The Waipaoa Catchment Plan was developed alongside the Regional Freshwater Plan and publicly notified in 2015. The catchment plan needs to be reviewed to ensure it meets the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 requirements.
A freshwater advisory group was set up to guide the development of the current catchment plan, with a series of three community consultation rounds undertaken to inform the catchment plan. This review will take a similar approach.
