Integrated Catchment Management Group

Te Rōpū Whakahaere Whaitua Awa

Integrated Catchment Management Group of ActivitiesWhat we do

Integrated Catchment Management is a new set of activities that integratesservices in five catchments across the Bay of Plenty (Tauranga, Rotorua,Rangitāiki, Kaituna and the eastern catchments) to protect the natural characterof catchments, harbours and associated coastal environments. The activitiesincorporate work previously provided through the Sustainable Water, LandUse, Coastal and Biodiversity Programmes.

There is a regional component to these activities to ensure they operateeffectively and efficiently in a coordinated way.

Why we do these activities

The key issues that the Integrated Catchment Management activities addressare water quality and quantity, erosion control and soil conservation, biodiversityprotection and enhancement as well as coastal protection and enhancement.Sediment, nutrients and bacteria are key contaminants of water from a rangeof land uses. These issues will be addressed primarily through landowneragreements, tangata whenua and industry partnerships, community groupsand volunteer activity.

Key challenges

The key challenges we face in the next 10 years are:

Implementing the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management,meaning new policies and regulations that are likely to affect the wayour natural resources are used and managed.

Balancing economic growth aspirations with environmental protection.

Addressing gaps in our understanding of nutrient and sedimentdischarges from land runoff and the effects they have on our freshwaterand coastal areas.

Achieving co-ordinated management of our catchments to address themain issues of concern to the community and iwi across a variety ofpartners and agencies.

Managing competing uses and values in the catchments and theirwaterways.

Unknown specific effects of climate change (such as sea level rise andchanges in frequency and severity of droughts and floods) and addressingthe effect of these changes on current and future needs.

Ensuring we have the right science information to make the rightdecisions.

Managing the effect of dominant land uses in the catchments that mayaffect water quantity and quality.

Addressing on-going management of soil health, which is critical tomaintaining a productive land and soil base.

Behavioural change of landowners to meet the future demands. This isa nationally recognised issue.

Significant negative effects of the activities

The Council’s Integrated Catchment Management activities may have thefollowing negative effects:

Potential income for private landowners may be reduced where land isretired under riparian or biodiversity management plans, or land use haschanged to implement catchment action plans.

Improving andmaintaining water quality, managing erosion and protectinghigh value ecological sites will have economic costs for our communities,both in rates as well as restrictions to production of land.

If the community doesn’t engage in decision making about targets forintegrated catchment activities, how money will be spent and on what,

Integrated Catchment Management Group of Activities

then decisions may be made which don’t represent the community's trueaspirations for managing natural resources.

Making the change to more sustainable land uses and land use practicemay have economic, cultural and social costs for individual landowners,and possibly the regional economy. This will be primarily throughimplementing water quality and quantity requirements under the NationalPolicy Statement for Freshwater Management.

A capped budget supporting biodiversity work will not allow for anincrease in habitat, and site management and protection in individualcatchments. This will affect stopping the decline regionally of ourthreatened habitats and affect our ability to endure climate change andreduce the impact of hazards.

Limiting economic growth potential for under-used land.

Risks

The risks that threaten our expected future or outlook are:

Not enough voluntary uptake of riparian management and biodiversitymanagement plans needed to achieve catchment action plan objectives.

Opposition to some actions required to improve water quality, particularlyif new land use rules are introduced (for instance in the Rotorua lakes).

Possible land use intensification in those catchments not protected byland use policies or rules.

Differing competing values within a community that cannot easily bereconciled.

Sedimentation may increase in waterways and coastal harbours at anunmanageable rate through climate change and intensified land use.

Sea level rise and other climate change-related implications having largerthan anticipated impact within the period of this Plan.

Large storm surges or a significant tsunami.

Tauranga Harbour Activity What we do

The Tauranga Harbour activity integrates service delivery within the TaurangaHarbour and its catchments, fromWaihī to Pāpāmoa Beach and inland throughthe Kaimai Range. The catchment also includes Tauranga City, the largesturban centre in the Bay of Plenty. A specific Tauranga Harbour Programmehas been established to coordinate activities across the Regional Council thatinclude Tauranga Harbour.

As an outcome of the Tauranga Moana Iwi Collective Deed of Settlement, aTauranga Moana co-governance group will be established. A key function ofthe Group will be to prepare a Tauranga Moana Framework Document. Thisactivity will support operational actions of the Document.

Rotorua Lakes Activity

What we do

The Rotorua Lakes activity integrates the delivery of services within the RotoruaLakes catchments. Importantly, the work is undertaken through the RotoruaTe Arawa Lakes Programme, a partnership between Te Arawa Lakes Trust,

Rotorua Lakes Council and Bay of Plenty Regional Council. The Programmeis also part-funded through a Deed of Funding Agreement with the Crown.

For this Long Term Plan the key objectives of the Rotorua Te Arawa LakesProgramme are:

Meeting the Trophic Level Indices for each lake, which are set in theRegional Water and Land Plan, and

Achieving nutrient reduction targets set in the Regional Policy Statementfor Lake Rotorua, and other individual lake action plans.

Challenges and risks that are specific to this activity include:

Achieving sustainable land-use change and land management changein Lake Rotorua's catchment.

Finding cost-effective and achievable engineering solutions of nitrogenreduction in Lake Rotorua's catchment.

Purchasing nitrogen reductions within Lake Rotorua catchment to achieveIntegrated Framework targets.

Kaituna Activity What we do

The Kaituna Activity integrates service delivery in the Kaituna, Waitahanui,Pongakawa / Waihī Estuaries.

Te Maru o Kaituna (Kaituna River Authority) has just been established bystatute under the Tapuika Treaty settlement. This will set up a newco-governance structure for the catchment involving local iwi and localgovernment. The Authority's key function will be to oversee revision of theKaituna River and Ongatoro/Maketū Estuary Strategy (2009). This activity willsupport operations prioritised through the Strategy.

Rangitaiki Activity What we do

The Rangitāiki Activity integrates services within the Rangitāiki catchment.The Rangitāiki River is the longest river in the Bay of Plenty. It begins near thecentre of the North Island and flows out to sea at Okorero (Thornton). The rivercatchment is formed by a large number of tributaries, including the Whirinaki,Wheao and Horomanga rivers.

The Rangitāiki River Forum was formed in May 2012 and is a co-governancepartnership of representatives from Ngāti Whare, Ngāti Manawa, Ngāti Awa,Tūwharetoa (Bay of Plenty), as well as councillors from Bay of Plenty RegionalCouncil and Whakatāne District Council.

The Forum has developed “Te Ara Whānui O Rangitāiki - Pathways of theRangitāiki”, a document that sets out the communities’ vision, desired outcomesand objectives for the Rangitāiki catchment. This activity will support theoperational actions of the document.
