Applications are invited for the following ballots owned by Northland Fish & Game Council:
Please note that Underwood Wetland is a newly developed wetland near the confluence of the Manganui and Northern Wairoa rivers. Stand locations will be balloted for opening weekend only, for a one-year term i.e. all stand locations will be re-balloted each year. Hunting is to be done from temporary hides - there is to be no building of maimai in the wetland.
If you wish to apply, please fill in the application form by selecting here or select the button at the bottom of the page. You will be sent an email to confirm that it has been received.
Note: all applications must include the names of two game bird hunters and their details.
To be eligible for the Underwood Wetland stand the primary applicant (Hunter 1) must be an adult and have a firearms licence. To be eligible for the permanent stand at Flaxmill Wetland both applicants (Hunter 1 and Hunter 2) must be adults and each have a firearms licence.
If there is more than one property up for ballot and a stand is drawn for an applicant then their applications will be removed for the remaining wetlands, if they had applied for multiple wetlands. If successful in obtaining a ballot, the stand holder is required to abide by the rules and conditions stated in the permit for the wetlands.
