Kaiate Catchment Project
Bay of Plenty Regional Council is working to make Kaiate Falls swimmable again by improvin…
A Freshwater Futures community group has been established for the Rangitāiki catchments, to inform the development of changes to the Regional Natural Resources Plan.
Through a series of workshops held over two years, the group is helping to identify community values and aspirations for freshwater, and providing advice on freshwater management options.
The group's area of interest includes Thornton, Edgecumbe, Te Teko, Te Mahoe/Waiohau, Galatea, Murupara, Whirinaki (Minginui, Te Whāiti, Ngāputahi), Rerewhakaaitu, Rangitāiki at SH5. Their work will result in a draft plan change that sets objectives, limits and methods (including rules) for improving the way water quality and quantity is managed locally.
So far, the group has discussed:
Community group members were appointed following a call for expressions of interest in 2015. As a collective they provide a broad range of feedback and information based on their experience and perceptions as local residents, iwi, businesspeople, councillors and industry, agency, recreation or environmental interest group representatives. As at January 2019 members included:
