Who looks after Dangerous Goods?
Legalisation changes have meant that the Waitaki District Council as the Local Authority no longer has jurisdiction with Dangerous Goods Licences.
All Licences and enquiries are now dealt with by ERMA NEW ZEALAND.
Petrol and Diesel storage on farms
The way you store fuel on your farm is controlled by the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act 1996. There are certain things you must do to be compliant. These may include obtaining a Test Certificate for the location, an Approved Handler and the storage facility (stationary container system).
