Special thanks go to: Members of the Working Party, Focus Groups, and tangata whenua for their enthusiasm, commitment and hard work, including: – Maketu Estuary Focus Group – Wetlands and Aquatic Habitat Focus Group – Urban and Industry Development Focus Group – Recreation Focus Group. The wide range of people who put time and energy into participating in public meetings and discussions, providing written feedback and attending the hearings – all of which improved the content of the Strategy. Thanks also to the current and past members of the Kaituna Maketu Joint Council Committee for their guidance and debate. Particular thanks go to Hearings Panel whose recommendations have been incorporated into the Kaituna Maketu Joint Council Committee Public Feedback Report and this Strategy. A summary of the responses to public feedback follows: ▪ Kaituna River to Ōngātoro/Maketu Estuary re-diversion – The Hearing Panel made recommendations based on public feedback and its site visit. The Hearing Panel recommended: – Environment Bay of Plenty commit to progressing the re-diversion of the Kaituna River to the Ōngātoro/Maketu Estuary. – That the preferred option is the full re-diversion of the river back to the estuary with the capability of flood relief through Te Tumu Cut. – In accordance with strong community support, that re-diversion should be advanced as soon as possible by working with mana whenua and landowners on a range of complex issues.
