Waimakariri water zone

Breadcrumbs

Home / Water / What's happening in my water zone? / Waimakariri water zone

The Waimakariri water zone lies north of the Waimakariri River and extends from Pegasus Bay in the east to the Puketeraki Range in the west. Both the Waimakariri River and the Ashley River/Rakahuri have high ecological, mahinga kai and recreational values. The vision for the zone, which was developed with the community, is, “Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri, ā muri ake nei; for us and our children after us".
