The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is leading New Zealand's response to H5 bird flu (H5N1). You can help protect our native birdlife and local poultry by knowing what to do. If you see three or more sick or dead wild birds together, please don't touch or move them. Report them to MPI and follow the latest advice.

If there's a property in your neighbourhood that you believe is a health or safety hazard because of an unkempt section, you can let FENZ know about your concern by completing their Fire Hazard Assessment Request on the Fire and Emergency New Zealand website or calling 0800 658 628.
FENZ is only able to take action to deal with genuine fire hazards, and not where the property is just unsightly or presents a health hazard.
If you believe the property is a health hazard, please call our Compliance team on (06) 366 0999.
