Summary
The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the actual and potential environmental effects of the Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) proposal to re-divert an additional 15% (for a total of 20%) of the Kaituna River’s flow back into Ongatoro/Maketū Estuary (the estuary). This will help improve the health and the mauri (life-force) of the area. The full assessment of environmental effects (AEE) is included in the resource consent and designation applications.
