Silver Fern Irene van Dyk and her husband have been fined by Greater Wellington Regional Council for clearing gorse on 2.5 hectares of erosian-prone land at their Upper Hutt property.

They were fined $750 for breaching abatement notices and must do remedial work after soil and tree stumps were dumped in two streams, the Dominion Post reports.

A council spokesman says investigations are continuing and further action may be taken.
