Farm Plans (NZFAP+)
Base NZFAP and NZFAP+ (Silver & Gold) farm plans — the full built report, maps and a tailored environmental plan, done with you.
NZFAP+ Farm Plans Built for New Zealand Farmers
We’re farmers first and foremost — so we know a farm plan is only worth anything if it works on the ground. NZFAP+ sits on top of base NZFAP and adds the People, Environment and Biosecurity side, all delivered through an audited Farm Environment Plan at Silver or Gold. We handle the lot.
You get both required maps drawn at farm scale, a per-land-unit risk assessment, and a SMART action plan — built into one report that’s ready for your QCONZ audit and genuinely useful the other 1,094 days of the three-year cycle.
- Base NZFAP and NZFAP+ at Silver & Gold
- Complete built report with maps and environmental plan
- Fast turnaround and a plan that works on the ground
Common Challenges
Farmers face real pressure meeting council and assurance requirements while keeping the farm running. We help you navigate freshwater, NZFAP+ and land-management challenges with practical mapping and planning.
An Overlay on Top of NZFAP
NZFAP+ sits on top of base NZFAP and adds People, Environment and Biosecurity — all delivered through an audited Farm Environment Plan. Knowing what Silver and Gold actually ask for is half the battle.
Time Pressure
Meeting a certification or audit date while you're still running the farm is the hard part. We do the technical work so you can keep farming.
Two Maps That Have to Be Right
NZFAP+ wants a Farm & Infrastructure map and a Natural Resources map, drawn to a standard that stands up at audit. That's specialist mapping most farmers don't have the gear for.
What You Get
Our Capabilities
Everything you need for farm-scale mapping, certified farm plans, and regulatory compliance across New Zealand.
Assessment
FARM AUDIT & PLANNING
We get on farm to understand your land, your stock and your current practices, and work out exactly what base NZFAP and the NZFAP+ tier you're after will require.
- On-farm site visit
- Soil, land and natural-resource assessment
- Environmental and biosecurity risks identified
Mapping
THE TWO REQUIRED MAPS
We produce the Farm & Infrastructure map and the Natural Resources map at farm scale — soil, slope, waterways, critical source areas and the on-farm infrastructure an auditor expects to see.
- Farm & Infrastructure map with audit-key legend
- Natural Resources map (soil, slope, water, LUC)
- Critical source areas and stock-exclusion mapping
Reporting
NZFAP+ BUILT REPORT
The whole report built and ready: the maps, a per-land-unit risk assessment and a SMART action plan, written as a Farm Environment Plan you'd actually pick up and use.
- Full NZFAP+ documentation
- Tailored Farm Environment Plan
- SMART action plan with timeframes
Our Proven Approach
A structured, field-verified process that delivers accurate farm-scale maps and audit-ready plans with minimal disruption to your farming operation.
Initial Consultation
We talk through your farm, your current practices, and whether you're after base NZFAP, NZFAP+ Silver or Gold.
On-Farm Visit
We come out, assess the farm, gather the data and take whatever measurements the maps and plan need.
Mapping & Report
We produce both required maps and build the full NZFAP+ report and Farm Environment Plan around them.
Certification & Audit
We back you through certification with your auditor (QCONZ runs the NZFAP+ audit) and the 3-yearly cycle that follows.
Packages ThatInclude This Service
Farm Plan Package
Field-verified LUC and soil mapping, an NZFAP+ farm plan built on that foundation, and the whiteboard map and tear-off pads that put it to work every day.
Compliance & Safety
The audit-ready bundle — a full NZFAP+ farm plan for the auditor, a health and safety hazard board on the wall for the team, contractors and visitors, and a write-on paddock map for the day-to-day.
