Power boats regatta a roaring success

help lower river levels.

“In mid-May we will carry out some gravel and sediment removal to reduce the height of the riverbed.

“This will provide an interim solution whilst we explore longer term solutions to aggradation.”

“The key fish species we are protecting are inanga. Juvenile inanga are the main species that make up the whitebait catch.”

“If the water level drops over the coming weeks we will be able to reopen the boardwalk. The situation will be reviewed daily.”

Currently the Eastern side boardwalk (Grove Road side) is dry and free of water.
