Whaitua te Whanganui a Tara Committee Have Your Say

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

One week left to tell Whaitua Committee what to do about poos in streams!

Whaitua te Whanganui a Tara Committee is tackling the tough (and smelly!) issues when it comes to water quality and they need your input!

Wastewater getting into streams harms our enjoyment of our streams and harbour. No one wants poos in streams.

The committee really wants to know what you think contributes to our wastewater problem, how we can solve it and who should pay for it.

Your responses will help the Committee develop recommendations for how wastewater should be managed in the future.

Thank you to everyone who took 5 minutes to tell the committee what you think. If you haven’t yet, there’s still a week left to join the conversation: haveyoursay.gw.govt.nz...
