5649 (2024). Lan Pham to the Associate Minister for the Environment: What evidence, if any, does the Minister have the Freshwater Farm Plans aren't 'cost-effective'?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: The Government has signalled via the coalition agreement the intention to improve freshwater farm plans so they are more cost-effective and pragmatic for farmers. Many stakeholders provided feedback that the current system was too complex and costly. As the Government works through developing improvements to the current system, further analysis around costs of the system is expected to be undertaken.
