Overview
Grovetown Lagoon is a remnant oxbow, or horseshoe lake adjacent to the Wairau River, four kilometres northeast of Blenheim. The Lagoon has become a popular area for walking, biking, picnicking, kayaking and bird watching as a result of the continuing restoration efforts of Te Whānau Hou Grovetown Lagoon Incorporated (the Society) over the last 20+ years.
Te Whānau Hou means a new family and the foundation of the group is a cooperative partnership between Ngāti Rārua, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Rangitāne o Wairau, the Department of Conservation, the Council and the community.
A management plan had been prepared by the Society in 2003 and this has guided restoration efforts at the Lagoon since. However, in response to a desire to ensure there is ongoing protection of Grovetown Lagoon and restoration efforts continue, a new management plan has been developed. Your feedback on this new plan is now invited with the submission period open until 8 May 2025.
