8. Update on Approach to River Bank Management
Committee Comment
1. Tim Joyce, Operations Team Leader for the Christchurch City Council, provided a power point presentation to the Committee on a river bank cutting trial being undertaken by the Council. The trial is to: Filter run-off Reduce bank erosion Improve riparian habitat Increase inanga spawning Reduce vegetation falling into rivers Discourage waterfowl
The presentation outlined areas covered in the trial, and included trial results. Mr Joyce thanked the Zone Committee for its support in relation to the trial, and responded to queries.
2. Mr Joyce updated the Committee about litter booms, 40 tonne of mainly organic waste and tyres had been collected. The litter booms are beneficial to assist water quality.
3. Discussion was held about various watercourses and about the removal of raupo along Kerrs Reach. The cost to remove the raupo under the Council’s consent conditions, which require the use of cofferdams to prevent sediment discharge, is outside any budget in the Council’s current Long Term Plan.
Committee Resolved CWZC/2018/00024
That the Christchurch West Melton Water Management Zone Committee: 1. Receive the update on the approach to river bank management.

- Cashmere Catchment The report was taken as read.
Groundwater and Drylands
The Working Group met with the Waimakariri Zone Committee, on 20 August 2018, about proposed 2 Item nitrate targets and reductions for the groundwater that flows under the Waimakariri River into the Christchurch zone. Helen Caley updated the Committee on the meeting with the following information:
There were four members of the Working Group at the joint meeting A presentation was given by farmer groups Discussion was held on whether the suggested nitrogen reductions could be met Feedback provided by the Working Group was; we agree with the suggested 25% nitrogen reductions above Good Management Practice, an agreed approach that would mean water quality in Christchurch, drinking water and spring fed streams, would be at 95% protection of species, and up to 99% over time. Based on our knowledge we think those nitrogen reductions are achievable. We also suggested that other emerging contaminants that might move under the Waimakariri River be investigated. We suggested that a drop-in workshop be held in Christchurch so residents can learn about the issues.

9. Canterbury Water Management Strategy Fit for the Future Project
Reference: 18/989768 Presenter(s): Dann Olykan, Canterbury Water Management Strategy
Item 9 Item
1. Purpose of Report 1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Christchurch West Melton Water Management Zone Committee to be updated about the Fit for the Future project.. 2. Staff Recommendations That the Christchurch West Melton Water Management Zone Committee: 1. Receive the information in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy Fit for the Future Project report.
3. Report 1. The Fit for the Future project is looking to develop goals for 2025 and 2030 for the ten target areas in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS).
2. Zone Committees are an important part of delivering the CWMS. They are heavily involved in both sub-regional plan-making and in championing the actions that will lead to the Strategy and the plans being achieved.
3. The Regional Water Management Committee wants Zone Committees to provide input into the draft goals for 2025 and 2030 that have been developed by Task Groups and the Goals Working Group. There is an opportunity for your Zone Committee to reflect particular zonal implementation needs, thoughts about the draft goals and your Zone Implementation Programme (ZIP), and priorities.
4. In particular, given the Zone Committee’s role, we are interested in any thoughts or advice on:
Are the draft goals on-the-mark, over-ambitious, or too easy? What changes should be made to them? Are there any gaps?
To what extent are the goals relevant to your Zone – do they provide an opportunity for local changes to be made that will make a real difference? Should there be greater recognition of sub-regional differences, and how might that happen? What would need to happen in your Zone to achieve the goals? What are the barriers and what could be done to enable more progress on the CWMS goals and targets?
What are the actions and work programmes that will be needed to help achieve the goals. Will your ZIP need to be refreshed?
5. The attached paper and its Appendix set out the process for developing the 2025 and 2030 goals, some issues that you might want to consider, and the draft goals developed so far in the process. The draft goals are very much ‘work in progress’. Not all of the draft goals are fully developed and will need refinement by stakeholders as the engagement process advances. Many of the draft goals need sharpening. You can help shape the advice that the Regional Water Management Committee will provide to the Canterbury Mayoral Forum on the goals, and what needs to happen to achieve them.
Item No.: 9 Page 49 Christchurch West Melton Water Management Zone Committee 27 September 2018
6. If you have any views, you can express them at your Zone Committee meeting or alternatively in
writing to [email protected] by 4 October (although earlier comments would be appreciated).
