Waiho River – Future Management Strategy

Waiho River – Future Management Strategy

In August 2023, Council engaged independent experts in hydrology, engineering and river modelling to develop a ten-year Management Strategy for the Waiho River.

A Community meeting was held on 11 October for the technical advisory group to present their findings and future considerations for managing the Waiho River. Before finalising the strategy, feedback is being sought from the community.
