Our Mission
Waiōtahe Watercare is committed to protecting and restoring the Waiōtahe River. Our mission is to ensure the river remains a thriving, life-sustaining taonga for our community, now and into the future. We believe in the importance of caring for the river not only as a natural resource but as a vital part of our cultural identity and collective well-being.
Our goals focus on long-term environmental care and community collaboration. We aim to protect and enhance the river and its surrounding environment, recognising its value to the local community, the wider public, and future generations. Conservation is at the heart of our work supporting efforts that nurture both the natural ecosystem and the social, cultural, and economic wellbeing of our people.
We also promote sustainable land use practices that strengthen the health of the river catchment and improve water quality over time. Our approach is community-led and partnership-driven. By working alongside landowners, local whānau, and other organisations, we seek to develop and implement practical, sustainable management strategies that ensure the Waiōtahe River continues to flow strong, clean, and full of life.
