit programme, will display a variable speed limit during peak school traffic times to slow traffic as it passes the school.
It comes after new rules that came into force last October enforced all schools with gates directly onto state highways to have variable speed limits of 60km/h or lower by July 2026.

With rents soft and more options to choose from, it's not a bad time to be looking for a place to live.
