WORKING WITH OUR WATERWAYS

Jackie from Snells Beach & Mahurangi East

Calling all farmers, horticulturalists, viticulturists, lifestyle block owners and residents who are interested in flood resilient land and improving the water quality within the river catchments from Matakana to Warkworth.
We have a new and improved Working With Our Waterways workshop, with Danny Klimetz - Auckland Council’s fluvial geomorphologist, and stream restoration and environmental research scientist. We are keen for people within the Matakana and Glen Eden catchment to attend.
Find out more about our river catchments and discuss the impact of stream management, good and bad, on farmers, businesses, and communities downstream.

• The Matakana catchment and our storm frequency.
• Natural waterway processes.
• How rivers and streams respond to flooding and
long-term changes in flows.
• Waterway channel formation and what to consider
on your property.
• Strategies to reducing flood and channel instability.
• Clearing debris dams and what landowners should
consider.
Network with others to be better prepared for large storm events.
Martin Evans FOAM volunteer with extensive knowledge about the Matakana catchment.
Light lunch provided.
WHEN: 9am-2.30pm, Saturday 9 November 2024
WHERE: The Meeting Room, Matakana Hall, 43 Matakana Valley Road, Matakana

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
