Eight teenagers cleared out 25 kilograms of rubbish in under an hour on August 9.
Salvation Army youth worker Raymond Tuala, 22, said the group is predominantly Māori, a culture that considers rivers important.
“When I asked the teens what they wanted to do, one of the things that came up was the pollution and rubbish in their local river,” he said.
“They did a pretty good job all around with the clean up.”
The teens are from Mt Roskill, Mt Albert and Lynfield in central Auckland.
In 2019, the creek was slapped with a public health warning after testing revealed high levels of faecal matter in the water.
Gumboots and gloves were worn as a safety measure during the clean up.
Tuala said he hopes to take the group out to clean the lake once a week when lockdown laws have relaxed.
“The young people were loving it,” he said.
“We’re hoping to spread awareness about how much pollution is actually going into the river.”

Response from Whau Board?
Kia ora Duncan,
Thank you for your enquiry.
As part of the 2018 Long-term Plan, the Whau Local Board successfully advocated to secure funding from Auckland Council’s Governing Body for the development of an aquatic and recreational facility in the Whau area. They local board has continued to advocate strongly to advance the site identification and implementation of this facility.
Unfortunately, the financial impact of COVID-19 has created uncertainty around the delivery of this project and the likelihood is that it will be further delayed. The Whau Local Board is absolutely committed to this project as it has been consistently identified as a high priority to the local communities.
Thank you.
