During the past 5 years, a number of work programmes have been
operating in the Kaiwharawhara Stream catchment, in Wellington.
These include support for two Take Care projects, community
water quality testing, the development of an information kit for
the catchment, landscaping and stream habitat improvements at the
lower end of the stream and at its estuary, and surveys of the
water quality and ecological values of the stream. Some signage has
been erected explaining certain parts of this work, and how it fits
together as a more holistic approach to managing an urban
catchment.
While operating independently in their own right, all of these
groups and members of the community water quality testing teams are
collectively part of what has been dubbed “Project
Kaiwharawhara”.
A programme of awareness-raising under this banner will take
place.
This programme will include further signage throughout the
catchment that explains individual projects and their wider context
within Kaiwharawhara catchment.
There may also be regular reports and stories in various
publications, such as WCC’s “Branch Out” and the
Dominion Post.
Another dimension will be to increase awareness of the work
within both WCC and GW, so that there is a closer alignment of work
programmes and environmental outcomes.
Local businesses may also be targeted so that the effects of
their activities are managed in ways that help protect or enhance
water quality and habitat within the catchment.
