Water

• Water quality

• Blocked water flow from clogging of willows & other weeds

• Opening river mouth

• Aquatic species 

• Swim-able river

• Anaerobic pools

• Low flow - trickle or flood scenario  

• Floods (Buxton camp ground, coastal erosion) 

• Bottle neck during a flood at the Main Road bridge

• No flow out to sea (most of the time)

Plant

• Improved appearance, native planting  

• Main Road planting

• Blocked water flow from clogging of willows & other weeds

Septic

• Septic run off from effluent station

• Drain rather than a stream (septic) 

• Polluted water signs on the Main Road

 Living 

• Coastal nesting birds, salt marsh 

• Ducks (E. Coli)

Research / Information / Other 

• More information (tests) 

• Living Streams test results

• Ownership, who's responsible

• Walking track needed

• Small catchment

• Dumping 

• Stream fencing

Willows

• Bore poison willows before removal

• Funding / ownership? 

• After removal what's next? Slumping river beds > plan

• Timing, consider future floods 

• Research / knowledge on feasibility 

• Plan / map of river

PLANTING

• Wetland development 

• Funding

• Flooding research - why? 

• Where - plan of areas

• Research septic system

• Timing - consider future flooding

WATER QUALITY

• Public testing results - database + starting point of history out there

• Create plan / strategy - costing? 

• Funding?

OTHER

• Keep community informed 

• Cheviot web page, HDC website + facebook page.
