Our Mission
Accelerating local action for our fresh water.
By working together, we empower communities to understand their water, their environment, and their impact.
WAI Wānaka aims to connect the many individuals, community groups, iwi, landowners and businesses undertaking positive work towards building healthy ecosystems and supporting community wellbeing in our region.
Taking a whole-of-basin approach, we encourage, utilise and facilitate science (including planning, research and monitoring), community action and educational projects and programmes relating to these purposes.
WAI Wānaka’s actions are based on our shared roadmap, it’s called the Community Catchment Plan.
By working together, we empower communities to understand their water, their environment and their impact
This is WAI 2021
‘This is WAI’ is our first printed document all about WAI Wānaka.
It’s a celebration of the people and the progress at WAI Wānaka over the last five years. It is also a call to action for those that would like to be more involved.
OUR VISION:
Healthy ecosystems and community wellbeing for future generations
we believe that the more people know, the more prepared they are to step up. each of us – locals and visitors alike – has a part to play in protecting this special place.
we do what we do, because we want our work to be effective and enduring. we want the people involved with our projects to look back with pride at what our community has achieved by working together.
