Wai Not Go Green?

The Greater Wellington Regional Council invites you to partner with them in creating a new approach to managing the region’s natural resources. 

As a regional council, Greater Wellington has policies and plans covering soils, waterways, wetlands and lakes, air, the coastal and marine environment and biological diversity - plants, birds, fish, lizards, and insects.  They have set up a new committee - Te Upoko Taiao – Natural Resource Plan Committee - to oversee their next generation of plans and would like as much community input and participation as possible.

There are two local events, one in Masterton and one at Tinui (sorry we missed the Martinborough one which was on the 7th) and they are particularly keen to get folks along to the Masterton event THIS MONDAY 12th at the Masterton Town Hall (7pm - 9.30pm). At these workshops everybody will have an opportunity to share their ideas in small groups.  All contributions from the workshops will be included in reports that will be published on their website and will form the basis of the next round of discussion about the possible shape of our future policies and plans. 

It's crucial that we make our thoughts on the Wairarapa's natural resources heard so get along to the workshop if you can and share what it is that you value in your local and regional environment. Let's do all we can to protect our precious resources for the future.

For more details on the workshops visit the WaiNot Events Calendar. Please RSVP by emailing regional-plan@gw.govt.nz or contacting Shelley Martin, 04 802 0337.
