To prevent any degradation of the Orari River.

One of the threats to the river is a proposed dam for an irrigation scheme. This will destroy the natural character of the river. We want to protect the environmental and cultural integrity of the Orari River, and retain the gorge, both in their free-flowing state. We want to maintain public access to the Orari River as an educational and recreational resource, and we advocate for greater protection of the river and catchment in District and Regional plans.
