The Stock Exclusion Medium Slope Land 2022 layer identifies areas with a slope of between 5 and 10 degrees below 500m in altitude where excluding stock from waterways is likely to be practical and advisable. This layer has been created using the same method used to create the Stock Exclusion Low Slope Land 2022 layer which represents "Low Slope Land" as defined in the Resource Management (Stock Exclusion) Regulations 2020. This layer is intended to be used in conjunction with the Stock Exclusion Low Slope Land 2022 layer to support planning for stock exclusion.

The Stock Exclusion Low Slope Land 2022 layer identifies areas of "Low Slope Land" as defined in the Resource Management (Stock Exclusion) Regulations 2020. The layer shows land with a local slope of less than or equal to 5 degrees where beef cattle and deer are required to be excluded from waterways. Areas of lakes, ponds, settlements, urban parkland, transport infrastructure and estuarine open water, as defined in Land Cover Database 5, are excluded. Areas over 500m in altitude are also excluded. This layer replaces the Stock Exclusion Low Slope Land 2020 layer.
