The Otago Regional Council has approved Plan Change 3B (Pomahaka catchment minimum flow) and resolved to make the change operative from 1 June 2015.

This plan change establishes a minimum flow and water allocation regime for the Pomahaka catchment within Otago, and introduces a ribbon aquifer where groundwater is treated as surface water.

Plan Change 3B (Pomahaka catchment minimum flow) is available on Otago Regional Council’s website here and can be viewed at public libraries throughout Otago.
