Farm Environment Plan (FEP) Audit Workshops – Waimate and Fairlie
Do you have questions about your Farm Environment Plan (FEP) Audit? These workshops will provide answers and help you prepare.
In July, environmental consultancy Irricon's FEP Auditors are coming to Waimate and Fairlie.
If having an FEP is a condition of your consent, then these free, practical sessions are for you.
Workshop details
What is an FEP and an FEP Audit?
An FEP is an adaptable tool to help you identify, manage and mitigate environmental risk associated with water, soil and nutrients on your farm.
Audits are an independent assessment of how well these environmental risks are being managed. Auditors also check that what is being recorded in your plan is being put into practice on farm to achieve targeted outcomes.

Scheduling your Audit
If your resource consent requires you to have an FEP, we will contact you to advise:
- your new Audit due date
- any changes to the FEP Auditing process
- how to prepare for your FEP Audit.
Once you receive your new Audit date, please contact a certified auditor straight away to book the Audit from our list of approved Environment Canterbury auditors.
After your first Audit, subsequent dates will depend on your Audit grade, with higher grades meaning less frequent Audits.
