1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide the Banks Peninsula Water
Management Zone Committee with an overview of the Community Waterways
Partnership for the Committee’s consideration, determine the
Committee’s interest in joining the Partnership and explore opportunity
for alignment.
2. Officer
Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Banks

3. Report Te Pūrongo
Community Waterways Partnership (CWP)
Purpose and Goals
3.1 The Community Waterways Partners work in partnership under the CWP Charter
to achieve outcomes for our urban waterways that cannot be attained
independently. We do this by sharing expertise, networks, and resources
to promote and achieve solutions needed to improve the ecological health,
indigenous biodiversity, and amenity value of our waterways in Christchurch. We
uphold Te Mana o Te Wai to actively protect and enhance the mauri of
Christchurch urban waterways.
3.2 The
purpose of this presentation to the Committee is to provide an overview of the
CWP, to determine the Committee’s interest in joining the partnership and
explore opportunity for alignment.
CWP
Objectives
3.3 CWP
Partners will work together to:
3.3.1 Establish a strong
collaborative partnership between community groups, businesses, researchers,
and local, regional, and central government.
3.3.2 Achieve consensus on
messaging interwoven with appropriate cultural narrative, and market these with
an innovative package of shared and consistent material suitable for a variety
of audiences.
3.3.3 Develop a network of
trained people to deliver the key messages professionally and consistently.
3.3.4 Design and implement
stormwater, habitat, and water conservation educational resources to supplement
existing resources for use in schools and community events.
3.3.5 Advocate for
incentives that enable community implementation of positive stormwater, habitat
and water conservation actions and solutions.
3.3.6 Establish and
facilitate a network of water care champions and kaitiaki.
3.3.7 Advocate for national
legislative change to better address stormwater contaminants.
3.3.8 Develop research to
evaluate outcomes and improvements in our knowledge of best practice community
interventions.
3.3.9 Establish,
facilitate, or support projects to deliver these outcomes.
Background
3.4 Christchurch
has many passionate community groups who are already working to protect and
improve their local waterways. Activities involving local communities and
school, with support through partnership bring about behaviour changes, at
individual, household, and community level, to stop contaminants entering
stormwater and waterways, and degrading water quality.
3.5 Municipal
stormwater treatment infrastructure alone will not address this water quality
problem, it also needs communities to actively prevent pollution in the first
place. Given that in 2017, only 55% of Christchurch residents surveyed were
aware that stormwater from roads and properties mostly leads to waterways, a
need for community awareness-raising and engagement initiatives was identified,
hence the forming of the CWP.
3.6 The
CWP Charter was ratified in 2020 then placed under the Schedule 4(m) of the
Comprehensive Stormwater Network Discharge Consent (CSNDC), Communication,
Education, and Awareness, and through the consent funding provided. A
Christchurch City Council Facilitator of the partnership was appointed, and in
2024 a Steering Group formed.
The CWP is a
partnership of 55 partnership groups, as listed below, who advocate for
resources to sustain the partnership and deliver these outcomes:
