Establishment and development
When establishing or developing your vineyard or winery, there are numerous property law and planning issues to consider. These include good title and properly obtained and maintained consents or permits under the Building Act or the Resource Management Act as may be required. Planning issues in particular, are subject to change and it is important to monitor these changes to ensure that established operations continue to comply.
Employment issues should be considered when hiring permanent and casual staff, and health and safety legislation requirements must be observed.
Finally, the use of pesticides and other hazardous goods, and the importation
of plant material must be undertaken in accordance with the Hazardous
Substances and New Organisms Act.
