Shape the future of water in Wellington and the Hutt Valley

Broken pipes and major leaks from ageing water infrastructure signals an urgent need for our councils and community to solve water quality issues. Our urban and rural streams are not meeting good water quality standards.

The Whaitua Te Whanganui-a-Tara Committee is a group of local residents, mana whenua, and council representatives, from the Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and Wellington working together to plan for a better future for water.

Committee members are out in person and virtually having open and frank conversations with communities about what they believe the future of water quality should look like and to help design the tools and solutions that the committee will recommend to Greater Wellington.
