Freshwater Management in Marlborough – Public Meeting

Find out more about freshwater management in Marlborough organised by the Marlborough District Council.

 

Thursday 23/02/23 7-9pm

Scenic Hotel – Marlborough Room, 65 Alfred Street, Blenheim Central

 

This is the first of three consultation periods over the next two years, as part of the Government's Essential Freshwater package and in particular the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.

 

Council wants to hear from communities, businesses, and iwi across the district what they value about the region’s freshwater and about their visions for the future of Marlborough’s freshwater.

 

Marlborough is a large district with various needs for freshwater, so this first round of submissions is also asking for your feedback on freshwater management units (FMUs), which are six areas grouped because they are a single catchment or group of catchments with similar characteristics.
