12. Other Matters

Healthy Waterways Partnership

The Committee noted that a report was being prepared by Belinda Margetts on the Healthy Waterways Action plan to go before the Christchurch City Council in the coming months with an intention for the Christchurch City Council to present the draft proposal at a Hui organised by the Community Waterways Partnership in June.

The Committee discussed what a collaborative partnership would look like acknowledging the following problematic issues:

· There are already ties amongst the existing bodies.

· Engagement by the CWMZC with the Healthy Water Ways action plan would be impractical if there is not commitment by Environment Canterbury or the Christchurch City Council.

· The statutory authorities have a much greater amount of influence on outcomes.

· The partnership might not necessarily come from the Zone Committees.
