NPS-FM 2020 Community Engagement Round Two

Closed 15 Dec 2023

Opened 3 Nov 2023

Overview

The Government’s National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (NPS-FM 2020) requires councils to identify, through community and tangata whenua engagement, the values, visions, and aspirations for freshwater in the region. 

Council completed the 1st round of engagement earlier this year, which focussed on Freshwater Management Units (FMU), freshwater visions, and freshwater values.

Our Proposal

In order to implement the NPS-FM 2020, council is completing three rounds of community engagement to seek feedback from the public. 

This is the second round of engagement.

This round is focussing on what the public thinks of the proposed visions, values and environmental outcomes for each FMU and checking in that we have identified all the values that the community sees in these areas.

Why your views matter

The community feedback will be used to guide freshwater management in the region.

Council would like your feedback on the proposed visions, values and environmental outcomes for each FMU and checking in that we have identified all of your values for these areas. 

Anyone can make a submission. Your submission can support or oppose the proposals. If you oppose, you will be able to tell us what you would like to see instead. 

What happens next

This consultation closed on 15 December 2023. 

Following close of consultation, we will analyse the feedback received and provide a summary to the community.
