The Hawkes Bay Regional Council has purchased a farm near the Tutira block that is already owned by Council.
The reasons for purchasing this farm however are a mystery.
Any suggestion that this purchase will be fruitful in the form of carbon credits , is fanciful thinking.

What a cop out . The council needed to show the purchase was for erosion control or catchment reasons and it may then have been justified.
Meerkat also suspects there was no allowance for pest control in the analysis for purchase.

A shame indeed.
