Share your knowledge on the Ōtākaro Avon River corridor
The Ōtākaro Avon River corridor is a special place for so many people.
For some, it was home. For others, it still is.
If you've lived there, or been a regular visitor, chances are you know things about the land that we don't.
Did you have a natural spring at the end of your garden? Were you forever digging up old pottery and bottles? Was your area a favourite nesting place for the local birdlife?
We want the local knowledge, wisdom, and experiences of the people and communities that love this land to help shape the regeneration plan.
Share your local knowledge and observations - you can either upload your research, videos, photos and drawings in the 'local knowledge' section, or drop a pin and comment on the map.
Feedback closes 18 March 2017.
Your local knowledge will be added to an online, publically accessible database of information on the land that will help inform regeneration planning for the Ōtākaro / Avon River Corridor.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
