Bremner Bay Catchment Group

Group Vision 

“Bremner Bay will have safe, clean freshwater, greatly improved biodiversity and great access for the community to use the bay to it’s fullest” 

Group Goals 

•  Treatment of stormwater from source to outflow 
•  Monitor, improve and advise on water quality for recreation 
•  Advocate for a long-term plan to thoughtfully improve user amenity 
•  Improve native biodiversity and control invasives 
•  Provide opportunities for community engagement and education 

 The group will achieve these goals by: 

•  Developing a comprehensive water testing plan and scoping nature-based solutions to stormwater issues 
•  Seek to work with QLDC to develop a plan for the reserve area around the bay 
•  Collaborate with other community groups such as Te Kākano and the Upper Clutha Wilding Tree Group (UCWTG) to support ongoing native planting and invasive control in the area 
•  Run regular community events and workshops

Progress to date:

• Temporary signage has been installed at Bremner Beach for the summer season
• Regular E. coli testing has begun and results can be found on the Summer test results webpage
