Canterbury Water Kaikōura Zone Committee Meeting

The Kaikōura Zone Committee will meet on Tuesday October 11 at the Memorial Hall in Kaikōura.

The Kaikōura Zone Committee was officially launched in July 2011. Since then the committee has met twice and received a number of presentations on water issues relevant to the zone. These have included the state of the water in the region, cultural values, Canterbury Water targets, and priority areas for Immediate Steps biodiversity funding.

At October’s meeting the committee will discuss the targets outlined in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) and come up to speed on Te Korowai – Kaikōura’s Marine Strategy.

The committee will also elect a chair and deputy chair and develop a regular schedule of meetings for the coming months. The Kaikōura Zone Committee will meet monthly to gather information about the region and its water resource with the goal of developing a Zone Implementation Programme (ZIP) for the management of the region's water resource.

A number of field trips are also planned so members can visit areas of significance and meet with community members.

The Kaikōura Zone Committee members are; Ted Howard, Matt Hoggard, Ron Mackle, Tony Blunt, Derrick Millton and Sarah Beardmore, Kaikōura Mayor Winston Gray, Environment Canterbury Commissioner David Bedford and Rūnanga representative Gina Solomon.

The Kaikōura Zone Committee operates as a joint committee of the Kaikōura District Council and Environment Canterbury. Committee meetings are open to the public.
