When it comes to construction projects, erosion control isn’t just best practice — it’s a compliance requirement in the Bay of Plenty. Uncontrolled sediment runoff can cause environmental damage, result in costly fines, and delay your project. By having erosion control measures in place before work begins, you protect your site, your budget, and your reputation.
The risks of delaying erosion control
1. Non-compliance penalties
Failing to meet Bay of Plenty Regional Council erosion and sediment control standards can result in work stoppages and significant fines.
2. Project delays and budget blowouts
Uncontrolled erosion can lead to extra site work, material loss, and costly remediation before you can proceed.
3. Environmental damage
Sediment runoff into drains, streams, and coastal areas harms aquatic habitats and degrades water quality.
Key erosion control solutions
Silt fencing — Prevents sediment from leaving the site and entering waterways.
Hydroseeding — Quickly establishes vegetation on bare soil, stabilising slopes, batters, and large exposed areas.
Geotextiles and biodegradable groundcovers — Provide physical protection while vegetation takes hold.
Dust control — Suppresses airborne particles that can impact neighbouring properties.
For projects where erosion control also includes creating green spaces, consider our Residential & Commercial Lawns service for turf establishment that’s fast, durable, and compliant.
The benefits of early planning
By integrating erosion control into your project plan from the outset, you can:
Keep your schedule on track
Avoid unplanned costs
Ensure long-term site stability and compliance
