## Resource

In this episode of EHO Knows, Shane is joined by Tanya Morrison to unpack the absurd yet true story of Rooster Gate. What begins as a single noisy rooster crowing at dawn spirals into a decade-long saga of neighbour complaints, environmental health investigations, sound monitoring, lockdown complications, and eventually a landmark court case the first of its kind in New Zealand. Equal parts comedy and cautionary tale, this episode pulls back the curtain on how seemingly minor nuisance issues can escalate into criminal prosecution, proving that in environmental health, even a rooster can end up before a judge. Thank you to our guest Tanya Morrison
