3.4 Committee functions include:

· Facilitating community engagement and collaboration.

· Facilitating the provision of advice through to councils and others contributing to freshwater management.

· Enhancing delivery capability and coalition of the willing – working with stakeholders across all sectors to extend the resources available to implement the CWMS.

3.5 The purpose and functions of the Committee are fulfilled by preparing a Zone Committee Action Plan to cover a three-year period that focuses on 3 to 5 priorities.

3.6 The Committee does not have the authority to commit any council to any path or expenditure and its recommendations do not compromise the Council’s freedom to deliberate and make decisions.

3. Report Te Pūrongo

Background

3.1 Both the Banks Peninsula and Christchurch West Melton Zone Committees and Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour expressed an interest in advocating for a soil conservation programme to become available for the Banks Peninsula ecological region, similar to the Soil Conservation and Revegetation Programme (SCAR) offered to North Canterbury landowners. The Banks Peninsula ecological region includes the Port Hills on both sides and the rest of Banks Peninsula as this area all has similar erosion prone soils – loess soils overlaying volcanic soils and rock.

3.2 Advocating for a soil conservation programme was one of the initiatives identified at the erosion and sediment control workshop held on 27 April 2023, jointly held by Christchurch West Melton and Banks Peninsula Zone Committees, together with Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour.

3.3 The Committee has actions in its Zone Committee Action Plan 2021-24 around supporting erosion and soil conservation initiatives:

3.3.1 We will advocate for and be engaged in: The collaborative development and funding of a soil conservation programme.

3.3.2 We will collaborate on practical projects by supporting: Collaborative erosion and sediment control initiatives, that the Committee has jointly identified with the Christchurch West Melton Committee and Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour.

3.4 Banks Peninsula Zone Committee also included the following in their early LTP input to Environment Canterbury and Christchurch City Council (28 September 2023):

3.4.1 Invest in a Banks Peninsula wide soil conservation programme.

3.5 Rationale: our farming community gets very little support or advice to help them understand and implement techniques to avoid erosion and very little advice and support about what to do once they have erosion on their properties. Erosion has impacts on farm economics as well as causing significant damage to bush remnants, recreation tracks and roads. Sediment has significant impact on the health of our waterways. Investing in soil conservation will help the Banks Peninsula landscape be more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

3.6 On 23 November 2023, the Banks Peninsula Zone Committee was invited to attend Christchurch West Melton Zone Committee’s meeting which included a presentation of the SCAR Programme Report in North Canterbury. The purpose of the item was to give the committees a greater understanding of what a soil conservation programme like this would involve if they wish to continue advocating for something similar to come to the Port Hills (and Banks Peninsula ecological region). A copy of the agenda paper is attached.

Report

3.7 Gina Waibl will provide the Committee with a verbal report back on the Soil Conservation and Revegetation Programme Report provided at the November 2023 meeting of the West Melton Zone Committee (attached) and will lead a discussion on options confirm an approach or next steps for a soil conservation programme in the Banks Peninsula zone.

10. Facilitator's Update 20 February 2024
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/228894
Presenter(s) Te Kaipāhō :	Jaimee Grant, Zone Facilitator, Environment Canterbury

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide the Christchurch West Melton Water Management Zone Committee with information on the community engagement events/relevant updates and actions from previous meetings.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Banks Peninsula Water Management Zone Committee:

1. Receive the information in the Zone Facilitator’s Report.

3. Report Te Pūrongo

New youth representative for the Banks Peninsula Zone Committee

3.1 Erana Riddell has stepped down as the Youth representative on the Committee. Expressions of interest to find a suitable youth representative we sought from the Environment Canterbury Youth Rōpū, Christchurch Youth Council, Wairewa Rūnanga, Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke (Rāpaki), Koukourarata, and Ōnuku rūnanga. A selection process will be followed with the intention of appointing a new youth representative to the Committee by the end of April.

Zone Committee Refresh

3.2 A zone committee refresh will take place towards the end of this financial year. Advertising and communications are being finalised and details will be provided in due course as they are confirmed. Zone committee members who are coming to the end of their three-year term will be advised.

Zone Committee Review – update for zone committees - February 2024

3.3 At its meeting in August 2023, the Canterbury Mayoral Forum agreed to a review of Zone Committees to enable and support local leadership and ownership of freshwater management issues into the future.

3.4 Environment Canterbury has commenced planning the 2024 zone committee review. This review will focus on what structure, function and resourcing are needed to support local freshwater leadership into the future.

3.5 The CWMS is underpinned by a collaborative approach between Environment Canterbury, territorial authorities, Ngāi Tahu, sector groups and communities. While the aim is to keep this review simple, it will reflect this collaborative ethos by engaging with key stakeholders under the auspices of the Canterbury Mayoral Forum (as the ‘owner’ of the CWMS).

3.6 The review’s objectives are to answer the following main questions:

a. What local freshwater leadership is required in the future?

b. For which actions will key partners (Environment Canterbury, Territorial Authorities and mana whenua) need local leadership to deliver freshwater management outcomes in the future?

c. What resourcing is required to support local leadership?

3.7 Environment Canterbury is leading the review and will report back to the Mayoral Forum, following engagement with Mayors, zone committee members, and mana whenua representatives. Refer to Table 1 below for key actions and milestones.

Table 1: Zone Committee review – key actions and milestones

August 2023	Mayoral Forum agrees to a review of Zone Committees
December 2023	Initial engagement with Zone Committee Chairs and Deputies
February – April 2024	Engagement with Zone Committees, Mayors, mana whenua and other key partners
May 2024	Preliminary report to Mayoral Forum and agreement to next steps
August 2024	Progress update to Mayoral Forum
November 2024	Final report with recommended options for Mayoral Forum decision

3.8 Please feel free to liaise with your zone committee facilitator to provide feedback on the proposed approach and discuss how to best involve your committee in this review.

3.9 We look forward to working closely with you over the coming months.
