CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT WORKING TOGETHER Rather than working in isolation on individual elements, a catchment level approach provides the best COMMUNITY opportunity to find enduring solutions. But for this to work it is essential to get people together. Everyone with a stake in the catchment should have the opportunity CATCHMENT to get involved in creating a vision for ‘their catchment’. What should the rivers and lakes look like? What activities should be safe to engage in? How much water is needed MANAGEMENT? for business and agriculture? What are the costs of delivering change? These are just a few of the questions Water quality issues do not respect property that will need answering. boundaries. If a creek running through your property has problems, then you can be sure that your While the process can be challenging the outcomes are neighbours will be impacted too. The best way to worth the investment. Communities feel connected to improve quality water in the creek is to get everyone their catchment and a sense of ownership is generated. who lives along it together, identify problems and come Ownership extends to the problems, the solutions and up with collective solutions. This simple philosophy is at delivery of outcomes.

Hokitika is split in two both geologically and ecologically by the Alpine Fault, which lies about 20 km west of the crest of the Main Divide. East of the fault, the schist mountains and valleys are rugged and broken, and a large portion is protected as public conservation land. West of the fault the geology is more complex, landscapes extensively modified and public conservation lands fragmented. This Place is the historic heart of the West Coast Te Tai o Poutini ’s pounamu trade and is the scene of gold mining, forestry and farming industries - particularly dairying.
