We have engaged with our communities, including local iwi, to ensure everyone’s values and beliefs are represented in the strategy in a way that enhances the natural ecology of the area.

The Waianakarua River morphology and riparian management strategy has been prepared by the Otago Regional Council (ORC), with input from the local community, to help protect the recreational, cultural and ecological values of the Waianakarua riverbed, and to enable long-term sustainable use of the land that borders the river. The strategy, as summarised in the two diagrams overleaf, is intended to help achieve this by guiding work programs, decision-making, and activities for the community, stakeholders, iwi and ORC. It is therefore recommended that people who live, work, or play within the Waianakarua River catchment consider, and give effect to, the principles, objectives, and actions listed in this strategy.
