Our waterways and all the fish and species that live in them are precious taonga, so we have set out to understand how they are valued and what should be done to provide the future we want for our water. I am also a conduit to Taranaki Whānui mana whenua on the Whaitua Committee.
Raised on our whānau farm in Wanui-o-mata, I have always been involved with supporting iwi in their freshwater projects and treaty settlement processes. As kaitiaki of the taiao, our taonga, it is incumbent upon each of us to preserve the integrity of our environment and way of life. This is a journey to save the health and mauri of our waterways, we need to fix urban water infrastructure and more ways to connect with our Wai.
We need to find solutions that are equitable and fair. Doing nothing is an option with our population growing fast and putting more pressure on our waste and storm water infrastructure.
Connect with us to talk about what we can do together. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page, and to share what you value about our water and your solutions have your say by following the link below.
If you have been on a journey with Readers Tours we would love to hear your feedback and share your experience with others.

It's just ticked over 3 years now since I started Steve's Jobs and I'm proud to have completed a number of landscaping projects for satisfied client's along with whipping into shape many different gardens along the way. With more hands on deck now, I have more capacity to help enhance your outdoors! From hard construction landscaping, to plant outs and mulching, section clearing to regular maintenance, painting and staining to one off garden tidy ups and tree work...if it's a job that needs doing, I'd love to discuss it with you.
You can get in touch with me at: www.stevesjobs.co.nz...
Have a great week ahead!
Cheers,
Steve

Not only is this a nuisance, it stinks! The rubbish is clearly NOT from our volunteer run ECE as it is full of cigarette butts. They have also filled our Recycling Bin with general waste, which we have had to then empty.
As we pay for the bins to be emptied, we would like this to STOP.
Has anyone else had this happen to them, and what did you do to prevent it happening again? We would like to avoid locking up our bins as that would be a nuisance, and at present, building a lockable bin bay is beyond our time and financial means.
This is not ok.
